ALASKA PLANNING COUNCIL
Juneau, Nov. 7, 1938.
Orderly development of Al
aska's natural resources in ac
cord with tried and accepted
methods of true conservation
was emphasized as imperative
for the future of the Territory by
the Alaska Planning Council at
its November meeting here.
It declared that “conservation
should be aggressively cham
pioned, and reservation vigorous
ly opposed.” In a four-day meet
ing, the Council analyzed reports
from seven Advisory Commit
tees and the Executive Staff’s
“Graphical Survey of Territor
ial Administration and of Basic
Industries.’”
Discussed Alaska Report
One of the highlights of the
meeting was the consideration
and discussion of the “Report of
the “Report of the Alaska Re
sources Committee." written last
December and made public by
the President early this year.
While the Council realizes the
value of this report, and express
ed its appreciation by resolution,
it has pointed out its incomplete
ness, and is now urging the Na
tional Resources Committee to re
open the Alaska study.
The Council has informed the
National Resources Committee,
which sponsored the Report, that
it agrees that data on which to
I
: base a broad plan for Alaska’s
| development is too incomplete
i and that a continuing long-term
study is needed. This, too, was
the view expressed by the Al
aska Resources Committee which
among other 'things said:
‘‘The development of Alaska is
a h’ng-time problem, and plans
w 11 nave to change to suit chang
irg -x.’ial conditions. This task,
a< we have explained, ought to
be entrusted to a permanent Al
aska planning agency the mem
bership of which reflects territor
ial and national interests.
Interests not Irreeoneilable
As it is now construed, the Al
aska Planning Council is quali
fied from that angle to assume
the task, and is, in fact, pursu
ing the studies begun a year ago
by the Alaska Resources Com
mittee. It would be glad to have
the active cooperation of the Na
tional Resources Committee in
all of its projects.
The Council set forth the view
that the territorial and national
interests are not and should not
be, regarded as either antagonis
tic or irreconcilable. Whatever
differences exist should not be
serious, and could be harmoniz
ed through sincere and friendly
cooperation.
The Alaska Planning Council
is not connected with the Nation
al Resources Committee, except
to the extent of certain limited

It had no part in the preparation
of the latter’s widely discussed
report. It is strictly a local body,
created by the Territorial Legis
lature and its members were ap
pointed by the Governor, who is
an ex-officio member himself.
% Reports Are Preliminary
Reports prepared by the sever
al committees are preliminary in
nature and will be made the
basis of future studies. From
them will be prepared the Coun
cil's report to the Legislature.
Included in the reports were
those on Land Use, Mineral Re
sources and Mining, Fisheries,
Public Works, Transportation
nd Communication Education,
and Administration.
Until authorized by the Legis
1 ure, none of the committee re
ports will be made public.
However, it is planned shortly
to release for publication the
staffs graphical survey. This
c rprises sixteen graphs, with
explanatory text, covering all
phases of territorial revenues
and disbursements, and, also, the
fishing mining and wild life re
1 sources.
Tax Study in Progress
The Council, it was announced,
has obtained the services of
James C. Rettie, research econ
omist through the cooperation of
the National Resources Commit
tee, for a comprehensive study of
territorial taxation.
Mr. Rettie is on the staff of the
National Resources Committee
and is regularly assigned to the
Pacific Northwest Regional Plan
ning Commission as Associate
Consultant, with headquarters at
Portland. Last year he made a
tentative analysis of Alaska tax
ation.
He arrived here on November
1 and will remain all this month
continuing his work.
300 AMATEURS; RADIO
MEN, 500; COM. STATIONS
--
The old mukluk telegraph had
its day—and it was good in its
way—but Alaska of 1938. rapidly
modernizing, uses more radio
telegraph and radiophones than
any other region under the Am
erican flag.
Spanning vast distances and
linking lonely outposts with pop
ulation centers, radio helps make
one big family of Alaskans.
There are more than 500 com
mercial stations, radiophone and
; radio-telegraph, and 300 amateur
stations in Alaska, Stacy W. Nor
man, inspector for the Federal
Communications Commis s ion,
said in Fairbanks. These totals
include the aeronautical stations,
but do not include the stations of
the Alaska Communications Sy
stem of the Signal Corps.
On his first trip in the Interior,
Mr. Norman came to Fairbanks
recently, then went to the Se
ward Peninsula, Kotzebue Sound
and Norton Sound to inspect ra
dio stations. He called on radio
operators at Nome, Kotzebue,
Deering, Candle, Koyuk, Unala
kleet, and Ungalik before re
turning to Fairbanks.
Besides the routine inspection,
he helps the radio operators with
information on FCC regulations
and in straightening out difficult
ies of schedule arrangement and
service. He has spent 10 years in
the service of the Commission,
and his present headquarters are
at Juneau.
In addition to the Signal Corps
commercial, aeronautical and
amateur stations in Alaska, there
are three other radio broadcast
ing establishments: KFQD, An
chorage; KINY, Juneau; and
KGBU, Ketchikan.
A fourth may be added to this
list in 1939, Fairbanksans hope.
A construction permit has been
granted by the Federal Commun
ications to the Midnight Sun
Broadcasting Co. for the estab
lishment of a station in Fair
banks, call letters KFAR. Tenta
tive plans call for a transmitter
station three miles out of town,
and studios on 'the fourth floor of
the Lathrop Building, above the
News-Miner and Alaska Miner
offices. —Fairbanks News^Miner
OTTOWA, Nov. — It is un
likely that a cabinet meeting
will be called before Christmas,
it was announced, but it was be
lieved it would be called to ses
sion shortly after the New Year.
