Consolidation Of
Gov’t Businesses
In Alaska Urged
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Consolid
ation of all government business
type activities in Alaska was re
commended by the House Appro
priations Committee Friday.
The committee suggested that
studies of possible legislation be
made by the Bureau of the Bud
get. It added:
“The committee will expect
... a full report on this subject
at the time of presentation of the
budget for 1954.” j
The views were expressed in a j
report on the Army’s appropria
tion request for the Alaska Com
munication System. The commit
tee recommended $U,400,000, a
reduction of $1,980,700 from the
requested amount.
The committee said it had re
commended funds for all author
ized works except those “for
which apparently there is no' need
and which the Army has proposed
be deauthorized.”
It then suggested the Army con- |
sider transferring the Alaska
Communication System to a man
agement fund and recommended
that the Budget Bureau review all
business - type activities in the
territory—“including construction
of housing and the Alaska Rail
road.” I
The committee added: “It has
been apparent for some time, with
the continued economic growth of
this territory, that the combined
military and commercial opera
tion of these enterprises has not
been overly satisfactory from
either a military or fiscal stand
point and should be separated.”

Asks Investigation
Of Airfield Bid
ANCHORAGE, (/P) — Charging
that the Comptroller General of
the United States has been “mis
led by others and made the vic
tim of a political squabble in
volving statehood,’’ territorial di
rector of aviation Tony Schwamm
Saturday wired Lindsay Warren
asking a full investigation of the
Palmer airport application.
Schwamm said “I personally
woufd resign as director if it
can be shown that I, or any other
territorial officer, profited or in
tended to profit in any way from
this transaction.
“Our only thought in applying
for federal aid,” he continued,
“was to claim funds we legally,
justly are entitled to under the
law which Congress enacted in
order to provide airports for Al
aska, other territories and states.”
“In reviewing the case, we feel
it should be emphasized that Sen
ator Butler, arch-enemy of Alaska
statehood, introduced the original
resolution on the floor of the Sen
ate requesting an investigation of
the Palmer airport construction.
“No complete investigation into
the manner in which the Alaska
Department of Aviation conducted
the project ever was made. We
demand a complete review of all (
facts by an impartial agency.”
Collusion Given as Reason
For Refusal of Alaska
Request for Airport Grant
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Comp
troller General Lindsay Warren
has rejected an Alaska request
for payment of a $148,922 federal
grant toward cost of the Palmer,
Alaska, airport, Sen. Butler <R
Neb) said Friday.
Warren based his action on a
finding of “collusion between of
ficials of the territory and those
of Civil Aeronautics Administra
tion in Alaska to the end that the
territory might receive credit in
the grant agreement for funds
which it had previously expended
in improving the airport.”

Doubt of Nov. Win
Taft’s Only Hurdle
To Nomination
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Senator
Robert A. Taft said today the sole
remaining hurdle to his nomina
tion for President by the Republi
cans is a “mistaken belief” by
some delegates that he can’t win
in November.
“The only thing anybody has
got against me is the claim that I
can’t carry the election and there
is no basis for that,” he declared.
“It is the only effective argument
left. There is no other argument.”
Repeating his claim that he has
about half of the 1.206 delegates,
Taft said he expects to go into the
convention with the largest num
ber of delegates anybody has had
a" the opening for4 many years.
Making a speech at the Univer
sity of Virginia on foreign policy,
he made three major points:
1— He believes economic aid to j
western Europe should now be i
cut off.
2— The United States should re
pudiate the Yalta agreement.
3— A policy of “infiltration and
propaganda,” directed at the satel
lite Communist nations, should be
undertaken immediately by this
country.
