TIME SEEMS RIPE
FOR PUSHING TAX
INCENTIVE BILL
Alaska Development Cor
Alaska Industrial Cor
Says Alaska Must Ad
The time seems ripe for an effort
to push tax incentive legislation for
Alaska through Congress, S. J.
Nusbaum. secretary of the Alaska
industrial Corporation, told the
Chamber of Commerce today.
He stressed, however, that or
ganizations in Alaska will have to
take the initiative in forwarding
action on such a law. He said the
corporation he represents has al- j
ready appeared before the Senate
Finance Committee and has had its j
ideas on tax incentives for the Ter
ritory well received.
The Alaska Industrial Corpor
ation has been working for two
years toward developing a pulp mill
near Sitka.
“We have solved all the difficul
ties ^except the financial ones,” he
said, referring to the development
of the proposed mill. He indicated
that the job of securing investment
capital for establishing the mill—
and other large new industries in
this area—would be infinitely easier
if theer were sohie outstanding ad
vantage in risking money on Alas
kan industry.
He suggested liberalized credit
and tax incentives as the answer
and said that his company was only
interested in such tax incentives
for new industries on the “Federal
and corporate level” and not as in
Puerto Rico.
„•» small incentive to new busi
ness is included in the Territorial
property tax law, he said, but "com
pared with Federal taxes, Terri
torial taxes are only a drop in the
bucket."
Nusbaum said the work of the
corporation on tax incentives for
Alaska was done out of self-inter
est, but the passing of a tax in
centive measure would benefit the
entire Territory.
"We think that Alaska is an
economically underdeveloped area
and therefore what the Federal gov
ernment does for underdeveloped
foreign areas (through the Presi
dent’s point four program! it should
at least do for Alaska,” he said.
"We have done spadework; we
have information, data, and good
will to which you are welcome,” he
told the Chamber. "But the in
itiative will have to come from
here.”
Nusbaum said that judging from
conversations corporation repre
sentatives had with -officials in
Washington, they felt that with
proper boosting there is a good
chance of a special tax incentive
bill for Alaska being put through
Congress.
As far as liberalized credit was
concerned, Nusbaum said RFC loans
at present are too small to be use
ful in establishing large industries.
Roy W. Johnson, vice-presiident
of the Alaska Industrial Corpor
ation, and Charles Semal, indus
trial consultant, were also at the
meeting. ,
Chamber secretary F. O. Eastaugh
reported that the organization will
request a reconnaissance of the
proposed Taku River road.
Visitors at today's meeting were
Sydney Smith of Seattle, Dr. and
Mrs. H. J. Hodgins of Sitka, G. E.
Swanton of Petersburg, and J. Haw
thorne, Neil Moore and G. R.
Churchill.

ARNOLD HILDRE
SAVES BOY WHEN
MIRED IN SAND
Due to quick thinking and prompt
action of Arnold Hildre, local bus
iness man, a tragedy was averted
yesterday afternoon at the small
boat harbor where a dredge is j
pumping soft sand mto a fill be
side the harbor.
Young Johnnie Stewart, son of
Dr. and Mrs. John Stewart, and
a group of boys, were playing on
the new fill when Johnnie wander- j
ed out into the softer sand. He j
went in to his knees, then when he |
tried to return to safer ground j
found himself mired and going
deeper.
His frantic cries, and the cries
of his companions attracted the at
tention of Hildre who happened
to be passing the scene.
Hildre saw the lad’s danger at
once. He ran around the fill and
found a large plank and a rope
which he threw to the youngster to
tie around his waist. By the time
Hildre reached the boy the sand
j had sucked him down over his
j hip boots. Neighbors and passers
by watched anxiously as Hildre
made his way over the plank to the
youngster.
As a consequence of yesterday’s j
near tragedy, youngsters are warned j
to stay away from the new fill.

SALMON IN STREAMS
1 NEARLY WORTHLESS AS
FOOD, SAYS ANDERSON
Spawning salmon, gaff-hooked
from streams, are nearly worthless
as food, C. L. Anderson, director of
the Alaska Department of Fisheries
said today.
He made the statement after see
ing spawn salmon being taken from
streams near Juneau. The practice
is not prohibited by law in Alaska.
“When the salmon enter a stream
to spawn, they lose much of their
food value,” he pointed out. "The
fat content of the meat goes, the
protein percentage drops sharply,
and the water content increases."
He said spawn salmon also spoil
much more quickly than salmon
caught from salt water. This is
caused by the increased slime on the
fishes’ skin, he said.
He pointed out that taking sal
mon from streams is prohibited by
law in the state of Washington, but
to have such a law applied to Alaska
would require an act of Congress.
