CHAMBER FAVORS
TAX INCENTIVES
FOR INVESTORS
The Juneau Chamber of Com
merce today took a stand in favor
of a measure which would encour
age investment in Alaska by taxing
only those profits repatriated to the
United States proper.
The action was taken after a tele
gram had been received from an un
disclosed source notifying the
Chamber that an attempt would
be made to include Alaska in a
measure designed to create incen
tive for investment and re-invest
ment of American private capital
abroad.
The measure was proposed by
President Truman and the Secre-1
tary of the Treasury.
In a telegram to Senator Walter
George, the Chamber stated it was
not sufficiently informed of the
specific proposal, but said it would
“generally favor legislation designed
to give tax incentives necessary for
private industrial development of
Alaska and respectfully urge your
favorable consideration of such le
gislation.”
Speaking on the subject of in- J
dustrial development in Alaska, B.
Frank Heintzleman, regional for
ester, told of the need for higher
production of lumber in Alaska.
More Mills Needed
He called attention to the large
military and civilian construction
projects in Alaska and the demand
for lumber in the United States—
“higher than ever,” and said that
the Chambers of Commerce in
Southeast Alaska must take action
to encourage the establishment of
more large mills in this area.
Southeast Alaska produces about
60 million board feet of lumber per
year, he said; and it should pro
duce three or four times that
amount.
“At least two more mills, as
large as the one in Ketchikan, are
needed in Southeast Alaska," he
said.
A possible basis for establishment
of new mills will be provided by
the Forest Service, which will srfon
call for bids on a stand of timber
at Edna Bay on Kosciusko Island,
60 miles west of Wrangell. About
210 million board feet of timber a/e
contained in the stand, Heintzle
man said.
Heintzleman returned from
Washington, D.C., two weeks ago.
He spoke today of action taken at
the national capital which affects
Alaska.
The Forest Service cooperated
with Senators regarding revisions of
the Statehood Bill, he said. It re
dommended giving 71 and one-half
percent of the gross receipts from
the national forests in Alaska to
the state, instead of national forest
land.
This is a better deal than receiv
ing land, Heintzleman said, because
the state would receive its share of
the receipts without having to pay
any of the cost of administering
the forests.
A letter was read to the Chamber
from a Senator who stated that it
was doubtful that the Lemke Bill
would be considered.
Heintzleman pointed out that the
Department of Agriculture was the
only public agency which opposed
the bill. The measure provided for
giving veterans more than 1,000
acres of Alaskan land each.
The Chamber of Commerce op
posed the bill.

iMiss Ruth McGrew Is Hon
; ored by Local Group
Returns to Anchorage
Big conventions are a lot of work
members of the Business and Pro
fessional Women's Club learned
Tuesday night from Miss Ruth
McGrew, of Anchorage, President
of the Territorial federation BPW
Miss McGrow, enroute to her
home after attendance at the 10th
biennial convention of the national
federation in San Francisco, was
guest of the Juneau club at a
buffet supper Monday night at the
home of Mrs. Elton Engstrom. (
Mrs. Kate Smith, President ol j
the Juneau BPW, presided at the I
meeting following dinner and the!
forty club members present heard
Miss McGrew'S convention report.
Breakfast at seven o'clock every
morning, daily “work shops" on 1
parliamentary procedure, member- j
ship and finance, adoption of a I
legislative platform, attendance at j
teas, receptions, banquets, the San j
Francisco Symphony and lectures j
and addresses bj- famous people
kept the 3,000 delegates to the con
vention almost too busy, according
to Miss McGrew.
In addition to all of this, Miss
McGrew. wearing a handsome white
parka, appeared in a television in
terview.
Size of the BPW club is indicated j
by the fact tlrat the 3000 delegates j
represented 155,000 members from;
every state in the union, from Al- !
aska, Hawaii and the District of '
Columbia. Miss McGrew was Al- 1
aska's only delegate due to the I
injury of Mrs. Bertha Ellingen,
Juneau delegate, in a bus accident ,
prior to the convention date, and 1
the necessity of return to Juneau
for Mrs. Gladys Vuille.
Though Alaska had only one
delegate, the Territory was well
represented at the western division’s
regional dinner with favors, liter
ature on Alaska furnished by the
Alaska Steamship Company and
Pan American World Airways, Al
aska cotton corsages, totem pole
place cards, carved ivory souvenir
key rings and other numerous
mementoes of the north.

orial writer of the New York Her
ald Tribune, as speaker for labor
and Win. S. Rosecrans, Vice Pres
ident, Chamber of Commerce of
the United States, representing bus
iness. Dr, Smith maintained that
“so long as the spirit of good
sportsmanship prevails in politics,
we need not worry about the size
of government.” Mrs. Herrick: "Big
Labor can make an important con
tribution to the necessary solutions
to present day problems, but will
have to surrender some of their
present privileged position to do so."
For business, Mr. Rosecrans said,
"The real key to the growth of bus
iness of this country has been
competition."

COMMITTEE HOPES
5. A. FUND DRIVE
TO REACH GOAL
Substantial progress is reported
this week by B D Stewart, chair
man of the 1950 Salvation Army
Community Service Fund Drive who
asserted the committee has ever;,'
hope that the fund will "go over
the top" with flying colors.
The objective of $4,500 was placed
by the army's advisory committee
ns a conservative minimum with
which this organization should be
expected to conduct its work for a
full year. The latest report cave re
ceipts as being $3.108 48. leaving
slightly more than $1,300 ns the
amount still required.
Need for its activities in Juneau
is real. Stewart added The broad
humanitarian services rendered
with quiet efficiency day after day
he said, justify a "cash vote of con
fidence.”
Farewell services are to be con
ducted Sunday in the Salvation
Army Hall, for Senior Captain and
Mrs. Lorenzen and their family.
Having been appointed to become
officers in charge of the work in
Salt Lake City. Lorenzen stressed
his interest in closing up the cam
paign successfully before leaving
Alaska.
Moreover. Major Eric Newbould
has been called for the 1950 tem
porary tour of active duty as a
member of the Chaplain Corps. U S.
Army, and has not been able lo
fully participate in the present cam
paign. Hence. Chairman Stewart
suggested that ail who intended to
include the Salvation Armv in their
benevolences send a contribution
direct, to Post Office Box 2931, or
to Advisory Board Treasurer Don
Skuse. Box 2069. in event a mem
ber of the solicitation committee
had not called.
The open doors of the Hed Shield
Reading Room and Social Center
offer a beacon light. Lorenzen said,
to the stranger. The service of the
Salvation Army has ever been a
fine influence and help to the man
in military service. And yet, these
phases of the program are but a
part of the objectives and accom
plishments of the organization
which are imbedded in the hearts
of people the world over.
