JUNEAU, R-Democratic ma jorities in the Legislature, which opened here today, picked Sen. Victor Rivers of Anchorage for the Senate presidency and Rep. Richard Greuel of Fairbanks for speaker of the House.
 Both were chosen at caucuSes of the Democratic members of each House Sunday. There was no announcement of the Rivers se- lection in advance of the Senate's converting today, but reliable sources said he was the choice over Sen. William Beltz of Hay cock and Nome.
 Rivers is member of a we'll known Alaska family. He is a brother of former attorney gen. eral Ralph Rivers, who resigned his Senate seat from Fairbanks to go to Washington as "Ten- nessee Plan'' congressman.
 Sen. Rivers last served in the Legislature in the 1949 session. He was defeated for reelection in 1850 but was returned to his seat by the voters in last years election. He played a key role in pushing thru the basic tax pro-

 Crash Lands on . Ice of Cook Inlet

ANCHORAGE, Rt-An Air Force cargo plane carrying 12 crew members and soldier passenger on emergency leave to the States caught fire shortly after takeoff from Elmendorf Air Force Base here last night and crash landed on the ice-bound waters of Cook Inlet.
 None of the 13 aboard was ser iously injured. They were hoisted to safety within 10 minutes after the crash by two Air Force heli- copters.
 The C-124 Globemaster took off at sos pm. enroute to McChord AFB near Tacoma. A few min utes later one engine caught fire and the pilot, Capt. Theodore Testy attempted to return to the base but was forced down only a couple of miles from the strip.
 The big craft came to rest on the ice about 20 yards from shore.
 The ice in Cook Inlet is in big f1oes, which are broken apart by the tremendous tides in the inlet The landing was at low tide so the ice along the shore was a firm but rough emergency landing field"
 The rescue operation was car ried out in freezing weather with one helicopter lowering overhead providing floodlights while the other ferried the men to the hos pita1 for observation.

Kay Recommends
 Territorial Administrator To Make Appointments

JUNEAU, RAIn prelude to the Legislatures opening today ex-Rep. Wendell Kay of Anchor age suggested to fellow Democrats that it would be politically wise to create a territorial admins trator to make all appointments to boards and commissions.
 The governor now makes the appointments, subject to confirma tion by the Legislature.
 Kay, speaker of the House in the 1855 Legislature, suggested al a possession party gathering that such an administrator should be elected by the people, in contrast to the appointive governor.
 He predicted the next governor will be "a shrewd and practical Republican politician"
 Kay also proposed re-enactment of the territorial General Prop erty Tax, which a Republican controlled Legislature repealed in 1853.

Plans are about completed for the entertainment of the Honor able Fred A. Seaton, Secretary of the Interior, and his party com posed of Anthony J. Lausi, Di- rector of Territories, A. M. Ed wards, associate Solicitor, Divi- sion of Territories, and Leola Tise, personal secretary to Seaton.
 He is to have his wishes grati- fled as completely as possible when he lands here tomorrow morning about 10 o'clock as the committee in charge is planning to give him everything he has re- quested. This includes reindeer meat for the 11:3O luncheon; an ivory carver at work, Eskimo dancers at the airport, mineral display showing the fabulous variety of minerals of the Nome area, and conference with a group of local citizens.
 The Eskimo dances may be held indoors if weather is unfa- vorable.
 The Chamber of Commerce has prepared a report for Secretary Seaton, showing what they be- lieve to be the necessary or de- sireable measures for the econom- ic development and welfare of the people of northwestern Alas ka. The report covers many phases of conditions here and suggests remedies, the most inn portant of which are as follows: STATEHOOD
 "In connection with bills now understood to have been intro duced in the 05th Congress to grant statehood to Alaska and the remarks of the President in his annual budget message to Congress, we respectfully protest any legislation which would pro- vide for partition of any geo. graphic area within the Territory, to be excluded from the new State. However, we have no ob- jection to proper provision in any such bill for withdrawal from the grant of public land to the new State, or from entry, of such lands or areas in the interest of nation al security considered essential for national defense.
 ''We also recommend relin- punishment of Public Land Order Mo- 82 withdrawing from entry or mineral development vast area in the arctic region, including the Cubik natural gas field, unless considered essential for defense purposes. In this connection, at tCiiIIOii 1o uA SSICo " CiiC IoSI IiAoI approximately one-half of the entire Second Judicial Division is now withdrawn, including the area mentioned and several na- tive reservations.

 ROADS
 The Chamber recognizes the fact that jurisdiction over the construction and maintenance of roads in Alaska is no longer vest ed in the Department of the In terior, but in the Department of Commerce. However, we desire to direct (Seaton's) attention to the urgent need of more roads in this area as set forth in the en- closed Report, with a few addi- tional comments, with the sug- gestion that you may wish to communicate such views by req son of (Seaton's) visit to the Sec retary of Commerce or the Bu- reau of Public Roads.
 Some improvements have been made to the road to Council all though much yet remains to be accomplished, and some prelimin- ary work has been done on the proposed road to Teller under the direction of the Territorial High way Engineer.
 we are faced with an immedi- ate problem in this connection in that in order for any construction work to be done during the brief summer season, bids must be ad- vertised and contracts let before April 1. The Territorial Board of Road Commissioners is charged with the duty of allocating Feder- al and Territorial highway funds and determining priorities, which procedure, we are informed, will still be applicable under the re- cent Federal Highway Act for Alaska It is therefore urged that every opportunity be given to such Board and the Territorial Highway Engineer to meet with the Regional Engineer of the Bu- reau of Public Roads, or other representative of the Department of Commerce, with respect to such funds and the administra- ton of the Act.
 The trunk highway from Nome to Fairbanks to connect with the Alaska Highway is understood to have received high priority with the Board of Road commissioners and is again urged" FREIGHT RATES
 Freight rates to Alaska being higher than shipment to Japan, Hawaii, and Far East ports, the Chamber urges that the matter be investigated. They also voiced an objection to the operation by the Alaska Native Service of the Motorship North Star in competi- tion with private commerce. The Chamber stated that should this service be discontinued ''there are a number of boats at Kotze- bue and Nome which would be made available for coastal ser vice, which would provide an ad- ditional payroll for white and
