PAGE EIGHT TIME SEEMS RIPE FOR PUSHING TAX INCENTIVE BILL Alaska Development Cor- Alaska Industrial Cor- Says Alaska Musf Adt The time seems ripe for an effort to push tax incentive legislation for Alaska through - Congress, S. J Nusbaum, ‘secretary of the Alaska [ndustrial ornoration, ‘old the Chamber of Commerce today He stressed, however, that ganizations in Alaska will have to take the initiative in forwarding action on such a law. He said the corporation he represents has al- or- 1 ‘ | I I | | | ready appeared before the Senate; Finance Committee and has had its ideas on tax incentives for the Ter- ritory well received. The Alaska Industrial Corpor- ation has been working for two years toward developing a pulp mill near Sitka. “we lLave solved all the difficul- ties—except the financial ones,” he said, referring to the development of the proposed mill. He indicated that the job of securing investment capital for establishing the mill— and other large new industries in this area—would be infinitely easier if’ theer were some outstanding &d- vattage in- risking money on Alas- kan industry. He suggested liberalized credit and tax incentives as the answer and said that his company was only interested in such tax incentives for new industries on the “Federal and corporate level” and not as in Puerto Rico. A small incentive to new busi- ness is included in the Territorial property tax law, he seid, but “com- pared with Federal taxes, Terri- torial taxes are only a drop in the bucket.” Nusbaum said the work of the corporation on tax incentives for Alaska was done out of self-inter- est, but the passing of a tax in- centive measure would benefit the entire Territory. “We think that Alaska is an economically underdeveloped area and therefore what the Federal gov- ernment does for underdeveloped forejgn areas (through the Presi- dent’s point four program) it should at least do for Alaska,” he said. “We have done spadework; we have information, data, and good- will to which you are welcome,” he told the Chamber. “But the in- itiative will have to come from here.” Nusbaum said that judging from conversations corporation repre- sentatives had with -officials Washington, they felt that with proper _boosting there is a good chance of a special tax incentive bill for Alaska being put through Congress. As far as liberalized credit was | concerned, Nusbaum said RFC loans at present are too small to be use- ful in establishing large industries. Roy W. Johnson, vice-presiident of the Alaska Industrial Corpor- ation, and Charles Semal, indus- trial consultant, were also at the meeting. Chamber secretary F. O. Eastaugh reported that the organization will request a reconnaissance of the proposed Taku River road. Visitors at today’s meeting were Sydney Smith of Seattle, Dr. and Mrs. H. J.

Young Johnnie Stewart Dr. and Mrs. John Ste a group of boys, were playing on the new fill when Johnnie wander- | ed out into the softer sand. He| went in to his knees, then when he tried to return to safer ground found himself mired and going deeper. His frantic cries, and the cries of his companions attracted the at- tention of Hildre who happened to be passing the scene. Hildre saw the lad's danger at once. He ran around the fill and found a large plank and a rope tie around his waist. By the time Hildre reached the boy the sand had sucked him down over his hip boots. Neighbors and passers- | by watched anxiously as youngster. As a consequence of yesterday's near tragedy, youngsters are warned | to stay away from the new fill. AT JUNEAU HOTEL Graham L.

L. Anderson, director of { the Alaska Department of Fisheries | said today. | He made the statement after see- ing spawn salmon being taken from streams near Juneau. The practice is not prohibited by law in Alaska. “When the salmon enter a stream | to spawn, they lose much of their | food value,” he pointed out. “The | fat content of the meat goes, the protein percentage drops sharply, and the water content increases.” He said spawn salmon also spofli much more quickly than salmon | caught from salt water. This is| | caused by the increased slime on the ‘fwhes skin, he said. | He pointed out that taking sal- Dr. Bertha Barkan Luthy, research associate in the department of bio- chemistry at Stanford University under a $300 a month Rockefeller Foundation grant, was indicted in San Francisco by a Federal grand jury for concealing her Russian birth in statements to immigration officials.
