 Several other pulp interests are planning to bid for government tih- Der soon," Krug said.
 "I predict that shortly all five oi the preferred pulp mill sites in Southeast Alaska will be taken
 Action of the Ketchikan Pulp and Paper CO. should serve to aliay any fears which other pulp manu- lecturers may have entertained about possible obstacles to develop ment in Alaska of this vital indus try: :.
 "Signine of the contract is one Of the most enoourgaging Alaskan de- ,,.lor,rants in many decades. It in- augurated the pulp industry in Alaska"
 Krug said that when the various proposed pulp mills are cQpstTQcted, ], Southeast Alaska's population VIII be doubled.
 In addition of a population of &C., GOO, he said, Southeast Alaska will benefit from a year-round manu- featuring activity that will keep fleet of ocean freighters in regular trade with the continental U. S. Krug said the contract signing demonstrates that private industry can make use of publicly owned raw material in accord with sound conservation practices.
 Tt also shows that the govern ment wants development by private industry for the long-run benefit of the people of Alaska and the U. S rather than preservation for pos sible future use of a few.

} Western Power Envoys Talk with Premier; May
 Ease Tension Of Cold War
lBy The Associated Pressl

The buoyancy of the three Western Power envoys as they emerged from their long talk with Stalin in the Kremlin raised hope yesterday the Russians might ease the cold war tension between the West and East.
 The U. s. and French Ambassa- dors and a special envoy of Britt ain talked with the Soviet Prime Minister two and quarter hours last night. They came out snlil- ing and in good spirits. Stalin gave them more time than he ever has before to foreign diplomats. Foreign Minister Molotov also was present.
 Walter Bedell Smith of the U. S., Frank Roberts of Britain and Yves Chataigneau of France went immediately to the American Em- bassy for another conference. They rushed up three flights of stairs without awaiting the elevator. Smith, after laughing banter. said:
 "Generalissimo Stalin and Mir. Molotov received us all at meet ing. There probably will be communique to that effect tonight"
 The communique was devoid of news. The Western Power Capitols were silent lest premature talk ruin future prospects.
 What Stalin Is Told
 The feeling was general that the Ambassadors told Stalin something like this:
 The United States, Britain and France desire deeply to cooperate with Russia on a reasonable. friend- ly basis. Cooperation works both ways. The governments of the Western Powers will not be intimi- dated. Berlin is Four Power city, and Russia may not have control of 1t short of war. The Russian land blockade there must be lifted before any talks about solving other differences over Ger many, Austria, China. Japan. Kor- ca, Trieste and the like.
 Cautious optimism prevailed in London. But there was caution against wishful thinking and false hope.
 BERLIN-Tension continued in Berlin. The Moscow radio kept drumming hate against the West and the multi-billion dollar Mar shall Plan. The official Russian newspaper in Berlin asserted the Russians alone fulfilled the Pots- dam agreement and demanded that all Germany be modelled after the Russian Zone; that Is, turned over to the Communists.
 German civilians stoned Rus sian secret police who pursued black market operator over the British line in Berlin. Soviet sec- tor police were arresting on. sight police of the Western Zone who op- erated under the successor to the Communist trained police chief the city government fired.
 The air lift supplying of Berlin continued. The U. 8. Air Force took in 40,4ll tons of food and supplies last month and the Brit ish were not far behind The ex- pense was enormous and coal movements were trickle. The British American Zone signed trade agreement with Holland.
 The Stalin talks last night may lead to a Four-Power conference and to an immediate lifting of the blockade. necessary prelude to the talks. It might even lead to later Stalin- Truman -Attlee- Marie meeting.

Announce Fishing Regulations

JUNEAU, (P)-The U. s. Fish and Wildlife service notified the Alaska native service and the Alaska salmon industry that no spring fishing will be permitted in the Karluk district unless the es- capement of red salmon is suffi- cient to warrant it.
 Frank HyneS of the regional of flee of the service said he will not be swayed from efforts to rehabil- itate the fishing district which, he said, is "potentially one of the most valuable in Alaska"
 He advised fishing interests to be prepared for greatly curtailed operations in the area.
 The district is scheduled to be opened from July p to Aug. 14 for an expected good run of pink salmon. The season is subject tO modification by the U. s. Wildlife service, however, depending on the number of reds taken at the same time and also on the condi, ton of the pinks.

