THREE PEAkER5
 HEARD AT (. OF
 (. MEET T0DAY
Prof. H. C. WfIt6x 1etfs of UnivefsiY's Pdff
 in War

Speakers at the Juneau Chamber of Commerce meeting at. noon to- day in the Baranof Hotel included Howard G. Wilcox, Dean of the School of Mines at the University of Alaska; Royal Sundell, Pan Am erican Airways official from Browns vile, Texas, and w. E. Crouch, chief of the Game Management Division of the Fish and Wildlife Service, Washington, D. c.
 Prof. Wilcox told the members of the Chamber that although the Uni versity of Alaska has been affected by the war effort, adjustments are being made to continue all ac- tivities. essAs .,
 He said that the War Department believes that most students should be allowed to remain in school, and that quota of 88 students has been allowed by the Army for students to be enrolled in an Enlisted Reserve Corps, not subject to the draft, po- tential officer material upon grad uation. Technical students also are being encouraged to stay in school to prepare themselves for filling technical positions in the war effort. He reported that some students have enlisted and have been drafted and said that two former students who joined the air force, already have lost their lives in the war.
 PA Official Speaks a
 MT. Sundell, an old friend of Maj. Gen. Jimmy" Doolittle, American war ace who led the raid on Tokyo, told members of the Chamber that this was his first trip to Alaska. He said he was impressed by the lack Of transportation in the Territory, es- pecially to points in the Interior. AS an example, he cited the case of Nome, reporting that when he was there two weeks ago, not one com mercial ship had arrived there since the first of the year.
 He reported food shortages acute in Nome and said that the only meat available is reindeer Shortages of butter and milk also exist, he re- ported.
 MT. Sundell said that the future for Alaskan transportation looks bright, however, and assured his audience that the setting up of new methods of transportation will in no way affect the old established means. He predicted that the new transportation would increase the use of other means and cited the example of the highway to Mexico City as an example. This road doubled the business of that branch of PAA, he stated.
 Extend Salmon Seasons
 MT. Crouch reported that he was in Alaska to see to it that the Ter ritory produces as much salmon as possible to fill the need for canned goods in the war effort, and to ex- tend the seasons whenever such extensions would not be harmful to vital conservation efforts.
 This is MT. Crouch's ninth trip to the Territory in as many years.
 Other guests included Ray Ken shaw, flying Wildlife Agent of the Alaska Game Commission, and Judge" Edward F. Medley, Seattle attorney. Lu Liston was welcomed back.

in time of war; provided the regu- lations governing the same are pro- mulgated and enforced in manner which will eliminate all unnecessary travel without, at the same time subjecting those residents of Alaska who must travel from time to time and who are not prohibited from doing so by the necessary regula- tions, to burdensome and costly de- lays, and
 WHEREAS, on account of the fact that no system of travel control can work smoothly until a certain amount of experience has been gain ed and the results of the regulations observed; and this has already been demonstrated in the delays which have been caused to some bonafide residents of Alaska in obtaining permission to return home from seattle ....-.-.-..s.-,-..-.- - .-A.-
 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RE- SOLVED by the Juneau. Chamber of Commerce that we commend tbe Alaska Defense Command, and the Western Defense Command, for their exercise of control of civilian travel to and from Alaska, but, at the same time, We respectfully make to Major General s, B. Buckner, Commanding General at Fort Rich ardson, and to General J. L. De- Witt. Commanding General, west ern Defense Command, San, Fran cisco, the following suggestions
 q. That the regulations be amended, if necessary, so as to facilitate the travel. of bonafide resi- dents of Alaska from the United States and Canada into the Terri tory without the delay which the present regulations require, and which in some cases results in a great amount of inconvenience and greatly increased expense.
 g. That some system be devised for obtaining more quickly the prop CT identification of persons who are entitled to travel to Alaska, and where Identification can be readily established at the point of departure, that no further delay be prescribed thereafter.
 8. That in all cases where there is doubt regarding Identification, and the right of the applicant to travel to Alaska, the officials of the Travel Control Board in Seattle be permitted to issue travel permit upon receiving the necessary proof of identification by telegram through the Travel Control officials, or Milf tary Police of the Alaska Defense Command in Alaska, who should be authorized and empowered to make all necessary investigations at the home of the applicant.
 "A. That in all cases where resi- dents of Alaska are required to leave the Territory for business or other reasons, intending to return home within reasonable time and their identification has been properly es- abolished to the satisfaction of the Alaska Defense Command, that round trip permits be issued In Alaska at the point of departure, so that. there will be no necessity of obtaining separate permit to return"

AVIATION TO BE MEANS OF DEVELOPMENT
PAA Official Declares Flu. lure of Alaska 10 Be
 Greatly Aided

