British Tourist Chief
Forecasts 10000
u. ). Visitors in 1949

Fifty million dollars from 100, ,00O
American tourists WE'RE an impor-
tant factor in Great Britain's eco
nomic recovery last year, Sir Alex
ander Maxwell. chairman of the
British Tourist Holidays Board, said,
at luncheon, sponsored by the
American Automobile Association in
the Mayf1ower Hotel yesterday.
This year, he added, 100000 Amer
ican tourists are expected. In the
four-year period, 1948-195l, he said
economists estimate American tour
lists will spend between $4,000 000,-
900 and $2,500,00O,00O in Western
Europe.
"One of the noteworthy develop
ments of the past year." he said
was the extension of the tourist
season beyond the traditional sum-
mer peak-through spring and into
late fall. Furthermore, the average
stay of visitors to Britain his risen
from pre-War average of five days
to l948 average of 18 days."
British hotels are making pro-
gress with their rehabilitation pro-
gram, he said, and internal trans
port facilities are again achieving
high standards of efficiency and
comfort"
Sir Alexander, British tobac-
co man, who has visited America
80 times, has made talks on the
British tourist situation in Boston,
New York, Chicago, San Francis
CO and Los Angeles on this trip.
He is sailing from New York at
the end of this week on the new
liner Caronia.
Everywhere he goes, he said, in an
interview before his talk, he is
asked if it is not unfair for the
tourist to eat British food. His an
swer is that the dollars they leave
in Britain buy more food. If they
want to help the British food sit
uation, he says, the thing to do
is to come to Britain, eat we'll and
pay the check.

CHARLES FAGERSTROM CRITICALLY INJURED

Charles FagerStrOm of Nome, Q worker at the Marks Air Force Base, was seriously injured when an oil truck while backing, knock ed him down and ran over him.
 Witnesses stated that Eager strom was standing back of the truck when the driver started to back his truck. The noise of other equipment nearby is believed to have kept Fagerstrom from hear ing the on-coming oil truck.
 The rear wheels of the heavy truck were said to have passed completely over Fagerstrom's body and it is feared internal injuries might prove fatal. He was taken to the Base hospital unconscious.
 Fagerstrom was rushed to the base hospital and given immedi- ate examination. It was decided he should not be moved, as at first planned, to Fairbanks or Anchor age as the trip would be too stren- uous in his condition.
 A report from the Base hospital this morning stated friefly that Fagerstrom seems to be slightly improved.
 Fagerstrom is a resident of Nome, residing on Second Ave. West with his wife and children. He is also member of the Nome School Board.

Success Of Big
 Four Meeting Will Depend On Russia

WASHINGTON, P)-Secretary of State Acheson indicated today that success of the coming Big Four conference on Germany will hinge on how far the Russians will go along with plans already laid out by the western powers.
 He told a news conference the United States intends to demand full guarantees of civil rights for the German people and will not accept any proposals which do not provide for such guarantees. Whether solutions can be reach ed, Acheson declared, depends on
 whether the Russians will make
 or consider proposals that will not
 retard in any way the successful agreements already made by the western powers for fitting Ger l many into the family of free Euro pean nations.
 The meeting of the Big Four foreign ministers opens at Paris : May B.
 In setting the limits of American
 maneuvers at Paris, Acheson went

 Mail service will be resumed.
 Western Berlin's mayor Ernest Reuter- ordered the black, red and gold flag of the new West German republic be flown on street cars and buses.
