DEVELOPMENT OF PULP, KETCHIKAN AREA, NULLIFIED KETCHIKAN—Possibility of pulp mill construction in the Ketchikan area for this year was nullified in a long distance telephone conversa- tion with Lawson Turcotte, Presi- dent of the Ketchikan Pulp and Timber Company. Turcotte told The Ketchikan Daily News that mill construction would not be undertaken until the new magnesium process under way at the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company plant at Longview was perfected and made a commercial success. He said every effort was being made to perfect this process butl technical delays would probably ob- viate any chance of mill develop- ment at Ketchikan this year. In response to a question he replied the Company would probably have to request the Forest Service to grant an extension to timber rights which expire August 2 of this ye: Any extension of timber rights would have to be made from the Chief Foresters office in Washing- ton. Frank Heintzleman is at pre- sent in the Capitol on Forest Service business. Turcotte pointed out that many factors would have to be considered before the company would assume the heavy expense of mill construc- tion here. He mentioned market conditions, available power and water supply, Forest Service timber rights as all having a bearing on the question of mill development.

Chapman asserts.that he “an- ticipates reasonably early action’ on Alaska statehood. An advocate of statehood for the Territory for the past 15 years, Chapman said the Alaska pectle are “entitled to full franchise rights” and are willing to assume the responsibility that would go with admission to the union. Chapman expressed pleasure that the House already has recognized the need for Alaskan statehood, and voiced confidence that the Senate also would see it the same way. “Statehood for Alaska is imps ant to the people in the Territory to the Pacific Northwest and to the entire nation,” he said. He pulled out the statistics b an address criticizing Ad- 1 ration critiss who <charge that the United States is dritting toward socialism, Bringing his subject close to home for the audience of Jeffer- son-Jackson banquet goers, Chap- man referred pointedly to the con- dition of Washington farmers. “The cash income of farmers in the State of Washington, having reached $208,000,000 in 1929, had dropped to $88,000,000 by 1932,” hec said. “I am proud to remind you that in 1948 this income for farmers amounted to over $570,000,000.” NO MORE ALASKA RESERVATIONS ARE NEEDED; JACKSON WASHINGTON, March 31—P— Rep. Jackson (D-Wash) says in reference to an Alaska reservation | election next month:” “I hope the new Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Dillon 8. Myer, will review the reservation situa- tion in Alaska in light of the restric tion written into his next year’s ax propriation.” Jackson had written into the In- terior Department appropriation bill a restriction that Indian Burean funds for the year starting July 1 can not be used to create any more reservations in the Territory. But he said the prohibition will not apply to elections before July 1. He made his comment in connec- tion with an Interior Department | announcement it will send a repre- sentative to observe native elections at Chungnak and Hydaburg April 24. The elections are to determine whether the natives there want re- servations established for them. The elections were scheduled originally for February.
