CARVED OUT OF A RUGGED COASTLINF, Newfoundland’s big
gest city, St. John’s, is focal point of many big new industries.
Maior Developments Sfirred In
Rooming Little Newfoundland
By JAMES MONTAGNES
NEA Special Correspondent
gT. JOHN’S, Nfld.—Out of Rus
sian and German prison camps
has come a young man who
promises to become an important
ficure in the North American
economy. He is Dr. Alfred Arthur
Valdmanis, a minister in the
former Latvian Republic, who is
now director-general of economic
development in the Canadian
province of Newfoundland.
With the backing of a progres
sive Newfoundland government,
headed by Premier Joseph R.
Smallwood, Valdmanis is begin
ning to develop the island’s nat
ural resources. He is attracting
labor and capital to utilize the
vast timber resources, fisheries,
and untold mineral wealth of the
island of Newfoundland and the
mainland area of Labrador. The
boom is underway.
Newfoundland covers about 42,-
000 square miles of area, about
the size of the state of Tennessee.
It has thousands of miles of bleak
coastline, and icebergs are in view
much of the year. There are some
350,000 people on the island, scat
tered in small fishing villages
along the coast, with few roads
connecting them, and only one
railway line crossing the island.
On the Canadian mainland,
Newfoundland has jurisdiction
over Labrador, an area of 120,000
souare miles, about half the size
of Texas. In Labrador there are
only some 5000 people, mostly In-~
dians and Eskimos. But there are
vast mineral deposits, water
power resources and virgin stands
of timber.
® £ *x
Since Newfoundland became a
provinee of Canada in 1949, indus
trial development has boomed.
The bhiggest single development,
already planned before the 1949
union, is the $200,000,000 iron ore
development in Labrador and ad
joining Quebec province, This de
velopment is jointly financed by
Canadian mining interests and
U. S. steel interests.
~ Valdmanis recommended more
indusiries. He and the premier
toured Europe and the U. S. and

Since he joined the government
there has been built a $3,500,000
cement plant and there is a
$4,000,000 textile mill near St.
John’s to be in operation next
Spring. A Swiss company has de
cided to build a $5,000,000 heavy
machinery plant and other plans
call for a fur processing factory,
a leather tannery and a leather
goods factory.
A birch mill has been built by
the government and will utilize
the vast birch forests in New
foundland and Labrador to make
veneers, plywood, doors and floor
ing. Planned for an early start are
a Marine oil hardening plant for
the fish industry, a shoe factory,
two chemical plants using by
products of the fisheries to make
fertilizers and other chemicals,
and a factory to'make hollow ce
ment bricks.

Canadian mining companies
have gone into the island and have
located important finds of copper
and copper-zinc deposits which
lead to possible new mines on
both the east and west coasts of
the island. And prospectors are
busy tracing possible oil, asbestos,
vanadium and geld outeroppings.
Discussions are underway with a
German firm to develop coal
fields.
Probably. the largest develop
ment, even topping the iron ore
development already underway
in Labrador, is the signing of
exclusive rights in timber, min
eral and hydro-electric power re
sources to a compoany financed by
American and Canadian capital
ists. This undertaking, involving
24000 square miles, is-just begin=
ning to get into motion.
A Swiss company has been
formed to cut 200.000 cords of
wood annually in two Labrador
timber concessions totalling 1400
square miles. This will mean en
tire camps set up in uninhabited
wilderness, thousands of men
brought in and the Newfoundland
government will receive $1,000,000
annually in royalty on the cord
wood.

Soil Of Mexico
Holds Secrets
0f 200 Cities
WASHINGTON—Two thousand
or more ancient cities are buried
in Mexican soil, according to a
Mexican authority in anthropolo
gy, but few will ever be found
because Mexico has only 30 ar
chaeologists to join in the “treas
ure hunt.”
This estimate of Mexico's ar
chaeological treasures was made
by Ignacio Marquina, director of
the Instituto Nacional de Antro
pologia e Historia, who says that
most of the entombed cities may
remain lost forever with so few
arechaeologists exploring Mexico’s
history-laden subsoil.
The great civilizations of the
Mayas and the Aztecs flourished in
Mexico and Central America long
before the arrival of Columbus.
Their achievements in the natural
sciences, such as astronomy, were
remarkable, as were their highly
developed social systems, includ
ing courts and laws. Many of the
undiscovered cities lie buried in
the dense and virtually impene
trable jungles of southern Mexico.
Foreign Investmert
The archaeological and anthro
pological exploration in Mexico is
being carried on principally by
foreign institutions, whose investi
gations have been welcomed by
the Mexican Government. In the
last year, for instance, Carnegie
Institute investigators working in
Yucatan found a city entombed
beneath Yucatan forests and soon
will begin excavations.
Mexico has long been an ar
chaeologist’s paradise, for in its
vast mountainous and forested
reaches many famous Indian cul
tures left the marks of their‘ad
vanced civilizations — temples,
pyramids, dwellings.
The remains of ancient civiliza-

