that makes America the best land
in the world in which to live.
Yes, hundreds and sometimes
thousands of suppliers and fabri
cators are the craftsmen behind
the automobiles we drive, the ra
dios we hear. As workers in a
free America, we can never over
look the importance of the place
we have behind the name tags on
the products of our skill. As we
work, and to the extent that we
understand and depend upon that
system, so shall we succeed in
preserving American, ways and

j "DIRTY TRICK"
SAYS YOUNG BICYCLIST
j OKLAHOMA CITY, (A*)—It’s a
j dirty trick, says 9-year-old Dick
Ogle. He wasn’t hurt much last
night when a hit-run driver
bounced him off his bike in the
dark. But it still makes him pretty
sore today—now that he's back on
his feet.

Dick says the car’s bumper
snagged his bicycle, and that darn
hit-run driver kept right on run

The vast majority of the world’s

Gruening Suggests
Several Trade
Routes to Alaska
WASHINGTON, WPl—Governor
Ernest Gruening of Alaska recom
mended to secretary of the interi
or Krug yesterday establishment
of “several economically sound
trade routes’ ’to serve the Terri
tory.
He said he believed such a pro
gram would help citizens of Alas
ka now affected by “current ex
cessive maritime freight rates of
Seattle ship operators.’’
“Alaska’s transportation should
not be tied down exclusively to
anyone American port,” Gruening
said in his annual report. "Several
economically sound trade routes
should be fostered.”
Competition, he said, should go
far to establish equitable rates and
permit the stabilization of living
costs.
He recommended that Territori
al regulations be changed to per
mit outright purchase instead of
homesteading of lands and the
leasing of lands in national forest
areas.
He urged a program by the pub
lic health service to combat tuber
culosis in the Territory and asked
that adequate hospital facilities
be established.
He called attention to the lack
of housing; urged revision of the
school system and the building up
of the University of Alaska.
Airport improvements are need
ed, he said, as well as a compre
hensive road system by putting
the Territory under the federal
highway act and the overhauling
of law enforcement machinery.

Krug Warns U. S.
Needs To Practice
Conservation
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Secretary
of the interior Krug warned last
night that the nation must do a
better job of housekeeping with
.its natural resources or else it will
find the cupboard bare.
National security demands, he
said in his annual report, that we
reclaim more soil, find more pe
troleum, save more coal and in
general make better use of the
i things we have.
We must look ahead, Krug de
clared, to a day when we will
have a population of 155.000,000
> to support—perhaps by 1960—and
165,000,000 mouths to feed by
1990.
Highlights of the report:
Fuels—“One of the greatest
to those problems is “crystal
clear,” for with two United States
Senators the situation in the Ter
; ritory would not be permitted to
continue.
— ’ -
needs of the nation today is th<
discovery of new oil fields.” Syn
thetic fuels may contribute great
ly to oil security.
Minerals — Vanadium found in
phosphate-bearing strata of the
western states represents the
greatest known reserve in the
world. This metal, vital in atomic
energy, also can be recovered as
: a by-product in the manufacture
of phosphorus. Intensive explo
rations and research in many min
erals is necessary.
Alaska—On the threshhold of
developing several large pulp and
paper plants. Needs a great num
ber of small and large lodges; a
network of hotels and camps
would lead to a tourist business
“with an income running into the
millions.” Alaska’s wealth in crit
ical and strategic minerals “will
be unknown as long as explora
tion is conducted on the present
miserly pattern. An object lesson
exists in a comparison of the mag
nitude between the geological pro
grams of the United States and
those, reported in Congress, of the
Soviet Union.”
