LETTER TO THE EDITOR
In answer to the open letter
from the Juneau Ministerial Fel
lowship printed in the Nugget on
November 10, I want to go on rec
ord as being strongly against leg
alized gambling for the State of
Alaska. Furthermore, the cost of
policing such an idea most likely
would be prohibitive, thereby off
setting any financial gain that leg
alized gambling might bring.
I am sure that through a nor
mal tax structure and a sound
State government, that the new
State ran be run without resort
ing to legalized gambling.
On Tuesday, Nov. 25, it will
be up to each voter to decide
whom he wants to represent him
in Juneau on this issue and other
State problems.
Respectfully Yours,
ARHXJR D. JOHNSON,
Candidate for State Senator.

f Gov’t. Agencies To Help Push Alaska
Home Grown Products For Army Use
By FRANK W. VAILLE
WASHINGTON, iff) — An Alas
kan expert said Thursday two gov
ernment agencies have promised
their help in efforts to sell more
home-grown products to American
military commissaries in Alaska.
At present most commissaries
in Alaska are stocked with items
shipped from the United States
proper.
A recent bid to increase sales of
Alaskan milk and potatoes to com
missaries was rejected by the
Army.
The Matanuska Valley farmers
Cooperative Association then
asked Allan H. Mick, director of
the Alaska Agricutural Experi
ment Station at Palmer, to take
up the matter with True D. Morse,
under-secretary of Agriculture,
and Interior Department officials.
Mick said they agreed there was
merit in Alaska’s case and assured
him of support in an attempt to
work out different military pro
curement policies.
Mick said Alaskans want to off
set added costs of production by
receiving an allowance equal to
the amount it costs Uncle. Sam to
transport the products from the
point of purchase in the other 48
states. This cost now is absorbed
by the military and is not re
flected in commissary prices.
Assistant Secretary of the Army
F. H. Higgins recently approved
a comparable allowance for Alas
kan merchants bidding to supply
commissaries with brand name
subsistence items imported to
Alaska.
But Higgins said the law makes
no provision for such allowances
for items grown, produced or
manufactured in Alaska in as
much as no outside transporta
tion costs are involved.
Mick said the Army’s stand
works against the development
programs supported by the Agri
culture and Interior Departments,
jeopardizes the investments of
homesteaders who have antici
pated the military market, and
stultifies the Alaskan economy.
“It means that Grade A milk
produced in the Matanuska Val
ley must compete pricewise with
Grace C milk produced in the
states,” he said. “It just can’t be
done.”
Alaska fresh milk is sold in
commissaries at about 32 cents a
quart, while recombined milk
made from dairy products shipped
from the states sells at some 23
cents, Mick said.
'Mick said the actual cost of re
combined milk including transpor
tation, woud run about 30 cents a
quart.
Granting an allowance for Alas
kan milk products would increase
sales, he explained, and would
boost production and efficiency.
This in turn would result in lower
prices and help develop a self
sufficiency within Alaska, he
addedv '
; If Alaskan dairy farmers can
be assured of the military market
within the next two or three
months. Mick said, it would be
possible to reduce the price of ci
vilian milk by five cents a quart
over the next two years.
Otherwise he sees a deteriora
tion in the industry as farmers be
come more discouraged at the lack
of markets.

Driving Sloppy On
Floating Bridge
SEATTLE, Iff) — Hundreds of
homebound motorists ran into
slippery driving conditions Wed
nesday at the east end of the Lake
Washington floating bridge ap
proach tunnel. It wasn’t snow,
however, or even rain.
It was something unique in driv
ing pitfalls — a truck load of
mucky apple mash, which oozed
over more than 100 feet of high
way.
A truck, hauling the mash for
pig food to a Redmond farm, lost
its load when its tailgate acci
dentally slipped open. Three
hours, and blocks of lined up
traffic, later, the street depart
ment finally cleared the road
way after calling in a truck with
an overhead snow-shovel type
scoop to clear the mess out of the
way.
The farmer driving the truck
left before anyone could get his
name.
It didn’t matter. The delayed
motorists probably had several
names for him by the time they
got home.
