Three seriously i'll persons at
Haines have been awaiting trans
portation from Haines for the past
several days. They are Mrs. Lam
mers, a serious mastoid case; Mrs.
John Shnabel whose illness is not
known, and Frank Saucer, an eld-
erly man reported near death.
Alaska Coastal Always has been
unable to fly to Haines for the
past five days. Yesterday nth
Coast Guard headquarters here was
requested to provide transportation
for the three. The cutter Storis

CINE trouble in Lynn Canal and
hit winds of gale force between
55 and IS miles per hour with

ordered to proceed to HaineS. Its
estimated time of arrival was I'M

it was encountering havy snow
storms and bad weather but was
underway.

agency lis that we have been
informed by the national park SER
vices and the bureau of land man
agement that the United States
would be disposed to transfer to
the Territory some or all of 22
withdrawn areas along the Alaska
highway and Tok cutoff totaling a
quarter million acres or more. If
machinery existed for the Territory
to accept and administer such pro-
perties.
THE areas concerned were with
drawn at the instance Of the Ma
tional Park Service with the pur-
pose of preserving exceptional seem
ic areas or locations of potential
use in connection with highway
travel. While it cannot be said to
be a firm offer at this stage, it is
a possibility worthy of legislative
exploration and study"
The Governor suggested the law
makers give thorough study" TO
the whole matter of existing man
agement by various boards. He said
it distributes authority through
widely separated areas of the Ter
ritory but that travel and perdiem
expenses for various board mem
bers makes it "a fairly costly pro-
cedure in many cases"
Other suggestions included pos
sible legislation to allow city en-
ployees to get into the federal old
age benefits setup, possible central
purchasing fer the territorial agen-
cies and cooperation in education
compacts with the western states.

vided from current income"
Gruening described a balanced
budget as essential to the continu-
ing growth and development of AL
aska," and said it will be further
demonstration of our own convic-
ton we are fully capable of self
government"
In contrast to previous messages,
the self government phrase was one
of three minor references to state
hood. The Governor said elsewhere
in his message that while improve
ments have been made in federal
controls "only statehood will cure
some of the long standing abuses"
Continued Development
Gruening advocated continued
development efforts by the Territory
to diversity and expand the econ
omy.
He said there are rosy prospects
for the Territory getting extensive
new school lands from federal
agencies, and added that eventually
a land agency will be needed, but
it is possibly not yet justified. One
job a land agency could handle,
the Governor said, would be sell
Getting land to which it is entitled
in lieu of lands missing from old
federal grants. He said there is a
possibility federal agencies might
grant a quarter Of million acres
along the Alaska Highway and Tok
Cutoff.
Municipal Problems
Citing the patchwork BOOM
growth of Alaska cities, with the
multiplicity of ensuing problems,
the Governor declared:
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1951-01-25

Consideration should be given
to enabling legislation authoriz-
ing creation of greater community
area planning and coming boards,
with a provision for joint partici-
patton by both city and suburban
areas"
The message devoted more space
to civil defense than to any other
subject-eight of its Sd pages. The
Governor said he had asked the
Federal Civilian Administrator to
establish Alaska as separate civil
defense region because Of its unique
position ION the front line"
Gruening said 20 communities
are proceeding with defense plans
but Territorial action is needed
I'VE fervently hope the emer-
gency may not arise but it would
be folly not fully to anticipate the
possibility and not to take every
proper precaution," he said.
Successor to Alexander
The Governor said the Territory
may have to seek a new head for
its civil defense and national guard
organizations soon. He said Col.
Joseph Alexander, as soldier in the
national defense establishment, is
liable to rotation in assignment.
He said the colonels tour of duty
in Alaska already had been ex-
tended one year, until August at
the Governors request. After that,
he said. the colonel's status is in
definite
The Governor said the federal
civil defense act makes clear that
states and communities are still
expected to undertake the greater
part q this task.
Land Agency
He explained that one job of a
land agency would be- to handle the
task of selecting additional lands
to which the Territory is entitled
He said the Territory is entitled
to them through such shortages in
original grants as were caused by
homestead Withdrawals from allot-
ted sections and shortages where
the coastline cut into Territory
assigned sections.

sible justification for a new land

body seems to pay much atten-
ton to what happens to a few
fists full of all those bucks en-
route. l have often wondered
what billion dollars would look
ike. In cold cash.
Or, for that matter, in "hot''
cash, since l gather from the
papers that fur coats and trips to
Florida have made it hot for some
of the lads.
Not that it really matters to
the average citizen what billion
may really look like. earmarked
or not, inasmuch as the present
tax formula boiled down to (a)
How Much You Got? (b) Where
Is 1t AT? (c) How Long Will 1t
Take You TO Get 1t Down Here?
Anyhow, after consulting the
old crystal eight ball, l have
learned that billion berries is a
more than somewhat consider
able load of loot.
. Leave US pretend that you have
whomped yourself up a billion
nice, green American dollar bills
and have a chance to sit back and
contemplate it before some COM
mittee slaps you on a television
quizz to ask embarrassing ques-
tions.
l will wager you would say:
wow"
! An ordinary, little old inflated
dollar bill weighs in at exactly
l.02 grams, cousins, and it takes
AS of them to equal a pound. A
billion bills, therefore, balances
the scales at 2,247,l9l pounds.
Naturally, you would not care
to have your place cluttered up
with all that paper money but it
would be no minor stunt to move
the stuff in one swell foop. 1t
would take 1923 one ton trucks to
haul all that lovely root of evil
away in one trip.
There would still be enough
folding money lying about loose
to fill half ton truck. And even
then you would have 84,995
singles left over to use for trips,
pin ball machines and pocket
money.
Back in the Thirties, when the
government began tossing money
like crazy, the master
minds were reluctant to employ
the term "a billion dollars" for
fear such loose handling of the
might prove too great al
shock to public blood pressure. A
billion was, therefore, referred toI
as 'one thousand million" as al
sort of camouflage, and amounts
like 'fifty-five hundred million."l
etcetera, were used to inform
folks about the amounts beingl
doled out.
: We gradually got accustomed
to the government spending
quite beyond compre-
nension and are now prone to
overlook the breath taking enorm-
ty of the billions being earmark-
ed for this and for that and for
another thing.
Of course, you will have tol
admit that it is easier for the gov
ernment to get hold of a lot of
.rucks than it would be for you
,r me. Where would we get 1923
