Gavin said he was not opposed
o a railroad if it were built for
•easons of military security, but
le said it could not be justified on
economic grounds. He cited the
immense vblume of traffic which
comes across the United States on
the northern transcontinentals to
Seattle docks for shipment to
Alaska, and he said much of that
volume could be expected to fall
off with a railroad built north
ward.
“I was in Seattle at the time of
the Alaska gold rush,” he said,
“and I saw Seattle start to become
a city at that time. It has become
a city because it is the outfitting
point for the Territory.”

l
(Continued from Page One)
most streams are now producing'
good catches, especially greyling, I
with trout just beginning to run.
Over the past week-end large,
catches of greyling are reported i
from upper Nome river, Pilgrim
river, Stewart river and Flambo
river. Many nineteen to twenty-j
one inch greyling taken weighing)
up to three pounds. Vic Hall at,
White Mountain reports good fish
ing in that vicinity and believes
record fish will be taken there.
Also good pike fishing available a
short distance from the village.
From all appearances the boys
from ACS are out to win some of
these prizes. Almost every mail
brings in fishing equipment of one
kind or another and week-ends
finds about half the detachment
out trying for the big ones. Some
of the boys are in second place
for both greyling and trout.
Attention again invited for all
interested to visit the Nome Hard
ware and inspect these beautiful
glass fishing rods being given as
first prizes. Remember, first prize
in each of the three classes wins
a fine glass rod.
House Committee
In Turmoil
Over “Leak”
WASHINGTON. (/P) — The
House un-American activi ties
committee seethed yesterday with
a , behind-the-scenes row over
what one member called “a vio
lation of an oath” by a commit
; tee member or staff aide.
It seems that a solemn promise
; not to talk was exacted from ev
! eryone present when Alger Hiss,
former state department official,
testiied at a closed-door session
Monday. Yet morning papers pub
lished many details of what went
' on.
One angry member told report
: ers yesterday that he will demand
i that the committee investigate the
“leak.” He asked them not to use
his name until he makes his for
mal demand at the committee’s
next session.
Committee members who could
be reached would not comment.
The committee has recessed its
general investigation of alleged
communist spying for three
weeks, but plans a meeting next
I week to bring Hiss and Whittaker
face to face.
