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 grocers also demanded
that Arnall take back an OPS
claim that adjustments in the
ceilings would have more effect
on retail prices in independent
than in chain stores.
Howard McAnulty, secretary
of the Oregon Food Merchants
association, claimed , that most
staple canned goods are already
selling at less than ceiling pric
es. Gordon Stevenson, general
manager of the Northwest Groc
ery company, said his firm, a
wholesale outlet, is currently
taking only about two-thirds of
the allowed markup.

WATCH for OPENING
Sydney, Australia (U.R)
Australia plans to set up what it
hopes will be the first perma
nent air base in Antarctica.
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.

resentative from four Northwest
states, at the first federal civil
defense administration police in
stitute, adopted a resolution
calling for adequate compensa
tion for injury while on duty or
