Professor Says Timber & Tourists
Are Alaska’s Best Bets For Future
SEATTLE, (#>—A University of<
Washington faculty member said
Saturday that timber and tourists
offer Alaska its best prospects for
continued development.
An analysis of Alaska’s econ
omic problem is presented by
William J. Stanton, associate pro
fessor of marketing, in the Aug
ust issue of Pacifid Northwest
Business.
Stanton sees Alaskan economy
at a turning point, with military
construction and fisheries, the
territory’s two top sources of rev
enue, declining.
The $54,000,000 Ketchikan pulp
mill has given to the territory its
first substantial year-around in
dustrial operation, Stanton says,
with the promise there will be
other important developments
based on the territory’s relatively
untapped wealth of timber.
Tourism, based increasingly on
air and automobile travel, also
has good prospects.
Stanton says there are oppor
tunities for further development
of by-products by the fisheries
industry.
He foresees gradual develop
>
ment of mining operations and of
the territory’s large resources of
hydroelectric energy.
It is impossible, Stanton says,
to determine to what extent mili
tary construction will be curtailed
but substantial 1956 operations
already are scheduled.
A large-scale Copper River
power development, to serve as
the basis for an aluminum-reduc
tion operation, is listed as one of
many possibilities in the industri
al field. In the absence of such a
development, Stanton foresees a
gradual building of smaller proj
ects.
Louiseville Weather
So Hot He’d Return to
Alaska for Bribery Trial
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Uft—T h e
weather’s so hot here Harry J.
Kane wants to go back to Alaska
to face a bribery charge.
But there are a few details to
be settled before Kane can start
his 5,000-mile trip in custody of
federal officials.
Kane’s in jail on a state charge
of obtaining $120 under false pre
tenses. The warrant was obtained
by an auto dealer who claimed he
gave Kane a check as advance
payment on some Army jeeps
which, he found out later, Kane
didn’t own.
Arrested in Memphis, Tenn.,
Kane was returned here but was
unable to make $5,000 bond.
In Alaska, meantime, officials
heard of Kane’s arrest at Mem
phis and promptly boosted his
bond to $10,000. He previously
had been free under $2,000 bond
on a charge of bribing an Air
Force sergeant in Anchorage to .
give him a false list of surplus
property for sale.
In court Friday Kane said he
couldn’t post increased federal
bond but offered to return the
$120 if that would hasten his re
turn to Alaska, ’wdaere “the weath
er is cooler than it is here.”
Kane presumably didn’t know
it was 92° in Alaska one day last
week.
