ence of top-ranking American
and Canadian scientists gathered
to discuss research “needs” of va
rious kinds in the nation’s north
ern outpost.
Only part of the three-day
meeting, sponsored by the Na
tional Research Council, will be
open to the public, but many pre
pared talks were made available
to the press on subjects ranging
from agriculture to weather, from
wildlife to national defense.
Deputy Secretary Richardson
told a reporter:
“The strategic value of Alaska
has emphasized its value very
greatly to the United States. It al
ways has been important to devel
op Alaska’s natural resources;
hence the Territory has always
been of first class economic im
portance.
“Now, world events have shap
ed themselves so that Alaska's
strategic importance at least
equals, and may overshadow, her
economic importance.”
But this situation exists, he add
ed, at a time when there is a na
tional “shortage" of scientific
manpower for research and de
velopment work generally.
“Recent increases in research
and development," he said, ‘-have
drawn attention to the manpower
problem. There is doubt as to the
supply of manpower to handle a
' substantially increased program
beyond present artivities.
“Os to Alaska, this manpower
problem may turn out to be a lim

Territory in the way of research
and development. That is, the lim
itation may be in the manpower
field rather than in the dollar
field.*'
Dr. John C. Reed of the U. S.
geological survey and keynoter of
the conference said continuing
and increased research is needed
regarding Alaska, not alone be
cause of its rich natural resources
but because of its strategic geo
graphic position.
"I save at least 12 ways
when I ship by
Clipper* Cargo!”
You can’t compare sea and air ship
ping costs by weight rates alone!
You must also count these special
economies of Clipper Cargo:
• Crating is seldom necessary.
• Shipping weights are less, because
you use lighter packing.
• No deterioration.
• Lower insurance costs: goods are in
transit so briefly.
• Inventory and warehouse costs can
be drastically reduced
•Shipping rates go down as weights
go up.
• Working capital works harder . . •
because payment is quicker.
• Documentation time and costs are
reduced. One Air Waybill covers
shipment from origin to destination.
• Goods arrive when needed ... while
the market is strongest.
• Damage and pilferage losses are
greatly reduced.
• C.O.D. and collect services available
to many countries.
• Fewer handling fees.
Clipper schedules are fast, frequent
in Alaska and to the States. For
rates and schedules call your Clipper
Cargo Agent or Pan American.

As Alaska Goes, So
Goes The Nation
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Demo
cratic Gov. Ernest Gruening of
Alaska stuck out his chest Wed
nesday and said that hereafter the
political prognosticators and poli
tocians had better remember “that
as Alaska goes so goes the na
tion.”
Alaska neld its biennial election
four week ago, and the Republi-!
cans made gains but not quite!
enough to control the Territorial
Legislature.
“Again Alaska has shown it is
highly accurate as a political bar
1 ometer, as it has been consistent
i ly since 1912,” Gruening told a j
! reporter. “The Republicans made
substantial gains in the Alaska
: Legislative election. This resulted
in a Senate tied eight to eight,

CAUSES OF DEATH
According to the Alaska Health
Magazine published by the Alaska
Health Department the three main
causes of death in the Territory
are tuberculosis, accidents and
diseases of the circulatory system.
There are twice as many male
deaths as female, and more deaths
by auto accident than by planes.
controlled by the Democrats, they
substantially reduced the Demo
cratic majority.
“After that election it was easy
to forecast what would happen to
the nation in November.
“Ir the nation the Republicans
made substantial gains but not
quite enough to control the na
tional legislative branch—just as
they did in Alaska.
“So future prognosticators had
belter remember that ‘As Alaska
goes, so goes the nation,’ and
thereby get reliable information.”
