Sundborg Resigns
As Development
Board Head
Resignation of George Sund
borg as general manager of the
Alaska Development board was
announced Wednesday by the
board, which has just ended a
two-day session at Juneau. Cnth
ryn Mack, who has been with the
board since its inception, was ap
pointed acting secretary.
In his letter of resignation. I
Sundborg explained the only rea- !
son for his leaving the position
was a reduction in salary which j
became effective this week under J
an act passed by the recent legis-1
lature. “Despite my interest in
:he work of the Alaska Develop
ment Board and my complete will
ngness to continue in such work,"
ae wrote, “I feel I cannot in jus
ice to my family serve for $6,600 ;
aer year. This is less than I was j
jarning in the States before ac-;
cepting appointment and less than
several offers now available to
me.” Sundborg said he intends to
•emain in the Territory.
Members of the Board attend- *
ng the session in Juneau included
Chairman Ernest Gruening, J. A.,
ralbot of Ketchikan, Antonio Po
let of Nome, and Fred Axford, of
Anchorage. Axford was appointed
last week succeeding Wilbur Wes
ter, who asked to be replaced be
cause the press of private duties j
in operating the Westward Hotel
and building a new addition made
it impossible to devote time to the
Board. Axford is a young Anchor
age businessman who has lived
in the Territory since 1936. He is
president of the Anchorage cham
t>er of commerce.
At its session the board went on |
record opposing removal of the j
~oast Guard district headquarters;
from Ketchikan, opposing the abo- j
iition of the Alaskan Fire Control!
i
Service, and supporting legisla- J
tion now being considered in j
Washington to permit pulp and
paper mills to become established I
in Alaska notwithstanding what
ever aboriginal rights might exist.
The board also formulated a |
new plan for cooperating with
chambers of commerce in Alaska
so that the limited funds remain
ing to the board might be used to
maximum advantage.

Jap War Crimes ,,
Witness Commits;
Harakiri
GUAM, (JPh-Navy Lieut. Sh -
gioshi Nakamura, a prosecution
witness in the war crimes trial pi
19 Japanese accused of causing
the torture deaths of 10 American .
on Truk, committed harakiri with
a razor late Saturday.
Nakamura slashed his stomach
and his throat in the witness set
tion of the marine stockade, to
which he had been returned after
a harrowing day of cross examin
ation before the scowling faces of
the defendants.
This morning Nakamura testi
fied against his former command
er, Capt. Hiroshi Iwanami, former
commandant of the Truk hospital,
saying Iwanami had given the or
der for torture experiments on
American prisoners of war.
American officers said Nakamu
ra’s loyalty to his former com
mander probably drove him to
suicide. ,
Nakamura spent the morning
under cross examination by de
fense counsel Martin E. Carlson,
after describing in detail how the
Yanks were killed with bacterial
injections, dynamite blasts and
the application of tourniquets—all
as part of hospital “experiments.”
