Congress Against
Special Session
WASHINGTON, </P) — Influen-1
tial Senators threw cold water]
Saturday on suggestions for a spe

with emergency aid for Europe.
Senator Millikin <R.-Colo.t told
a reporter that members “will not

Senator Lucas of Illinois, Demo

of no plans for a special session
and that if one were called Con

of the time “talking about politics
and the 1948 election.”
“But the decision is one for

Cobh Attains 370.75
Milos Per Hour
On Utah Salt Plats
BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS,
Utah, i/P)—John Cobb sent his
7,700-pound racing car across the
measured mile on this western
Utah speedway yesterday at a
faster pace than ever attained on
land before, but bad luck contin
ued to dog him and prevented trie
return run required for recogni
tion of a new world record.
He later announced he will
make a new attempt Tuesday be
tween 4 and 6 p.m.
The Londoner sent his 24-cy.ol
der Behemoth over the mile at
370.75 miles per hour, compared
with his own 1939 record of 368.9
miles per hour, and over the kilo
meter course at 375.32, fastest
speed ever attained by man except
in the air.
The previous kilometer m irk,
also set by cobb on this saline flat
in 1939, was 369.7 mph.
After the cloud of salt driven
up by the 28-foot snub-nosed ve
hicle settled after the north-to
south run, Cobb returned to the
: timers’ stand in the middle of the
I measured mile and reported that
a “gaping hole’’ had been torn in
the body and the south to north
run would not be made.

Forest Service
Offers Second
Block Of Timber
(By Charles D. Watkins)
<iA*i Special Washington Service*
WASHINGTON. Bids for a
second block of Alaskan timber
totaling 1.500,000,000 cubic feet
will be called for by the United
States forest service in a few days.
It is the second such bid re
quested recently. The service says
the timber offered in Southeast
Alaska is enough to operate a
$35,000,000 pulp mill for 50 years.
Frank Heintzleman, a regional
forester of Alaska, said Saturday
bids would be opened for the sale
of timber for the first mill, near
Petersburg, Alaska, on Oct. 1.
The second advertisement
which will be published Septem
ber 15 calls for bids to be opened
Dec. 15, for the same amount of
timber near Ketchikan.
The sale of the Petersburg tract
will be the first step in the forest
service’s plan to establish six huge
pulp mills in the Territory, each
of which can turn out 525 tons
of pulp a day.
The successful bidders can make
pulp and ship it to the United
States or make newsprint for ship
ment here.
The forest service does not tell
the mills what kind of paper they
must make, but with the news
print shortage its officials say
they believe that newsprint will be
made.
Congressional hearings on the
legislation permitting the sale of
the timber developed the fact
that Alaskan newsprint mills will
find a ready market for their
product on the west coast and
elsewhere in this country. Con
gress approved despite opposition
from Indian tribes of Southeast
Alaska.
Heinzleman said he believes each
mill eventually will establish a
town of from 6,000 to 10.000 per
sons. and bring much needed pop
ulation to the Territory. The tim
ber is to be cut under a sustained
yield program, directed by the
forest service, so that when the
original area is cut over the first
part of the tract will have renew
ed itself.
Heinzleman said there was no
indication as yet of how many bids
will be made for the two tracts.
Cannery Interests
Threaten Head Of
Alaska Airlines
KETCHIKAN. f/P)—An Airlines
president charged Friday in a let
ter to a House public lands sub
committee that he had been warn
j ed by cannery interests to remain
silent on the controversial Alaska
statehood issue.
James Wooten, president of
Alaska Airlines, sent the letter to
Rep. Fred L. Crawford tR.-Mich.)
chairman of the sub-committee
which is holding hearings on the
proposal for Alaska statehood.
Wooten said he was prepared to
make an affidavit that two pack
ing company officials sounded the
I first warning in Seattle. He said
i he was told that he was “a new
comer to the Territory, did not un
derstand its problems and was
sticking his neck out too far.”
Wooten said he was threatened
with loss of business from can
neries which amounted to $400,000
the past season.
