 Stop Distribution
 The Chamber then requested Sundborg to stop further distri- button of the pamphlet and to recall all which have been dis tributed and asked him to write to the Wood Working Digest and correct the erroneous facts.
 surdborg was then permitted to give his reply to the Chambers charges. He declared that Juneau hardly noticed the closing of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mine despite contrary predictions.
 He sad that Gle paragraph about Juneau does s.oa accord with the facts that it does not represent my views" He argued, however that the pamphlet, as whole. contains much useful in- formation and had been assured by industry and government officials that it a good pamphlet.
 This one paragraph said Sund- borg, lis the only one which is offensive" He then read excerpts from the official ADB Bulletin on Juneau and from his book, "Op- portunity In Alaska which he said were to the contrary of the pamphlet.
 Denounces Empire
 Sundborg made several bitter de- nunciation concerning the Empire and the Juneau Chamber of Com merce. He said that someone else who had also read the article had declared that author Frank may have been referring to the Juneau Chamber and the Empire when he said that Juneau was hard to ap- proach. By this he meant that the two Jumps" the Empire and the Chamber were hard to get over.
 The ADB Consultant also declar- cd that the publicity, given by the Empire and the Chamber to the ar- ticle, were more damaging than the normal circulation of the pam phlet.
 Sundborg Apologies
 T apologize for the pamphlet" he said, it slipped by me in the ordinary run of business. A limited budget forced us to use reprint rather than seek an original article He then made several disparaging remarks concerning the Legislature which had cut his budget at its last session. He pointed out that other Territorial agencies also suffered and used the office of the Terri torial Vetinarian as an example.
 The statements are uncalled for and indefensive," declared Sund- borg, but the Chamber of Com merce has made worse statements. I'd say that Juneau had been treated shabbily."
 Sundborg concluded his state ments with the suggestion that Ju- neau begin now to nail down the State Capital here by donating the land. He declared that Juneau should remain the Capital but will lose unless the Chamber of Con- merce and other groups go after it.
 In rebuttal, Johnson pointed out that Juneau has overcome the pass ing of the A-J Mine by its own enterprise but that it does still miss the mine.
