Me Govern, Alaska Department of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, was read at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon today by acting secretary John Keyser.

 T received your wire this morn ing and also one from the Junaeu Chamber, likewise requesting that publicity be given the fact that en- ployment does not exist in Alaska for the number of persons going up there.
