WALLACE OPPOSES
 NEW ALASKA BOARD
Development Commission Does Not Meet With Approval of Secre-.
 tary of Agriculture, He Says

Washington, May 16.-oppositfon to the bill to create an Alaskan de- velopment board was expressed by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace in a letter today to Representative Curry of California of the house committee on territories.
 "The enactment of this measure,' Secretary Wallace said, would be highly prejudicial to national inter- ests and to Alaskan interests as we'll. It would remove wholesome checks against the exploitation of our vast national resources and would deprive Alaska of the technical help of the federal agencies which combine long experience and the best scientific knowledge in studying and develop ing specific naturel resources.
 By creating an Alaskan board com posed of representatives placed there , by each of the federal agencies now active in the territory and of one or two permanent residents of Alaska ; every proper purpose sought to be \ accomplished by this measure could be brought about without jeopar- dizing national and territorial inter- ests.'
