ROAD DEvELO LOPMENT NEEDED, GOVERNOR STATES AT FAIR

Among highlights of the past Matanuska Valley Fair, was the appearance of Governor of Al aska, B. Frank Heintzleman on Sunday, September 5 which had been declared as Governors Day at the fair.
 Gov. Heintzleman was greeted by a committee of fair associa- ton, city military and political leaders, including General James Collins, commanding general U. s. Army Alaska. The presen- tation of colors was performed by members of the Palmer Am erican Legion Post and two U. s. Army infantry members. Palmer participants were Ray Lancaster, Seth Cook, and L. w. Rorrison.
 Gov. Heintzleman, recalling the growth of the Matanuska Valley, told listeners that in 1887 there were only about 10000 persons living in the entire territory. To- days figure runs over 100000, with much of this great increase located along the railbelt, of which the farming area is an inn portant part.
 "We must try to attain, as soon as possible, a more stable econ omy in this territory" he stated. We often hear that we are too far north for extensive farming. This has been proven erroneous and has been disregarded alto gether."
 The first thing we must have is roads-Without them we can not develop for they are the key to development" Gov. Heintzle- man called upon the next legis- lature to do everything possible to make territorial funds avail able for this work. Touching on the farm loans, the governor ad- Vocated the present limit of $200,- 900 to be raised to a point where more and more agriculture will benefit.
 Prior to the governors talk 'Heinie" Snider, senior senator, and his opponent Dr. Lee Me Kinley staged a milking contest, in which the judges tied in the decision of winner. Gov. Hein- tzleman was called upon to break the tie and stated that although he thought Dr. Mckinley had a fine technique, he felt Heinie had the better "pull".
 While in Palmer Gov. Heintzle- man was taken on a tour of the (Continued on page 4

 Visitors to the council meeting include Ralph FarnsWorth, presi dent of the Matanuska Valley Air mems Association. Farnsworth presented list of 10 recommen- dations the association has made and that the local Chamber of Commerce has approved, that both groups feel should be com pleted before the City of Palmer would consider taking over the Palmer Airport from the Depart ment of Aviation. The recommen- dation in part included-fill in and grade the east end of the east runway where erosion has taken place - remove stumps to provide tie-down space for planes provide wire and lights for the eaSt-West runWay-clear all land titles and several other suggeS- tioas. The recommendations were mace to indicate necessary work at the nearby airport in order to put 1t on working paying basis. 4 lengthy discussion followed ae which time Farnsworth explain various reasons for the recom- mendations and suggested this work to be done by the aviation department before the city would agree to accept the airport. If the airport was put in good condition prior to the city's acquisition, it is felt by the airmen and the Chamber of Commerce aviation committee, that the airport will be able to sustain itself, with var ious means of raising money for this purpose already worked out. Communication from Vic Fish CT of the League of Alaska Cities, announced November 4, 5, and 6 as the meeting of the League and urged attendance by the many city officials as possible.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, June IL.
The first disclosure that the
atomic-powered submarine Maui
titus will use the Regulus guided
missile as an offensive weapon
was made last night by Assistant
Secretary of the Navy for Air
James H. Smith, jr.
Departing from a prepared
speech before the Aviation
Writers Association, Mr.. Smith
told the group at a banquet that
the Regulus, made by Chance
vought and capable of carrying
an atomic warhead, twas tied
in" with the Nautilus. The Nau-
titus was christened last year by
the Presidents wife at Groton,
Conn, and is the Nations first
atomic-powered vessel.
The Regulus, a surface-to-
surface missile, is 80 feet long
and has a wing span of 81 feet.
The wingtips of the newer models
fold back for easier storage
aboard ship.
The ReguluS, designated by
the Navy as the SSM MIA, has
an Allison J33 jet engine with
booster rockets for fast takeoff.
The missile weighs 1882 pounds
and is in the high subsoniC
speed range.
Carrier Power Cited.
In his speech Mr.. Smith said
q modern aircraft carrier strik-
ing force can launch in 20 min
utes a heavier raid than was
launched by all carriers in all of
World War II.
At the same time he disclosed
that a carrier based plane that
can land guns, trucks, supplies
or an assault company of Ma

World War II fighter planes. In
an assault operation it will land
offshore, taxi to the beach, and
when the hull touches the sand
the bow will open upward and
vehicles and troops will debark.
To pull off the beach the pilot
simply will reverse the propel-
lers and back away, and a 30
second taxi run will lift the
8O-ton plane into the air, with
as much as "a tons of cargo.
The main deck will be SO feet
long and more than 9 feet wide.
The new ship will carry as
many as four 155-millimeter
howitzers. three 212-ton trucks,
six jeeps, two half-trackS and
other military equipment. When
it comes to troops, the Slim
hulled R3Y-2 can be fitted with
1O3 demountable, rearward-fac-
ing seats, or can carry 80 litters

gines developing about $4,000
horsepower and will use contra
