“New Interests
May Make Alaska
$1,000,000 Loan*
JUNEAU. (<P> — Territorial
treasurer Henry Roden said nego
tiations were under way Saturday
with “new interests” for a million
dollar loan for Alaska.
Seattle bankers turned Alaska
down on the proposed loan when
it was disclosed the Territory’s in
debtedness actually was nearly
$2,500,000.
Roden said Alaska was “going
to pull out” of its money shortage
dilemma, but declined to identify
the “new interests.”
Records at the auditor’s office
show that after payments this
week of some $200,000 there will
be outstanding current vouchers
amounting to $424,000—all but ap
proximately $125,000 of which is
new obligation.
t
The auditor’s office estimated
that all expenses, including vouch
ers now held, would reach $4,600,
000 by January 31, the date on
which it was proposed that the
loan be repaid.

NORTH RANDOLPH, (/P> — 5
year-old Dwight Williams had his
birthday party Friday night —

Later, she told friends: "I’m
ready to die. My only regret is
leaving my wonderful husband

Strikes Cause West
Coast Trade Loss
SAN FRANCISCO. (/P> — The
Chronicle Saturday quoted Hawa
i iian governor Ingram Stainback
; as saying longshore strikes or\ the
West Coast and in Hawaii are
forcing the islands to .transfer
their trade from western to Atlan
tic and Gulf coast ports.
“The Territory can’t take these
continual waterfront tie-ups any
longer,” Stainback told the paper.
“Shipping is vital to the islands,
but we have been isolated for
nearly seven out of the past 11
months by CIO longshoi’e strikes
—the 95-day West Coast walkout
and the present 111-day Hawaiian
dock workers’ strike. The finan
cial lass has been incalculable.”
He said the only unbroken link
between the islands and the main
land during the 11-month period
was Atlantic and Gulf Coast ship
ping.
