SEATTLE, UP)—Alaska is "just

“Trouble is,” said the Alaska
business man, “it never grows up

“We have vast water power re

sources, but they are rotting in

Goldstein said he believed the
federal government should take
immediate steps to develop power
and timber resources and create
other inducements to get capita1
to enter Alaska.
He said the building of at least
two large* pulp and paper mills
would give Alaska a good start
toward growing up. “It is a crime

Navy Finds
Warm Lakes In
Antarctic Wastes
• By the Associated Press)
U. S. fliers have discovered a
strange lake-studded "oasis” tuck
ed into the wastes of ice and snow
which comprise the vast continent
of Antarctica, and there is much
speculation as to whether the re
markable area is warm enough to
support year-around human life in
comfort.
A combined American press dis
patch from f/P) correspondent Al
ton L. Blakeslee last night said dis
covery of the ice-free inland re
gion. 40 m les wide, might be one
of the most important yet made by
the navy expedition now studying!
the little-known down under con
tinent.
Fxpeditionary leaders Blakeslee
said, considered the discovery of
the greatest significance from the
a week.”
Goldstein said it was wrong to
criticize unduly the steamship
companies, railroads, Seattle in
terests and others for a situation
he believes could be remedied only
by creating industry in Alaska.
standpoint of geology and geogra
phy.
Capt. Robert S. Quackenbush,
Jr, chief of the expeditionary
staff, said this land of lakes region
was discovered by fliers of the ex-j
pedition’s western task force re
connoitering in planes Monday in
the Knox Coast vicinity.
They described it as a remark
able inland “oasis” of muddy pea |
green lakes—some of them big i
enough to land a plane on—and
tall, dark brown mounds of ap
parently bare earth rising 500 feet
above the surface.
Messuages to the headquarters
ship from Capt. Charles A. Bond
commanding the western wing, de
scribed the lakes as being “of a
pea green, muddy color, inter per
sed with dark blue and light
green, Bond said there was no
smoke to be seen in the degion, in
dicating that the conical mounds
resembled volcano peaks.
Exact location of the area was
not given nor were the number o
lakes and mounds righted sp?c:

Seven Die In
Army Plane Crash
MACON, Ga. (>P) — A search
party which beat its way through
a swamp today to reach the wreck
age of an army plane which crash
ed after a take off from Robins
field reported that the seven per
sons aboard w-ere dead.
Capt. L. R. Daniels, public rela
tions officer at the field, said all
seven persons apparently were
killed instantly. Army officials said
not release the names of those
aboard.
The plane crashed about a mile
and a half from tho^ field last
night. Robins field is located about
15 miles south of Macon.
about 40 miles.
Blakeslee said there was specu
lation on the headquarters ship
that the existence of warm water
springs might be the explanation
for the inland lake area.
Regarded as additional evidence
that the new land of lakes region
was comparatively warm were re
ports from mariners returning to
the mother ship that much new ice
was forming on the sea.
