REWARD PENINSULA’S IMPORTANCE
TO U S. CONFIRMED
The report of the Alaskan Task Force has been re
ceived and the opening letter of transmittal to the
Chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services
states— “A strong Alaska is essential to our security.
Our continental defenses can be no stronger than our
Alaskan defenses. The security of every American
home begins in the snows of Alaska. I, believe that the
Senate and the nation owe a particular deht of gratitude
to Senators Hunt. Staltonsall and Morse for their ob
jective and constructive report on Alaskan strength
and weakness.”
The report includes some very revealing facts about
the Second Division which back up substantially what
the residents of this area have sought in the way of
more defense for the coasts of Alaska along the Bering
Sea.
On tin, the Bureau of Mines report shows “the only
tin deposits of possible immediate significance are
those in Seward peninsula. The conclusion is strength
ened by the fact that Alaska accounted for 93.7% of the
total domestic production between the years 1910 and
1949.”
On oil at Barrow, it was revealed that two wells pro
duce a total of 800 barrels a day and that natural gas
heats the Navy’s camp. “The hope is entertained that a
major oil discovery will be made before the project
ends in 1952.”
A reconnaissance survey for a pipeline from the re
serve to Seward or Valdez shows the significance of the
value of this fuel supply to the Whole TJ.S.A.
So we repeat our frequently-voiced opinion of more
defenses, more roads and better airfields for Second
Division. I

$50,000 to Fight Hair Seal
The Senate passed and sent to
the House a bill providing $50,000
for Fisheries Department to hire
hunters and buy supplies from the
war against salmon - destroying
hair seals and sea lions.
Heretofore the main, attack
against them has been by paying
bounties which totaled a stagger
ing $300,000 for the present bien
nium. The Senate was advised
dynamite was included in the am
munition because seal hunters
would use it like lane mines to de
stroy seals on beaches. The bill
was sponsored by Sen. Percy Ip
t alook (RdCotzpbue), ,and EH ton
Engstrom (tR-Juneau).
The House passed a bill by Rep.
C. Chester Carlson (D-Cordova)
to eliminate a year's provision
for employers’ care of injured
workers. It was amended, how
ever, to 18 months, instead of in
definitely.
Most bills passed were oi a mi
nor or technical nature.
Both Houses rejected the con
ference committee report on the
controversial 40-hour week over
time pay section of the wage
hour bill. The House voted 13-11;
the Senate 10-6.
Committee recommendations in
cluded modification of exemptions
written into Jhe bill in the Senate.
They eliminated from the exemp
tions retail service employes, the
seafood canning industry and bus
lines.
Both Houses then named free
conference copifluftees which can
bring b&ck a completely redrafted
bill, if members desire.

Garnick’s argument that cost of

necessary to keep capable em
ployes and keep them half-way
satisfied.
After Snider said he would re
turn in the afternoon, Albert
White, controversial Republican
deader, entered the picture with
'this statement: *The Republican
party- in Alaska is solidly behind
Snider. He speahe tor the pasty.

dpubt was at the instigation of
Albert White, with whom he lives.
I the incident very much,
but it points up the fact that Re
publicans are split over party
leadership. As an elected Re
publican I feel it is the duty of
all Republicans to see that bosses
tifce White should be eliminated
from the party.”
