Alaska Has First
Charitable Trust
ANCHORAGE. Alaska had
what is believed to be its first
public charitable trust project to
day—a gift from Z. J. Loussac,
retired druggist.
Immediately available to the
LrfHissac foundation will be an es
timated interest in the $630,000
fiffice building now being com
pleted.
Under terms of the druggist’s
will, the foundation also will re
ceive revenues from all his prop
erties, including buildings in the
business district and an apartment
house.
Loussac coupled his gift with
the assertion “everything I earned
came from here—I want it used
here.”
He came to Alaska in 1907.

Berlin Elections
RejeetComnuinism
(By RICHARD KASISCHKE)
BERLIN, (/P) — Virtually com*
I plete returns today showed that
t the citizens of Berlin sharply re
buffed the Russian-sponsored So
cialist Unity (Communist* party
in election for city and borough
council.
The Social Democrats party
won 48.7 percent of the tabulated
votes and the Christian Democrats
took second place with approxi
mately 22 per cent.
The Socialist Unity party, which
was formed in the Russian zone
by merging the Communist and
social Democrats parties, ran third
with about 19.8 per cent.
The balloting was in all four of
Berlin’s occupation zones for part
ies, and not for individual candi
dates. City and borough councils
will be selected on a proportional
basis. The new council will re
place the city government estab
lished last year by the Russians
when the Red army was the only
military force present.
Fourth in the voting was the
Liberal-Democrat party with 9.5
per cent of the vote.
Social Democrats leaders said
they were surprised at the extent
of their plurality and that they
had expected to win only 40 per
cent.
The Social Democrats stand for
socialization of industries. The
second ranking Christian Demo
crats are staunch advocates of
private property rights. The So
cialist Unity party also espoused
socialization of industries, advo
cating wide expropriation of prop
erties belonging to persons they
call “war criminals, big Nazis and
capitalists,” a means opposed by
the Social Democrats.”
In the era before Alaska Airlines’ big,
multi-engine Starlincrs went into service,
the task of moving a dragline to a new
location was a tremendous one, often
involving sledge, riverboats, and ship
ment Outside and back.
Now, moving day for a mine means
hours insteod of months, thanks to the
mighty carrying capacity of the Stor
liaers.
Not everyone in Alaska moves mines.
But nearly all Alaskans ship something,
even if it’s only a tiny package. And
experience has shown that shipment by
Alaska Airlines is the swiftest, surest
means of transport available.
All Starliners carry air-freight on sched
uled runs. Special aircraft are available
for specialized moving jobs. Contact your
nearest Alaska Airlines agent for rales.
