View of main kitchen in the $25,000,000 Los Angeles Statler,
one of the world’s finest hotels. The three St'atler kitchens,
the last word in efficiency, can serve 15,000 meals a day.
By Grace Edwards
You've often heard the expres
sion, “The heart of the home is
the kitchen.” That’s true of a
great hotel, too. In fact, the
World's newest great hotel, the
$25,000,000 Statler Hotel in Los
Angeles, was actually designed
around its kitchens, according to
Harold B. Callis, Statler vice
president in charge of construc
tion.
No part of this hotel, often
called “the hotel of the future,”
Was more painstakingly planned
than the kitchens, Mr. Callis says.
The aim was to make possible
production-line efficiency, which is
what we homemakers aim at when
we get around to re-doing our
kitchens to make them step-sav
ing as well as beautiful. In our
homes, we try to get this efficiency
by a U-shaped design, with our
refrigerator near the door through
which deliveries are made, then
counter space, then dishwashing
apace, and finally the range and !
more counter area near the din- j
ing room door. I
In the Statler kitchen, while
they aimed at the same ideal, they
had more space to work with and
the kitchen is one straight pro
duction line. The food comes in
off the street at one end, is tem
porarily placed in storage rooms
or in the 62 tailor-made refrig
erators, which can store 38 tons
of food, passes through the vari
ous preparation steps, all ar
ranged in a straight line, and goes
out a doorway at the other end
into the dining rooms.
As all kitchens should be, the
Statler kitchen is beautifully
lighted and extremely well-venti
lated. You could eat off the floors,
which are scrubbed at least twice
a day. The equipment includes
automatic dishwashers, mixers,
conveyors, and so many work
saving devices you would be green
with envy.
But this step-saving kitchen
pays off. In a comparatively small
area, Statler can prepare, in this
hotel, 15,000 meals a dayl

Four Anti-Communist
Czechs Land Plane In West
Germany, Asking Asylum
FRANKFURT, Germany, UPl —
Four anti - Communist Czechs —
one a woman—'brought a “free
dom plane" out of their homeland
Monday night after slugging the
operator and grabbing the con
trols at gunpoint.
First details of the daring dash
for freedom came from U.S. High
Commissioner James B. Conant.
Conant said the pilot and three
fellow conspirators refused to land
the craft with 29 persons aboard
at Rhine - Main airport in West
Germany until American author
ities had assured the four they
would be granted asylum. Later
two others requested permission
to live in the West. The other 23
will be returned to Czechoslovakia
in the plane.
Only The Name Is The Same
INDIANAPOLIS, —A 29-year
old man named J. Edgar Hoover
was fined $27 in municipal court
for reckless driving.
“I never thought I’d have you
in my court,” Judge Phillip L.
Bayt jokingly told the driver.
This J. Edgar Hoover is a truck
driver, not the famed head of the
FBI.

NOME COMMON COUNCIL,
By Carrie M. McLain, City Clerk
Publish March 25, 27, and 30, 1953.
WASHINGTON, UB—The direc
tor Of the Bureau of Land Man
agement believes it might take
another Matanuska project to
build up Alaska’s agricultural ec
onomy.
The statement was made by Di
rector Marion Clawson during a
general discussion of Alaska’s
land problems before the House
Interior Department Appropria
tions subcommittee.
Clawson said he did not be
lieve agricultural development
would result through homestead
ing alone.
“I think they are going to have
to have a measure of assistance
in terms of finances and perhaps
other assistance—maybe a form of
subsidy,” he declared.
The Matanuska colony, which
was established in Alaska, un
doubtedly cost the government a
lot of money, but it did result in
an area of cleared land and farm
land that is being farmed today.
And it is the only area in the terri
tory that has any substantial
amount of farming going on.”
Clawson expressed belief that if
all the farmland that has been
homesteaded in Alaska were clear
ed and put into production it
would “far more than supply any
potential market that Alaska now
has.” There has been consider
able homesteading in the territory
since the war, he declared, but
“very little of the land is actually
going into agricultral production.”
He blamed this on a variety of
reasons: high cost of land develop
ment, prevalence of relatively
good paying jobs and, to a certain
degree, speculation.
In this latter connection, he
cited Fairbanks as a good example
of a city which is bounded on
all sides by either military reser
vations or homesteads.
"... The people have hung
onto the land and there was no
incentive to subdivide it, and they
they have been able to hold it
without any cost to them at all,”
he declared.
“I’m sure that the same spec
ulative aspect has reached some
of the people who have been
homesteading. I do not mean to
be critical because I might very
well have done the same thing if
I had been a veteran.”
Senate Completes
Approval of Regulation
Of Employment Agencies
By JAMES HUTCHESON
JUNEAU, UP)—The Senate com
pleted legislative approval late
Monday aftemoop on a bill for
strict regulation of employment
agencies.
The Senate voted unanimously
for the bill authored by Rep.
Dorothy Prior to crack down on
what was described as irrespon
sible employment agency operat
ors.
It requires them to post bond,
makes them responsible for the
accuracy of job advertisements
and forbids them operating in
an establishment with a bar.
The Senate also approved two
other House bills in a slow mov
ing afternoon.
One sets up the routine under
which public utility districts can
dissolve and another would allo^y
two school districts to consolidate.
The latter was reported as a fu
ture possibity for the Juneau and
Douglas school districts.
With only three more days to
go after Monday, the Senate met
Monday night and the House ran
straight through to 7 p.m. but
passed up a night session so the
Republican Central Committee
members could meet with Gov.
designate B. Frank Heintzleman.
At this state of the session,
neither house can transmit its
own bills to the other without a
two-thirds vote to receive, unless
they are tax or appropriation
measures.
