| Sen. Gruening Tells
Importance of Area
Redevelopment
Program to Alaska
Sen. Ernest Gruening, who with
his wife, spent the past three days
here spoke before Several Civic
groups and met with many indi
viduals.
In his talks to the people he
stressed the importance of the
; community taking steps immedi
ately to participate in the Area
Redevelopment program which is
to find' new industry suitable for
the re-employment of those people
in this are who are not working
or who only work part of the
year. He explained that these
projects are given federal aid up
to 65% with 10% from the state
and the balance from other
sources. These projects cannot be
temporary employment, but per
manent industry. He Stated that
Ketchikan already has its applica
tion in and Fairbanks is well
along the way toward getting
theirs approved.
Gruening compared Skagway
to Nome and told how it was being
rejuvenated with the building of
a road which will make it possible
to be an outstanding tourist town.
Nome is a natural tourist high
point, he told the Chamber, as
many people think of Nome
when they think of Alaska and
that industry must be developed
here to bring more to the Bering
Sea Coast. This next year should
be an outstanding year for tour
ism wife millions of people ex
pected to pour into Seattle for the
Century 21 World’s Fair and
many of which will continue on
to Alaska.
Tourism wiR aleo be amplified
when the ferries go into operation
and Nome must be ready when
that time comes next summer.
The development of the trans
Siberian flights will Ulso be an
other important development to
the tourist industry In the not too
distant future he prophesied.
Ninety-two years of colonialism
has held Alaska back, he ex
plained and 'tile voting delegation
in Washington not only has “to do,
but undo,” such as preventing the
dosing of Ladd Field, undoing the
action on duck spooling and many
other things atmedV to impede
development of the new state.
Senator and Mr« Gruening
missed the dedication of the
FHS Hospital at Kotzebue due to
weather and remained here yes
terday during the blizzard.
