WRITES OF STALIN'S GOLD IN MAGAZINE Juneau is mentioned frequently in the first of a series of articles in the Saturday Evening Post that ar- rived today, told by John D. Little- page, former Alaskan mining en- gineer who has spent the past ten years in Stalin’s Russian gold fields. Littlepage told how he had been supervising mining near Juneau when a Russian mining engineer proposed that Littlepage go to Rus- sia at a fabulous salary, but at the time, Littlepage said, “I liked my life and work in Alaska and had no idea of exchanging it for any such|’ adventure as an excursion into Rus- bias. The item referred to stated that more than .80 communities, it was either 83 or 84, I have forgotten which, in the United States, in which the utilities are publicly. owned, were entirely free from local ‘taxes, the income from the utilittes pay= ing municipal expenses including schools. In these communities the rates charged by the utilities were no higher, and in some cases not as high; as in neighboring or compar- able communities where utilities were privately owned. (8Signed) J.
