Economic Survey
On U.S.-Alaska Rail
Link A Possibility
The possibility of a joint U. S.
Canada economic survey of a pro
posed rail link between Seattle
and Alaska “within a few weeks,”
was announced Monday by Sen
Warren G. Magnuson (D.-Wash.)
The Washington Senator said
he had learned from Washington,
D. C., that the idea for the sur
vey will be presented to the Ca
nadian cabinet shortly. The study
will determine the amount of ton
nage which might be moved over
the line and possible development
along the route.
Authorization for the survey
was contained in a bill introduced
by Magnuson and later signed
into law by President Truman.
Interest in the rail link has
heightened in recent months with
the outbreak of the Korean situa
tion. The proposed line would go
north through British Columbia,
extending from the terminus of
the Pacific Great Eastern at
Prince George.
In the windup of his election
campaign Monday, Magnuson also
quoted Alaska Gov. Ernest Gruen
ing as urging his re-election.
The Democratic incumbent said
he had received a communication
from Gruening that contained this
praise:
“Alaskans have to depend large
ly on others for help because they
have no vote in Congress ... It
was v tural to call upon Senat 1
Magnuson, and it was never in
n. He has always gor.a to bat
for the people of Alaski. . . . li*
has made an enduring contribu
tion to Alaska’s progress and the
nation’s security.”
Gruening, too, is a Democrat.
Record October
i
U. S. Employment
WASHINGTON, (JP)—Some 61,
765.000 Americans were working
last month, setting an all-time
j record for October. And only 1,
940.000 were listed as unemployed
—the smallest number in the past
two years.
But government officials con
cerned with manpower problems
! are worried. Defense industries
aer expected to need an extra 2,
i 500,000 or more workers by next
summer. And the armed services,
aiming at 3,000,000-man goal, are
expanding daily.
The census bureau, which re
ported the job figures Friday, said
the 401,000 fall-off in the number
of unemployed resulted from two
factors: draft calls cut down the
size of the working force, and
good weather allowed expansion
in farm employment.
.
The Square Sinnei is due in
Dutch Harbor today where it will
discharge freight and proceed
south. Agent J. J. Dillon, who is
on board, plans to return this
week via Anchorage.
