Records of Corporate
Profits and Personal
Income Described as Good
WASHINGTON -- Secretary
of Commerce Luther Hodges an
nounced Tuesday records for cor
porate profits and personal in
come. He described them as "not
entirely satisfactory but still
good.”
Hodges told a news conference
that before-tax profits of corpora
tions readied a peak annual rate
of $50.9 billion in the April-June
quarter. The January-March rate
was $50.1 billion and some ob
servers had been dubious that the
second quarter would be able to
show much of a gain because of
sluggishness in the economy.
Tb.e commerce chief also report
ed that personal income — the
income of individual Americans —
rose by $1 billion in August to
a record annual rate of 443 billion.
Hodges, while expressing the
view that he would have preferred
even stronger showings in profits
and income, said he foresees good
business at least through Christ
mas.
ARA Generates Nearly
30,000 New Jobs
Nearly 30,000 new jobs were gen
erated by Area Redevolpment Ad
ministration projects approved
during fiscal 1962 in areas of
chronic unemplyoment and under
employment, according to a report
last month by ARA Administrator
William Batt.
He said the agency invested $32.5
million in 76 job-generating proj
ects during the fiscal year, and
S24.2 million is in the form of
loans which will be repaid to the
Treasury, with interest. "This fed
eral investment has stimulated at
least $35 million additional local
private and public investment in
these same projects,” he added.
In addition, ARA has approved
87 technical assistance projects,
investing $3,375 million, and 141
training programs involving $5.8
million to train 9,576 jobless
workers.

Sleeping Sickness Cases
Rise to 177 In Florida
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. UP> —
The official count of the number
of sleeping sickness cases on
F’orida’s west coast rose to 177
Tuesday with the report of four
new cases.
Deaths stood at 16, with only
three of them reported outside
Pinellas County.
However, two suspected instances
of encephalitis, the formal name
for sleeping sickness, were report
ed Monday in Sarasota County, 50
miles south of Pinellas.
Dr. Harry Oard, who resigned
as head of the Communicable
Disease Department, came back to
work Monday. He had quit his
job without explanation but there
was considerable speculation that
he resented reported pressure by
tourist interests to keep the epi
demic out of the news.

2 Alaska 12\<iro
I Vo jccls Producing
12[,000 Kilowatts
By Fritz Wilti
Assm •- ted Press Sre ,tl Sr T>m
WASHINGTON .? Alaska has
a hydro-electric power potential
estimated at 19 million kilowatts
but less than one-fourth of 1 per
cent has been harnessed.
In the state with an area equal
to about one-fifth of the nation
then is but one federally financed
hydro project — the 30,000 kilo
watt Eklutna project, near An
chorage, which went on the line
in 1955.
These and other facts wort < / . :!
by Sen. E. L. Bartlett in i kin.,
congressional authorization of two
projects that would produce 124.''00
kilowatts in Alaska.
They are the Bradley Lain proj
ect on the Kenai Peninsuia near
Homer and the Snettisham prop. •
south of Juneau.
Sen. Ernest Gruening, Rep. Ralph
Rivers and Bartlett are working to
get the projects included in an
omnibus water project bill being
prepared by the Senate and House
Public Works Committees.
“Both projects have been clear
ed by the executive' agencies in
volved and are ready for author
ization," said Rivers.
64,000-Kilowatt Power Plant
One plan calls for a dam at the
outlet of Bradley Lake. Included
would be a tunnel and penstock
about 19,400 feet long and a 64,
000-kilowatt p o w e r plant on
Kachemak Bay. The estimated cost
is $45.7 million.
The Snettisham development
would include tunnels from Crater
and Long Lakes through which
water would plunge to produce an
eventual total of 60,000 kilowatts.
Three 20,000-Kilowatt Stages
The plan is for construction, in
three 20,000-kilowatt stages, over
a period of years at a cost of about
$41.6 million.
The Anchorage - Palmer - Kenai
area to be served by Bradley Lake
faces “an alarming power short
age,” said Bartlett in a statement
submitted to the Senate Public
Works Committee.
A power commission survey, he
said, indicates the Anchorage area
faces a 20,000-kilowatt shortage in
1965, that it will need 51,000
kilowatts more by 1970 and that
1980 need- are estimated at an
additional 153,000 kilowatts.
That part of Alaska has gr iwn
so fast that long-range planning
has "simply not been possible,"
said Bartlett. He cited these statis
tics:
Anchorage has grown from a
1939 village of 3,495 to a population
of 44 237 in 1960 and there have
been further increases since then.
The Greater Anchorage area has
seen a 158 per cent population
growth in the 10-year period which
ended in 1960.
Furthermore said Bartlett, an
Anchorage study says the city
serves as a trade center for 36 per
cent of the state’s population with
in a 30-mile radius.
Power demands in the Juneau
area, which would be served by
Snettisham, are also on the in
crease, said Bartlett.
In the 10-year period which end
ed in 1960, the city's population
jumped 14 per cent — from 4,956
to 6,797, and there is an estimate
of an average annual increase in
power requirements of 10 per cent
or more in the next several years.

"That an industry which re

he said. "In ordinary business such
