Predicts Increasing
Investment Interest
In State of Alaska
JUNEAU UP — A Rhode Island
bank president yesterday predicted
increasing investment interest in
Alaska because the Eastern States
have ‘‘a mature economy and no
growth factor.”
Daniel E. Stoddard, President
of the People’s Saving Bank of
Providence, made the forecast
during a conference with Gov.
Egan.
Stoddard told Egan his bank
has $1 million invested in Alaska
projects and two other eastern
banks have authorized him to
commit up to $1 million during
his current trip to the 49th State.
The Providence banker said he
planned to discuss Alaska invest
ment possibilities during the next
board of directors meeting of the
National Association of Mutual
Savings Banks.

DE GAULLE DEDICATES
NEW TERMINAL BUILDING
PARIS liP — President Charles
De Gaulle today dedicated a new
| S24 million steel and glass ter
i minal building at Orly Field, one
' of the world’s largest and best
! equipped airports.
The President told a crowd of
2,000 the terminal is “one of the
most striking French realizations,
aiding man to use the skies.”
De Gaulle made a quick tour of
the five-story building, which
houses restaurants, 10 bars, 120
stores in a shopping section, a 68
room hotel, a movie theater and
a hospital.
There are 3,000 electric clocks
and 4,000 loudspeakers spotted
around the terminal.
If you dwelt on a tropical isle,
you’d be less likely to get an
ulcer, a heart attack or a mental
ailment. On the other hand, here
in the good old temperate USA,
you are likely to live longer,
have more energy, be more cre
i ative, and suffer fewer infectious
j diseases.

Liking Tissue Can Be
Frozen Without Damage
SAN FRANCISCO W — Living
tissue can be cooled to below zero
temperatures without damage, say j
two researchers from the Uni- ]
versity of Oregon Medical School.
Dr. Stanley W. Jacob and Dr.
J. B. Dunphy reported on a pro
cess called supercooling in a paper
Tuesday before the Pacific Coast
Surgical Assn.
They said a dog’s heart was re
frigerated to 4 degrees below j
zero fahrenheit, then warmed and 1
successfully transplanted into an- j
other dog.
The doctors said rats, fully
alive, can be kept in suspended I
animation with nearly-frozen
hearts and lungs stopped for an
hour or more, and then brought
back to friskiness.
They said that with the super
cooling process, tissues do not
freeze and harden. Pressure dur
ing refrigeration prevents freez
ing and hardening, they said.
Jacob and Dunphy said the ex
periments are helping solve prob
lems in connection with the trans
planting of human organs.

Ways and Means
Committee Approves
Unemployment Aids
WASHINGTON UP — The
House Ways and Means Commit
tee yesterday approved legisla
tion for President Kennedy’s bil
lion-dollar program of temporary
unemployment aids.
Democratic leaders said they
expect passage in time to meet
the administration’s goal—pay
ments to the long-time unem
ployed by April 1.
The committee version includes
the financing plan favored by
Republicans and most business
spokesmen who appeared before
the committee. The estimated
$990 million cost would be re
paid during 1962 and 1963 by a
temporary 4/10th of 1 per cent
Increase in the payroll tax em
ployers now pay.
The bill provides for continu
ing unemployment insurance pay
ments to jobless persons who have
exhausted their basic rights un
der the Federal-State Unemploy
ment Program.
The payments would continue
up to one half the time the vari
ous states originally provided.
Since the longest state program
is for 26 weeks, the maximum
extension would be 15 weeks. Pay
ment would be at the weekly rate
orovided by the various states.
States which, on their own,
have put in emergency extensions,
would receive funds from the fed
ei tl government.
Officials estimated the plan
would ,'ake two weeks to go into
effect after approval by Congress.
Today some 3Vi million Ameri
cans live in 1 Vfe million mobile
homes, which they can pull up
to the side of almost any road
they choose.
