By Mildred Kirkpatrick
Delegate Bob Bartlett says in
his letter, “There is no guaran
tee, however, that the money
(for the rehabilitation of the
Seward-Portage section of the
railroad) will be granted by
Congress. It may take a while
to achieve that. That is because
the Department of the Interior
has consistently told the Appro
priations Committees that the
requests for money . . . which
were incorporated in the 1951
budget would conclude the gen
eral Alaska Piailroad construc
tion program. So I suspect there
may be some reluctance to go
along with this latest request.”
The request for one and a
half million dollars to repair
the bridges and loop will be
strongly supported by the De
j partment of Defense. It is to
be hoped, however, that the sup
port will also include a recom
mendation for speedy action.
Otherwise heavy snows will pre
clude the possibility of repair
in this season and freight traf
fic will be greatly curtailed if
not stopped altogether.
It is encouraging to see that
at long last some official notice
other than that of the Interior
Department has been taken of
the condition of the railroad.
The appropriation as asked
for by the railroad was so dras
tically and ruthlessly cut by
Congress last month that it is
hard to believe even of Con
gressmen sitting 6000 miles
! away. To deliberately close one
! of the two seaports supplying
! the entire inland territory in the
! face of emergency, seems too
I stupid to credit. It was necessary
i for military representatives on
1 the scene to step in to prevent
I so disastrous a move. Let us
| hope that the intervention was
: not another example of too late
with too little.
