GOVERNOR GRUENING ASKS FOR REGIONAL VETERANS OFFICE
Governor Gruening sent the following wire to General Omar Bradley,
Administrator of Veterans’ Affairs, on ^u^ust 28:
"For nearly a year and a half, I and all others in 4ilaskn concerned
with care of veterans, have been requesting the establishment of a
regiorcl office in Alaska, knowing from long and past experience with
oth'-r agencies of the impossibility of handling Alaska governmental
matt V3 adequately from Beattie, a point 700 miles south of il]:.ska’s
southern boundary. Without burdening you with the overwhelming evidence
that has accumulated since, of the impossibility of the present set-up
the war is now over and Alaska veterans are not being adequately served
by the present set-up,
:pite the high qualifications of the c "minis
t-rat or of the branch office in Juneau. I earnestly urge you to cut red
tape and promptly establish a regional office in Alaska’s dapitnl,Juneau,
with provision for establishing branch and contact offices in other
Alaskan centers* Please remember that Alaska is as wide and
as
the United States and its problems of distance, space and
as '•cop
poor com
munications can be met only by speedy .and appropriate measures such
as recommenced." _ , "
