1 IMPORTANCE OF ALASKA 5TRE55ED
 BY GEN. DIVERS

SAN FRANCISCO Feb. H. Alaska's vital importance in the defense of America was emphasized today by Gen. Jacob L. Devers, commanding General of U. s. Army Ground Forces
 Distances between Alaska and Eu- ropean points. are comparatively short, making the Northland prime strategic area for bases to intercept hostile guided missiles, and also as a point to launch drone planes and other robot weapons in counter offense, he said
 General Devers and Sir Hubert Wilkins, British Polar explorer. have arrived here after an inspection trip to Alaska and the Aleutians
 They had observed frigid weather tests by army units Of equipment for use in the north Both ex- pressed belief there is much to he done in the improvement of cloth ing and equipment which will be serviceable in the Arctic.
 Devers said Sir Hubert had Lee I assisting the U. S. Army quarter master corps in designing cold weather equipment, and had not gone to Alaska as representative Of the British government.
 Sir Hubert said he had been studying Alaska conditions for the U. s. Army since l942. He de- clined to discuss his assignment. explaining he was on classified fconfidential or secret duty and can't say much
 He is leaving for Washington to- day.

 SAYS PLAN
 FANTASTIC
Would Like to See Real Refuge for Europeans,
 But Not in Alaska

CHICAGO. Feb. 1l.-Secretary of the Interior Krug said last night that suggestions for settling from 2e000 to 2000,o00 displaced per sons of Central Europe in Alaska are fantastic and irresponsible.
 Krug, ill an address before the Inland Press Association. said such a settlement program would be "a disservice both to the immigrant Europeans, to the Alaskans now resident, and to the people Of the present 48 states
 T would like to see a real refuge provided for the suffering people of Europe" Krug said "tut it won't work in Alaska on scale of 100000 or 100000 more people. Perhaps 10000 to 10000 more per sons could be absorbed in various service and secondary jobs with present industrial and agricultural facilities
 Alaska has more than milk and honey to offer, but it's resources need the application Of labor and machines and tachnological and management skills. In practical terms, the only way we can in- crease the population of Alaska Is by the establishment of new busi- nssses. new farms. new industrial plants, new shows, and new stores
 Declaring that pulp and paper in- dustry in Alaska would require large supply of additional labor he added:
 Development oi the pulp and paper industry to a reasonable level of sustained capacity will result in year-around employment of minimum of 5000 persons i'll the mills and forests. Introduction of this working force into the Ter ritory would jump the population of Southeast Alaska from 25.000 to 50000 within few years.

ADB REPEAL CLEARS ITS
 15T HURDLE
Bill Held Off Senate Table Special Legislation
 Aired Again

Heading the Alaska Senate's cal endar for this morning was one of the most controversial measures of the Eighteenth session-Senate Bill 4, to repeal the act creating the Alaska Development Board.
 However, the more-than-usual numbers of galleryites were dis appointed as the bill whipped through second reading without amendment and with only an abor- tive attempt to lay it on the table. The move to table was offered by Senator Don Carlos Brownell, sec onded hy Senator Victor c. Rivers. In the voting, they picked up only Senator Frank Peratrovich, as the motion lost to 13.
 First reaction to the move to table came from Senator Edward D. Coffey, co-author with Senator Joe Green. Coffey declared he had anticipated some such move and only wanted to state his helief that the measure before the body de- served full hearing He said he had been informed that Senator N. R, Walker-who introduced the ori- ginal bill creating the Alaska Devel- opment Board wants to have ADB General Manager George Sundborg heard on $. B. 4. Walker agreed. adding: "Or anyone else
 Is True Bill
 Coffey said he believes the act to establish the ADB was very fine bill, but that it has been abused and has not accomplished it's pur- pose.' M
 Senator Charles D. Jones. agreed with Coffey that s. B. 4 should be thoroughly discussed. He suggested that a definite date for airing be set.
 Senator Brownell replied that his only thought in asking that s. B. 4 be tabled was that it's eonsidera- ton now is premature. T may be for the bill, later" he offered, but, would vote against it now
 Vote on the motion to table s. B. was the Senate's final action this morning. before recessing until ? o'clock this afternoon when House Bill 8, the fish trap referen- dunn measure, was to be up for amendment.
 Some Approval
 Previously the Senate had receiv- ed several additional bills and had heard read a number of wires and other communications in support of continued life for the Alaska De- velopment Board Most of the wires came from labor organizations, both AFL and CIO, but the group of communications also contained messages from the Ketchikan

