Alaska Looking Forward To Era Of Prosperity

AlaSka'S industries of tomorrow are looking forward toward a more stable, prosperous and progressive era than the Territory has ever ~nown, according to George Sund- bog, general manager of the Alas ka Development Board, who re- turned to Seattle on his way to Juneau this week from 20 days of conferences with industrial and trade prospects on the Pacific Coast.
 Everywhere l found business leaders with Alaska development intentions counting on statehood and the changes which Self-gov- ernment, year-round industry and larger population will bring" Sundborg said.
 He mentioned that several West Coast pulp and paper groups which are actively figuring on Alaska operations now include in their long-term payout plans al loWanceS for Alaska taxation more or less in line with that prevailing generally in the Seates, and say

Texan Wants
 Alaska Broken Up

WASHINGTON, R)-Thirteen- year-old Nancy Huval of Pampa, Texas, wants Alaska divided so it can never become larger state than Texas.
 Miss Huval wrote President Tru- man:
 We like our state and we are all very proud of it.
 Lately l have been reading old newspaper clippings about Alaska becoming a state. Is it true?
 "I don't mind this at all, but please, sir, if Alaska must come into the Union would you mind cutting it up into states? l ask this because Texas just has to re- main the largest in the Union"
 The letter was referred to h. terior Department. Miss Huval (who lives at 436 North Ballard, Pampa) was a little out of Texas character when she recognized that Alaska is large, but that is the fact: Alaska, 586,400 scquare miles; Texas, 267 ,339 square miles

 Tt was encouraging too to find that these concerns recognize that the fishing industry in Alaska must not be made to decline as other activities advance" Sund- borg declared. He said the pulp prospects were being careful to provide in original designs provi- sions for eliminating any pollution danger to fish or other aquatic life from sulfite liquor or other wastes.
 Sundborg met with pulp and pa per officials in San Francisco and Los Angeles. He found their plans for early operation in Alaska shap- ing up steadily, he said. The De- Velopment Board head also partici- pated in hearings and discussions at Seattle on water transportation to Alaska, explored Alaska trade possibilities with business leaders at Portland, met with the new Alaska Development Committee of the Governors Advisory Commis- sion of the State of Washington, and consulted with numerous in dustrial contacts of the Alaska De- velopment Board up and down the coast.

Reason for this is that "Finian's
Rainbow" and 'Brigadoon" have
been handed unusually high praise
both artistically and as just plain
entertainment. Each is an excel

chances usually are rather slim
that a tune show will get the nod,
considerable feeling has been reg

Many feel that "Oklahoma!:'
