Future Never Was
Brighter for Nome,
First City of Alaska
Joe Flakne of the Labor Rela
tions Department o fthe U. S. En
gineers, accompanied by Mr. Gil
lette who heads the labor divi
sion for the U. S. Engineers in
the Portland area, were invited
by the Chamber of Commerce to
an open meeting on what the fu
ture holds for Northwestern Alas
ka, from their point of view.
Flakne, who is a graduate of
the University of Alaska, and is a
member of the Pioneers of Alaska,
used a polar route map as he re
vealed the future of this area,
which he predicted never was
brighter. He drew a line from the
big world markets of Europe to
the Orient, and explained that be
fore we realize it, all shipping of
heavy freight will be under the
polar ice, and the shortest route
to the Orient is via the Bering
Straits, which route cuts off more
than 3,000 miles from the present
sea lanes of transportation.
The experiment at Cape Thomp
son is a must, because when it is
proven successful, places like
Nome will be able to have a deep
harbor for the transpolar route.
Speaking of resources, Flakne
stated that the Japanese need our
resources, and ours is the nearest
coal, iron, timber and other min
erals source of supply, and be
cause this route cuts off trans
portation costs, is the most desired
by Japanese business.
Flakne foresees a refinery in
the Kenai for the same reason.
Speaking on tourism, Flakne
urged Nomeites to think big, and
reihember that they have the best
climate of any state in the union,
no crowds on the beaches, no
bugs, ants, spiders, snakes and
other such things to mar a per
fect holiday. He praised the North
Star Hotel for excellent accommo
dations, and the dining room, as
well as the view, and reminded
Nomeites they have the finest
scenery of any state.
He said that in the minds of
the majority of people every
where, Nome is the “First City of
Alaska.”

Dorcas Dazzles.
Capitol Bigwigs
By FRITZ WITTI
Associated Press Special Service
WASHINGTON, UFi — Dainty
Dorcas Brower, a 20-year-old Es
kimo beauty borh on an Alaskan
reindeer' ranch, dazzled some
mighty important members of
Congress at a recent luncheon in
her .honor.
Among the Senatorial guests at
the luncheon, held in the Capitol’s
old Supreme Court chamber, was
Sen. Hubert Humphrey, who re
cently withdrew as a candidate
for the Democratic ’ Presidential
nomination.
Humphrey, to whom words
come'easy, said he couldn’t find
time to attend the luncheon pro
per — but he made an appear
ance. He explained:
“I wanted to meet this lovely
girl, who is certainly food for the
spirit.”
Dorcasj. who blushed happily at
the comments concerning her at
tractiveness, was squired to the
luncheon by the Alaska Congres
sional delegation — Senators Er
nest Gruening and Bob Bartlett,
and Rep. Ralph Rivers.
Dorcas, who interrupted her
studies of anthropology at the
University of Alaska, currently is
on a 35-city tpur to plug a movie
of “Ice Palace.” Dorcas plays a
featured role in the movie. Of
her own acting ability, she says:
“I should have done better, I
know, but it’s been a wonderful
experience.”
She is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Tom Brower, of Barrow,
and granddaughter of Charles
Brower, author of the Alaskan
classic, “Fifty Years Below Zero.”
She was taken to meet Senate
■Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson,
who came off the Senate floor to
say he was pleased to meet her.
Dorcas gave a souvenir Alaska
“Golden Dollar” to him. Johnson,
in return, gave . her a ball-point
pen.
Bartlett, happy at her triumph,
said:
“This has been one of the most
delightful experiences I’ve had in
my 16 years in Washington. Dor
cas is an admirable and beautiful
representative of Alaska.”
“This is certainly a welcome
change from the usual legislative
day,” said Rivers. “Alaska can be
proud of this lovely young lady."
Gruening, who beamed* as he
introduced Dorcas to the many
legislators, had to cut short his
visit to make a Senate speech.
Between bejpg led from one
guest to another, Dorcas managed
to make these observations:
“I’m used to having a mile-long
backyard. It’s amazing to realize
that people live so jammed to
gether in the cities down here.
“I’m kept busy almost all the
time now on his tour but I get
ah occasional weekend for a little
rest and personal life.
“I get pushed and pulled around
a lot, but really I’m enjoying it.
I feel it’s part of the job.
“I don’t know about the future.
I want to finish school. I would
like to act. I want to continue
working as a stewardess <for
Alaska Airlines)."
