(Washington Post) It was scarcely to be expected thdt the $450 pay raise for postal employees voted by Congress could be accomplished ‘without some increase in cost'to the public. It may be doubted, however, that the ex- pedient of tacking an increase in postal rates onto the | pay-raise bill was the proper way to approach the problem.

It is the start of the pulp and paper industry in this section of Alaska. The nnouncement of this achievement was made yesterday in acceptante of the bid of the Ketchikan Pulp and Paper Co., by the Forest Service, to establish a paper industry in Alaska which has agreed to buy one billion and a half cubic feet of pulp timber at ‘Ward's Cove, six miles north of Ketchikan. This means the establishment of a pulp mill cost- ing between twenty and thirty million dollars, pro- ducing 150 tons of pulp a day within three years, 300 tons a day in five years and 525 tons a day ultimately. Surveys have already started at the Ward's Cove site | of the pulp and paper mill. A small city will ultimately result and from 1,500 (Cincinnati Enquirer) to 2,000 men will be employed.
