A. Polet reported on the tourist
committee that estimated thou
sands were turned away from
Alaska for want of transportation
and hotel accommodations and
hundreds were turned away from
Nome last summer.
He proposed that winter tour
ists be encouraged and a program
be set up fo rthem as it would be
most beneficial to the economy of
the country, and Alaska has much
to offer tourists in the winter com
parable to Switzerland and the
Scandinavian countries.

out an extensive program, they

Hopkins of the U. S. Geological

son why Nome should not be the ,
number one spot in Alaska for
tourists as it has so much to offer
and he gave several suggestions on
the subject from the viewpoint of
a potential tourist.
Ted Duffield reported on his
study of the Alaska Development
Corp. as proposed by the depart

that in his opinion the passage of
I such a bill would be most detri

However, he also stated that
the proposed billion dollars for
the enterprises should be sought
for the various necessary projects
j such as water power, etc., to be
administered through loans to in
dividuals and Alaskan companies
at low intertst rates. This would
be more directly beneficial to the
people of the Territory.

not received official notice that he
was being relieved.
Among some navy men there
was clear evidence of anger over
what they regarded as this dis
courtesy to the admiral.
There was also no word as to
who will succeed Denfeld in the
top navy post, or as to what du
ties may be offered to Denfeld.
Charles G. Ross, Presidential
press secretary, told a news con
ference he had no information on
that.
Ross also said, in reply to a
question, that the White House
had received no messages over
night protesting Denfeld’s remov
al.
Denfield’s aides said that at
least 1,500 telegrams had arrived
by this morning for^him, but that
the admiral had not had a chance
to read them. Telephone lines into
his office were jammed with in
coming calls, they said.
When Denfeld arrived at his of
fice. a Marine sentry told him
that a number of men were outside
"to pay their respects.”
Denfeld told the sentry to let
them in.
The door opened and the 250
saliors in their blue uniforms be

large room.
A spokesman for the group told
Denfeld:
"Admiral, when you are Presi
