Magnuson Believes
Russia More Interested
In Expansion in Asia
SEATTLE, (/P)— Senator Mag
nuson said yesterday in Korea he
believes Russia is more interested
in expansion in Asia than she is
in Europe.
In a Post-Intelligencer dispatch
received here the Senator told
Lloyd Stackhouse, a P. I. staff
member: “I think the Russians
have about given up their terri
torial ambitions in Europe for the
time being. I think Russia is more
interested in Asia, and especially
Japan, right now.”
Magnuson had just completed
a jeep and helicopter tour of Uni
ted Nations front line positions
when he spoke to reporters at the
headquarters of Lt. Gen. Edward
M. Almond.

Washington News - Letter
By Mary Lee Council
Secretary to E. L. (Bob) Bartlett*
Delegate in Congress from Alaska
i
The supplemental appropriation
bill which passed the House this
week contains $11 million for pro
jects in Alaska including a hos
pital for Bethel, roads in the Ton
gass National Forest and shop
facilities for The Alaska Railroad.
The measure, which now goes
I
to the Senate for action, seeks to
supply supplemental appropria
tions for the fiscal year ending
this June.
V
Of the total for J Alaska, $3Vfe
million would go for construction
of a 70-bed Alaska Native Service |
hospital at Bethel to replace the!
hospital destroyed by fire last J
November. Four million dollars
are earmarked in the bill for re
placing shop facilities for The
Alaska Railroad at Anchorage
which were lost in a fire last
January. The original request
for replacement amounted to $4V6
million but the request was re
duced to $4 million. “It is recog
nized that the facilities must be
provided,” the committee report
stated, “but by consolidating the
structures, savings can be accom
plished.' Accordingly, $4 million is
recommended, and is to cover the
entire project presented, including
machinery* and other items. Stan
dard fireproofing precautions
should be strictly observed in the
new construction.”
The remainder of the $11 mil
lion supplemental requests for
Alaska amounts to $3V6 million
for highways in the Tongass Na
tional Forest. The funds are to be
used for surveys, construction, re
construction and maintenance of
