ACS To Expand
Long Distance
^ Phone Facilities
SEATTLE, August 9 (AMNS>—
Expansion of long-distance tele
phone facilities in the Territory
of Alaska will be completed in
1952, and a full operational peak
will be reached in 1953, Col. Fred
P. Andrews, commanding officer
of the Alaska Communication
System announced here.
A long line project, which will
cost about $5,000,000,000 for wire
and plant installations, includes
the construction of new long
distance circuits between Anchor
age and Tok Junction, which will
tie into existing lines along the
Alaska Highway. Completion of
this project will mean quicker and
better service between Anchor
age and Fairbanks, and between
Anchorage and the continental
United States. At present, most
telephone calls from Anchorage to
the States are transmitted by
* radio-telephone rather than land
line telephone. Whefl traffic is
light over land lines, some of these
calls are carried that way, but
must be routed via Fairbanks. The
projected tie-in with the Alaska
Highway telephone system will
eliminate this circuitous routing.
Land line construction is being
handled primarily by the Western
Electric Company, under contract
to the Signal Corps, U. S. Army,
^ o*f which the Alaska Comunication
System is a unit. Building con
struction is being done by the
Alaska District, Corps of Engin
eers, U. S. Army. >

W.C.T.U. Blasts
! Brewers, Distillers
Drink Promotion
i
BOSTON, (/P) — Distillers and
brewers were blasted Saturday by
an officer of the Woman’s Chris
tian Temperance Union for “al
most entirely abandoning barroom
drink promotion to go all-out to
recruit living room and kitchen
drinkers among women and young
people.”
Mrs. B. Blance Butts of Evan
ston, 111., corresponding secretary
! of the 400,000-member organiza
tion, told delegates to the group’s
annual convention:
“Nearly all liquor and beer ad
i vertising is increasingly promot
! ing or soliciting home drinking.
The solicitation to drink that we
hear over the radio and television
is high - pressure solicitation,
voiced by announcers who would
obviously be fired if they drank
as much as they ask their listen
ers to drink.”
In an address, Mrs. D. Leigh
Colvin, president cff the WCTU,
blasted “American diplomacy
with whiskey on its breath” and
charged that heavy drinking in
Washington “invites diplomatic
disaster at one end of the coun
try” while drinking in Alaska j
“asks for a Pearl Harbor at an- j
I other.”
