sEATTLE-The case for a land route to Alaska from the Pacific Northwest will be presented before the Pacific Coast section of the Council of State Governments, meeting at Portland today, by the Alaska Highway Committee of the Governors Advisory Commission on progress and industry development, Kemper Freeman, committee mem Der said.
 Reason why early construction of a road west of the Rockies to AL aska is important to all Pacific Coast states will be given by Don aid Mcdonald, committeeman and former Alaska member of the Alas ka International Highway Commis- sion named by the late President Roosevelt.
 The Northwest took it on the chin by not being united and on the job when the Army Alcan route was chosen" Committee Chairman Kirby Billingsley of Wenatchee, said. That is all the more reason why the Pacific Coast states and British Columbia should unite for a genuine highway now"
