Bie Demands Paid
C. of C. Manager,
Decries Politics
McKINLEY PARK, Alaska, UP
—Tormod (Tommy) Bie of Sew
ard took over the presidency eft
the Alaska Chamber of Commerce
Friday with the firm admonition:
“This is not going to be a politi
cal meeting. There must be unity
among us, and the first thing we
must do is get a paid manager.”
About 100 delegates were pres
ent for his inauguration.
Bie succeeds the late Cecil
Wells of Fairbanks as president.
A1 Anderson, assistant manager
of the Alaska Development Board,
expressed confidence that the Al
uminum Company of America
would solve the water power ob
stacles to its proposed 400 million
dollar aluminum reduction plant
near Skagway. He predicted the
plant would be built. The hitch
has been over Canadian govern
ment refusal to grant rights to
take Canadian water from the
upper Yukon, via mountain tun
nel, to generate power at the
Southeast Alaska site.
Anderson also said that a feasi
bility report on a proposed natur
al gas pipe line from Gubik, in
the Arctic, to Fairbanks, soon
would be completed. He also de
clared the withdrawn land east
of the Navy petroleum reserve
should be restored to the public
domain for development.
T. S. McKay of Vancouver, B.C.,
speaking as a representative of
the Canadian Chamber of Com
merce, stressed the need of roads
for the power development of the
north country, especially mining.
“Less than 1 percent of north
ern British Columbia, the Yukon
and Alaska has been explored
properly for minerals,” McKay
said.
WRONG NUMBER
TUCSON, Ariz., UP)—Ollie Biles
was arrested for making tele
phone threats to a sheriff’s depu
ty, but he was promptly released
when he gave his reason.
“I though I was talking to the
city police,” he explained.
