On Alaska Bills
OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND
Delegate from Alaska
(By J. J. ECKLES)
WASHINGTON. July 1, - In
a conference had with President
Roosevelt recently, Senator Lew
is B. Schwellenbach, democrat of
Washington. Dr. Ernest Gruen
ing Director of the Division of
Territories and Island Possessions,
and Delegate Anthony J. Dimond
book up three matters of import
ance to the Territory.
The three-fold purpose for
which this conference was held
was to work out a means for ex
pecting the oegmning of con
struction of the Pacific-Ycikon-Al
aska Highway to connect .Alaska
with the United Stales with a
road suitable for motor traffic
through Canada, to lay a strong
er groundwork for approval of
companion bills now pending in
fcoth the House and the Senate
to promote air navigation in Al
aska and between Alaska and
the United States, and to do what
ever is possible to harmonize the
rune-point program for develop
ment of ihe Territory with the
tentative program of the Admin
rstration.
Interested In Highway
The President has not lost in
terest in the Highway, and there
is goad grounds to feel that means
of financing the proposed con
struction. satisfactory to both the
United St ates and to Canada, may
be developed.
An analysis was made of the
bills introduced by Senator Lew
is SchweTlenbach and Delegate
Dimond -which carries an auth
orisation of e.ght million dollars
to provide for the development
of Alaska through construction
and improvement of roads, air
fields, hot e-ls and schools, hospitals
and village improvements for the
natives of Alaska, equipment and
facilities for the University of .Al
aska, and rehabilitation of the A1
aska Railroad.
The Delegate said that as a re
sult of this conference he felt
confident that the objection which
the Bureau of the Budget had
made to enactment of these Alas
ka development bills would be
withdrawn.
$1,000,000 More for Airfields
The Delegate, supported by
Senator Sohwellenbach and Dr.
Gruening. urged the President to
immediately allot from PWA mon
eys at leass-1 $1,000,000 additional
for roads and airfields, to be ex
pended during the fiscal year
19311. But since under the present

Golf, tennis, swimming and
horse racing claim space in the
news, but taking it all in all. base
ball is the attractive sport for
the multitude during the summer
months. Along with details as to
scores and errors go items to the
effect that this player has been
“traded" for that one. There
would be something worse than a
sit-down strike if the average
man, at work for Smith, were
told that hereafter he would work
for Jones. Ball players are sub
ject to a kind of slavery, the
Thirteenth Amendment to the
contrary notwithstanding. The
ball player has the advantage
however, since he generally
changes bosses involuntarily with
a good salary following him,
whereas the old-time slave had
he content with a pair of cotton
pants.
