JUNEAU COUPLE TO
START SMALL DAIRY
AT HAINES IN JUNE
The thriving community of Haines
will this spring taste fresh milk for
the first time in some five years.
A young Juneau couple, Mr. and
Mrs. Oeorge 3enesch. leave today
for the Lynn Car.al town to begin
work on starting a^small dairy com
prising six cows, to be located in an
abandoned mule barn at old Fort
Chilkoot.
The Benesches drove north over
the Alaskan Highway in August last
year and drove direct to Haines,
where George went to work for Lytle
and Green, construction firm pav
ing the Haines Cutoff. In November
he was made electrical engineer with
the Bureau of Reclamation in Jun
eau. His wife, Peggy, worked for the
Alaska Native Service here.
A small dairy once furnished milk
to Haines, but went out of business
near the end of Wond War II. The
Presbyterian mission, Haines House,
keeps a few cows, but is unable to
supply the town. So townfolks have
quaffed frozen milk from Seattle
which arrives monthly on an Alaska
Steamship company freighter.
Both raised on farms in Colorado,
i the opportunity for starting a dairy
j appealed to 26-year-old George and
■ his wife. A few months ago they saw
j their way clear to finance the oper
ation and made arrangements to
buy cows in Seattle and to take over
the old mule barn. They will live
on the post.
They hope in June to start fur
nishing some 70 quarts of raw un
separated milk a day for the town
of 400 persons. Later, they hope to
add to their herd and obtain equip
ment to separate and pasteurize
their product.
The couple's pickup truck an<
personal property were today loade::
aboard the freighter Coastal Ram
bler. George will ride the ship t<
Haines, with Peggy flying up vii
Alaska Coastal Airlines this after
noon.

POLITICAL SPLINTER
An Anchorage Times announce
ment of “a growing Republican
movement for the nomination of
Sen. Gunnard Engebreth of Anch
orage for Delegate to Congress" ap
aears to have aroused no enthus
iasm whatever among Republicans
elsewhere in the Territory.
"Purely a splinter movement,” is
the way one old-line Republican,
I a former member of the Legisla
ture, described the Engebreth flur
ry. “You will find,” he added, “that
this movement centers somewhere
between No. 446 and No. 820 on
Fourth Avenue in Anchorage. The
splinter may cause a little fester
ing around there, but I do not be
lieve the inflammation will spread."
He explained that No. 446 is the
address of the Bank of Alaska in
Anchorage, a bank headed by El
mer E. Rasmuson who lias aspira
tions to become Republican Na
tional Committeeman. And No. 820
is the address of the Anchorage
Times, headed by Robert Bruce
Atwood,' who has aspirations.
Chicago-born Gunnard Marshall
Engebreth came to Alaska ’034
and entered the Alask;. Native
Service as a teacher. After riding
out the tough depression years in
that berth, he went into the hard
ware business in Anchorage in 1940
and has made a tidy clean-up dur
ing the boom times of the past de
cade.
After serving on the Anchorage
Public Utilities Board, he entered
Territorial politics in 1946 and
edged out Stanley J. McCutcheon
by 307 votes for a Third Division
Senate seat.
, Last fall he was re-elected when
the Republicans in Alaska staged
an up-surge that paralleled the one
on the national scene. Engebreth
ran second in the Third Division
Senate race, 101 votes behind the
popular Gefrit “Heinie”’ Snider.
In the evenly divided 1949 Sen
ate, Engebreth inched his way into
the presidency on a compromise
between Republicans and Demo
crats and after a five-day deadlock.
In the 1951 Senate, with another
8-8 split in party membership, he
bulldozed his way back into the
same seat, with an assist from
Democrat William Beltz.
This did nothing to endear him
to a majority of the Republicans
in the 20th Legislature. Nor was
party harmony helped by Enge
breth's vote to seat a member af
the Democratic Precinct Commit
tee as Secretary of the Senate. And
Northern Notebook Galley 2 HH
his vote during the entire session,
mainly cast on the side of the
dwindling crowd of Gruening Dem
ocrats, widened the rift.
Engebreth’s adherence to the
Gruening gang gained him a place
on the new but perhaps Invalid
Board of Administration, but it
brought him little help on his own
legislative program, most of which
went by the board. He shed bitter
tears and squealed “double-cross"
when the Grueningites failed to
I support his bill providing for el
' ective ’Tational Committeemen—a
bill designed primarily to help
banker Rasmuson achieve his am
bition.
But the principal rift between
Engebreth and the larger portion
of the Alaska Republican Part?
started more than a year ago.
When Republicans from Ketchikan
to Nome woi'.t to Juneau for a
bury-the-hatchet gathering — a
gathering that laid the groundwork
for the Republican victories last
fall—Engebreth failed to show up.
And he became sharply and pub
licly critical of nearly everything
the Republican assembly ac
complished.
In view of these things, Enge
breth can scarcely be considered a
strong possibility for the Delegate’s
seat, even in the unlikely event
that he is nominated. Even in his
own home town, where there is
continual guerilla warfare among
both Republicans c.r.d Democrats,
he might run second best, and
elsewhere, from the present out-,
look, he could expect little support.
“Engebreth for Delegate?’’ said
a grizzled old Democrat, veteran of
many a hard campaign. “Well, if
the Republicans nominate him,
they'll have a stronger candidate
than if they put up Alexander
Baranof. But not much.”
Good news for Alaska’s trappers
comes from the Treasury Depart
ment in Washington, which disclo
ses that it is investigating charges
that forced labor is used to produce
Russian furs.
If this is found true, importa
tion of the furs will be banned.
For years Alaskan trappers have
protested the dumping of vast
quantities of Soviet-produced furs
on the American market, in dir
ect competition with their own
hard-won pelts.
Not long ago Russian crab meat
was barred from this country be
cause it is produced by convict and
forced labor.
The tariff act, according to the
Treasury Department, provides for
exclusion of goods manufactured
by forced or indentured labor only
when such products are produced
In the United States in sufficient
quantities.
Canned crab meat, it was felt,
is produced here in sufficient quan
tities to meet the demand.
Perhaps the United States, indu
ing Alaska, does not presently pro
duce all of the fur for which there
is a market in this country. But it
could easily do so.
Fur farming was once a con
siderable industry in Alaska. It no
doubt could be again if some pro
tection were afforcien the farmers
from unfair foreign competition.
The importation of Russian furs
is a double-barreled weapon. It
not only hurts our own industries
but provides the Soviets with U.
; S. dollars to use in building up
their war machine.
