Public Land
 In Alaska Is Released

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-(P)- The government is releasing l8,- 64O,OOO acres of public land in Alaska for private development under federal mining and leasing laws, the Interior Department an- nounced today.
 The action, the Department said, is being announced also in Alaska by Secretary of the Interior J. A. Krug, who is making his first of- ficial visit to the Territory. A statement by Krug released here said:
 "I am particularly glad to an- nounce the restoration of these land areas to public use because it affords complete refutation of the charge that the federal gov ernment is seeking to prevent the development of Alaska by pri- vate enterprise. The restoration of these large areas to the public domain status, coupled with the program for the release of more than l8,0O0,000 acres of land along the Alaska Highway for private development clearly shows the trend of government policy with respect to home rule in Alaska" !"
 The land included 15,600, ,000
The Nome nugget., 1946-08-16

acres in the Katalla-W -Wakatago re- zion.
 These lands, together with about 48,800,000 acres in Northern Alas ka, were withdrawn from public use in January, 1943, as part of the governments program for the development of possible petrol cum supplies for the armed forces in that territory. The land in northern Alaska is not being re- leased at this time for public dew elopment. Krug said oil explor- ation work being carried cut there warrants the retention of restric- tions in that zone.

MEET

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Is, -LP In an atmosphere of nostalgia and tall-tales, the International Sourdoughs of the Klondike gath cred yesterday for a four-day re- union-their first since 1922 in Seattle.
 Approximately 1900 persons directly or indirectly connected with the gold rush to Alaska half century ago are in attendance.
 Old-timer D. E. Griffith of Se- attle is one of those who feels keenly about this first postwar get-together.
 In a prepared written state ment he said:
 We Sourdoughs have been homesick for this reunion for four long years. We feel like apolo- gizing for turning back the pages of history 50 years, but we enjoy getting away, even for a day or two, from the sWamps of selfish ness and greed-from the wild erneSs of political strife"
 Griffith drove a dog team be- tween Skagway and Nome in 1900.
 We're glad to reach back into the land of human sunshine" he went on, "where a mans word was his bond; where his greeting was genuine-Where you didn't nave to count your fingers after a hand shake and where a man received the full benefit of his initiat;ve."
 Up there in the north" he reminisced, we were not logged in political duplicity. We were a free lot of men and women who fought their way out of a world of economic depression to land of golden opportunity. And we didn't thumb our way-we went the hard way"
 Now we're here to swap yarns and relive the robust days of vir- ile youth and renew never be forgotten friendships"
 If there are any "whoppers" told at the convention, he added, you must bear with us, for while we are growing old and may be childish, we glory in the fact we can still laugh and sing and drink and be ready for the next big stampede"

face an aggressive opponent is by a
