Hon. Luther Dunbar,
Mayor,
i Nome, Alaska.
Dear Mayor Dunbar:
i As you no doubt know, I have
| been investigating the possibility of
obtaining emergency aid from the
army engineers in the form of a
bulkhead or breakwater for Nome,
and I have the following to re-1
port:
i 1. A report i§ awaited by the;
; Public ^Vorks Committee ‘embrac
; ing former Rivers and Harbors
Committee) from the Corps of En
gineers in response to a committee
resolution adopted by the com
mittee on November 3. 1945 which
requested a review of reports
heretofore submitted on Nome
Harbor, with a view to determin
ing if it is advisable to modify the
existing project in any way.
2. The basic report has not yet
been made, but I have ..been in
formed that any such report wil1
take into consideration the recent
Ketchikan 41 Rain
Seattle 49 Cloudy
storms at Nome which did such
damage and that that report is ac
tively on the agenda of the Corps
of Engineers.
3. I have discussed this whole
matter with the appropriate Pub
lic Works Committee member.' and
was informed that any bill I migh
introduce authorizing construction
aids at Nome would not even be
considered until requested ■ report
had been made available to the
committee by the Corps of Eng n
eers. Therefore, if I should intro
duce legislation at this time, it
would only be a gesture and noth
ing would be gained.
4. I do not believe too much time
will be lost before the desired re
port does come in, I hope to intro
duce an individual bill for Nome
authorizing the desired and needed
construction. Of course, there is
always the possibility the army en
gineer’s report will be unfavor
able.
5. There will be no omnibus bill
this year authorizing preliminary
surveys of rivers and harbors pro
jects or authorizing construction of
any approved projects, so our
only chance is getting an individ
ual bill through, but I will have to
admit I am not at all sanguine that
this will be done.
At any rate, I wanted you to
Winter Tightens
In Europe
LONDON (/P)—Winter tightened
its weeks-long grip on central and
northern Europe today, causing
new deaths in Germany, surround
ing Scandinavia with vast ice
fields and intensifying the critical
fuel shortage in the British Isles.
Berlin police reported eight more
persons died of exposure, bringing
the toll since Dec. 1 to approxim
ately 180. Temperatures fel lto ten
degrees above zero in Berlin and
15 above in southern Germany.
Sweden was almost entirely sur
rounded by ice masses. Freight
i cars loaded with export goods

I the country’s only open port. Two
below zero was recorded in north
ern Norway, where scores of ships
were icebound.
have the whole picture and to as
sure you that this is a matter up
permost in my mind.
With best wishes, I am
Sincerely yours,
E. L. BARTLETT,
Delegate.
Ancient Feud
Flat •es Anew
MATEWAN, W. Va. (£>)—Echoes
of the Hatfield-MeCoy feud rang
today through this mountain com
munity where that storied clan
war raged in the 1380’s as Sheriff
Dan Chambers reported the death
of Hubert <Bay>McCoy and said
police Chief Allen Hatfield had
admitted shooting him.
Chambers said Chief Hatfield,
51. claimed self-defense. The sher
iff told this story:
A patrolman called on Hatfield
for assistance in a routine arrest
yesterday, and McCoy, a 28-year
old miner, accompanied the pris
oner to the town jail, where hard
words were exchanged.
McCoy threw an uppercut at
Hatfield then turned on the pa
trolman knocking him to the floor
and grabing for his gun. Hatfield
fearing McCoy would kill the pa
trolman and then turn on him,
fired and mortally wounded the
miner.
“Their heads were close togeth
er.” the sheriff quoted Hatfield as
saying, “but I fired from '-ix or
eight feet.”
