With about 20 members of the party, headed by Unit Director Frank Kies and Second Unit Man- ager Richard Talmadge, the cine- maticians arrived in Juneau Sun- day at 8 am. and spent the day in preparation for the work today They left here at 3 o'clock this morning. They used the Gastineau Hotel for headquarters during their stay in the city. The unit docked at the city float with three vessels, these being the Golden Hind, which is a cabin cruiser; the Fort Tongass, which was picked up in Ketchikan, ind the cruiser Sylph, which is used mainly as living quarters. Mr. Kies said that the climax of the film will be shot at Taku Glac- jer. He estimated that about 1,000 feet of film will be shot in this vicinity.

The Committee’s re- port’ follows: The purpose of the resolution is to give to Congress more complete and comprehensive information about the Territory of Alaska, in drder that Congress may be aided in determining what may profitably be done for the development of the Territ The resolution neither author nor invites the appro- priation of any money; in fact, it expressly provides that whatever ex- pense is involved in preparing the requested information shall be within the regular appropriations of the several departments and agen- cies of the Government for the fis- cal year 1938 which have been here- tofore made. Alaska is vast in area, approxi-/ mately 589,000 square miles, and within that area may be found a wide variation in climate and in topographic and other conditions. At the present time the population of | ceed 65,000. Despite its sparse popu- lation and lack of extensive devel- cpment, the Territory has already produced considerable wealth. The| fisheries products of Alaska to date | are valued at more than 1,000 mil-| iion dollars; and its minerals, prin-| cipally gold, at more than 700 mil- lion dollars; and instead of beir depleted, it seems probable the Ter- ritory yet contains in gold, copper.| coal, oil, iron, platinum, tin, and in| ts fisheries, and in its farming flndi grazing lands, which embrace about | 40 million acres, stores of wealth | that are all but inexhaustible. A | recent report of the United States Bureau of Fisheries shows that in| the year 1936 the value of the fish-! eries products of Alaska amounted | to more than 50 million dollars. It may be deserving of note that in corresponding latitudes in Eu- rope lie three nations (Norway, Swe- ! den, and Finland) which have no more favorable climate and possess no greater natural resources than| does the Terrilory of Alaska, and vet those three countries support in comfort more than 13 millions of people who enjoy a very high de- gree of culture and civilization. i The Delegate from Alaska has' called to our attention the report of Forest Service officials stating that Alaska can produce in perpetuity approximately 1,000,000 tons of high-grade wood pulp, an amount substantially equal to one-fourth of} the consumption of that product by the United States at the present | time. { In this connection it may be noted | that, considered alone, Alaska is a valuable customer of the States. The | total commerce between the United States and Alaska during the year ‘1938 amounted to more than $115,-! 000,000. | The several departments of the! Government have collected a great deal of information about Alaska but the data so gathered together| is scattered among the various de- | partments and bureaus and has never been correlated or brought together in one comprehensive! whole.
