Mr.. Lefkowitz is meeting in
Washington this coming Thurs
day with New York State SEN
ator Jacob K. Javits and top
representatives of Alaska to lay
the groundwork for the writing
of strong anti-fraud securities
laws.
The opportunities and chal-
lenges of Alaska as a state must
fire the imagination of all ex-
cept a dullard. Just reading the
reports Of the past fortnight
about her size, grandeur, re-
sources must have quickened
your heartbeat. And Alaska s
future may be even brighter
than We guess.
Warning Stressed
But alwaySeon the fringe of
such developments as this are
the crooked promoters. They
move into infant industries.
Remember uranium?) They
move INTO infant areas. Their
techniques to catch the inno-
cent, eager to get rich quick,
are superbly smooth and slip
perry.
How can you protect your
self? Here's how:
Don't buy securities of any
Alaska-based corporation ex-
cept through a brokerage firm
of unquestionable reputation.
Don't fall for any fast spiel
on an Alaska stock given to
you over the telephone by a
stranger. The telephone solicit
tation is the fundamental tool
of the Swindler.
Don't buy Alsaka securities
as a result of a mail or house,
toulouse solicitation either.
The mail offer is as suspect as
the phone come-on.
Don't buy any Alaska secur-
ity on a tip or rumor; care
fully check with responsible
experts before you put UP a
single cent.
II know it'll happen; the
Swindlers will be looking hum
grily toward Alaska now," pre-
diets Mr.. Lefkowitz. He does
know.
Here then is your warning in
advance. Remember it well!

A broad and optimistic fu-
ture for the so-called rubber
airplane is seen in the current
issue Of the Goodyear Aircraft

cation. "The WingfO0t Clan"
Called the InllatOplane, its
possibilities we're first tossed
into the air successfully several
years ago.
Primarily interested in its
military applications. Good
year is broadening the plans
to include four or five possibil-
tiles for the military. Civil use
as such, isn't discussed, but the
implications are there in every
way except an approximate
cost.
The airplane is fabricated OF
lightweight nylon and dacron,
in a double-bias cover ply con-
struction which restricts and
-localizes punctures.
Its single-seater version, with
the pilot board, weighs less
than 4l0 pounds, has a wing
span Of % feet, q length Of
1877 and performs on a AZ
horsepower Nelson engine.

speed Of 70, takes of OH sod

Goodyear recently built one
for the ONCE Of Naval Re-
search, fitting 1t with a hydro
ski for water operation.

surface delivery, the Infiato-
plane. Goodyear says, is an

cred by jobless benefits dropped
by 10000 to a total Of 1882, 800,

The decline in insured en-

Thirty States reported de-
