He points out that until very recently, there has been virtually no organized eff fort on the part of any agency rrivate of Government, to develop or to stimulate development of Alaskan industry, community life, and agriculture.
 The Inter-Agency Committee, composed of Is representatives of the Federal Government, has a five-vear coordinated plan and pro- gram covering the major develop ments which should be undertaken during that period. In addition, the Interior Department now has an Alaskan Field Committee, com pcsed of on-the-spot, on-the-job representatives of Interior Bureaus and Offices who will trouble shoot and expedite plans.

And, the other Federal agen- cies are gearing plans for related developments into the basic Re- clamation undertaking.
 Reclamation Probe
 Reclamation Investigations got under way last July. following a Congressional appropriation of s150,O00 for this purpose. Although engineers have accommodated only the major rivers so far, they have already found hydroelectric power sites which would produce more han 50 billion kilowatt- hours an- nually. This represents about one fifth of the entire electric power production by United States util- ities in i947. In all Alaska, only 34is million kilowatt- hours were lroduced last year

 At the present time, it appears that the next development in the railbelt area would be in Devi Canycn on the Susitna River Il is located about 125 miles north of Anchorage and only 10 miles from the Alaska Railroad. The Devi Canyon project would serve not only the Anchorage area but also several large new industries pro- jected for the railbelt. Initial in- stalled power plant capacity would Le more than 100000 kilowatts.
 All in all, I am told, there are 90 major potential hydroelectriC power sites in southeast Alaska alone, which could have a con tinuous capacity of more than 300,- eco kilowatts. Investigations are TOW being conducted on major sites near Juneau, Sitka. and Ketchikan

 New Wealth Tor Nation

Alaskan resource development can and should make new economic opportunities and important con- tributions to our national wealth, says Assistant Secretary of the In- terior William E. Warne, who has made detailed study of the prob lems and potentialities of "Ameri- cas- last frontier"
 Our widely held, traditional con- ception of Alaska as Stewards Folly" as forbidding, ice-bound land with little prospects for ad- vancement is erroneous, he says.
 The natives call it "Alakh- Skhak," meaning Great Country . and the Department of the Inter ior's exploration of the economic possibilities of the land are prov ing how right they are, he added
 In an article in the January issue of The Reclamation Era, official Bureau of Reclamation publica- ton, Assistant Secretary Warne states firmly that the people of Alaska must be given "an oppor- tunity it become sustaining producing wealth for themselves md the Territory, and thereby pro- tecting the economy and welfare of the United States He out lined a coordinated Federal pro- 3ram, already under way, for open ng up access to rich. undeveloped natural resources that would give he people new opportunities to stablish industries, create produc- i've jobs and add much to the lational wealth.

 Electrical Energy
 The Assistant Secretary believes tlat the development of electric energy in Alaska is the key to Alaskas future pointing .out that 1t would relieve two immediate erohlems retarding Alaskan growth
 One problem is the lack of small, locally developed industries and the other is the lack of ven- ture capital" he explained. For example, if you wanted to go into he cement business in Alaska, and there are raw materials to assure its success, you would not only have to build the cement mill, but build the power plant.
 The Inter-Agency Committee on the Development of Alaska, which was formally organized last year and had been working long before that. feels that if We can develop hydroelectric power in Alaska, the edge can be knocked off the high cost of energy Some industries VIII be attracted This would also reduce the size Of the requirement. for capital in putting small indus tries into the Territory. and there by knock down the high cost of living

A jury of nine women and three

There is reported White House
pressure for action on the dis

President Truman criticized in his

The pending measure would in

could be admitted to this country.
1t also would eliminate some Of
the restrictions that the President
criticized.
Senator Lucas has been awaiting
the return from Europe of Chair
man McCarran of the Judiciary
Committee before taking up the
measure. Senator McCarran is OPP
posing passage of the bill.
