United States Could Lose Alaska By Neglect, Report To President Truman Says WASHINGTON, June IS. UP) A report before President Tru man suggests that the United States could lose Alaska by de fault to the United Nations. The report, describing a Recla mation Bureau reconnaissance of Alaska's water resources, was pre sented to the President by Secre tary of the Interior Krug. It car ries the endorsement of Lt. Gen. Nathan F. Twining, commander in chief of the Alaskan command. "It is quite conceivable," the re port says, "that sometime in the future the United Nations might demand more equitable division of the unpopulated and potentially l.ch regions of the globe. 'Therefore, the United States Is faced with the problem: Who will develop Alaska? Will it be Ameri cans, or will lt be the land-hungry people of devastated Europe or me overcrowaea uriemr and tne report adds: Today Alaska belongs to the United States; tomorrow it could belong to the world. The document describes the ter rltory as: (1). One of the greatest unde veloped areas In a land-hungry, re sources-hungry world; (2) a poten tial leaaer in ine development or Asia; (3) one of the few places on eartn tnat couia provide tne ian tastic amounts of power required lor tne Armyi proposed super sonic wind tunnel: and (4) a pos sible major weapon-launching point in a push button war.

Krug told President Truman In a report on the territory s re sources that Alaska has a poten tial hydroelectric capacity of more than 8,000,000 kilowatts. This, he said, is "more than half the amount of hydroelectric power now developed in the United States and Is more "than three times the installed capacity of the Tennessee Valley Authority." But Alaskms need help to de velop their lands and rivers, Krug said help under the reclamation law, now limited to the western states. Comparisons Made Of Alaska's population outlook, Krug's report said: "At least 5,000.000 peopie could be sustained on Alaska's resources. Norway, Finland and Sweden witn the same latitude, but more fully matured economically, have a present population density 2' to 5 times greater than Alaska would have if lt had 5,000,000 in habitants. ... "In Alaska, . . . there are 386.000 square miles of land more habit able and fertile and with more na tural resources than the average land in Norway, Finland and Swe- "A potential population density, midway between that of Norway and Sweden, would result in a po tential Alaska population of more than 12,000,000 persons. "By this reasoning, it is not un likely that Alaska ultimately will have 10,000,000 people." The report said Alaska can never hope to be entirely self-sufficient in food production. .
