January, 1950 fly In? the sunt'
course, it is believed that the miss
ing CPA plane may have had a
crash mountain landing since no
subsequent message was received. If
the plane had gone down at sea,
it is thought that the pilot would
have time to have given a message.
The U. S. Weather Bureau flight
forecaster expected gradual im
provement of yesterday's soupy
weather conditions. He said slowly
lifting cloud ceilings would permit
closeup studies of deen floH' "ri'll
towering mountain peaks dotting
the Panhandle.
However, reports late this morn- |
ing were that weather conditions
were not improving as expected but
planes basing at Yakutat were slow
ly getting off the ground according (
to information received at Coast
Guard headquarters. Two Air Force
and one Coast Guard planes based
at Juneau were still grounded.
Passengers Aboard
Passengers listed by military
authorities as aboard the missing
aircraft included three civilians,
Audley Stephan, Trenton, N. J
Vernon E. Hersey, Mitchell, S. D.,
and Glenn R. Clauson, Seattle. No
further identification was available
from military authorities, but the,
Trenton Sephan’s wife reported her
husband was on his way to help the
Army with finance problems In Ok
inawa.
At Seattle, Clauson’s wife said
he was a Navy lieutenant during the j
last war as a Japanese specialist in
Navy Intelligence.
The civilians were attached to the
army and reportedly were on a Un
ited Nations mission.
Other passengers included 2G Am-,
erican servicemen, two from the'
Royal Canadian Navv. and a crew j
of seven Canadians, including two!
stewardesses.
The army officers aboard were Lt. j
Col. Jerome G. Sacks, Washington, j
D. C., Lt. Col. Eugene G. Hite, Ris- j
ing Sun, Md., and Capt. John S.
Gayle, Rehoboth Beach, Del.

Alaska newspapers as well a? |
newspapers throughout the States j
have beeh hit by the newsprint j
shortage. At least one Alaskan
paper has suspended because of the
shortage, and others have had to
curtail their sales.
This situation is particularly la- ;
mcntable in Alaska, which has the
timber to supply a large percent
age of the annual newsprint re
quirements of the United States.
Newspapers in the States and
Canada, in the interests of inter
national good will, recently relin
quished 9.550 tons of newsprint to
nelp publishers in Greece, India,
Malaya, Pakistan, the Philippines j
rnd Yugoslavia.
That is sufficient newsprint to |
seep all Alaska newspapers well
•upplied for several years. It would
represent, on the other hand, some- ;
thing less than a week’s production !
if Alaska were turning out news
print at full potential capacity.
The r. S. government is perhaps |
the largest single user of paper
and paper products in this country.
American paper manufacturers must1
now reserve a part of their produc
tion for government use.
The percentage of their paper
output that must be reserved for
the government varies for different j
grades. It runs from five percent
of total production of newsprint, j
sanitary tissue and absorbent pa
pers up to 25 percent of the total
output of crepe wadding for pack- j
ing. , i
The big demand for crepe wad
ding in government is unexplained.
It may be that new OPS regula
tions are packed in it to cut down ;
breakage.
Government efforts to conserve j
paper are well illustrated by an or
der issued not long ago by Oscai
B. Ryder, Chairman of the United
States Tariff Commission.
Under previous regulations it had
been necessary to submit five cop
ies of each cf certain applications
[or investigations by the Tariff
Commission. Chairman Ryder s oi
ler of June 20, 1951, makes it man
iatory that 15 copies of each such
implication be submitted in the fu
atre.
The statehood bill now pending
befere Congress raises a serious
question as to the future control |
of Alaska’s tidelands, according to j
the minority report on the mea
sure.
S. 50, the dissenting Senators as- I
sert, does not provide any precise
boundary for the new State other
than whatever language is contain
ed in the old treaty of annexation.*
“Certain amendatory language,” |
the minority report says, "has been I
inserted in section 4 which states
that the Federal Government shall
retain the right of ingress and eg- ,
ress from its lands across adjoin- |
ing lands which are subject to the
ebb and flow of daily tides.
• This language, when considered
in the light of the firm policy of j
the Interior Department to con- ,
trol Alaska, its lands and its re- .
sources, leaves no choice but to as- j
sums that the Department will con
strue the bill as retaining ccntiol
of the tidelands in the Federal .
Government.
“The amendment is cleverly wor
ded and the Department’s position
would probably be sustained by the
courts. Thus the proposed new State
and its people would be stripped
of their greatest potential asset.
Already there are growing indica
tions of bright oil prospects along i
the southern coast of Alaska. The
tidelands question might well be
come a matter of the most vital
concern to the new State and its
habitants.
"This is one of the many instan
s where the Congress cannot
il in its obligation to the Terii
ry. If the tidelands do not pass
the State but are retained in the
ntrol of the Federal Government, j
aat happens to all the Alaskans
so have developed homes, busines
s, etc., on the tidelands under the
eviously existing policy enunciated
• the Congress (in sec. 2 of the j
t of May 14, 1898, 30 Stat. 4091?
the trust policy established by
at act is to be repudiated by the
11 of admission, then the occu
ints of the tidelands in Alaska
,11 retain their occupancy after
atehcod at the whim of the In
rior Department.”
Federal Lands are now adminis
tered by more than 40 agencies,
and 16 agencies manage Federal
timber lands, according to Rep.
Russell V. Mack of Washington.
Rep. Mack, who is publisher of
the Hoquiam Washingtonian, told
the House that the United States
can become “land poor” by failing
to put government lands “into the
hands of private citizens who, by !
their labors and ingenuity, can con- j
vert it to its most productive use.”

better methods of handling gov
ernment lands is suggested by Rep.
Mack.
Another commission seems un
likely to solve the problem. Special
land study commissions and agen
cies have been created in the past.
Many of them have since been ab
olished, but far too many arc still
on the active list.
As the homesteaders and would
be homesteaders in Alaska have
learned to their sorrow, hacking
through the jungle of land regula
tions in order to get title to a piece
of ground is often a longer and
harder job than clearing the land
itself.
One more land agency, howevei
good its intentions, could only add
to the present difficulties.
A more practical approach to
land distribution would be to ab
olish at letfst a couple of dozen of
the presently existing land agen
cies and sub-agencies and to
streamline the procedures of the
others.

Alaska needs more, diversified industries. New enterprises
k in the Territory would mean more population, year-round
employment, a stabilized economy.
The Alaska salmon industry—historically the Territory's largest
and its heaviest taxpayer—has a personal stake in the future of Alaska.
For that reason, the industry would very much like to see these tiew
industries come to Alaska.
Because of extremely short periods when the runs of salmon
occur, the salmon industry is seasonal. Right now, for example,
the industry is preparing for the Southeastern season that opens
on August 6.
Only with new, diversified industry and its impetus on migration
*can Alaska really prosper. This is a real challenge that demands
action and encouragement from all of us.
