Alaska’s
Good Fortune
(The Seattle Times)
Enduring gocd fortune has
come to Alaska as a result of de
fense construction in the north
ern Territory. Large slims of
money expended there by the
Federal gvernment have brought
prosperity to Alaska; but more
important still are permanent
effects cf the defense program
that will be felt long after the
present emergency is over.
These are tidings brought to
Seattle by visitors familiar with
the whole story of Alaska's devel
opment.
A factor which has contributed
much to the growth of Alaska in
recent years is the airplane. Air
travel has opened up Alaska's
more inaccessible areas as no
thing else could have done, and
incidentally, brought them clos
er to Seattle. Fairbanks, up un
der the Arctic Circle, now is but
nine and a half hours away from
us
One thing the defense program
has done for the future of A as
ka has been to provide the best
air facilities, airports, radio sta
tions and weather reporting sta
tion that can now be designed.
There is nothing temporary
about these facilities — they are
permanent assets. They will give
commercial aviation an immense
further stimulus in the post-em
ergency time to come.
Alaska also is acquiring good
new roads, such as the 135-mile
Chuckaloon cut-off connecting
the Anchorage areas with the
Richardson Highway. City
streets, that formerly were mud
dy roads, are being paved. Good
permanent office buildings are be
ing built, comfortable houses are
going up.
Before the defense program be
gan. Alaska's new development
already was under way. as Gov.
Ernest H. Gruenir.g points out.
The 1940 census revealed a pop
ulation increase of 22.3 percent,
which was exceeded by only twO|
states of the Union.
The benefits which Alaska will
rece.ve from the defense activity;
extend in many directions. One
of these is toward Seattle. Seat
tle citizens rejoice in Alaska's
good fortune for the Teerritory's
own sake. But Seattle wi.l al-l
ways share in those benefits.
They make Alaksa a better cus
tomer.

Japan Denounces
Baseball as Alien
TOKYO. Aug. — The Toyama
Prrfecture Physical Culture As
sociation denounced base ball
“as an alien sport unsuited to
the genius of the Japanese."
Baseball has been the most pop
ular sport in Japan for many
years, since it was introduced
into the kingdom from the Unit
ed Stales. Japanese baseball gam
es attract hundreds of thousands
of fans each year.
The physical culture associa
tion suggested that a new game
in the Sumo or Japanese manner
be developed to replace basball
as a popular sport.
High Silk Hose
Price Condemned
WASHINGTON. D. C., Aug—
Price Commissioner Leon Hen
derson told Congress that any in
creases in the price of silk stock
ings now would "pretty general
ly characterize profiteering."
Resuming his testimony be
fore the House of Representativ
es Banking Committee. Hender
son declared the recent stoppage
of silk production could not just
ify any increase in prices of stock
ings now on shelves of retail
merchants.
It is generally conceded that
price control legislation will re
quire a definite statutory basis,
Henderson said.

GRANTED CORPORATIONS
TACOMA. Washington — Cor
porations in Washington and Al
aska which have been required

“The travel of selectees to plac

“The initial assignment of in

Induction Of
Guard Sept. 15
—
The Alaska National Guard
will be inducted into active duty
September 15, it was officially an
nounced in a telegram to Gover
. nor Ernest Gruening from Secre
tary of War Henry L. Stimson.
The order is to affect “all fed
erally recognized elements of the
, Fir-t Battalion. 297th Infantry of
, the National Guard of the United
, States of the Territory of Alas
, ka and all personnel of both the
active and inactive National;
Guard assigned thereto,” accord
, ing to the message from Secre
tary Stimpson.
The move will see control over!
approximately 300 guardsmen in!
Juneau. Ketchikan, Anchorage
and Fairbanks shift from the
Territory to the federal War De
partment one minute after mid
night on September 14.
10 Days Later
In less than 10 days after the
order becomes effective, the men
will leave for training bases at
Chilkoot Barracks or Fort Rich
1 ardson. Maj. Jesse E. Graham,
I Army instructor for the Alaska
1 guard units, said.
| During the period from Sep
I tember 15 until the men leave
for their training posts, complete
i physical examinations will be
! made of each man and prepara-'
| tions will be made for equipping
I the soldiers.
i “Due to poor armory facilities,
men living in Juneau may be per
mitted to sleep at home during
the preparation period before
leaving for the training base, pro
viding such arrangement does
not interfere with his military
duties,” Major Graham said. Men
from outside Juneau will be pro
vided with bunks in the armory,
he added. The company will be
fed in local restaurants.
Transportation
Although no definite arrange- j
ments have been made as yet for
transporting men to the training
bases, it is hoped that a boat
will be available to pick up Com
pany B at Ketchikan, then pro
ceed to Juneau whe Company A
would embark on the same ship
for Chilkoot Barracks. If commer
cial transportation vessels can
not make space available for thet
troop movements, Coast Guard j
boats may be used, Major Gra-i
ham believes.
Headquarters and medical de-i
tachments from Juneau will go
to Fort Richardson, where Com
pany C, from Fairbanks, and
Company D, from Anchorage
will be stationed.
According to the order for mus
tering out the troops, the guards
men are to spend approximately
13 weeks in training camps for
basic training. Where they will
go from there is not known,
Major Graham said.
Train Selectees
The National Guard units will
act as a training staff for selec
tees from the Territory, who will1
begin moving to camp about the
15th of October, it is planned.
Selectees who registered in
the States and are now in Alaska
will be sent to training camps
when they are eligible for induc
tion from their home commun
ities, it has been announced.
Those sent from communities
west of Yakutat will go into the
Fourth Infantry at Fort Richard
son, while those from all other
Alaska locations will go to Chil
koot Barracks.
U. S. TO ASK RUSSIA
FOR COAST BASES
TOKYO, Aug. — The Japanese
Navy’s official spokesman predict
ed that the United States will
seek bases on Russian soil and
said in that event “Japan could
not remain unconcerned” since
she considers such bases in the
Far East a threat to herself.
The spokesman, Commander
Hiraide, writing in a popular
magazine, said America probab
ly will demand bases on Russia’s
far eastern coasts in return for
aid in her war against Germany.
He asserted the Soviet govern
ment faces a fate like that of
the “refugee Chinese govern
ment.” Chungking revolts are
likely to break out in various
places and the Soviet union is
leading the establishment of
many local governments.
