‘Water Is America’s
Lifeline To Alaska’
Says John Noyes
((JP) Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (JP) — John R.
Noyes, Alaska road commissioner,
believes that an all water route
from the United States to the Ter
ritory is “definitely the American
lifeline to Alaska and always will
be.”
He so told the House appropria
tions sub-committee handling the
interior department money bill for
the year starting July 1 in testi
mony made public today.
Noyes testified that he could
visualize the possibility of an all
American route to the Territory
using car ferries, and which would
connect with the Alaska highway
system.
“It would be very advantageous
if we could go in, stopping at
Prince Rupert, Juneau, Haines
Skagway and other ports and con
necting with the highway,” he
said, “utilizing the magnificent
waterways of southern Alaska and
the British Columbia coast for wa
ter travel instead of road, thereby
saving, I think considerable sums
of money for road construction.
“That is the only way to avoid
Canada, to go by water or air.”
Rep. Kirwan <D.-Ohio) chair
man of the interior sub-committee
asked him if he thought that his
proposal was “a good way.”
“Very definitely so,” the com
missioner replied.
Kirwan asserted that Americans
are bound to run into trouble,”
traveling over the Alaska highway
through Canada.
Noyes said there is a protected
waterway from Seattle to Alaska
where connection can be made
with the Alaska highway. But he
added part of the Haines highway
runs through Canada and totals
about 374 miles.
Tile has long been considered so
essential in Spanish houses that
“to have a house without tiles”
has become a proverb expressing
poverty.

Truman Wants
■ Vastly Expanded
Social Security
| WASHINGTON, (tP) — A new
j “stamp-book” tax-paying system
was suggested yesterday by the
administration to help make pos
sible a vast expansion of social se
curity.
The stamp system is designed
principally for farm workers and
household help who would be
among the 20.000,000 new workers
blanketed under old age insurance
if Congress approves the expan
sion.
Arthur J. Altmeyer, social se
curity commissioner, projected the
tax plan as he laid before the
j House ways and means commit
tee the details of President Tru
man’s program to:
1. Increase the coverage of old
age and survivors insurance from
30,000,000 to 50,000.000 workers;
2. Boost the insurance benefits by
about double; 3. Create a new in
surance program for disabled
workers; and 4. Reduce the “pen
sion age” for women from 65 to
60.
Stiff resistance already has
formed against Mr. Truman’s pro
posal to increase the security tax
take from the present $1,800,000,
000 a year to around $5,000,000,
000.
As part of the battle to prevent
“destitution,” Altmeyer said, the
insurance program should be ex
panded to include 6.000,000 farm
operators; 7,700,000 urban self
employed (lawyers, doctors, busi
nessmen, etc.); 3,000,000 domestic
or household workers, and 4,700,
000 hired farm workers.

150 Million Funds
| For Alaska
—
<Contined from Page One)
thorized to use $15,800 000 from
its revenues for operating ex
penses.
Salaries and expenses of the
governor and his staff were listed
at $67,700, an increase of $3,2^)0
' over this year. The usual $50,000
would go into the Territorial funds
for schools and $494,400 was al
lotted for care of the insane, an
! increase of $46,000 over the pres
ent year.
Construction and repair of roads
and trails was allotted $100,000.
O t her appropriations recom
mended for Alaska scatt e r e d
through the funds for the depart
ment’s various bureaus were:
Alaska school lands $500; town
site funds $6,000; roads, trails and
bridges <Indian bureau* $300,000;
Alaska Native Service $5,000,000
which was up $881,038; reclama
tion investigations $150,000; in
vestigation of mineral resources
$425,000; protection Alaska fur
seals and investigation, fish and
wildlife $500,700; and Alaska fish
eries and game $1,250,000. This is
an increase of $275,000 over the
combined amounts for enforce
ment of the game laws and pro
tection of Alaska fur seals in the
current year.
Under this heading $250,000 is
for construction of a hangar at
Anchorage to house patrol air
planes.
The Territory is sure to be al
lotted some of the $5,000,000 al
lotted for topographic surveys
throughout the country, Alaska
and Hawaii.
The cash allottment for the
Alaska Railroad was $8,000,000
less than the budget request.
“The complete rehabilitation
and modernization of the Alaska
Railroad is not justified,” the com
mittee reported.
“Highways and roads will ac
commodate the type of surface
transportation most conducive to
the increased settlement and de
velopment of this potentially rich
territory of the United States and
such arteries of communication
will in the future prove to be more
advantageous than rail transpor
tation in Alaska for the achieve
ment of commercial and economic
progress and military security.”

rior court jury only 13 minutes
late Friday to convict Albert M.
Ottenheimer, 44, of contempt of
the state legislature.

He is the third of six persons to
be tried on identical charges.
The two earlier trials resulted
in the acquittal of Dr. Herbert J.
Phillips and the conviction of Dr.
Ralph Gundlach, both recently
ousted from the University of
Washington faculty,
Still to come to trial are Mrs.
Florence Bean James, her hus
band, Burton, and Rachmiel For
schmeidt, Seattle senior sanitari
an. Mr. and Mrs. James are co
