Committee To
 Investigate Fish Sail Next Sunday

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is (R)- Japanese competition in the AL askan fishing industry off Alaska will be investigated by a House of Representatives committee which sails Sunday.
 Committee members said that Alaskan fishermen had complain ed of Japanese boats invading waters which Alaskans thought should be reserved for their ex- elusive use. The committee will also investigate the use of traps in the taking of salmon, and the advisability of changing the sal mon season; it's effect on herring fishing and the salmon fisheries; whether the traps set by the large companies encroach on the rights of the individual fisher men.
 The committee will also hear testimony whether the control of Alaska's resources should be turned over to the Alaskan Leg islature instead of being handled by Congress as at present.
 The committee plans a wide swing around the Gulf of Alaska with hearings scheduled for Cor dova, Anchorage, Kodiak, Sitka, Juneau, Petersburg, Wrangell, Craig, and Ketchikan, and upon their returning to the States, fur ther hearings at Seattle and San Francisco.

Stefansson Says
 Alaska Would Make Good Home

NEW YORK, Aug. Is (4H - Vilhiamar Stefansson said that the problem of developing Alas ka was chiefly psychological, since we no longer are frontier minded"
 He said mat the Territory would make a good home "in general for the people of any na- tionality irrespective of the eli matic conditions they have been used to.'
 It could easily be developed to a point where 1t would stand com parison with the Scandinavian countries, commented Stefansson in an interview on Secretary Ickes' advocacy of the idea of .ransplanting refugees from Flu rope to Alaska.
 Stefansson said that most peo ple's minds were burdened with misconceptions about Alaska, and don't realize how easily the Territory's resources could be de veloped.
 Take neWsprint as an eXam-  pie: If the Canadians can export neWsprint to America and make profit even after paying the tariff, think what Alaska could do. IL is nearer to the United States and wouldn't have to pay the duty
 of course that industry would require great capital but if Am erican newspapers are willing to invest in Canadian properties, why couldn't some of the papers especially those on the West Coast, invest in an Alaskan enter prise. There would be a market also with Japan provided we stay on good terms with that coun- try said Stefansson.

Eskimo Suffers Heart Attack in Sacramento. Cal.
Eskimo From Nome? Has Heart Attack in Calf.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Aug. Is tP) A man who identified himself as Edward La Plante, aged siXty-four, and one of the Eskimo guides who drove thru the Arctic wastes to the wreck age of the Post-Rogers plane 4 years ago today, collapsed on the highway near here yesterday.
 A motorist brought the native to the hospital, where attendants said he was suffering from heart attack, after walking from Vallejo,
 LaPlante said he left Nome three months ago to join an Am erican delegation to Washing ton to protest against the alleged poaching by Japanese fishermen in Alaskan waters. A heart at tack caused him to miss the del egation at Portland. La Plante then said he planned to meet the party at San Diego and make his return voyage to Alaska aboard a government transport ship.
 The haggard traveller who said he was also known as Dr. White Elk, was reticent over the part he played in reaching the scene of the Post-Rogers crash, but dis cussed the poaching episodes free ly; "The Japanese poaching in Alaskan waters is far more ser ious than people in the States believe. That's the sore point which may lead to plenty of trouble" he said.
