POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF ATOM
BLAST ON ALASKA RUN IS
SALMON INDUSTRY WARNING
By the Alaska Salmon Institute
SEATTLE— Careful considera
tion should be given to the possi
ble effect an atom blast would
have on Alaska’s salmon runs be
fore any decision is made to have
a test explosion on the Aleutian
Island Chain.
Such was the statement of the
Alaska Salmon Institute follow
ing Sam Hayes’ broadcast of his
“Weekly Spectator” over all radio
stations in the Territory recently.
In his broadcast, Hayes noted
news commentator, said the Atom
ic Energy Commission in search
of a locale for further atomic tests
might well pick the Aleutians be
cause of climatic conditions there.
Hayes said the Aleutians would
be ideal for sub-surface explosion
tests.
A spokesman for 4he Institute
pointed out today that, although
his group sponsors Hayes’ weekly
broadcasts, it attempts to exercise
no editorial control over the con-;
tent.
“All of us connected with the
salmon industry and, in fact, ev
eryone in the Territory would
want to be certain these tests
could in no way have an unfa- j
vorable effect on salmon runs,”
the spokesman continued. “We
feel rareful study should be made
of this possibility if the day comes
when the Aleutians are being con
sidered seriously.”

Alaska Road Program
Closely Geared to Needs
of National Defense
JUNEAU — The Alaska road
program for 1952 is closely gear
ed to the needs of National De
fense. This is required by the
present national emergency. Re
construction and improvement of
the main roads, together with
their hard surfacing with a
“blacktop” surface, will continue
to receive the major emphasis.
Much additional reconstruction
■and improvement, replacement of
bridges, and elimination of driv
ing hazards will accompany the
work of hard surfacing. At the
same time the construction of the
new Seward-Anchorage Highway
along Turnagain Arm will be
pushed to completion, and this
Highway, when finished, will be
one of the most useful and beauti
ful roads in Alaska. Work on
other roads now under construc
tion will be continued, but no new
projects have been authorized ex
cept those with definite National
Defense significance.
During the summer of 1951, it
is anticipated that the new road
extending from the Alaska High
way at Tetlin Junction, near Tok,
to Eagle, Alaska, and Dawson,
Yukon Territory, will be com
pleted in passable condition all
the way to Eagle.
Work will be continued upon
the new road to connect Mt. Mc
Kinley National Park with the
main Alaska road system.
Funds have been requested for
a new bridge across the Chena
River at Fairbanks, and it is
hoped that this important project
can be commenced during the
coming season.
Seward Peninsula Road Work
It isv proposed to continue the
usual maintenance of the Nome
road system. These roads include
the Nome-Council Road which
was completed in 1950, the Sew
ard Peninsula Tram Road, extend
ing 80 miles northward from
Nome, and its extension the Bun
ker Hill-Taylor Road serving the
miners of the Kougarok. Assist
ance is planned during the com
ing summer to provide access tc
the operations (Yf the United
States Tin Corporation at Lost
River west of Nome, an operation
in which the United States Bureau
of Mines is interested. Local roads
at Deering, Takotna, Dillingham,
Iliiamna, Talkeetna, Colorado,
Ferry, Ruby, Manley Hot Springs,
Rampart Wiseman, and many
other isolated localities will be
given maintenance, and where
possible, improved.

water-repellent, has been devel
oped for handbags and hats.
