indicated that Krug planned nc
immediate steps to bring mine

negotiations, looking toward a re-
turn of the government-selzed
mines to private ownership. Krug
took over the strike-bound pits

59.day walkout by the miners and
the Krug-Lewis agreement went
into effect as a work contract.
Krug's aides declared the iniiia-
tive could be taken by the opera
tors or Lewis for a g~et-together,
without governmental prodding.
Lewis action today, reversing
his usual tactics of waiting till
the last minute. came a week be-
fore he was required by. Supreme
court order to call off his notice
ending the agreement under which
the mines have been operating.
By yielding, he saved his union

by District Court Judge T.
Alan Goldsborough last Dec. 5
when Lewis and the union were
of contempt Of court for
refusing to obey Goldsborough's
anti-str1ke injunction. The Su-
preme court upheld the contempt
convictions along with a $4,000
personal fine against Lewis, but
ruled that the union fine be reduc-
ed to $500, 900 providing Lewis
withdrew his Notwithstanding

Alaska Is Strong Cornerstone In U. s. Defense

SEATTLE, -(P)-Satisfied that Alaska is now a strong corner stone in Americas defense, Sena- tor Harry P. Cain, R-WashO flew back to Seattle Saturday night after a l0-day tour of the Territory.
 "Alaskans do not feel they are being let down. I was amazed at the vast amount of construction work completed and under way, and the morale of our troops there is as fine as I have seen any where" the Senator said. Cain himself spent three years over seas in the paratrooperS.
 Cain, responsible for pushing the so-called TongaSs Alaska for est bill through congress in the last hour of its sessions in Wash ington, expressed confidence measures of the bill would greatly ease American newsprint prob lems.
 Under terms of the measure, the government would open vir- tually all the vast timber tracts of southeastern Alaska to private production of newsprint.
 Alaskan forests have a pot ential of 100000 tons of news print annually and I am confi- dent that this new industry can be built up without endangering Alaska's main industry, its fish cries." Cain said.
 Talks with Alaskan spokesmen from all branches of government and industry, the senator said, that dangers to the fishing indus try from pulp fluid and logs in streams can be averted.
 Furthermore the trip convinc- ed me that by proper use of an 80-year plan cycle of selective logging, there is no danger that this huge natural resource will be wasted. Instead, at the end of 80 years Alaskan timber re- sources will be greater than they are today" Cain said
 
 The United States, Cain said now buys 80 percent of its news print outside it's continental boundaries.
