A recent news release to the ef
fect that plans are underway to set
up a colony of displaced persons
from Europe on the Kenai Penin
sula show’s the crying need for an
investigation into the present sys
tem of public land management.
While hundreds of American
veterans, displaced by the same
war, are right here in Alaska and
anxious to take up homesteads,
the government responds to their
need by withdrawing tens of thou
sands of acres of the best land.
Time and again the Department
of the Interior has advertised the
Kenai Peninsula as the garden
spot of Alaska. Yet it continues
to withdraw the land while it
cries for more and more develop

The government warns home-,
steaders that they should have a
substantial amount of capital in or
Cier 10 ue successiui, approximately
$3,000. How could it be that people
strange to the country could go
into a wilderness with less capital
than American veterans? Displaced
persons would have to be sutafii
dized. How could veterans compete
with subsidies?
We believe there could be room
for the displaced persons and
American veterans, too. But the
government should not be permit
ted to withdraw the land from men
who served their nation, and give
it to strangers.
During an evening of cards at
the home of Mr .and Mrs. Leo
Douglas, Mrs. Hal Gilfilen was
dealt a pinochle hand with a
count of 1500 and 1000 aces. Even
with such a high scoring hand, it
was said, Mrs. Gilfilen failed to re
ceive the high score of the even
