Fertile Alaska, Last US. Frontier,
Attracts Thousands of War Veterans
~ DOUGLAS LARSEN

WASHINGTON - Thousands
Of discharged veterans. fed up
with strikes. reconversion con-
fusion and the complexities Of
civilian lie In the United States,
are heading for Alaska In IN af-
tempt to find . simpler exist
ence for themselves and their
families on the last U. 3. from
tier.
Hundreds have already arriv-
ed there. Alaslan officials re-
port. Many have found work or
are setting up small businesses,
but some are finding the going
pretty rugged.
Approximately $4,000 Of the
men who were on duty In Alas
ka with the Army and Navy
have said they plan to return.
Most Of them are now making
definite plans to do -. according
to Z. L. Bartlett, Alaska dele

other servicemen who have new

ern territory.
ed their intention of giving Alas
ka try.
Officials are worried that the
economy of the territory won't
be able to stand the strain Of
the great influx. Already there
is housing shortage more acute
than in most u. S. cities. Ex-
perts believe that between 5000
and 10000 persons are the max
imum that could be absorbed per
year without making life in
Alaska chaotic.
HARD WORK
About 80 per cent of those
who are already in Alaska or on
the way, have the stuff to carve
out q decent existence for them
selves and make a success of it.
Most of the men who were sta
toned there during the war -
some have asked to be discharg-
ed there - are expected to do
all right. They know what the
life is like and what the prob
lens are.
To those who look upon It as
glamorous adventure, a chance
to explore the frontier, Alaska
officials give the following ad-
vice:
Daily wages are about Is per
cent higher than in the U. S.,
but because most of the work Is
seasonal like placer mining and
fishing) annual wages are low
and prices are extremely high.
With the remote exception Of
making a rich gold strike, there
is practically no chance to "get
rich quick" It usually takes
hard, long hours of manual la
Dor to make a decent living.
Anyone coming to Alaska
without a definite job or fl
nances to start specific busi-
ness should have at least $25OO
to tide him over possible unem-
ployment, and for fare home If
he decides to leave.
On the other hand il is point
ed out that many opportunities
do exist in Alaska. There is
enough wood in Alaska forests
to supply Is per cent of Amer
ica's wood pulp needs. Plans are
already under way to start paper
pulp factories there. The fishing
industry offers many opportuni-
ties for small canneries to be
started. Small wood working
plants. mercantile stores and
service industries are needed in
all the cities of the territory.
,Servicemen who have been
stationed there know that Alas
ka offers the same variation of
Climate as most Of the northern
United States. Most parts have
weather which makes for health
and vigor. Other sections are
damp or extremely hot in the
summer.

FIRE DAMAGES
AVERY INSTITUTE.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Mar. 81
(ANP)-A two-alarm fire of unde-
termined origin destroyed much Of
the main building at historic Avery
institute here. The blaze was dis
covered by a resident near the
school after it had begun to roar
through the second floor.
Firemen said the blaze began in
the basement of the building and
had burned some time before dis
covery. Practically all of the base
ment was destroyed, the office di-
rectly above that section, damaged
classrooms on the same floor as the
office and rendered much of the
building unusable. The cooperative
store and a store room in the base
ment were consumed.
S. I. Washington, director at
Avery, said classes would be divided
between the usable portion of the
building and Morris Street Baptist
church until repairs could be made.

BOSTON, Mar. FL ANP)-Pro-
fessional baseball on Sunday in this
city depends upon whether or not
the Red Sox and Braves are issued
licenses by the city council. This
year, one councilman points out
that Negroes are not permitted to
play and because of this, he is op-
posed to granting a license to the
two major league teams. In letter
to Owner Yawkey of the Red Sox
and General Managel Quinn of the
Braves, Aid. Muchnick said:
1T is my understanding that de-
spite an aroused public opinion and
pending legislation for fair employ
ment practices, the practice of dis
elimination against Negro ball
players will prevail. l cannot under
stand how baseball, which claims
to be the national sport and which
in my opinion receives special fa-
vors and dispensations from the
federal government because of the
alleged morale value can continue
a pre-Civil War attitude toward fell
low American citizens because of
the color of their skin"
