BIOLOGIST CLAIMS ALASKA WAS X TOURISTS PARADISE
 IN THE AGES OF LONG AGO

PASADENA, Calif.-Dr. Philip s, Smith, of the United States Geolog ical Survey, sent the American As- sociation for the Advancement of Science report picturing Alaska as tourists paradise during the ice age.
 Dr. Smiths paper was sent as part of symposium tracing the origin of first Americans 10000 to 30,000 years ago. His report on the geographic and geologic evidence relating to q connection between Siberia and north western Alaska suggested that in the Tertiary time perhaps Boring Sea was all land.
 "In spite of the popular misconcep- tion of Alaska as an inhospitable and forhidding land, it really had attrac- tions which would appeal to primitive man, whether he belonged to the Ter tiary time or the present" said Dr. Smith.
 "All evidence afforded by fossils re- garding climatic conditions in Alaska in the Tertiary period indicates it en- joyed temperatures somewhat warm CT than now characterizes the south ern part of the Aleutian islands and northern Japan.
 During the Pleistocene epoch, while most of the northern United States and practically all of Canada were overwhelmed by ice sheets. Alaska, except for the high land tracts, was free 0 fice.'
