Serious Blow 10 AIaska: Grueninq

(Following is statement by Gov. Ernest Gruening on the death of the senate president)
 The sudden and unexpected death of Gunnard Engebreth comes as a staggering shock to his many friends and ad1isirers. His passing is U SS Sgfic 4s k4ss,s ts slsc -s.s;issys. of Alaska. Few SAlaskans have in recent years attained such rapid eminence and distinction as re- suit of their character, ability, pub lie spirit and vision. The esteem of his colleagues in the Legislature was clearly demonstrated by MT. Engebreth's election and re-elec- tion to the presidency of the Sem ate-the only time this honor has gone successively to one individual.
 Gunnard Engebreth was in every respect the ideal type of citizen. Beginning in Alaska as school teacher for the Office of Indian Affairs, he brough to his business life and public career the devotion that one properly associates with the teaching profession. As Leg islator he took his duties seriously and devoted himself in every way to making government effective in the service of the people. He was kindly; he was thorough; he had courage; and he had selflessness which is not too common either in public or private life. It is trag- edy that so promising career was cut short so early To his wife and to his young children the deepest and most heartfelt sympathy of the community will be extended.

5itlxa Mill
 Expansion Gets 0kay 

The first of four timber projects slated for Southeast Alaska was ap- proved today by the Defense Pro- duction administration, according to a dispatch to The Empire from the Associated Press in Washington, DC.
 The dispatch said that approval had been given for rapid tax amorti- zation for half of the nearly $120,000 cost of new power plant and mod ernization of the Columbia Lumber Lumber Company mill at Sitka.
 Accelerated amortization will allow construction costs to be charged off against taxes in five years instead of the normal 20 or 25 years and is being granted by the government, the dispatch said, to encourage con- struction aiding the mobilization program.
 T. A. Morgan, operator of the mill. told The Empire that plans call for an entirely new power plant with complete generating facilities for electrification of the mill and gen. eral modernization and improve ment of the present installation. These will include new head rig, motors and facilities which will step up present output of 60,00O board feet per 8-hour shift to 75.0OO board feet.
 About 50 men are employed. How ever, Morgan said that the payroll probably would not be increased as the modernization plan is expected to provide for the increased capacity without hiring more men.
 Other southeast Alaska timber projects which are awaiting final ap- proval from the Defense Production are the enlargement of the Juneau Lumber Company mill, installation of plywood plant in Juneau and the $40 million Ketch- ikan pulp mill.
 B. Frank Heintzleman. regional forester of the U. s. Forest Service, who returned from Washington, D. c. about a week ago, brought the first word of these four projects pending for approval. He has done considerable work in promoting the necessity for timber expansion and production in Southeast Alaska and it is expected the Defense Admin istration's decision on the other three projects will be forthcoming shortly.
