ADB To Propose
Field Office In
Railroad Belt
Establishment of a field office
of the Alaska Development Board
in the Alaska Railroad belt will
be proposed by the board in its
budget request to the 1953 legis
lature, Don O. Goodman, chair
man, announced yesterday.
The office for which the board
asks legislative support would
make it possible to give better
assistance in development matters
to the Anchorage, Fairbanks, Mat
anuska Valley, Kenai Peninsula
and other areas of the Westward,
according to the announcement.
With the aluminum plant near
Skagway, a pulp mill at Ketchi
kan, the plywood plant at Juneau,
iron ore development near Haines,
several new sawmills, and other
large industrial developments in
the offing, the economic future of
Southeast Alaska appears bright,
according to the Development
Board. This has made it impera
tive, in the view of its members,
that more attention be given to
the industrial potential of western
and interior Alaska and has mo
tivated the proposal for estab
lishment of an office there.
The board’s 1953-55 budget re
quest, which has been submitted
to the Territorial Board of Bud
get, carries an item of $35,000 for
the special railbelt office, in ad
dition to a request of $140,000 for.
all-Alaska activities of the board.

In Sub-Arctic
FAIRBANKS, (#) — Transport
planes began arriving at Big Delta
Wednesday with troops of the
11th Airborne Division, and the
flying soldiers stepped out into
weather that wasn’t much colder
than what they left behind in,
Tennessee.
The temperature hovered around
38 degrees as the big C-119 trans
ports began landing at the rate of
one every 30 minutes.
About 4,000 men of the air
borne division face a month-long
sub-Arctic maneuver, ‘KDperation
Warmwind.”
Eight of the big planes were
stretched out along the 3,250-mile
route over Alaska, Canada and
the States. They were due to keep
landing at half hour intervals for
50 hours.
The troops quickly disembarked
as they arrived and set up tem
porary shelters on the tundra
around the Big Delta base, about
75 miles southeast of this interior
Alaska city. They are to receive
cold weather training before open
ing their northern maneuvers,
v There is three inches of snow
at Big Delta, but the temperature
rose to' above freezing qfter a
cold nip of 15 degrees two nights
ago.
As soon as a plane disgorges
its passengers, it takes off for
another base. The planes will re
turn from the dispersal fields to
pick up the men for maneuvers
after they finish their cold weath
i er indoctrination.

Alaska GOPs Hold
6 of 9 Senate Seats
(Bv the Associated Ptiess) '
Final vote counts, including ab
senties, in three of Alaska’s four
divisions showed Thursday the
Republicans will hold 20 of the
24 seats in the Territorial House
of Representatives.
Rep. Wendell Kay, Anchorage
Democrat, clinched the only Dem
ocratic spot in the Third Divi
sion’s House delegation by 12
votes.
The final count showed the Re
publicans winning six out of nine
seats at stake in the Senate. Two
of the Democratic winners, how
ever, are anti - Gruening admin
istration Democrats — Howard
Lyng of Nome and Mark Jensen
of Douglas.
That will give the Republicans
an 11 to 5 edge in the Senate.
However, three of the five Demo
crats are on the conservative side
—Lyng, Jensen and Sen. James
Nolan, Wrangell businessman.
On the other hand, one of the
Republicans, Sen. Percy Ipalook
of Kotzebue, has voted frequently
with the administration Demo
crats in the past. . •
In the first report Thursday on
Fouth * Division absentee ballots,
Republican Mike Stepovich, Fair
banks attorney, was the winner
by 463 over Frank Barr, Demo
crat, for the latter’s Senate seat.
The count was Stepovich 2449,
Barr 1986. Sen. John Butrovich
was reelected to his Senate seat
with 2745.
Butrovich, as Republican lead
er in the Senate, appeared in line
for the Senate president’s seat if
he is interested in it. He didn’t
want it two years ago, preferring
to- operate as floor leader in an
evenly divided Senate.
