contract authorization of S17,904,- eco.
 Included in the program, on which active work is going for ward, is the Turnagain Arm Road, a vital link of the through high way from Seward and the Kenai Peninsula to Anchorage and the main road system of the Territory For this project, funds were se- cured in the total amount of S11,- 37C,0o0, of which s7,370,ooO is in cash and S4,000,0O0 in contract au- thorization. This road is being constructed by the Public Roads Administration under an agreement Witll this Department. Obligations incurred since July l, 1948, amount to S4,449,63
 Other new roads now being built include the Kenai-Lake-Hom Road of which 39 miles have been cleared and 72 miles surfaced, and the Eagle-F Forty -Mile-Alaska High way Road on which 56 miles were cleared and 10 miles surfaced
 The road program now going ahead includes hard-surfacing the Richardson Highway. the Glenn Highway, and the Alaska Highway. Arrangements were made during 1948 to begin this work early in l949.
 Maintenance work Was performed on 2,575 miles ef road and on 30 miles of the Nome Tram Road.
 Public Lands
 Through the restoration to the public domain of thousands of ac- .res of land previously withdrawn for military purposes, revision of Department regulations governing entry on the public domain. and expansion of the land classifica- ton program, additional lands were made available for settlement and for business purposes, and land &C., quisition was made easier for the individual and for groups. Special legislation was secured to enable natives living within town limits to acquire unrestricted title to their property
 Industrial Development
 Dofipita r,ro0roce u,oc ,,,oao el,,.. ing 1948 with respect to the es- tahlishment of the pulp-paper in- dustry in Alaska. A contract was entered into between the Forest Service and private interests cov- ering the cutting of timber in the Tongass National Forest and the construction of a pulp mill near Ketchikan. Negotiations for a similar project near Sitka are in process and it may soon be possible Ito enter into a similar contract for the establishment of pulp mill in that area. These developments are bringing new industry into the Territory, one which will furn- ish employment to thousands of residents, both natives and whites.
 Aviation
 The Eightieth Congress made S13,500,000 available for the con- struction of major airfields at An- chcrage and Fairbanks. These are in addition to existing air fields. both military and civilian. This is a big step forward in aviation history in Alaska; one which plac- ed the Territory in the forefront of inter- national air transportation by providing for adequate facilit- ies along the main route to the Orient.
 l Health
 l. With the assistance of team of physicians from the American Medical Association which made a survey of Alaskas medical and health needs, and of the U. S. Public Health Service, a health program for Alaska was set up. Funds were secured from Congress for the construction of a hospital ifcr natives at Anchorage at a total

 Armed Forces
 Until system of world security Is established upon which we can safely rely" he said, Eve cannot escape the burden of creating and maintaining armed forces suffi- cient to deter aggression
 MT. Truman said the State of the Union is good" but that pros cerity is threatened "at a number of critical points in the economy Ee proposed his anti-inflation pro- gram to put him in a position to take effective action lat these danger spots"
 Minimum wage
 The President recommended a minimum wage of at least 75 cents an hour Git is now 40 cents), a million new low-rent public hous- Ing units over the next seven years, expanded social security coverage and other social measures.
 
 In support of his tax recommen- dations, the President said it is essential not only that the Federal budget be balanced, but also that there be a substantial surplus to reduce inllationary pressures, and permit sizeable reduction in the national debt, which now stands 1t S252, 100000, ,OOO."
 He did not specify the nature of the additional corporate taxes" he wants imposed or how much of the four billion he would raise by this levy.
 The President went before joint session of the Senate and House and read his 3,500-word State of the Union" message.
 Packed galleries heard the Pres ident's address. It was broadcast by major networks and was carried overseas by the State Departments "Vcice Of America"
 The State of-the Union message gave only general outline of what MT. Truman wants. More details are to be supplied n later mes sages and in programs which the Cabinet officers will present to Congressional committees.
 The President will have an economic message on Friday and will send his proposed budget to the legislators on Monday.
 Before going to the Capitol, MT. Truman had White House con- ference with Democratic leaders te discuss today's message and the budget
 Some of the leaders told report CTS afterwards that MT. Truman would ask s4l. 900, 100000 to run the government in the year beginning July l. That compares with s39.- c,000,000 ie asked for this year though actual expenses are ex- pected to top that.
 The budget may include estimates oi the cost of some of Mir. Tru- mans proposals for new legisla- tion.
 The recommended $4000,000 tax rise is not aimed to cover them and some of his propositions might run into billions of dollars.

