Commission as an especially val
uable agency of government, both
v/hile it was under the War De
partment and now when it is a
bureau of the Department of the
Interior. The Alaska Road Com
mission has, with very limited
funds, filled magnificently its
function of building pioneer roads
at low costs. While it may be true
that this era is past and new
methods should be employed to
expand Alaska’s road system, nev
ertheless I desire to state categor
caRy tffat had not the Alaska
Road Commission been in exis
tence our transportation plight
v ould be sad, indeed, today.
‘‘Before long I expect to add res -
you at greater length on this sub
ject because I consider a compk ■ ■>
exploration of the matter abso
lutely essential in view of the re
flection cast upon the ability and
integrity of those men in charge
o! the Alaska Road Commission
who are, I firmly believe, public
servants of the highest standard.”

WORD RECEIVED FROM
LT. LINCOLN OST
Lt. Lincoln E. Ost is now on
furlough in the States from Ger
many. He writes in a recent letter
from Munich, “Today I was trans
ferred to other headquarters to be
S-2 there. Wish you could see our
office. It’s the same room Hitler
used when he held his meetings
with Mussolini and Chamberlain.
I use the chair which was Hitler’s I
pride and joy. Another officer
uses the desk. Our quarters are
superior, too.” Lincoln and his |
bride are visiting in Washington
and California, and hope to come
North before his furlough is over.
