proposed to America by the
Secretary of the Interior
1T IS high time that we did something about
i settling Alaska
Ever since 1867 when we bought the terri
tory from Russia for the twitter of ST 100000,
we have gloated over what a smart bargain
it was and talked all about the wonders
we would some day accomplish when we
really got around to opening it up. However,
that day has never dawned, and it still is not
in sight.
Industry has MIXED Alaska like a docile
fat cow, it is true, and has succeeded in skim
ming off some $3,OOO,OOO,0OO worth of the
cream of the territory's natural wealth, none
of which the people of Alaska have reserved
for themselves. But for the most part, we
Americans have failed dismally to settle or
develop this rich territory, and we are still
failing to do so.
We are failing, although we need firmly
populated Alaska today more than ever be-
fore in our history. We could use its vast
natural resources to replace some that
we have expended so open -handedly
during the war. We need the. jobs that it
could provide for our veterans and former
war workers. We ought to have settled
Alaska at the coming crossroads of the air

ways of the world And our national defense
requires that it be developed and populated.
Obviously, the most desirable course would
be for Alaska to be developed and settled by
veterans and war workers. There is oppor-
tunity in Alaska for hardy adventurous
Americans who have the spirit of the pio-
neer. There are openings in Alaska for Ameri-
can venture capital
But the Federal Government must appro-
pirate substantial sums to prepare the way for
these people. The land of Alaska must be
classified. opportunities investigated, roads
built, and, in general steps must be taken to
assure that Americans who accepted the
challenge of Alaska would have reasonable
assurance of success.
But We Must Do More
lHIs program should go forward. The
Federal Government should invest the money
necessary to make Alaska reasonably attrac-
tive to American capital, to veterans and to
war workers.
We would, however, be deluding ourselves,
and taking an unreasonable risk with our
national security and with our economic in
terest in Alaska, if we did nothing more than
adopt program which rested upon the will
ingness of Americans to pioneer in Alaska.
What we must do to bring about the speedy
settlement of Alaska is the same thing that
our fathers did when they opened the West
We must fling open the doors of Alaska to

Bailing Out An Actor

r EW people know more about individual

instantly the credit standing of any one of
100000 New York shoppers, from Rookie

There are 1850 bureaus to

his record is good. it will be his open-sesame

Your credit record is as much a part of
you as your thumbprint, except for one thing:
it can be changed 1t can lose its value from
neglect or it can improve with care Keeping
changes in their credit ratings up-to date is a
major task of the bureaus. Relentlessly, they
clip every pertinent newspaper item, includ-
ing divorces, marriages and legal notices.
Lawsuits are investigated to see if judgments
are paid promptly. Any delinquency in charge
or time payments goes into the record and,
if persistent, is flashed as a warning to all

tons and delivers information one to four
times day at department stores and shops
A corps Of suburban investigators scours
outlying areas for facts on local residents
Constant communication with other bureaus
is maintained by telegraph
On the average person who pays his bills
promptly, the credit report is simple. In
code and cryptic abbreviation it tells how
long the credit data have been on file, how
many stores the man has dealt with, what
credit maximum he has been allowed, and
most important, how long it takes him to
pay. If unfavorable information is available,
it is carried in complete detail
Credit bureau members often ask for spe-
cial reports on an individuals business or
personal life. Often. his home and servants
are catalogued and even his employer is
rated on his financial stability. Personal
references are usually checked but not given
much importance. AS a rule, they are loyal
friends who can be depended upon to say
the right thing
Report on the Boy Friend
BUREAU members aren't solely interested
in ability to pay. Apartment-hous managers
frequently inquire about the personal habits
and social decorum Of prospective tenants,
including even such matters as the tendency
Of professional musicians to practice late at
night. Occasionally. cautious parents secure
report on prospective SON. or daughter
in-aw. Businessmen constantly want infor-
nation on people with whom they contemplate
partnerships. Real-estate statesmen use credit
reports to segregate worthwhile prospects,
And many junior executives have been
passed up for promotion because their
habitually slow payment of charge ac-
counts indicated. to their bosses, a lack
of administrative capacity.
By pooling information. the bureaus serve
as nationwide trap for sharing people who
skip town owing money. Unrelaxing vigilance
and careful appraisal have enabled them to
reduce credit losses, in normal times, to four
tenths of one per cent. Currently. the rate is
as low as one -thirtieth of one per cent of the
dollar volume.
Credit bureaus locate missing people, too,
such as husbands and wives who have gone
astray, or heirs to estates careless lawyer

agitation to move the minor

However Bramham was reluc-
tant to leave his Carolina home.
If the clubs should insist on
such a switch, Bramham prob
