Alaska Demos
Protest Wallgren
As Interior Secy.
ANCHORAGE, (#*) — Alaska
Democrats said yesterday they
have sent President Truman a
telegram opposing the possible ap
pointment of Washington Gover
nor Mon Wallgren as secretary of
the interior.
Victor S. Rivers, chairman of the
Democratic central committee, said
his group, Democratic divisional
committees and Democrat club of
ficers all have sent wires.
Rivers said “We feel Wallgren
represents those interests in the
Pacific Northwest whose main in
terest would be to exploit Alaska
rather than emancipate it.”
The Westward Alaska Fisheries
council previously took similar ac
tion.
Propose Shipping
Alaska Coal
To The Orient
<</P) Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON. (/P) — Interior
department officials said yester
day they are investigating possi
bilities of shipping Alaska coal to
the Orient. H. Rex Lee, assistant
director of the division of terri
tories, said Alaska coal producers
have suggested that Oriental mar
kets be opened to the Territory’s
coal. He said no conclusions can
be drawn from the investigation
up to now as to whether the pro
posal is feasible.
Lee said he could not predict the
outcome of the investigation but
that preliminary studies indicate
China has other coal resources and
will not be in the market for Alas
ka coal.
