Look Out for Phony Insurance, Warns Division

The Division of Insurance, De partment of Commerce, once again calls the attention of AlaskanS to a flood of mail advertising cur rently being received in the state, from non-admitted insurance agen- cies.
 As in the past instances where advertising of non-admitted com panies has appeared, the Division of Insurance wants to stress that insurance of any kind should be purchased only from those com panies which are licensed by the State. In the event of a contested claim with an unlicensed com pany, suit would have to be filed in the courts of the state where the company is domiciled and not in tke courts of this State.
 Should Alaskans have any doubts as to a company's status, or that of an individual representing him. self as an agent, they should con- tact the Division of Insurance, Department of Commerce, Alaska Office Building, Juneau, PRIOR to the purchase of a policy.

First Alaska Forestery Gathering Appraised of Pulp And Timber Potential

In a meeting of State and Fed eral Forestry people at Anchorage last week, Don Christman, ELM Forester, stated that Alaska is still a storehouse of wood fiber for the nation. Our timber sales and free use permits do not approach even l per cent of the estimated annual sustained yield production, he said. On public domain lands, this production or annual growth is about 2 billion board feet-enough to build an average frame house every 2 or 3 minutes, night and day year after year.
 State Forester A. Earl Plourde said that the meeting, the first of it's kind in Alaska, was a great benefit in promoting better under standing among the various for estry agencies. Plourde plans to hold a similar meeting next year.

with you" letters and kilograms
from other States may be help
full to Gov. George Wallace II

Dental primaries.
Financial contributions have
come in from throughout the
Nation, too, since 1t beca m e
known that the pro-segregation
Alabama Governor might chal-
lenge President Kennedy next
year in some doubtful States.
However, If Gov. w Wallace
cherishes any thought Of be-
coming q serious presidential
contender, he has kept that to
himself. Outwardly at least, he
would be more than content to
take enough electoral votes
away from both major parties
to keep either from winning.
That's the goal Of the free
elector" movement engineered
by the Alabama Governor and
his Mississippi colleague, Gov
Ross Barnett. They hope to at
tract enough support among
Southern voters and those else
where in the Nation to throw
the presidential election int
the House of Representatives.
A presidential campaign by
Gov. Wallace him self would
have another purpose. If he
made a strong showing In q
Democratic primary outside the
South, 1t could weaken the
President in the general elec-
ton.
Letters have come In from
every State and from some Eu-
ropean countries. but one OF
the Governors aides. Luther
Little, says the mail has been
especially heavy from Illinois
Indiana, Maryland. Ohio and

End Hot Race

JACKSON, Miss, Aug. "a
AP).-Mississippi Democrats
decide Tuesday between 1t.
Gov. Paul johnson and Former
Governor j. P. Coleman to end
O bitter governors race based
on the Oxford integration crisis
and the Kennedy administra-
ton.
The big issue during the s.
week runoff campaing was the
oxford crisis last fall, resulting
from efforts to enter Negro
James Meredith in the Univer-
sity Of Mississippi.
Mr.. Coleman accused a the
Lieutenant Governor, who
blocked Mr.. Meredith and his
Federal escort on one effort, of
playing into the Governments
hands and providing the excuse
to send troops and marshals to
the university.
And, MIR. Coleman said, the
whole affair was rigged with
the Kennedy administration.
He said 1t took Mr.. Meredith
out of the States hands and
resulted In his being backed by
marshals and troops.
Mr.. johnson criticized Mr..
Coleman for backing the Ken
nedy presidential ticket in 1860
and told voters he himself had
stood UP for Mississippi"
against the Kennedys at OK
ford.
Both men have vowed oppo-
sition to any reelection bid by
the President next year and
pledged to fight further deseg-
regation efforts in the State.
It was o question Of who had
opposed the Kennedys the long

Gen. Eisenhower's influence on

At the same time, they can't

victories on the rank and file
Of Republicans who don't both

who go out to vote.
The weight that the ordinary
Republican voter puts on Gen.
Eisenhower's opinion Is not to
be discounted.
Keeps Friends Guessing
The form er President has
proved himself adept in keep
ing his close political friends
guessing as to his preference
for a nominee. With a few foot
faults attributed to a lapse Of
memory, he licked off recently
a list Of a dozen good men" he
said he could support as the
party's standard bearer.
The former President embel-
lished this list with the names
Of q couple Of generals and a
couple of former cabinet mem
bers. But no one who knows
him well thinks Gen. Eisen-
hover believes any other gen.
eral has the kind Of reputation
that helped make him Presi-
dent or that the name of any
G. o. P. member is even re-
membered by the average vot-
er.