No Bidders For Alaska Timber

WASHINGTON (P)-A govern ment dream of a vast paper and timber industry in Alaska appar- enly is doomed to remain a dream a while longer.
 A year ago the U. s. forest serv- ice took steps to make it come true. Ii was influenced by a short age of paper and timber products in this country-and by desire to help develop Alaska.
 It said Alaska's forests could provide 25 per cent of this coun- try's annual newsprint needs. And it offered to sell three billion cubic feet of Alaska national forest tim Der for forestry products.
 Buyers were required to put up modern pulp and paper mills which would have cost upwards of S60,000,000. The prospective mil runners also were required to es- tablish modern town sites for workers families.
 But no acceptable offers were received when the time for placing bids on one timber lot expired late in the year, so the time was ex- tended on this lot until last week Again the timber went begging.
 Auction of a second lot is set fol Monday, March 29, but forestry officials have little hope of suit.

able offer.

able offer.
 Among other reasons, native 1n- dian claims to the timber have dis couraged buyers. The forest serV- ice had planned to hold the sales funds until such claims could be settled. But some interested bid ders were said to be afraid this plan might not protect them fully. A move is now being pressed in Congress to have those claims set tied by law.
 Such a law, forestry officials say, might make the Alaska dream come true.

 Ten men have filed for the three council seats having two-year terms, and II seek the three posi- tions with one-year terms.
 A complete new council will be elected as the result of the recent resignation of all counci l m n whose terms extended for another year. The legality of their election last year has been contested by the U. s. district attorney on the grounds that number of voters were not legally registered. At the time they resigned, the councilmen said their action was taken "in or der not to prejudice the city's de- velopment."

Military Asks Fast Expansion Of
 Armed Services

WASHINGTON, (H) - The na- tion's top military leaders asked Congress yesterday for an imme- diate expaSion of the armed serv- ices and the drafting of men l9 to 25 of age.
 Secretary of defense Forrestal grimly outlined the recent turn of world events in urging steps to make United States military might match that of communist Russia.
 As Forrestal spoke before the Senate armed service committee, President Truman announced he is preparing to give Congress a revised defense program.
 MT. Truman told his news con- ference he can't estimate yet how many additional billions of dol lars the program will cost. Estim- ateS from the defense department have not yet reached him, he said.
 Forrestal said the odds still fla vor peace and the free nations of the world.
 But he asked Congress to ap- prove immediately:
 1. An increase in the present authorizaed strength of army, navy, marine and air force man. power by 349,500 officers and men.
 3. Another three billion dollars in cash and contract authority for the armed services to cover this expansion. This presumably would be in addition to the eleven bill lions already in the budget.
 3. Drafting by selective service of men from 19 to 25 years inclu- sive. He said this would provide 1855 ,0O0 men but added that only about 22O,0O0 probably would be taken. He estimated 50O,OOO prob ably would volunteer.
 4. A permanent system of uni. versal military training which would become fully effective with. ing three years. Forrestal saic this would provide some 850,00( men each year with basic training
 Forrestal said some of the de tails of the expanded armed serv. ice program must be presented later behind closed doors"

OBITUARY OF
ALICE EDNA BANKS

Alice Edna Banks was born on
May 81, 1864, at Newbern, North
Carolina, the only child of Ar
thur and Mary Simmons. While
she was very young, her father
died. The mother then decided
to go North to take advantage
of better educational opportuni-
ties for the child and living con-
ditionS for both. They came to
Massachusetts,, first living in the
Town of Uxbridge. The best ira
ditions and customs of Massa-
chusettS and New England were
absorbed by her, and she soon
became an admirer of antiques
and old New England architec-
ture as exemplified in old Cam
bridge. The formal education of
Alice was necessarily meagre,
since she would not permit her
mother to bear alone the ardu-
GUS task of earning their daily
living. This lack was compensat-
ed for by her extensive reading
OF the best literature and by her
active interest in current affairs.
She reyered local authors such
as Henry Wordsworth Long
fellow and Louisa May Alcott.
Thus, Mrs. Banks was a re-
fined, genteel and educated
member of the different neigh
borhoods where she resided. For
instance, she was vice-president
OF the Parent Teacher Associa-
ton in the Phillips School dis
trlct OF the West End of Boston.
and was for many years presi-
dent of the Mothers Club Of
Robert Gould Shaw House in the
South End of Boston.
She married George T. Banks
at Cambridge, Massachusetts. on
July Is, 1885. This union was
blessed with eight children Of
whom five survive. So ingrained
were N. E. culture and education
into her very being, that she
deeply impressed it on her chill
dren. To her family she impart-
ed all that one could desire.
