Grocers Object To Statement by OPS Portland (U.R) Organiza tions of both retail and whole sale grocers here Wednesday asked that Office of Price Stabi lization Boss Ellis Arnall retract a statement that celling price ad justments would raise retail can ned goods prices.

The base would reinforce Aus tralia's claim on the biggest chunk of the great ice-bound continent. Australia's vast polar territory now covers an area al most twice as large as the whole of Australia itself. The air-minded Australian for eign minister, Richard G. Ca sey, who likes to fly his own two-seater plane, is much inter eled in Australia's Antarctic territory. .Casey announced last October that the government proposed to ask Capt. P. G. Taylor to make the first flight from Australia to the Antarctic mainland. The flight was contemplated for last January, but had to be postpon ed. Pacific Base Proposed Taylor flew across the south ern Pacific, from Australia to Chile, in 1951. He suggested an air base on Easter Island about 2,000 miles west of Chile where he landed his flying boat U. S. authorities are reported now to have started work on the proposed base. Its completion will be another step towards in auguration of a regular trans pacific service between South America and Australia. Taylor is expected to join a team of specialists which Aus tralia plans to send to Canada and the United States to learn about North Polar regions from American and Canadian experts. The Australian government is particularly anxious to adapt to its proposed base on Antarctica the lessons learned from the U. S. air base "Blue Jay" at the North Pole. Lieut. General Lew is Pick, chief of U. S. Army En gineers, recently revealed the existence of "Blue Jay" on the roof of the world. Conduct Research Australia now maintains two weather stations in the Antarc tic region. They were establish de in 1947 on- Heard and Mac- quarie Islands and with the French weather station on Ade- lie Land, provide daily radioed weather reports. . The . lonely Australian teams on the two islands also conduct research on cosmic rays, magne tism, radio waves and glaciers. Australia's interest in the Ant arctic is somewhat different from the Interest of the U. S., Russia and Canada in the Arc tic, which long range aircraft and guided missiles have made an arena of power politics. Australia's primary Antarctic need is non-military informa tion. It is interested in the ter ritory's possible economic value, through modern methods of de velopment of untapped natural resources. Importance Seen P. G. Law, polar expert in charge of the Antarctica divis ion of the external affairs de partment, recently said develop ment of atomic energy could help make Antarctica important. . Law speculated that the Aus tralian territory might contain deposits of oil and uranium which could be mined if the Ice and snow covering them were removed. He foresaw the possi bility of using heat from atomic energy plants to melt ice off vast sections of frozen wastes to allow scientific exploitation. Law believes reliable air tran Law believes reliable air transport and nuclear energy could bring development of the Antarctic possibly within SO to 100 years. Southwest Airways Not To Cut Service Jack Dorsey, station manager or Southwest airways here, an nounced this morning that quan tity restrictions on deliveries of aviation gasoline to the airline have been lifted by the petro leum administrator for defense. He explained that as a result of this action by PAD no reduc tion will be necessary in the lo cal carrier's service because of continuance of the petroleum strike. Bruce Brown, deputy petro leum administrator, gave two reasons for the adjustment on deliveries. He said that it has been estab lished that in California, Ore gon, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii there is greater reliance by people on air transportation than in other areas of the United States. Also, it was found that continued production of the 91 octane fuel used by Southwest will not appreciably reduce quantities of higher grade fuel used in vital military opera tions.
