Alberta Plans -No
Gas Exports
EDMONTON, Alti. OP) Pr
mltr Mnning hai laid sufficient
reserves of natural gas do not
exist In Alberta to permit ex
port outside the provice.
In a statement, the Premier
aid no application for export of
(at under the government's new
controls legislation will be con
sidered until government Is satis
fied there is enough to meet the
needs of Alberta.
Province's Welfare First"
"The government's first and fore
most responsibility is to protect
the Interests and welfare of peo
ple of this province and we are
determined to carry out this re
sponsibility to the best of our abil
ity. "To this end, no application for
the export of natural gas will be
given favorable consideration un
til, such time as the government
is satisfied beyond question that
under sound conservation and pro
ration practices there are suffi
cient gas reserves to meet the
present and future domestic and
industrial requirements of the
people of this province.
'Doesn't Exist
"This condition definitely does
not exist at the present time and
is not likely to exist for some time
to come," the Premier said.
The statement of policy was
clarification of various govern
ment statements during a special
session of the Alberta legislature
two weeks ago.
At that time, the government
brought in legislation which close
ly controlled the amount of gas
that could be taken from the
ground. The laws passed over bit
ter opposition attacks, granted the
province s petroleum and natural
gas conservation board the right
to Issue a gas export permit with
cabinet approval.
The opposition demanded at that
time that the government prohibit
export of natural gas but the gov
ernment maintained that it could
not constitutionally prohibit export.

Firm Receives
E C A Contract
ABERDEEN HP) The Ander
son & Middleton Lumber Co. has
received an ECA lumber order
that will keep the plant at capacity
operation until late in September,
according to Charles A. Middle
ton, vice-president-treasurer.
The company, which resumed
operations Monday morning after
a two-week vacation shutdown,
will cut between 3 million and 4
million feet of lumber for ship
ment overseas. The lumber must
be shipped by Sept. 30, Middleton
said.
Middleton reported that an ECA
call for bids on 130 million feet
of lumber resulted in three U, S.
export firms getting a combined
supply order for 45 million feet.
The rest of the order went to Can
adian lumber mills.
The export firms have "split"
the order along West Coast mills.
Middleton said that one or two
other harbor mills may receive
orders to supply a part of the
lumber necessary to fill the export
firms' commitment.

Navy says, bo iar as is Known,
this is one of the most northern
of the Navy's secondary bases in
the Atlantic and Arctic regions.
Increasing emphasis is being
placed on the possibility of air
attack on the United States across
the polar regions. Thus both the
Navy and Air Force have been
intensifying efforts to maintain
patrol of those regions.
Special Ships Designed
The Navy, since the war, has
begun building or conversion of
ships and submarines into spe
cially designed radar picket craft.
Their mission is to watch for
strange planes stealing in across
the top of the world. The work
of these craft is operating on or
dinary survey missions along the
lonely coast lines of the far north.
Landing craft and vessels up to
50 tons do much of this coastal
survey work.
The Air Force already has ask
ed Congress for funds to build a
network of radar aircraft detec
tion stations along the northern
rim of the North American con
tinent. It "also is seeking funds
to improve aerial navigation of
its planes.
