BY TRUMAN r. TEMPLE

The year 1861 probably will
be remembered by Olen W.
Salisbury, jr. as the point where
Uncle Sam crowned him King
of the Suggestion Box-Peace-
time Division.
Agriculture Secretary Orville
L. Freeman handed him a check
for $4,515 yesterday for a sug-
gestion that saved the Gov
ernment $3,S89,700 in fiscal
1860.
1t was the largest cash award
for q suggestion box note ever
bestowed by any Federal agency
outside the Pentagon. Mr..
Salisbury, q 53-year-old deputy
director in the Departments
New Orleans office, got it for
proposing an electronic system
to keep records on cotton prices.
Despite a vein Of skepticism
in some industries about the
value of these idea chutes. their
record for saving American
stockholders and taxpayers
money is hard to ignore. More
than 2,700 ideas flow into the
little boxes every day in gov
ernment and business, and the
experts claim the savings total
fabulous sums.
Some Light" Ideas
Some employers have reason
to view them with mixed feel
ings. An airline official, for
example, once found a note
urging that planes be made
lighter for takeoffs by remov-
ing the pits from dinner olives
beforehand.
And another transforming
employe failed to collect on his
suggestion that planes drop de-
tergent powder into the clouds
so that any airliners happening
along laer would get a bubble
bath!
Sure, we put in a suggestion
box" saws one executive with a
wry face. AFTER the first month
or two, all we got was notes
suggesting we move the water
cooler. or telling the boss to
drop dead"
No one knows who the first
man was to channel the
kibitzer's ideas into profits, but
the urge to give helpful advice
seems to be part of human ma
ture. Voltaire once remarked
that If he'd been around when
God was creating our world, he
would have made q few sug-
geStionS.
The Palace Had One
During the Middle Ages the
beginnings of an idea box CROP
ped up in Venice where citizens
could scribble their suggestions
on a piece of paper and drop
it through a slot in the rulers
palace wall.
The first American company
to encourage the system was
Yale & Towne Manufacturing
Co., at its Stamford Conn
plant in 1880. Others such as
National Cash Register Co. and
Eastman Kodak soon adopted
the gimmick.

Sen. Gruening Tells
 Importance Of Area Redeveleepnnent Program to A Alaska 4

Sen. Ernest Gruening, who with
 his wife, spent the past three days
 here spoke before several civic groups and met with many inii- viduals.
 In his talks to the people he stressed the importance of the community taking steps immedi- ately to participate in the Area Redevelopment program which is to find new industry suitable for the unemployment of those people in this are who are not working or who only work part of the year. He explained that these projects are given federal aid up to 65% with l0H from the state and the balance from other sources. These prciet.ts cannot be temporary employment, but per- manent industry. He stated that Ketchikali already has its applica- ton iii and Fairbanks is well along the way toward getting theirs approved.
 Gruening compared Skagway to Nome and told how it was being rejcvenated with the building of a road which will make it possible to be an outstanding tourist town. Nome is a natural tourist high point, he told the Chamber, as many people think of Nome when they think of Alaska and that industry must be developed here to bring more to the Bering Sea Coast This next year should be an outstanding year for tour ism with millions of people ex- pected to pour into Seattle for the; Century 21 Worlds Fair and many Of which wilt continue on to Alaska.
 Tourism will .also be almplified when the ferries 1o Into oeere|tion and Nome mutt be Teady when that time comes next summer.
 The develop1nent of the trans- Siberian flights will also be an-
 other important development to the tourist industry in the not too distant future he prophesied. Ninety-two years of colonialian has held Alaska back, he ex- plained and the voting delegation in Washingtoxsai ss1ssssss ss1ssssss ois .sz has ssto do,
 but undo" such as preventing the closing of Ladd Field, undoing the action on duck ss o6ffing and many
 other things aimed to impede development Of the new state. Senator and Mrs Efalening missed the dedication of the PFfS Hospital at Kotzebne due to
 weather and remained here yes
