Egan Awaits Reply From Legislators on Century 21 Offer

JUNEAU lR = Gov. Wm. Egan said Thursday 8 members of the Legislature have replied to his question as to whether they would support an appropriation of up to $175,0o0 to permit Alaska to take part in Seattle's Century 21 exposition.
 Egan polled the members of the Legislature after the National Bank of Commerce, Seattle, of fered the state free of charge the use of 5000 square feet of space in building the bank is coi1- structing on the exposition grounds.
 The state appropriation would be needed to equip and staff the Alaska exhibit.
 Egan said earlier this week he planned to advise the bank Mon- day whether Alaska would be able to accept the offer.
 Of the g replies, Egan said, II were from members of the Sen- ate and 21 were from members of the House of Representatives.
 Those who haven't answered apparently do not want to conn init themselves prior to the leg islative session" Egan said.
 T realized this was a possibility when l decided to take this un- usual step and ask them, in effect, how they would vote, but miti- gatiag circumstances demanded that the problem be handled in this manner"
 Egan said the bank deserved a definite answer quickly so it could make other plans if Alaska were unable to take part in C2l under NBC's offer.

 The Soviet Union once shipped 5000 tons ef coal to Japan which contained pieces of electric wire, steel scrap, wooden blocks and even detonators.
 Soviet coking coal bought by the city of Cairo refused the coke.
 Soviet jeeps sold to Indonesia had distorted windshields, in- ferior tires and defective rubber connections. Some of them had to be cannibalized in order to put the others in running shape.
 Those are examples of the im- pression the Communists have been creating in many places with the vaunted production and trade by which they have threatened to s'bury'' the Western economic system. The examples are from a recent worldwide survey.
 Coupled with her practice of trying to force naturalization of business and industry through ere ation of disturbances in the pro- duction of countries where she has supplied technical aid, this sort of thing leads to a measure rnent of Soviet economic height as considerably under the nine feet to which she pretends.

There is new interest in
the role women can play in sell
ing automobiles, both by women
themselves and by Dealers" Mr..
Van Dagens pointed out. IT is
our experience that women are
coming more Interested in re-
tail selling than ever before.
Women who enter automotive
sales have an opportunity 10 re-
ceive instruction in their new
career with courses at Chrysler
Corporation training centers or
at aiming sessions offered in
the field throughout the country
Mr. Van Dagens said.
In Cumberland, Maryland. a
leadership hired five new sales
women and, at last report, was
pleased with their progress.
In this case a representative
from the Detroit Training Center
went TO Cumberland TO instruct
the women in special training
course which included pointers
on qualifying sale prospect,
presenting and closing a sale,
and information about the entire
sales cycle.
Heretofore, automotive sales
for the most part have been re-
garded as something exclusive to
men. But this is no longer true,
Dealerships throughout the coun-
try are recognizing the value
of saleswomen and are screening
prospects in the same way they
do their prospective statesmen,

Women For Auto Sales
Seen In Near Future

DETROIT - The opportunity
for women in selling automobiles
has never been greater than it
is today, a Chrysler Corporation
sales expert said here today.
M. l.. Van Dagens. director of
sales training for Chrysler Cor
poration, said the opportunity
for women has been increased
with the changing demands Of
the customer, in number and sex.
Many of the reasons for the
growing opportunity are obvious.
After all, there are more women
than ever driving automobiles;
more women buying cars for
themselves; there is an increased
number of professional and
business women; and there is an
increased influence the women
has over the husband in the pur-
Ease of the family auto" Mr..
Van Dagens said.
With this mass femme car
public, sales women can talk
the women's language" he noted.
But they can be just as effective
in selling automobiles TO men,"
although women who enroll
in our sales training programs
receive the same basic instruc-
tons on sales as the men do,
we pass along some helpful hints
about what the feminine customer
sually looks for when she's out

In Economy Plan

Veterans who will and will

quarter of a billion dollars in
dividends TO be distributed un-
der the Presidents accelerated

ticnal economy were identified
by the Veterans Administration
The payments, first major task

ginning March 6, and will be
completed within about six
weeks. Bulk of the five million
checks will be printed in the
Chicago Disbursing office of the
Treasury on the new electronic
data processing system from
magnetic tape furnished from
VAS insurance computors.
Gene A. Robens Manager Of
VAS Regional Office in Detroit,
outlined a step-by-step method
@ poIieyhoIders can use TO find
cot IL they have a dividend
coming.
You will get a dividend if
either the letter V or X pre-
codes the number on your CT
insurance policy.
You will not receive a divid-
end if the letter preceding the
policy number arc RS" Nv"
"RH" or III"
IL you have already received
a dividend for 1861, you will not
get another.
If you placed your policy UNI
der in-scrvicc waiver of premium
payment which is still in effect
you arc not entitled to a divid-
end.
Mr.. Robcns said that approx
matcly 230.500 policyholders in
Michigan will receive more than
Sll,750,000 in dividends.
He urged veterans TO forcgo
calling or writing VA about the
payments. pointing out that an
swcring such inquiries will di-
vert personnel from processing
the dividend and might actually
delay the payments.
