Has Big Job in New
A. R. C. Position
•Continued from Page One)
served two years in the Juneau
office and prior to that he work
ed 15 years in highway and air
port construction at Cold Bay,
Shemva and Attu. He is a former
membe rof the Montana State
v Highway Commission.
His big problem will be comple
tion of the Anchorage-Seward
highway, forging a highway link
between the port town and the
hub city by September, 1951. Con
gress recently approved $7,500,000
to bring a portion of this highway
up to the standard of the new
links.
Also important is a project con
necting Paxton on the Richard
/ son Highway with McKinley Park,
opening the great national park
area to the ever-increasing num
ber of highway travelers who
now must take a train to reach
North America’s greatest moun
tain.
During the 1950 construction
season much progress was made.
Col. John R. Noyes, ARC chief,
called 1950 “a banner year in ev
ery way.”
Noyes predicts that travelers
will be able to drive from Anchor
age to Fairbanks over a complete
yl paved highway within a mat
ter of two years.
Already paved are 95 miles from
Fairbanks to Big Delta, 89 miles
from Anchorage to the Glenn
Highway, 32 miles southwest of
GlenAllen, and seevral miles of
roads in the greater Anchorage
area. On the Alaska Highway 65
miles have been paved near Tok
Junction and 35 miles at Haines.
* ARC crews are pioneering a
road from Eagle, north to Fair
banks, to Forty Mile, in the Yu
kon Territory. Only 1,300 yards
remain to be covered. Engineers
term the stretch the toughest ever
tackled by the ARC, and Alaska
has been noted for tough road
building problems .
! Dept. Of Health
Tuberculin Tests
Nearly 22,000
Ruth Grover, clinic nurse of the
Alaska Department of Health ar
rived in Nome yesterday on her
way north to give BCG vaccina
tions against tuberculosis in vil
lages on the Seward Peninsula
and and along the Upper Yukon,
according to an announcement
from the Department of Health.
Since the program began two
years ago, nearly 22,000 individ
uals have been tuberculin tested,
and of thse over 8,000 with little
resiseance to tuberculosis have re
ceived BCG as one phase of the
department’s tuberculosis control
program, health officials said.
I They added that all remote vil
1 lages will have received BCG by
next summer and requests for a
similar program have been re
ceived from Alaskan cities.
! Dr. Wendell C. Matthews, Tu
berculosis Consultant with the
Department of Health, said that a
study began in 1935 by Doctors
Aranson and Palmer among 3,000
natives in Alaska and the United ;
States demonstrated that BCG re-1
duced the tuberculosis death rate 1
to one-seventh and the number of
cases to one-fourth. Another study
( conducted by Canadian health of- j
ficials among 4,000 nurses show-1
ed that BCG reduced the tuber- j
culasis rate to less than one- i
fourth.
Dr. Matthews added that al- j
the period of protection by BCG !
is still unknown, partial protec- j
tion may last as long as five (
years.
Miss Grover will visit Teller,)
Teller Mission, Wales, Nome, j
Council, Kokrines, Ruby, Galena, I
Koyukuk and Kaltag on her pres
ent field trip. \

A-Bomb Planes
Land On Carriers
WASHINGTON, UP) — For the
j first time, big planes capable of
carrying atom bombs have landed
on an aircraft carrier at sea.
In announcing this, the navy
identified the planes as the AJ-1
attack bomber. It weighs more
than 17 tons and has a speed in
excess of 350 miles an hour.
Both the AJ-1 and the Neptune
P2V long range patrol bomber j
previously have taken off from
carriers. Thus, the latest develop
| ment considerably widens the pos
sibility of delivering a-bombs
from carriers to distant targets.
A squadron of unloaded AJ-l’s;
made separate landings on the
carrier Carol Sea off the Virginia J
Capes during recent exercises.
The AJ-1. made by the North)
American Aviation, Inc., at its!
Downey, Calif., plant, is the J
navy’s latest and heaviest carrier j
plane.