Perpetual Production

We have cruised hundreds of thousands of acres, and believe Southeast Alaska could produce $500 tons of newsprint a day in perpetuity- more than one-fourth the rate of consumption in the United States.
 We estimate that a mill with a capacity of $50 tons of neWsprint day would cost s25,0O0o 900 to S30,- 100000, including the expense of power development We have the right species of timber and the necessary water power sites-a fine combination of raw materials, pow CT and water transportation"
 Heintzleman said the Forest Ser vice has surveyed all the good pow CT sites in Southeast Alaska and has found a dozen or more, with undeveloped capacity of more than 800.000 horsepower.
 "A newsprint mill requiring 10000 or 50,000 horsepower could develop two or three nearby power sites, in comparatively small units, without the need for any big power cor poration or development he de- clared.
 'The power sites are backed up by high hanging lakes and lend themselves to cheap development" ]"
 Perhaps the most logical mill sites would be the outskirts of ci- ties, so that the plants could take advantage of municipal facilities. Juneau may be said to have the biggest power site, but Ketchikan timber conditions might be better.
 "Sitka has beaut of site for small plant. Wrangell, Petersburg they all have their points. And in every case the forests are on the coast. The lumberman can log right into tidewater."
 Heintzleman said the Forest Ser vice would sell timber on a 50-year supply basis, to be paid for as it was cut. He estimated that it would take company at least two years to get into operation.

FORESTER IS PUSHING
 PULP PLANTS
Says Alaska Gould Produce $500 Tons of News
 print Every Day

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Alaska can produce one-fourth the news print the United States currently consumes, and the U. S Forest Ser vice is interested in helping her to do so Regional Forester Frank Heintzleman of Juneau said today
 Heintzleman told reporters he has temporarily cast aside his AL askan duties in order to peddle the pulp paper possibilities of the Ter ritory.
 T have spent 28 years up there, familiarizing myself with every phase of forest control, and I am convinced that Alaska pulp and paper mills could compete on a commercial basis with the mills of Canada, Newfoundland and other areas" the genial, 58-year old bach elor asserted.
 T have come to the states to present figures on labor costs, ship ping costs and other data to all in- terested parties. I'm going to stay here long enough to get some real action under way"
 Hentzleman said the Forest Ser vice is primarily interested in de- velopment of the 80,000, 900, 900 board feet of spruce, hemlock and other commercial timber in South east Alaska for pulp and paper purposes.
 At the same time,' he added we want to encourage other in- dustries, such as the plywood busi- ness.
 '"'e have e lot of timber, five and six feet in diameter, that could be used for plywood enterprises af- ter pulp development has been started. We also would have high grade saw logs and some cedar, for shingles.

Britain Won't brinu
Out Crown Gems for
Elizabeth S Weddinq
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Oct. 17.-Not even the
wedding of Princess Elizabeth can
lure Britain's crown jewels out of
the Tower OF London. They are
there to stay-until the next corona
ton, the keeper of the jewel house
disclosed today.
The jewels. which reposed in q
dungeon of Windsor Castle during
the war and were brought to secret
cache in London after the war. were
shown at a preview for the press
today behind the bars of an octag-
onal steel cage in Wakefield Tower,
their original home.
Next Monday the tower will be
opened to the public, with admis-
sion prices at 6 pence 90 cents, but
no cameras allowed.
1t. Col Terence Nugent, con-
troller of the Lord Chamberlain S
office, which is responsible for the
safety of the jewels, cleared up the
mystery today about the refusal to
permit photography in the jewel
tower.
I'VE feel very sad having to refuse
applications to take pictures" he
said. You may wonder why we are
cagey. If you took pictures you
might give something away about
the mechanism of the cage. Pho
Biography is impractical except by
taking the jewels out of the cage"
Col. Nugent said, however, that a
central agency soon would make
photographs and negatives would
be distributed to the press. Mega
tives of previous pictures were de-
stroyed by enemy action.
Col. Nugent, Col. H. Carkeet-
James, keeper of the jewel house" "
and A. c. Mann, director of Gar
rards, the crown jewelers., all re-
fused to disclose the secret hiding
place of the Jewels after they were
taken from Windsor Castle and be-
fore they were returned to the
tower.
I'VE don't know how soon we NAV
have to use it again." Col. Nugent
said.
