 WASHINGTON (P)-Rep. Jack son D.-WashO, announced today ne and Rep. Herter R.-MaSsD, were introducing legislation to au- thorize the Maritime Commission to establish steamship service to Alaska through contracts with pri- vate ship operators.
 The commission has been operat- ing service to Alaska, with the steamship owners acting as its agents, but its authority expires February 28.
 The operators announced that if the lines were returned to them they would not operate them un- less given an increase in rates.
 Jackson and Herter, members of the House merchant marine com mittee, prepared their legislation after conferences with the owners and maritime commission experts.

Army Says Alaska
 Is Testing Ground

FORT KNOX, Ky. (A) - The United States is not pointing" at Russia or any other nation by staging army tests in Alaska, Gen. Jacob L. Devers, commander of the army ground forces, declared here.
 The general arrived at Fort Knox yesterday from Alaska, where he spent eight days inspect ing Arctic tests. He made rapid inspection of the universal mili- tary training experiment unit on his way to Washington.
 Devers said World War II gave the war department plenty of ex- perience in planning desert and hot-weather warfare, >"but we learned too little about fighting in extreme cold"
 He said the weather in Alaska tested everything from men and machines to guided missiles and wind-proof tents under the worst conditions.

Development
 Board Bill To Be Heard Thursday
By Mildred Hermann)

The Development Board bill is set for Thursdays consideration in the Senate. The retention of the board received a big boost yeSter- day in the large volume of letters and telegrams from Ketchikan and Juneau from individuals and or ganizations and urging that the bill calling for abolition be de- feated.
 So far no requests from your Di- vision, Fourth or Third. This makes it easy to swing legislators from those areas away from sup port and enable the First Division to show a solid front.
 Also a strong letter of endorse ment from former director Henry Clark, who pointed out the import .>nC2 of having a boards services at this time, and urged it's contin- uance.
 This answers contention of op- ponents being made here that Clark quit the board because he saw no need for the kind of work it was doing.
 Believe most Senators unfavor- able to retention of board. Believe bill providing for it's abolition will pass Senate, but be defeated m the House. Real fight will likely come when appropriation for it IS considered

SOIL CONSERVATION EssAY

Continued from Page Two)
they destroy the pasture, encoura-
ging soil erosion. Rotation of pas
lures would keep the grass in good
condition and give the grass a
chance to grow again. Good pas
ture land can be made out of eroded
land if you work hard enough.
Floods cannot always be stopped
and their results are serious. Trees
planted on steep slopes help to hold
the water. Contour cultivation, ter
race systems and strip cropping help
the rain to sink into the soil instead
of running down and taking the
top soil with it. This may not stop
all floods but it helps to prevent
some.
Another threat to the soil is fire
When fire burns trees the soil cover
is gone, so we must be very careful
about smoking in the forests, Not
only trees but the wildlife will
perish in fires. Fires are started
more often by some careless per-
son than by lightning, so when we
are out in the forest we must be
doubly sure to put out all fires
and be careful of matches and Gig
arettes.
When soil is conserved water is
also saved. Water held on the
ground and permitted to go down
through the soil means less water
rushing off the surface. It takes
several gallons of water to raise
anv crop.
Soil conservation is also impor
tant to the American standard Of
living. This may sound strange but
