MUSHIN’ THROUGH ALASKA
WASHINGTON, UB—'The Geor
gia Pacific-Alaska Co. has until
July 1, 1961, to complete plan
ning for a pulp and paper mill
near Juneau.
Even so, a memorial has been
introduced in the Alaska House
opposing any further extension of
planning time for the company.
“We are still hopeful that con
siderably before that time GP will
quality and we won’t have to meet
another extension issue,” said Ira
J. Mason, director of the Forest
Service Timber Management Di
vision, when told about the
memorial.
The company received a pre
liminary award to 7V4 million
board feet of timber in the Ton
gass National Forest in 1955.
Planning for construction and
financing was to have been com
pleted by July, 1958, but an ex
tension was granted hntil Jhne 30,
1961, Mason said.

Representative Ralph Rivers
has joined several Congressmen
in sponsoring a House resolution
calling for the United States to
formally extend its suspension of
nuclear weapons testing to the
end of 1960.
The suspension would be in
effect “so long as negotiations to
end nuclear weapons tests are
continuing and so long as no other
negotiating nation resumes tests,”
the resolution states.
“I don’t see this resolution as a
specific directive,” Rivers said,
“but rather as an expression
pointing to a general avanue lead
ing in the direction of a solution
of the world’s peace problem,”
Rivers said.

Speaking of shipping, Rep.
Thomas Pelly (R-Wash) believes
one-day passenger and freight
service by water between Seattle
and Alaska is not too far off.
Such high-speed water travel
would be possible by a hydrofoil
ship — a high-poweded vessel
that rises out of the water on
“wings” and skims over the
water at great speeds.
Pelly said an 80-ton experimen
tal model under construction
could handle about 100 pass|n
gers.
“I’ve been told the Russians have
a hydrofoil in operation on the
Volga that carries 150 passengers
and makes a 540-mile run in 14
hours,” Pelly said.
“Think of the increased.— and
improved — passenger and cargo
service between West Coast
ports and Alaska when we have
such vessels in operation,” Pelly
said.
