ECONOMIST
SEES GREAT
Dr. Ruth Gruber States One
Benefit of War Will Be
to Open Alaska
“Alaska is the frontier of the
20th century and I believe one
thing that will result from in-,
creased transportation facilities be- j
cause of the war, is to open up
the entire country as it could not
have been done otherwise in fifty j
or one hundred years,” Dr. Ruth
Gruber, special representative for
the U. S. Department of the In
terior said today.
Dr. Gruber arrived in Juneau by
plane last night from the West
ward after having spent the last
fifteen months covering every sec
tion of Northern and Western Al- i
aska. She came north on assign- j
ment from the Interior Depart-1
ment to make an economic and
social survey of the Territory and
is now on her way to Washington j
With eighteen notebooks and a fil-j
ing cabinet filled with material j
from which ■■•he will make her j
confidential report to Secretary |
Harold L. Ickes.
"When asked how long I would j
require to get complete information
regarding the Territory I said ‘one,
year’. This was received with
raised eyebrows by some peopled
who thought a lew weeks should bn
sufficient. But I now feel I should
have said 'about anti years',” Dr.
Gruber said.
Dr. Gruber 1ms travelled widely ]
in Europe, Asia and the Arctic
and is well known both as a writer
and lecturer. Her book on the Sov
iet. "I Went to the Soviet Arctic”
received glowing reports by review
ers on metropolitan newsoauers
both in this country ami abroad
Covered All Alaska
During her fifteen months in
Alaska, Dr, Gruber covered Uie
country thoroughly, usually select
ing some typical community of each
section which she would use as
headquarters until -she had ab- <
sorbed all possible information con- j
cerning both people and life in
each district. Prom Point Barrow,
to Dutch Harbor, from the mouth;
of the Kuskokwim River to the i
headwaters c.f the Yukon, she has
probably made the most detat'cd |
trip through Alaska made any one j
person.
'I see tjic whole territory devel-;
oping around aviation as the rest]
of the United States has developed
around the road systems. Airfields
will form the nucleus of communi
ties and 1 see Alaska's greatest ini - j
portance as a stepping stone to!
Asia and Europe,'1 Dr. Gruber said. |
"For proper development I be-1
lieve that Alaska should work]
along two lines. First it must be
come self-sufficient and second, its
people should link the economy of
the Territory with the whole ecun-,
omy of the United States in ]
other words, self-sufficiency and!
coordination should be combined,”;
declared the youthful economist.
Dr. Gruber has .visited practically |
every milk! airy ) stablislunent ini
Alaska and has talked with botli
officers and men at lonely out
lasts. “The heroism of our fliers
in the Aleutians cannot be over
estimated. In my opinion every
man on duty in the islands should
be awarded the Congressional Me
dal. From the moment they take
oil the fliyers "out there’ are In
combat flying and the work tjiey
are doing is splendid,’’ she said.
"Censorship regarding Alaska
must be lifted and I believe it will
be," Dr. Gruber said.
Small, petite and amazingly
youthful looking to have accomp
lished what she has as a student,
traveller and writer, Dr. Gruber
expresses herself as having fallen
completely In love with Alaska, its
people and its breath-taking beauty.
"Alaska it a frontier of the
mind as well as in actuality and
it is my feeling that the right
type of settler can build a new and
finer world in this country. Re
quirements for settlers must be
courage, vision, sweat and enthu- i
slasm,” she concluded.
Dr. Gruber plans to leave Ju
neau for Sitka tomorrow and after i
■spending a short time In South
east Alaska will proceed to Wash
ington. D. C. Following presenta
tion of her confidential report, she
hopes to use some of the material
she has gathered for articles and
books.

Congress Hanging Up
Service Record; Many
Members Are Fighting
(Continued trom Page One)
election in order to stay with the
armed forces are Infantry Maj. Al
bert L. Vreeland, East Orange, N.
J., and Lieut Frank C. Owners, Jr.,
Haworth, N. J. Vreeland has been
a reserve officer for more than 10
years in military intelligence, went
into service on Dec. 9 as a captain
and already has won a promotion.
Osmer's record is even more un
usual. Fulfilling a pledge he made
in a speech on the floor of the
House to enlist the minute the
United States got into war, he
went in as a private — the only
member of congress to start out as
a buck private in this war, probably
a record that holds for World War
I, too.
Of the three who have not been ]
heard from, it is considered posi- j
tive here that Col. Melvin J. Maas, j
St. Paul, Minn., now on duty as a j
U. S. Marine Corps flying officer j
somewhere in the Pacific, will be |
a candidate for reelection. But no j
word has been received from Capt.
Vincent F. Harrington, the 39 -
year-old Sioux City Iowan, who]
was last heard of in the Army air
corps at Stout Field, Indianapolis;
or from Lieut-Com. Eugene Worley,
of Shamrock, Tex., who is with the
Pacific fleet.
The constituents of Lieut. Com.
Lydon Johnson .from Johnson City,
Texas, didn’t wait for him to decide
to run again. While he was with
the Pacific fleet, a petition of 20
000 voters placed him on ballot and
he was nominated without opposi
tion which, in Texas, assures him
of reelection.
Three other congressmen who
are back from tire war fronts and
up for reelection are Lieut.-Com.
Francis Walter, of Pennsylvania, a
naval aviator in World War I;
Lieut.-Com. Warren G. Magnuson,
of Seattle, Wash.; and Naval Lieut.
James E. Van Zandt, of Altoona,
Pa., who also is a World War I
veteran.
The only senator to serve with ■
the armed forces in this war is
Maj. Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., the
Beverly, Mass., Republican, who was
lind up with th isolationist bloc
before Pearl Harbor, but who al
ready has had his baptism under
fire with the tank corps in Lybia.
Not that it has anything to do
with it, but neither party can claim
any corner on patriotism so far
as the service of congressmen is
concerned. Of the 11 mentioned
above, five are Republicans, six
Democrats.