Aviation will play an increas- ingly important part in the devel- opment of Alaska in the future, !" Royal sundell, Division Engineer for the Western Division of Pan American AIwaYs, said today. Tn my opinion it IS more than pos sible that Alaska will skip the intervening stages of transporta- ton facilities and jump, practically from the dog team to aviation as q means of travel in most parts of the Territory" he declared.
 MT. sundell has been in Juneau for the last week on his way south after completing a threc-weelI in- spection trip through Alaska look ing over PAA stations with regard to future ground facilities for the Alaska system. N. H. McDowell. superintendent of maintenance for PA, Alaska Division, is accom- panyins MT. Sundell on his present trip and together they have visited Fairbanks, Nome, Fort Yukon, Circle and Juneau.
 Aviation To Grow
 T feel that. aviation will really just begin to come into it's own, following the present war and with increased aviation aids, including airfields and radio facilities not now in general use this will mean a great deal to Alaska where there is urgent need of improved trans portation," MT. Sundell said
 Tt is only in the last two years that the general public overcame it's hesitancy to use the airplane commonly as a means of travel. At the end of the war so many fami- lies throughout the country will be represented in the greatly expand ed air corps that any remaining unfamiliarity with flying as safe means of travel will be eliminated" he declared
 In Aviation 25 Years
 MT. Sundell took up aviation dur ing the last World War and has been actively engaged in it for the past twenty-five years. Among his early acquaintances among such well known figures as Jimmy Doo- little and Ira Baker who were his tentmates during World War I.
 Immediately after the close of the last war. MT. Sundell went to the Philippines for several years after which he spent year trav- cling through the East Indies, Asia and Europe on his return to the United States. He became associ- ated with Pan American Airways when the company had but two planes operating, in 1928, and has been with the company during its rapid expansion since.
 
 Big Division Created
 The Division for which MT. Sun dell is Chief Engineer has head quarters in Brownsville, Texas, and includes all of Mexico, Central America, Panama and the north ern section of South America.
 Il to Alaska. though he said he hoped it would not be his last. Flying over Alaska is somewhat similar to flying over mountainous South America, though the glaciers and rugged crags Of the Territory are utterly unique, he declared.

Most of the men joined the bat
talon shortly after Pearl Harbor.
Some, already in the Army, took
demotions to get to be parachute
fighters.
They add potent unit to the
American striking power in Britain,
greatly bolstered by the recent ar
rival Of many big conveys, which
was announced today.
1t is not known whether the
American parachute units will be
saved to form a spearhead for an
eventual invasion of the continent
or will be used, as British parachut-
lists have been, on Commando raids
such as the attack on Bruneval,

the parachute soldiers race over a
specially constructed assault course
Capt. C. C. Alden of Buffalo, N. Y.
the medical officer, disclosed that
there is less than l per cent of acci-
dents on jumps, even including SIM
pie sprains.
The Jumpers use two parachutes
one a static line Chute which is
supposed to open as the trooper
leaves the plane and second one
on his chest. The jumper is sup
posed to count, "one thousand, two
thousand, three thousand" before
opening his second chute but Pvt.
Louis Homoki of Richmond, Va,
says:
II never knew any one who
counted as far as three thousand.
Anyway, from operational height
the first ones got to open"
Jumpers used to pack their own
parachutes but now they have skilled
riggers under Sergt. C. McLaney of
Hartford, Ala, who do it. If the
jumper does not like the way his
chute is packed he may demand
that the rigger jump with it.

Thousands of American troops
have arrived in Britain recently.
While they have been whisked

They came in a typical convoy of

disembarked at number of British
ports.
The crossing of the Atlantic was
made swiftly and not single Ger

CuttIemen Fear
Reduction in
Beef Output
BY the Associated Press.


FORT WORTH, Tex, Sept ID
President Claude K. McCan of the
Texas and Southwestern Cattle
Rasers' Association said today
cattlemen were disturbed over the re-
duction of beef production in the
United States.
McCan, here for directors meet
ing of his association, said there is
10 per cent less cattle on the feed
lots than there was year ago, yet
the number of cattle on ranges
has reached an all-time high mark
of 100000 animals"
THE industry is not going to take
the responsibility for the reduction
in beef production" he said. THAT
responsibility belongs in Washing
ton because of the intolerable CELL
ings placed on meat which dis
rupted the jacking industry.
Ceilings fell down because the
industry could not operate under
them and it was case of &c
broke or evade the ceilings"

Paper Chiefs Weigh
Conservation Of Men
|And Materials
Manufacturers Confer
| On Program to Meet
Wartime Needs
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.-The
paper manufacturing industry is
considering steps which may be
taken to conserve manpower and
materials as part of the War Pro-
ductlon Boards plans to concen-
trate civilian industry, it was
learned today.
A committee of paper executives
discussed the situation at the Offices
of the American Paper and Pulp
Association yesterday, in what a
spokesman said was an effort to
develop 1.-The most constructive ap-
proach." The discussion was under
stood to be a preliminary and ex-
ploratory nature.
The War Production Board in
Washington has not disclosed any
plan for curtailment or concen-
tration of the paper industry. Thus
far, the chief manpower shortage
has developed in the Pacific North
west, where shortage of logs for
making woodpulp is anticipated.
The industry in the United
States is currently operating at
about 80 per cent of capacity. Pro-
duction in 1941 amounted to more
than 100000 tons, of which
nearly half was paper board. used
for boxes, containers and other pur-
poses
Newsprint production in the
| United States amounted to only
about 6 per cent of last years paper
tonnage. Nearly three-quarters oil
United States newsprint consump-
ton comes from Canada, where q
plan has already been announced
to concentrate production in mills
which will cause the least drain
on electricity and manpower needed
in war production. Canadian au.
thorities expect to be able to meet
newsprint demands, at least fol
some time to come.
