CL0USE INFORMS
 JUNEAU CHAMBER
 ON CHICAGO TRIP

Milo Clouse, president of the Territorial SportSmans Association, Inc. told the Juneau Chamber of Commerce today about his recent trip to Chicago and Seattle in the interests of attracting tourists to Juneau and the Territory. He told the Chamber that no additional ships will he put into Alaska ser vice nor more hotels and lodges will be built until a sufficient demand is created. We will create that demand" he said
 Clouse told of his jeep drive over the Alaska Highway from Whitehorse to Chicago with Buck Harris. also of Juneau, who has not vet returned. He described the extreme 60 below zero tempera- lures and the difficulties faced in driving. He told of being forced to pour a bottle of Scotch whis- key into the gasoline tank in order to keep the gasoline from freez- ing.
 He said they drove 18oO miles with only four hours sleep in order to make up for time lost in get t-ng started.
 Publicity received in Chicago as a result of their trip and their Alaska booth at the Chicago out door show was immense, declared Clouse
 He said that the idea of furnish ing Alaskan food at dinner for the Outdoor Writers Association of America started a chain of pub licity and advertising which is still rolling. The dinner, given by the Outboard Motor Club of America, featured Alaska king salmon, Petersburg shrimp and sheefish from Kotzebue. He said that this feature probably accomplished more than the show. itself. Over 300 prominent persons attended the dinner
 As a result of newspaper pho tographs and publicity and radio broadcasts, Clouse said that he and Harris were almost swamped at the show for information on Alaska and the highway. He said that he couldn't avoid talking about the highway because of the large interest in it. but that 70 per- cent of these he talked to, would drive over the Highway to Haines then ship their cars to Seattle with a stopover at Juneau.
 Harris, said Clouse, remained in Chicago to show their films and is still exhibiting them in various communities. A big demand has been created for them, he said, all over the country. Harris will re- turn next week
