DEDERER POINTS NEED OF CLOSER
 TIES IN ALASKA

Meeting with members of the Executive Board of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce, yesterday afternoon at the Baranof Hotel, Michael Dederer, Chairman of the Alaska Committee of the Seattle C-of-C, pleaded for closer cooper ation, not only between his own Chamber and the individual Alaska groups, but especially among the Alaska Chambers themselves.

 He also disclosed that the Se- attle Chamber is determined to ex- pand its Alaska section and con- centrate more closely upon it's AL aska relations. MT. Dederer was to leave here today.

dinner served In dining room of

duced as speaker. Lieut.. Governor
Vernon J. Brown.
Inviting questions for general
discussion. Mr.. Brown outlined
some of the major problems Of
state economics ana emphasized
the need for improved plans for
support OF state institutions. par.
ticularly schools and colleges.
While In one area a two mill tax
will yield the equivalent of SOS for
each child OF school age, similar
tax In poorer areas OF the state VIII
yield only 81 per pupil. Mr.. Brown
pointed out. The question. how
ever, he said, Is not SO much the
amount Of money to be raised as ii
is the way II is distributed. Bet
ting at one race track in a season
amounts to more than has been in
vested In state buildings in ten
years, and for liquor $500 600, 900
