Pass Bill To
Increase Farming
In Alaska
WASHINGTON, — Legisla
tion passed by the House Monday
can be "of real importance in the
agricultural development of Alas
ka,” Delegate Bartlett believes.
The Territorial Delegate spoke
Monday during House considera
tion of a bill extending the opera
tion of all the farm credit admin
istration activities to Puerto Rico,
Alaska and Hawaii.
Bartlett said there is no reason
why Alaska should not be on par
ity with other States and Terri
tories and the fact that such par
ity has not existed is one of the
primary reasons why "there has
not been more rapid and more ef
fective utilization of Alaska’s farm
potentialities."
"There have been obvious dis
criminations against the Alaska
farmer," Bartlett said. "At the
present time there are available to
him only the very limited facili
ties of the Farmers Home admin
istration.
Bartlett estimated that 65.000
miles of Alaska is suitable for ag
riculture. He said that across the
Bering Straits the Soviet govern
ment in the same latitudes and
with comparable soil conditions
"has built up a great and ever in
creasing agriculture industry."
Japs Did Not Chart
Aleutian Islands
SEATTLE, — The wartime
rumors that the Japanese had bet
ter maps of the Aleutians than
our own were deflated officially
i recently.
"I’m glad to be able to explode
that ridiculous report,” said Rear
t Adm. L. O. Colbert, director of
the United States coast and geo
! detie survey. “I have heard the
story a number of times.”
The story about the supposedly
superior Japanese charts was pop
ular scuttlebutt 'among service
men stationed in the Aleutians
during the second world war.
"In all the Japanese equipment
taken during or after the war. no
one ever found a map or chart of
Alaska or the Aleutian Islands.”
Admiral Colbert said duripg a
brief stop here after an inspection
tour in the Territory.
"The Japanese did much fishing
but no charting in Alaskan wa
ters. If they had made maps, they
would not have moved into Kiska,
one of the poorest excuses for a
naval base they could find.”
Admiral Colbert said helicopters
were used for the first time in
coast and geodetic survey work in
Alaska this year, and are proving
"highly valuable” in tundra ter
rain where it is impossible to
walk.

War II Bomb
■ ~ . .
LONDON, i/P)—Ambulances re
