Land Along Alcan
To Be Opened
For Settlement
(By Varn Haughland)
(■(/P) Special Washington Service*
WASHINGTON, (/P)—‘The inte
rior department is preparing to
open land along the Alaska High
way to settlement, a bit too late
for development this summe".
An official of the department’s
bureau of land management, who
withheld his name, said the war
department has relinquished the
strip of land through Alaska upon
which the road is built, thus re
turning the land to interior de
partment jurisdiction.
Earlier thies week, assistant sec
retary of the interior William E.
Wame told reporters the depart
ment is working on plans for the
establishment of communities
along the road, which now is so
thinly settled as to be unsuitable
for tourist use.
The army withdrew from publ;r
land route 20 miles wide upon
which to build the first land route
linking the Territory to the United
States.
Later the width of the armv
held strip was reduced to five
miles. The most recent action, re
turning all of the land to the in
terior department, is expected to
be announced within a few days.
The interior department is ex
pected to make attractive sites
along the road, in its Alaska por
tions, available to builders of ho
tels, stores, garages and other
properties which will provide fa
cilities for travelers and help de
velop the Territory.
The road extends for 1,520 miles
from Dawson Creek, B. C., to
Fairbanks. Warne said Canada
has made considerable progress
with its roadside development.
Amalgamation
Won’t Cut Service
SEATTLE (/P)—The amalgama
tion of the 13th and 17th coast
guard districts will bring no re
duction in service to fishermen
and mariners in Alaska, Commo
dore J. E. Stika, commander of
the combined districts, said today.
All units in the Territory will
be served by a large base at
Ketchikan and they will continue
with an authorized complement
of approximately 630 officers and
men, he said. He assumed com
mand Tuesday.
Nine sea-going vessels of vari
ous sizes, including at least one
155-foot cutter, will be operated
and the Annette island air base
will be maintained, as well as the
lifeboat station at Nome. Capt.
Niels, S. Haugen, former chief of
staff for the Alaskan district, will
represent Commodore Stika in
Alaska.
The change should reduce oper
ating costs and promote greater
efficiency, he said.
LT. STANLEY MORGAN
IN HOSPITAL
Lt. Stanley Morgan, officer in
charge of the Alaska Communica
tion System, is in the hospital and
is reported getting along nicely.
Among its new facilities are ho
tels at Watson Lake and Teslin
Lake.
The early goal, in the Alaskan
sector, is for settlements no more
than 100 mile sapart.
The road is gravel surfaced
arr* men the year around. A Ca
nadian and American board
screens would-be travelers to
make sure that they and their ve
hicles are capable of making the
trip.
Navy To Be At
Barrow In July
SEATTLE, (/P)—Six naval ves
sels, including an ice breaker, the
Burton Island, will leave Seattle
for Point Barrow and the Pribilof
Islands late in July to supply
naval activities and other govern
ment agencies in North Alaska,
the 13th naval district announced
today.
The vessels are scheduled to ar
rive at Point Barrow early in
August, at the time of year when
an offshore wind drives the ice
pack away from the shore at in
frequent intervals.
Reconnaissance of ice conditions
will be made by naval planes be
fore the ships reach Icy Cape.
Daily surveys of ice conditions
will be made from Icy Cape to
Point Barrow.
The ships will be under com
mand of Capt. B. S. Anderson,
' Coronado, Calif.

| Railroads Ask
j Freight Hike j
WASHINGTON, (/P)—'The na
tion’s railroads today asked for a
new increase in freight rates es
timated to yield approximately
$1,091,000,000 a year additional
revenues.
A total of 699 carriers repre
senting all the operating lines,
filed a joint petition with the In
terstate Commerce Commission
asking the increase and terming it
necessary to “bridge the gap” be
tween present railroad revenue
, and increased costs of operations.
The lines involved have estim
ated their freight revenues for
1947 at $6,812,000,000 based on
present rates.
Farley Disliked
Third Term Idea
WASHINGTON, OP)—James A.
Farley said today his split with
Franklin D. Roosevelt became fi
nal in the summer of 1940 when
the President decided to run for a
third term.
A year earlier, Farley said,
Roosevelt had told him he would
not do so.
The former Democratic national
chairman and postmaster general,
told of his “showdown with the
boss’ in the fourth of a series of
articles in Collier’s. The confei
ence took place at Hyde Park, if.
Y., sometime before the July
Democratic convention.
Farley said he never had any
doubt that Roosevelt made up his
mind to run long before and
added:
“I am certain he had sold him
self the idea thdt he was the only
one qualified to serve during that
particular period of the nation’s
history. He believed, I am sure,
that the world was in a terrible
plight and he hated to turn over
the reins of government to some
one eise.”
BRIDAL SHOWER HELD
FOR EDITH ROBERTSON
Last evening a bridal shower
was given at the home of Mrs. B.
G. Baker in honor of Miss Edith
Robertson, who plans in the near
future to become the bride of Don
Wright of the grocery department
of Polet’s Store. Miss Robertson
was the recipient of many lovely
pieces of linen which were tucked
away under a big pink umbrella.
D e 1 i c i ous refreshments were
served by the hostess.