 Funds were also secured in the amount of $4C0,000 for the immed- fate construction of four tuberculo- sis isolation units to be operated at four of the Indian Service hospitals in Alaska
 The U. s. Public Health Service secured an appropriation of S1,115,- coo for use in Alaska. This ap- pIopriation included $250,000 for health studies under Arctic con- ditions; S700C00 to be expended under the general direction of the Territorial Commissioner of Health for general public '-aalth programs; and s165,0o0 for public health clinics.
 U. s. Coast Guard
 After considerable effort on the part of the Delegate from Alaska, this Department, the Governor of the Territory and others, we were successful in securing the re-estab- lishment in Alaska of a head quarters for the Coast Guard Ser vice
 Parcel Post Zoning
 Alaska in the past has had to pay eighth zone rates for parcel post shipments between points within the Territory. In 1948, it was placed on a more equal foot ing with the States in the ship ment of parcel post packages by the extension to the Territory of parcel pest zoning regulations hitherto effective in the States. This is already enabling Alaskans to establish small mail order busi- nesses and permits Alaskan mer- chants to compete with concerns in the States in the distribution of supplies and equipment through out the Territory. The new parcel post regulations will add one more step to upbuilding Alaska's econ omy.
 Power Development
 On July F, 1948, the Bureau of Reclamation established an Alaskan headquarters office in Juneau. Four days later a field office was opened in Anchorage for the purpose of

It has q dramatic theme that
would have been deemed far too
important to be set to music not
so very long ago tn the theater.
Not now, however. The current
theory is that the best drama Is
that which Is more sung than
spoken.
Some one looking around for a

a lot worse than look into this.
Movie and theater promotion

overlook the ads on Philip Wylie's

fishers ad man had q hard time
finding a quote for that one IN
the critical reports on Wylie. but
he finally made 1t with an ex-
cerpt from the New York Herald
Tribune.

ads read, and somehow nothing
seems more inspired IN the Wnoie
mass of Monday advertising.

something from 1t. there Is not

to Henry Ginsburg. Paramount
head, after the premiere:
II have been previewing PIC
lures for some SO years and I be-
lieye It is the best audience reac-
ton I can recall. All the audience
cards are superlative. The au-
dience was with the picture every
moment for the two hours and
eight minutes. The audience re-
sponded to the romance. the spir-
itual. the humorous and exciting
values: the beauty and the ro-
nance of the story stirred the
audience to real depths; the lion
fight, the. wedding feast with its
violent climax, the battle OF the
iawbone, the hair cutting and the
temple scenes were really sensa-
tional. Not a single person
left the theater or stirred from
his seat until the end title came
on the screen. There are IS good
laughs and there were handker-
chiefs aplenty at the end"

self is In this. the sixth year OF It'd
glamorous life.
The thesis material In okla

parently durable effect upon the
musical drama.
It is the musical that had

cess thereby that it wiped out tn
earlier type of musical which Die
mot have a book. Musical com.
edy, the old type used to be called
and It is not good enough today
even for the movies, unless 1t hap

A musical play. the new type
can be anything-but comedy

This is true, for instance. OF the
musical hailed as the legitimate
successor to "Oklahoma!". which
of course, is South Pacific" Be-
fore the new era it would have
been incredible that any one, even
Rodgers and Hammerstein, should
think Of adapting q war story to
the form Of the now greatest hit
on Broadway.
An even more incredible pro-
duction Is in the making, namely
the musical version Of Lillian
Hellman's 1.-The Little Foxes.
That Regina Giddens and her
monstrous brothers should ever
have their names and evil works
associated with music would have
been preposterous not long ago
Now the project turns UP as one
of the most fascinating on the

It was logical, of course. that
after Lynn Riggs old play, Green

Civ Beautiful Award To Mrs. Prosser

For the ingenuity and initiative shown by Mrs. Emma Prosser in transforming stony ground into a fine garden, the City Beautiful Committee has awarded her this weeks prize of five dollars in trade at Paulsteiner's.
 Mrs. Prosser, who lives on Rail- road Avenue near the foot of Adams Street, collected the small amount of garden soil available in brightly painted sections of old oil drums and planted flowers in them.
 By using large number of these Mrs. Prosser has made her prem ises bright little garden spot which is neatly kept. She also has a fine vegetable garden.
 The committee is of the opinion that Hedley Davis is deserving of very special recognition for the fine appearance of the little park next to the railroad depot. Davis has kept up this little park for a long time, although few people have been aware of his contribu- tion. The committee also com mended the Jack Werners for their fine lawn and grounds, and Oscar Dahl for the we'll kept grounds about the New Seward Hotel.
