Alaska Tour  Unnecessary

Apprehension about the safe ty of travellers in Alaska in the current international crisis is wholly unjustified, and vacation ists planning to visit the Terri tory this season should not can eel their trips on account of 1t, the Alaska Development Board advised tour agencies and travel publications this week
 Contrary to rumor which ap- pears to be abroad in the States, Alaska is not in a state of emer- gency," George Sundborg, Board Consultant, declared. IS m e published reports about more or less routine defense. activi- ties in Alaska have been played up in exaggerated fashion, he added. Business and civilian activities are proceeding as us- ual and our transportation com panies, hotels and resorts are better prepared to handle visi- tors than ever before"
 The statement came after re- ports received from vario S transportation companies indi- cated an increasing number of cancellations by tour passengers who are under the impression that travel to Alaska at this time is unsafe. Reports reaching the Board office here also indicate that some travellers enroute to the Territory over the Alaska Highway had turned back be- cause of the war scare"
 All transportation companies which serve Alaska are contin. uing their regular service and special cruises" Sundborg said and travel restrictions are not contemplated on the A a k . Highway" He added that be cause of cancellations already received, several of the steam ship lines, which ordinarily are booked solid many months 1T advance of the summer and fal | travel season, can now offer space to additional travellers.

To The People Of SeWurd:

Once again an emergency contronts the people of Seward. We must prepare for possible attack by an enemy. Many Sew ardites are firm in the opinion that there will be no attack, as indeed we all hope. but no one knows. Governor Gruening has asked that every community set up a civilian defense plan. which means that Red Cross must car " a large part in the project.
 Red Cross in Seward has been quite inactive since the last war. except for routine duties which have been carried on by the few remaining officers of the organ izatiOn. Now, we must re-organ- ize completely, and clear the decks for action.
 The Civilian Defense Commit tee will expect Red Cross to pro- vide instruction in first aid. nurses aid, home nursing, and to assist in emergency canteen service and transportation if necessary. In order to do that, we must have trained personnel available. They must be trained NOW.
 We must elect an entire new roster of officers, beginning with a Chapter chairman. We must set up classes for instruction, and refresher courses in first aid and home nursing.
 There will be an emergency meeting of Red Cross at 8 p.m. in the City Council room on Fri day. August 4. That is this Friday.
 This is not the time for any one to sit back and criticize what has or has not. been done in the past. Nor is it the time to say, T am too busy, let some body else do it.
 We are already behind all other Alaska cities in the de- fense program. Let's not hide our heads in the sand, nor blind ourselves to the need for pre- paredness. It is your home at

John l.. Lewis Wouldn't Make Good Dog Catcher

DENVER, (P)-"I wouldn't ap- point John L. Lewis dog catcher" " President Truman wrote Colorado State Senator Neil Bishop a year and a half ago.
 Bishop, a Democrat, disclosed Wednesday the Presidents reply to his joking suggestion that the United Mine Workers chief be ap- pointed ambassador to Russia.
 Bishop said he didn't make the letter public in May, 1949, when he received it because of a threatened coal strike.
 He wrote that Lewis would make a good ambassador because he "has a more formidable ap- pearance than Stalin; roars No louder than Gromyko; hurls more choice invectives and quotations from the classics in his oratory than Vishinsky; out-negotiates Mol0tov at the conference table as any mine operators will tes- tify-and Lewis would be in Mos cow"
 MT. Truman replied that he al- ready had appointed a "good man" to the post, but appreciated the ''good humor" of the sugges- ton.
