islation.
Rep. Richard Harless, D.-Ariz.:
“Alaska is of primary importance

Paper And Pulp
Legislation
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Legisla
tion under which a newsprint in
dustry may be established in
Southeast Alaska was signed today
by President Truman.
It permits sale of timber in the
Tongass National Forest to news
print manufacturing companies.
The forest service of the agri
culture department is given au
thority to provide the paper com
panies with a steady source of
wood, harvested in the Tongass
preserve on a sustained yield ba
sis.
Endorsing the bill before Con
gress, forest service officials es
timated it would open the way for
construction of five $30,000,000
paper mills in Alaska. The forest
service predicted each mill would
create a town of 6.000 or more
population.
The bill stipulates that money
from the sale of Tongass timber
will be held in the U. S. treasury
until claims of native Indians to
parts of the land are settled. In
dians of Southeast Alaska have
opposed the legis’~t;on .

Bryant, Kentucky’s young foot
ball coach, at first glance appears
. to have scored the south’s greatest
■ victory since Bull Run.
A tentative roster of 48 fresh
j man gridders lists 27 “Yankees,”
; including nine from Pennsylvania
and ten from West Virginia. In
fact, he got an entire “all-state”
backfield from the latter state and
a dozen others made various
“honor” teams.
Bryant, younger at 33 than sev
eral of his assistants, started a 10
year contract for the Wildcats
last year by winning seven games
—more than any of his southeast
ern conference predecessors.
To go with those 48 yearlings,
Bryant has 28 lettermen and about
20 reserves from last year, which
ought to rank his team fairly close
to the top this fall. That’s why
