BENDER HEARD | OVER KOL, SEATTLE IN ALASKA TALK| Juneau radio fans who happ ned to be listening-in on KOL, Seam | radio station, last night at 85.7 heard Robert W. Bender, Edltor and Manager of The Empire, inter- | viewed about Alaska. Questioned about the purchase of Alaska, Mr. Bender gave the early | history of the purchase from Ru;-‘ sia for $7,200,000, added to it the | total money that had been spent | on the Territory by the Federal | Government, which brought the | cost of the Territory up to $209,-| 999,000, subtracted the $52,500,000 | that the Territory has.turned into | the Federal treasury, and found t.he‘ cost of the Territory to date to be | $157,499,000. However, when the| value of the minerals, fisheries | products, and other products of the Territory, produced since its purchase is considered, Mr. Bender said, the trade balance in Alaska’s favor is over two and one half billion dollars. The importance of the proposed international highway to Alaska and to the United States, advance of aviation in Alaska, the Terri- tory’s climate, and advice to peo-| ple against coming to Alaska unless ey have an income or a job in. sight were other subjects menticned Mr. Bender. After a two weeks' business trip to Seattle, Mr. Bender left today board the Victoria for Juneau. - — EINSTEIN GIVES SIMPLE PROOF .
