Estimates of the construc tion cost alone run over $300, 000,000. A well informed of ficial here told this reporter he believed the bases would be for ICBM missiles when U.S. scientists have overcome the gremlins that made the Young Girl Gives Advice To Would-Be Drug Users Hollywood (IPI Barbara Gray, 30, an unemployed air- Ann Burns, 19-year-old daugh ter of the late comedian Bob Burns, has this advice for any one toying with ideas of try ing narcotics: "Don't do it.

Administrator Joseph A. Nance said sales last year would come close to equaling the $45 million .worth of liquor sold in the state in 1956. The state treasury re ported a profit of about 33 13 per cent on liquor sales in state stores.

Lady Finds Painter Demands Top Price Los Angeles (IP) The high fashioned lady in the ex pensive automobile looked at the man painting a house and asked him how much he charged by the hour.

Edith Green (D-Ore.), today introduced two bills in "con nection with Oregon's 1959 Centennial Exposition and International Trade Fair. One of the measures would exempt from customs duties articles imported from for eign countries for exhibit at the exposition in Portland. The other is a resolution asking the president to issue a national proclamation call ing for recognition of Feb. 14, 1959, as the 100th anni versary of Oregon statehood. The Senate already has ap proved such a resolution. heralded Vanguard launching a big fizzle. Closest Point ' Missile launching sites in Alaska would provide the closest, point on the North American continent for pois ing these deadly weapons which, when brought to their terrible perfection, could be fired at key points through out Russia just over the north pole. The Air Force also is plan ning some other secret pro ject along the Arctic coast, where last week it got the government to withdraw from public use 10 parcels of land stretching out to the east and west of Point Bar row. This is not for missiles, but the Pentagon won't reveal what it plans to do here. Manifestly, another change in the defense picture in Alaska will have to come sooner or later reequip ment of the Dewline stations with radar which is capable of detecting guided missiles. The Dewline is now an air craft warning system which is incapable of detecting and tracking anything moving with the speed of an ICBM. Federal Supervision These military programs implemented in Alaska point up the reservation which President Eisenhower had until recently about granting statehood to Alaska. He held that for purely military con siderations, it would be pre ferable to keep the territory ' under strictly federal super vision. Now, however, he is sup porting statehood under a plan developed for allowing a vast military reservation in all of the northeast Alaska roughly north of the Yukon river. The pending statehood bill would allow the presi dent to withdraw all that area from any private use for defense purposes. Meanwhile, the signifi cance of Alaska has been en hanced militarily and other wise, by the promising dis covery of oil on the Kenal peninsula south of Anchor age. Virtually every major oil company now is investing in leases and exploratory work, so confident are they that this first strike is only an indicator of vast oil re sources. Greater Profit One big reason they are go ing all out to find Alaskan oil is that the Suez canal squabble pointed up the tenu ous nature of America's oil supply from the Middle East. American companies, more over, would prefer to get oil on Alaska's public lands be cause the profit would be much greater. In the Middle East they are generally pay ing 50 per cent of the value of the crude oil to the gov ernment of the country from which it is tapped. The royalty payment which oil companies make to the U.S. government for oil taken out of 'public lands has been as high as 33 per cent in years past, later reduced to 25 per cent. But Alaska, because of its remote position, was put under a special incentive low royalty of 12VS per cent The Northwest has a big stake in the fruition of all these plans in improving the state of Alaska.
