Vladimir Kazakevich To Speak On Russia's Economy T d With something of the pioneer spirit, the serviceman contemplating a postwar job in Alaska will find am- ple opportunities, Prof. Dow V. Bax- ter of the School of Forestry and, Conservation stated in a Daily inter- view.- "The number of inquiries that come to my attention, together with letters from servicemen who have been in Alaska," Prof. Baxter said. "indicate that there is an increasing awareness of Alaska's potentialities, for living in the territory and for its recreational features for visitors. The outlook for profitable operation of re- sorts is good not only because of the superb mountains, glaciers, and streams but also because Alaska has become a crossroads for world trav- els." Recreation an Important Industry "Recreation," he continued, "is certain to be an important industry in Alaska, and the job of taking care of visitors a big one; however, it will be mostly seasonal and not a year- round affair. One of my friends, for example, operates a fishing lodge dur- ing the summer and teaches school during the winter. Combinations of many different sorts will be made by the most successful resort owners." Transportional and recreational facilities mustbesdeleloped wisely in order not to destroy the game, fish, and natural resources that are Alaska's main attraction, Prof. Bax- ter warned. It is all too easy, he said, to develop an area to such anhextent that its attractions are developed out of existence. Work for United States "The majority of my Alaskan friends earn their living by working for the United States government or by fishing, fish-canning or mining. Most Federal jobs of a permanent nature will be civil service. Although there is gold in Alaska, prospecting is a decided gamble," he pointed out, "and the main possibilities in this field lie in working for a good min- ing company." There is no doubt, he said, but that agriculture can furnish a means of Students Collect UnsoldBok Unsold books held by the Student Book Exchange will be distributed from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays until next Wednesday and from 10 a.m. to noon this Saturday at Lane Hall. Checks for the books sold at the Exchange sales room in the League have been mailed together with no- tices explaining the return of unsold books. Persons calling for their books are asked to bring their receiptsin order to prove their claims for texts. livelihood for a few settlers. There are many areas, such as the Mata- nuska Valley, where immense cab- bages, turnips, and other vegetables can be grown successfully. The mar- keting problem isapt to be a serious one however, at least after the size of the armed forces now stationed there is reduced. "I feel that one of the potentialities not yet developed," Prof. Baxter added, "is the paper industry. The U. S. Forest Service is anxious to de- velop such an activity, which will offer permanent work for so many." Optimistic about Future "I am optimistic about Alaska's future," Prof. Baxter concluded "but the veteran thinking of going there should understand that although wages are high, the cost of living is also high, and he should fully under- stand the situation he will face. Education Club To Plan Work A meeting to consider the future of the Undergraduate Education Club will be held at 4 p. m. today in the University High School Auditorium. The club was organized last year to meet the needs of the undergradu- ate education students. A primary aim of the organization is to be of service to the University and the community. Last year the club spon- sored a student newspaper, a choir, and worked with the children in the University Hospital. Similar projects are expected to continue this year. Other aims of the club are to ac- quaint students with mutual interests, and to develop a professional attitude. The Undergraduate Committee hopes there will be sufficient interest shown by education students to war- rant continuing the club. Alaska wants people who hope to be permanent settlers, and if the veteran goes there to live, he should go with the expectation of remaining." Prof. Baxter has made several ex- peditions in Alaska, the last one in 1941. In addition to several technical papers on Alaska such as "Forest and Fungus Succession in the Lower Yu- kon," he has written a number of ar- ticles including "Photographic For- ay," "Modern Frontier," and "I'll Take the Byway." Harfs-t Speaks On .Proposed Super-Highway "Great benefits for Ann Arbor can be expected from the proposed Chi- cago-Detroit express highway," said Richard Harfst, general manager of the Automobile Club of Michigan. Speaking to a Rotary Club audi- ence yesterday, Harfst claimed that football fans could leave Chicago as late as midmorning and still arrive in adequate time for a 2 p. m. kickoff. Addressing the same audience, Samuel C. Hadden, 'consulting engi- neer for the proposed highway, stated that the expressway was almost cer- tain to run within a mile or two of Ann Arbor in linking up with the Wil- low Run expressway. The highway has been given top priority by the government to receive federal aid under the Federal Aid Highway Act. Newcomb To Address Sociologist Convention Prof. Theodore Newcomb of the sociology department will address a convention of sociologists at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin tomorrow. "Russia's Economy and Postwar Reconstruction" will be discussed by; Vladipir D. Kazakevich, of the Na- tional Council of American-Soviet Friendship, at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow in the Rackham Amphitheatre. A lecturer for the Council's Com- mittee on Education, he has taught economics and finance at Columbia University and in the American In- stitute of Banking. Born in St. Petersburg Kazakevich was born in St. Peters- burg. He was educated in a Russian school at Harbin, Manchuria, where his father worked as engineer and general manager of a railroad. After attending the University of California and Columbia University, he was employed by the New York Herald Tribune as a reviewer of eco- nomic books. He has also been em- ployed by the National Bureau of Economic Research, the Twentieth Openings Reported For Nursery School The Perry Nursery School located at 330 Packard St., has a few vacan- cies that may be filled by children of veterans, Mrs. Loomis of the school announced. The school, operated for children of nursery and kindergarten age, is open from 6:45 a.m. until 5:45 p.m. Children of working mothers and of veterans' families are enrolled. Formerly operating on federal funds, the nursery now must charge $25 a month for 5-day-a-week care. Any veteran interested in this nur- sery service should call 7282. Fund, the Metropolitan Life Insur- ance Company and the Guaranty Trust Company. Auth'o of New Book Kazakevich is the author of "The USSR in Reconstruction," to be pub- lished soon by the American Russian Institute. He has collaborated with H. 'P. Wil- lis and J. M. Chapman on two books, "The Banking Situation," and "The Economics' of Inflation," and has contributed to several symposium volumes, "Big Business-its Growth and Place," and "How Profitable Is Big Business." During the summers of 1943-44, Kazakevich lectured at Cornell Uni- versity on "Soviet Economy-Theory and Practice." Club Reports Big Enrollment New life has been given to the University Forestry Club by the en- rollment of 74 undergraduates and six graduate students tin the School of Forestry and Conservation. At the first meeting plans were made for the rebirth of the tradi- tional bonfire, one of the wartime casualties of the club. Michigan for- esters will revive the tradition begun in the fall of 1907 when they gather tomorrow for an evening of songs and food around a campfire in the heart of the Saginaw Forest. Trucks will leave the Natural Sci- ence Building at 5:30 p. m. Friday. The foresters are asked to wear warm clothing. I AN OPTICL SERVIC AN OPTICAL SERVICE FOR THE STUDENT...
