Alaska’s Forest Lands
In Good Condition,
Insect Activity Low
JUNEAU, Iff)—Alaska’s forest
lands are generally pretty healthy
this season, thank you.
W. F. McCumbridge, entomolo
gist for the Alaska Forestry Re
search Center, reports forest in
sect activity at a low level.
These are some of the infesta
tion highlights he reported:
Black-headed budworm infesta
tion covered more than 6 million
acres in the northern part of the
Tongass National Forest, but it
was 10 million acres less than
1953. The nuisance died out in
the southern Tongass section and
the Yakutat area. Some hemlock
kill has resulted but it is not con
sidered any substantial economic
loss to date. The budworm was
found also over about 400,000
acres of the Glacier Bay National
Monument, with some defoliation
but little damage.
Alder-covered slopes in the Val
dez area have been defoliated as
a result of a looper, but there has
been no permanent damage.
The Soo Canals between Lake
Superior and Lake 'Huron is some
times called the “billion dollar
mile.”
Mae West at 61 Still Able to Thrill
Reporter in Boudoir Interview
By JAMES BACON
HOLLYWOOD, IJV-Mae West,
the gal with the body in neutral
and the hips in overdrive, invited
me into her boudoir.
She wore only a negligee. I
wore sport coat, flannel slacks
and a red face. It was an inter
view.
And as George Gobel might say,
you can’t hardly get them kind of
.interviews anymore. The occasion
was Mae’s opening Tuesday night
at the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas.
This is her second time there in
three months and at 25,000 a
week.
A Sahara spokesman discloses
she is the spot's number one draw
and oddly enough draws more
women than men. Mae, at 61, is
the greatest ego booster for ma
ture women since the invention
of the girdle.
Her apartment is furnished in
white and gold throughout, even
to the carpeting. Everything, in
cluding furniture and rugs, is
curved.
Curviest of all is a nude paint
ing and a nude sculpture of Mae.

Her bed, a symphony in satin,
is swan-shaped with mirrors
above and behind it. The whole
Louis XIV decor could best be de
scribed as voluptuous and frivo
lous.
“I just told the decorator to
match my personality,” explained
Mae in a weekend interview.
Mae gave me that famous glance
and commented:
“Let’s have the interview in the
bedroom so you can tell your
grandchildren how you spent an
hour in Mae West’s boudoir, tak
ing notes.”
Mae stretched herself on the
bed while she talked to me. Now
only a real square could take
notes under such circumstances.
Here’s mine:
What does Mae think about the
Dior look?
“It looks good on Dior.”
Is Liberace your kind of man?
“The guy’s got a lot of charm.
I could go for someone that
charmin’. In fact, I see good in
every man. That’s why I’m not
married.”
How does she keep so youthful
looking?
I walk two or three miles a day,
eat lots of proteins and never
think about anything that might
bother me.”
5 Children Die in Fire
CLEVELAND, UPI—Five children

ly were suffocated in their sleep.
