C°n*r*** Committee
Hearings began last week in the
House and Senate on legislation
to establish the Arctic Wildlife
Range in northeastern Alaska with
subcommittees of the House Mer
chant and Fisheries Committee and
the Senate Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee taking testi
mony from Interior Department
officials and representatives of a
number of conservation groups in
favor of the measure.
Sen. Gruening testified in op
position to the legislation affect
ing approximately 8,800,000 acres,
stating his belief that “this pro
posed legislation is not only un
necessary, but detrimental to the
State of Alaska.”
The hearings brought out, ac
cording to Sen. Bartlett’s News
letter, that 7,833,155 acres are now
reserved in Alaska for wildlife
refuge ana reiatea purposes and
that the 8,800,000 acres contem
plated for the refuge in north
eastern Alaska compares with the
10,088,017 acres reserved in the
entire other 48 States for wildlife
and fishery purposes.
Sen. Bartlett, Chairman of the
Senate Subcommittee, expressed
the hope that something might be
worked out to establish the range
on a smaller scale. The withdraw
als of public land in Alaska will
affect the matching money which
the state will have to put up for
federal highway fund allocations
as the federal-state allocations are
based on the amount of unreserved,
unappropriated land. This would
increase the financial burden to
the state of approximately $300,
000.
Sen. Gruening’s contention is
that the Federal government has
aireaay witnurawn enormous
amounts of land from Alaska. He
said such withdrawals amounted
to some 9Vfc million acres of land.
The Senator expressed the be
lief tnat Alaska now provides for
the nation its fair share of wildlife
refuges and other a.eas in which
wildlife is protected. He listed

Fixed Route For
Aleutian Mailboat
Hearings were conducted earlier
this week in the House and Senate
on S Bill No. 1849, the Aleutian
mailboat bill, which had been in
troduced by Senators Gruening
and Bartlett.
The bill received a hearing be
fore the Senate Post Office and
Civil Service Committee Wednes
day. It would amend contracting
authority of the postmaster gen
eral to provide that in letting con
tracts for the transportation of
mail throughout the Aleutian Is
lands, operators of steamboats or
other powerboats to which con
tracts are awarded will be restrict
ed to the route prescribed by law.
Sen. Gruening stated: “Exper
ience has amply demonstrated . . .
that, because of the distances in
volved and the weather conditions
encountered, regularity of mail
delivery to the residents of the
Aleutians can only be insured if
a vessel is dedicated ejfeluaively t®
such service. If additional stops
are included on the vessel’s itiner
ary there can be no riasurance
that schedules will be maintained
or that all communities which
must be served will he reached
twice a month.”
