ALASKA FOREST OFFICIAL RE
PLIES TO YESTERDAY’S
DISPATCH
JUNEAU, July 30, (^—Regional
Forester Charles S. Flory said
there would be no cessation in de
velopments designed to bring
about the establishment of the
newsprint industry in Alaska and
that there is little reason to be
lieve any serious delay will be en
countered in the issuance of wat
er-power development licenses.
‘We are fully aware of the un
certainty of the status of the
r>ower commission and have been
for some time. However, we do not
believe it will affect licensing the
■water-power resources which li
censes have been applied for by
Cameron and Zellerbachs.
■‘We are going ahead with the
program without any uneasiness
for we feel assured it will go thru
as originally announced. The wat
ter-power situation is n it related
to the big power issue in the
States. Here, there are no ele
ments which involve matters of
national policy.
‘The sites sought by Cameron
and Zellerbaeh are relatively small
industrial units and are not now
or never can become necessary
for public utilities and are im
portant only as utilized in the de
velopment of Southeast Alaska
timber resources. Hence the power
commission will have no hesi
tancy in granting the applications
providing the field reports aie
favorable and the plan for devel
opment practical.”

UPSET BY GALE OFF NORTH
IRISH COAST
LONDON, July 30. i/P)—Britain’s
great airship R—ICO. after having
been forced off its course by storm
was more than 400 miles over the
Atlantic ocean on its way to Mont
real at 8 p.m. Greenwch time.
The calculations of her comm
ander and leader R. S. Booth as
to the route he would follow were
upset by a gale off the North Irish
coast. The storm suddenly moved
eastward directly across his pro
posed course but last radiograms
from the airship indcated that the
craft was being guided along the
great circle on the way to Canada
and directly above the route of the
big steamships
Bulletins from the dirigible in
dicated that the craft was proceed
ing at a speed of 60 mile: an hour
and is still expected to arrive in
Canada Thursday evening.
A speed of 55 miles an hour
was made during the first hours
of the voyage. Almost as soon as
the airship left Cardington the
weather situation off the North At
lantic began to change. The storm
moved eastward forcing the dirig
ible to buck heavy winds, but it
fought its way through to clearer
weather which is expected to hoi L
until Newfoundland is reaches;
here light trade winds will pro' -
ably be encountered.
