Juneau Chamber of Commerce at the hearings gave many interesting sidelights on the proceedings. He menticned that attorneys James E.

He also mentioned sev- | eral persons who appeared on be- half of the Rkill.

DEVELOP MINES SEATTLE, March 11 —Large {deposits of nickel ore, vitally neces- jsary in the manufacture of steel {products, are lying idle in South- east Alaska because the U. 8. Gov- ernment refuses to develop the mines. S. H. P. Vevelstad, veteran Juneau, Alaska, mining figure said today. ‘The United States at present ob- tains largest part of its nickel ore irom Ontario, Canada, mines Vevels- {of land to eac of the Natives in | the Interior where it’s all tundra, {anyway.” A 1 Robertson predicted a favorable | report from the Committee on thc: measure, but warned that there is| still a terrific fight ahead if the| bill is to be passed by the Senate.| He said that the opposition of the | Department of the Interior, the Indians and the Timber Develop- | ment Corporation of New York‘ will hurt the bill's chances for success. The aituiney pointed out that one Senator alone could almost de- feat tue bi:l singlehanded by vot- ing «gainst it on the Senate con- sent calendar. He said that-event- he bidl might receive « hear- ie Senate floor, but that a long and difficult Lriug it to a vote. Roucrisen also told that he had peen informed by a representative of the Puget Sound Pulp and paper Co., which has already in- vested $75,000 on its investigations s a site for a pulp mill near Zetchikan, that his company had cceived letters threatening law- uits and other litigation if it veut ancad with its plans. For (Lis reason, the company is wait- ng for Congress to act and clear .he air concerning prospective Alaska pulp activities. Cohen Admits Relationship Robertson mentioned also that Felix Cohen admitted to the Sen- ate Committee that he is a cousin of Henry Cohen, head of the Tim- ber Development Corporation’ of New York which has contracts with | some Indians for sale of timber. Robertson said also that he had been informed that these contracts were very poor and their benefit to the Indians would be doubtful | because of their vagueness. He declared that SJRes 162 is tad said, but the United States should develop the Alaska depo.its in the interest of national defense.” “Stockpiles of nickel ore are dan- gerously low in the United States today,” Vevelstad asserted. “I have croposed plans for development of the .Alaska mines to the Reconstruc- ion Finance Corporation and the Army-Navy Munitions Board, but oth have been rejected as ‘unwise ventures,.” The Alaska miner added that total production of nickel in the United yiates has not chaned “at all' since 1937, Vevelstad, who mainuains his he: yuarters in Chicago, has, at ime or another, controlled most possible nickel deposits in SE Alacka. He has been engaged in nickel activities for many years and is believed to still have control of Lickeliferous property on Yofbi Island. the -<- - GOVERNMENT MAN IS THREATENED WiTH ‘WASHINGTON, March 11 ) A threat to blow out the brains of a ‘Congresslonal investigator was re- ported to the House today. { Rep.
