Surveying Alaska
Civilian Defense
Shelter Needs
JUNEAU, (/P)—A survey is be
ing made to determine Alaska’s
shelter needs under the civilian
■defense program.
That was one of the develop
ments reported ot the Legislature
by Col. Joseph Alexander, Alaska
civilian defense head, after his re
turn from the national conference
in Washington.
“This will include the maxi
mum use of existing structures
through alteration and renovation
and the construction of new shel
ters,” said the statement issued
after an executive session at
which Colonel Alexander reported
along with Dr. C. Earl Albrecht,
deputy director of Civilian De- j
fense. Stuart Campbell, field rep
resentative for the Federal Civil
ian Defense Agency, also attend
ed. Campbell is making a survey
of civil defense needs and prepar
ations in Alaska.
Legislators said Alexander sug- ’
r ]
gested a Territorial civilian de-!
fense of $1,100,000. Of that amount
$800,000 would qualify for federal
matching, to raise the total to
$1,900,000. |
The civilian defense officials
reported the FCDA recognizes
that Alaska warrants special con
sideration because of its position
i and military installations.
The post-session announcement
said: I

“They reported there are three
methods to be used in financing i
the civil defense program. First,
the federal government will carry
100 per cent of financing such
things as the stockpiling of medi
cal supplies, control centers, air
raid warning systems, etc.
“Second, the Territory and mu
nicipalities will carry 100 per cent
of the financing of such things as ,
the Territorial operation of the,
program and all items of a person

Senate OK’s Air
port, Safety Bill
JUNEAU, (£>)—The Alaska Sen
ate approved a measure aimed at
eliminating airport hazards Sat
urday.
The bill, approved 15 to 0,
would allow the director of avia
tion to prohibit buildings, trees,
or other obstructions for a dis
tance equal to a runway width
and length beyond each end of an
airport.
Aviation director Tony Schwam
told Senators there is no law now
in effect to prohibit the building
of obstructions next to airports
in the Territory.
The measure would give the
aviation director power to enforce
conformance to federal safety
regulations.
Schwam picked Merrill field
near Anchorage as one of the
airports in need of further regu
lations. He said the Chugach Co.
of Anchorage planned installa
tion of power lines near the air
port which would make the field
unsafe for use by DC-3 and C-46
transports.
