Alaska Village Desires Name Crystal Falls

WASHINGTON, - CP) Two Alaskan packing companies asked the government to officially re- cogniZe Crystal Falls as the name for their 26-year-old community five miles south of Cordova.
 Lack of an official name, they said, has made it difficult for the settlement to get government per mitS for such installations as a radio-telephone system, and in other ways has hindered com munity development.
 The companies, Northern Lights Packing Co.,. and Crys al Falls Fishing Co.-informed the Board on Geographic Names that the community has been known throughout the territory as Crys- tai Falls during most of its ex- istence.
 The town is in the Chugach National Forest. The forest service has opposed recognition on the grounds that the settlement, like many Alaskan fishing camps, is seasonal and subject to abandon ment.
 Alaskan maps are cluttered up with names of too many camps that have been or will be aban- doned, foresters said.
 The names board put the case on it's calendar for next month.

Mr.. Murphy was a Republican
Governor, but later was Democratic

Mr.. Curley was asked whether
he plans to start move at the

tute Gen. Macarthur for Mr.. Tru-
man.

sary," he replied to reporter. 1.-THE