culture believed to have flourished

Loyalty Board
File Leaks
Being Studied
WASHINGTON Jan. —The na
tions” Loyalt{ Review Board, top
quasi-judicial tribunal on govern
gllent employee loyalty, is in trou=
e,
Twice within a fortnight Sena
tor Joseph R. McCarthy (R) of
Wisconsin has made public exten
sive exerpts from minutes of the
Loyalty Review Board — whose
proceedings are supposed to be
about the nearest thing to top
secret that exists in Washington,
since the reputations of men and
women are at stake.
He has read on the floor of the
Senate bits from supposedly con
fidential correspondence between
the Review Board’s chairman and
the White House. He has told the
Senate that Review Board mem
bers have discussed with him
board meetings that are supposed
to be totally secret.
Should this be confirmed by an
investigation now under way,
members of the Review Board
might then be charged with com=
mitting an ethical breach of trust
in the field of domestic afftirs,
which is not unlike the breach in
the field of foreign affairs for
which the board ruled that gov
ernment officials should be dis
missed.
Cites Example
For example, the board ruled
that John Stewart Service should
be dismissed by the State Depart
ment not for disloyalty to the
United States, but because he had
given copies of reports, written
and marked confidential by him
self, to an outsider—and thereby
caused “reasonable doubt” as to
his loyalty.
The conclusion is unescapable |
that there is a bad leak in the
Review Board, though no one yet[
knows how big or how serious.
The board itself admits the trou- |

ble is somewhere in its own office
because of the very nature of the
leaks. The information that Sen
ator McCharthy is making public
is in a textual form available only
to the board.
A stenographic transcript is
made of the proceedings of each
meeting of the board. It may run
200 pages or so. Only three copies
of this ...... are made, ang....
all are filed in the office of board
chairman, Hiram Bingham,
But a digest is also made of the
transcript for each meeting. These
digests, 8 or 10 pages long, are
circulated to all of the approxi
mately 25 members of the board.
Thus all board members have
“minutes” of each meeting, but
only Mr. Bingham has the full
text.
Actual Quotes
Now, while it would be possible
for the “minutes” to be “leaked”
by any board member, Senator
McCarthy has actually quoted
from the detailed transcript—
which indicates that the leak is
not among the board members——
but in the Review Board office.
That does not mean that Re
view Board members have not
talked to Sentor McCarthy, as he
claims. It is possible they gave
him an account from memory, or
from their digest, of what went
on. But what the senator has
been quoting on the Senate floor
could only be obtained by some
one with access to Mr. Bingham's

office.
There is no indication to date
that actual FBI files have been
pilfered from the board’s office;
nothing has been leaked that
stems directly from these-—only
from the board's discussion of
them and particular cases.
The FBI files, as it happens,
are the only protion of Review
Board files in an area kept under
lock and key, day and night. The
Fire Department has made an ex
ception in its rules to permit this.
No cleaning woman is allowed to
enter at any time,
But there are no such arrange
ments in the case of the Review
Board’s regular office. Though
they are locked ::F at night, and
no one is allowed in the build
ing without a special pass, clean
ing women do have access to the
rooms every night.
Not *“Confidential’?
It may prove important in in
vestigations now under way that
the three copies of the transecript
in Mr. Bingham's office are not
marked ‘“‘confidential.” They are,
of course, highly confidential in
fact of top-secret character.
However, the fact remains that
they have never been marked
“confidential” since they are not
supposed to be available to any
one but the chairman and execu
tive secretary, who knows their
confidential character.
‘That missing designation,
though, may not make it possible
to pin an actual “crime” on any-
one, should it be discovered that
someone has been copying and
conveying them to outsiders.
For it is, apparently, no legal
crime for government employees
to transcribe or telephone the
contents of documents not labeled
“confidential” or “secret” to out
siders.
They cannot take them out of
the office without being guilty;
but if they transcribe them in the
office, or telephone their contents
from the office, that, it appears,
is not a crime.
Q. Does OPS permit so-called
tie-in sales?
A. The general rules, according
to OPS interpretation, are that a
seller may not require a tie-in sale
and may not increase his ceiling
prices. This, however, does not
prohibit any seller from offering
something in addition to that
which he offered during the same
base period and from making an
appropriate and reasonable charge
for the item as determined under
the applicable ceiling price regula
tion, provided the purchaser has a
full option to take or leave the
additional item.
Never keep more than a gallon
of gasoline or kerosene in your
home, and always store it in gal
vanized steel fuel cans to keep in
the explosive vapors.
