Prompt Solution
Necessary For
Alaska Shipping
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Immedi
ate solution of the Alaska trans
portation problem in interests of
national defense was advocated
today by Senator Magrtuson <D.
Wash.).
•The Alaskan transportation
problem is more serious now than
it was a year ago,” Magnuson told
a reporter. “Its immediate im
nrovement is vital to national de- ^
lcnse and I know it has caused
concern to nigh officers of our
armed forces.”
Magnuson said that not only an
imnroved steamship service was
required to serve Alaska but that
adequate road transportation must
be provided.
“The present road to Alaska
constructed by the army is not
satisfactory and cannot meet the
demands of heavy travel,” he
said. ‘ Also this road probably will
not be maintained by Canada, to
which part of it was given at the
end of hostilities.”
Magnuson said he had "every
reason to believe Russia is not ne
glecting development of trans
portation arteries in Siberia.”
The Senator said he would talk
during the day with Governor Er
nest Gruening of Alaska to go
over Alaskan funds in the interior
department appropriation bill and
“thoroughly” discuss the trans
portation service to the Territory.
