 Plane Ruling
Protests Exemption of "A Alaska Air Operators
 on Certificate Issue

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-lR-Pan American opposed yesterday pro- posal by the Civil Aeronautics Board to exempt A Alaskan air operators rom provisions of the law so that they can operate without certiti-
 ate between Alaska and Seattle, Wash.
 Citing figures to show non-certi- iicatsd carriers had operated an av- craze of six trips day between Seattle and Alaska during August, Pan American said such diversion by unregulated carriers caused $2,- C0oCC00 loss on it's United States Alaska route during the first ten months of 19z7
 The airline's brief said the Boards proposal is illegal, and added that it represented "condoning a bad sit uation rather than rectifying it."

Pamphlet on Farming Lands Available Near Anchorage Received

Public land in the Anchorage area suitable for general farming totals l6,314 acres, while an additional 19,- 630 acres are suitable for grazing and for limited forage crop produc- tion, according to a report just pulp hshed by the Bureau of Land Man, agement.
 The 27-page report, announced by Secretary of the Interior J. A. Krug as the first in a series dealing with various sections of the Territory, is entitled Agricultural Settlement Opportunities in Alaska: Anchorage Area
 A colored map included in the report shows the area surveyed to include about 100 townships eXtend- ing from Points Woronzof and Campbell on Cook Inlet and from Ship Greek on the north of the foothills of the Chugach Mountains eight miles cast of Anchorage and ten miles south of the city.
 Interspersed with the farming and grazing areas are 24,S56 acres classi- fled as too wet or too rough and broken for agricultural use. A large part of the agriculturally suitable land also is included in military re- servations and is not at this time available for settlement, according to the report.
 While the Anchorage area is de- clared to be not as suitable physical | ly for major agricultural develop ment as the Matanuska Valley, Tan ana Valley, and Kenai Peninsula the report concludes that "agri- cultural production may be expend- ed greatly in the region before it will equal the demand Of the civilian population"
 The report, copies of which have been received by the Alaska Devel- opment Board, includes data on location, physiography, drainage, e. rosion, precipitation, temperture growing season, sunshine, winds vegetation, soils, natural resources history of settlement, City of An chorage, transportation and com munication, present farming, suita- tility of the land, availability of the land, farm markets, etc. An appen- dix shows mileages, travel time transportation costs and retail prices in the Anchorage area.

NAVY NOT PREPARED TO WIN ANY WAR

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA IR-The Navys top officer, Admiral Louis Denfeld, says that the Navy at pre- sent is too short of men and ships to win war
 Denfeld, the new Chief of Naval operations, added that the Navy would have to expand tenfold and in a hurry, to prevail in an all-out conflict
 Admiral Denfeld set forth his views in a script prepared for a broadcast. If war were suddenly to involve the United States, said Den field, the Atlantic and Pacific fleets could keep the enemy from United States shores. But" he added, ito control the seas, to protect our vi- tsl commerce and to win a war that is another matter"
 Denfeld said that there are about 300 combat ships available for inn mediate service.

 For Pulp Mills
 Efforts to bring pulp mills to the Tongass Forest were continued and important steps taken during the year to expedite the establishment of this important industry. The Re- gional Forester spent two months in Washington and other cities of the country largely on pulp mill busi- ness, and during that time contracts were prepared and sale advertise ments started for cutting rights on the National Forests for two large pulptimber units, each embracing l. sec 100000 cubic feet of timber and covering a cutting period of 30 years. One unit is located in the vicinity of Petersburg and the other near Kstchih an. The sale advertisements were placed in national trade publi- cations and local newspapers. Bids on the two sales are to be consid- cred on February Is and April l4 respectively.
 Private Party Permits
 The use Of National Forest land by private parties continues to in- crease. Three hundred sixty-five special use permits were issued dur ing the fiscal year ended June 30, l947, and the total number in ef- feet was 1490, of which over 400 are free of charge The total area in use by permitteeS is over 83,000 acres. The most popular class of use is as residences and summer homes, 513 such permits being in effect. Home sites follow with 231 permits. Hun dreds of tracts for homesites, can naries, resorts, sawmills, homesteads and other forms of land use have been eliminated from the National Forests by the Forest Service to pemit them to be patented by the former permittees
 Groups OJ HomeSitcS
 Groups of homesites are laid out in the vicinity of cities and towns and in advance of demand. Spur roads are then constructed by the Service to serve these groups. Two such roads were built in 1947, one of 1.3 miles at Point Higgins near Ketchikan, and the other of II miles on Mendenhall Peninsula at Juneau. These roads uill open lands for 75 new homesites. No funds for new construction work on the Ma tional Forest Highway system were made available to the Forest Service by Congress in 1947. but sufficient allotments for such funds are ex- pected early in 1948 to permit of re- placing the bridge on the loop road near Mendenhall Glacier which has cen closed for some time as un- safe; also for reconditioning the DOT ton of the Tongass Highway be- yond Bugge Beach south of Ketchi- kan. Funds for the redecking of the Douglas Bridge are also expected to be made available soon.

 Largest Sale to JSC
 The largest sale of the past year was made to the Juneau Spruce Corporation and covered 128 million feet of timber on Kosciusko Island A valuable stand of Sitka spruce had become infested with a species oi bark teetle, and salvage operations were necessary. The contract calls for completion of logging within six years Logging activities on the two National Forests furnished employ ment to an estimated 800 men in the woods, divided among 47 camps. Ten sawmills employed an addition al 400 men. The largest mill at the present time is the Juneau Spruce Corporation which operates two shifts and cuts l80,000 feet of lum- Der daily.
 The shipment of logs from the National Forests of Alaska for man. ufacture outside the Territory is prohibited except for special pur- poses. Two rafts containing one million feet of mixed hemlock and spruce logs were allowed to be ship ped to Bellingham, Wash, last year as experimental material to deter mine the pulping qualities of Al aska woods. The resulting products were found to be highly satisfactory telephone poles were also shipped from Wrangell to the extent of 50,- 900 linear feet to determine the feasibility of building up a market
