Timber-rich Alaska ought to De making lis own furniture, building Its own boats, turning out its own red cedar shingles, says the Reclamation Bureau. And there's a tremendous world demand for pulp for newsprint for rayon and for plastics that ine territory couia De Dul is not helping to satisfy. "Canadian efforts fall far short of supplying pulp and paper de mands within the United States," the Bureau's report, in support of firoposals to extend reclamation aws to Alaska, said this week. "Against this (Canadian and U. S.) fast-dwindling timber supply Alaska offers its huge coastal forests, now rotting for want of use but capable of providing 1,000,000,000 board feet of timber annually now and forever. . "Once the hungry domestic market Is satisfied, there is the growing literacy of the Orient which will demand more paper for books, magazines and news print. "Alaska is closer closer by hundreds of miles to the mar kets of the Orient tuin Is the continental coast of I e United States proper, including the paper-producing regions of Bri tish Columbia."

If you are, then plan your trip safely. But even If you stay home, keep safety In mind for the Fourth of July holiday one of the most dangerous weekends of the year. That is the advice of the Na tional Safety Council which is coordinating a nationwide cam paign to hold down the usual upsurge in accidental deaths dur ing the Independence Dav cele bration. One hundred and thirty national organizations, as well as state and city public officials are cooperating in the effort. Motor vehicle accidents lead the list of holiday hazards, the Council said. Drowning from swimming and fishing accidents is the second biggest risk. Other deaths are due to fireworks and firearms, sunstroke and heat ex haustion, food poisoning, falls and miscellaneous accidents. The death toll for the month of July last year was 8,700, the Council said. While it is im possible to determine the exact number of deaths from all causes occurring during the Fourth of July holiday, the Council said the total was well above the average for other days of the month. The Council expects more pleasure-seeking holiday motor States Told To Put Own Houses In Order Before Tilting Over U.S. Aid June 21. UP) A freshman Democratic governor Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois said Mon day that all government costs too much and the states had better set their own houses in order be fore quarreling about federal aid. Stevenson, who has gained men tion as a Democratic presidential possibility In 1052, told a reporter he doesn't agree with some of, his governors' conference colleagues in demanding greater control over the spending of U. S. money. "Government is too expensive at all levels," he said. "We need economy from the township up to Washington. But until we can do a better job in government at local and state levels we ought not to be damning federal Inter ference at the same time we are asking for more federal funds."

June 21. -tP) Two United Slates tourists said Sunday they had been told by Canadian customs officials they would have to pay a deposit of $347 before they could obtain 'a permit to travel over the Alaska highway. The two men, George G. Daunt of Sacramento, Calif., and Her man J. Peters of Vallejo, Calif., said they had refused to pay the deposit pending inquiries into the reason for it. They arrived In Calgary last night from Babb, Mont., on a 30 day permit to travel In Alberta. Both said they had never heard of such a permit before. Officials of the Junior Chamber of Commerce In Calgary also said they had no knowledge of such a deposit for travelers to Alaska. Board of trade officials said it might be required under United States laws. The men said customs officials would not tell them whal Ihe de posit was for. However, they said the sum was apparenlly arrived nt from the assessed value of their automobile. They understood Ihe deposit would be returned to hem on their return trip from the Alaska highway. They were told the deposit would have to be paid at Edmonton. The two retired business men. who plan an extended Irip through Alberta, British Columbia and the Alaska highway, said they would willingly pay the deposit if they found out "what It is for." Peters said customs officials would only say "it was a new ' law which came into effect In 1947." 000 tons of newsprint every year, in perpetuity.

C, and then by rail to the' lucrative markets. "Power transmission lines now being studied for construction In Alaska would require within the next few years more than 20,000 poles with a total length exceed ing 1.200,000 feet," the report pointed out. "Bv 1958. Alaskan power trans mission and distribution Dole re quirements should exceed 10,000 eacn year.
