Gruening Asks
For Pulp And
Paper Mills
WASHINGTON, </P>—Governor
Ernest Gruening of Alaska urged
the House agriculture committee
Monday to approve a bill to per
mit establishment this year of
newsprint plup and paper mills in
the Territory.
The measure would authorize
the Secretary of Agriculture to
sell timber of unpatented, unoccu
pied lands within the Tongass Na
tional Forest in Southeastern
Alaska. It would permit the sec
retary of the interior to sell such
unoccupied and unpatented lands
as are needed on which to estab
lish paper mills and processing
plants.
Money received would be im
pounded in the treasury until any ;
claims of Alaskan natives for pos
session of lands in the forest,
which the government claims to
own, have been settled in courts.
! The governor said pulp and pa
per mill interests are ready to
start construction now if Congress
will dicoose of the controversial
question of land claims. The legis
1 lation, it was explained, would
hold all such claims in abeyance
until Congress next session can
|
\ determine a procedure for acting
•' on them. The suits for the land,
which interior department repre
| sentatives said may represent
| about one tenth of the 15,000.000
] acre area, then would be filed at
, one time and decisions made in
one suit.
j “Allow us to start the pulp and
paper industry and you will be do
ing a wonderful thing for us,” he
I told the committee. “The natives
| will be the chief losers if this pro
I iect does not go through.”
James E. Curry, Washington at
i torney representing the Alaskan
! natives, obtained postponement of
i further hearings until he can con
! fer with prospective timber pur
chasers and government officials
on Detecting the rights of Alas
j ’-ans who may have a title claim
! on any of the national forest lands.

Primary Election
Ballots Stolen
KANSAS CITY, (/P) — Primary
election ballots checked by a
county grand jury in its investiga
tion of alleged vote frauds were
reported missing today from the
vault of the Kansas City board of
election commissions.
Ludwick Graves, chairman of
the board, said both doors of 4S
«
large storage vault in the conn'*'
courthouse had been pried open
and “three ballot boxes containin'
ballots checked by the grand jury
have been opened.”
“One of the boxes,” he added
“is definitely empty.”
The county grand jury, which
completed its term last night, re
turned a total of 81 indictments
against 71 persons, and recom
mended a complete recount of all
ballots in the race for the Demo
cratic nomination for representa
tive in Congress from the fifth
district of Missouri last August.
“It is our belief.” the grand
jury report said, “that Roger C.
Slaughter in this race was de
prived of the nomination by a
fraudulent miscount of votes and
other4 types of fraud.”
Slaughter, running for re-elec
tion, was defeated by Enos Axtell
who was endorsed both bv Presi
dent Truman and James M. Pen
dergast, head of a Kansas City
Democratic faction. Axtell was
defeated in the general election by
Albert M. Reeves, Republican.

Ford Motor Co.
Gives Pav Boosts
J
DETROIT, <JP)—The Ford Mo
tor Co. today offered 130,000 CIO
production workers the equivalent
of a 15 cent an hour wage in
crease and simultaneously boosted
20.000 salaried employees 10 per
cent.
The boost in salaries was lim
i*?d to those making less than
51.000 monthly and becomes ef
fective June 1, the company said.
The offer was worded in such
a way as to exclude 3,800 striking
foremen as long as they were not
covered by a contract.
The proposal to the CIO UAW,
which has threatened strike action
after three weeks of negotiations,
was conditioned on their accept
ance of their old contract virtual
ly intact except for wage issues.
It provided an MVz cent hourly
wage boost plus six paid annual
holidays, identical with the pat
tern established in settlements
with General Motors Corp. and
Chrysler Corp.
There was no immediate union
comment.
