Washington, D. C., Feb. 2, 1935
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Angelo were
visiting in the Capitol City for sev
eral days last week. Mr. Angelo is
employed by the Alaska Railroad
and of course is a genuine Alaskan,
this being his first trip out in seven
teen years.
Attending matters relating to his
McKinley Park transportation and
tourist business. Mr. James L. Gal
en has been in Washington since
January 19th. He is leaving for
New York for a week before return
ing to his home in Cordova.
Mr. Nick Bez of Juneau has been
in the city for about ten days in the
interest of his fish packing business.
Mr. Bez is strongly opposed to the
passage of the Sirovich bill for the
elimination of all fish traps in Alas
ka.
A bill has been introduced by the
Delegate to prevent the seizure of
boats and gear for illegal fishing,
prior to the conviction of the oper
ator. This would prevent the in
justice of the fisherman losing the
balance of his seasons work until
proven guilty.
Mr. John C. Moore, veteran con
ductor of the Alaska Railroad, has
been in Washington the past two
weeks aiding the Delegate to se
cure legislation to include employ
ees of the Alaska Railroad in the re
tirement provision of classified civ
il service or preferably, a separate
retirement act for Alaska Railroad
employees similar to the Canal
Zone retirement act. The bill is now
being worked out and Mr. Moore
will leave for California where he
will remain several weeks before
returning to Anchorage.
—
Col. O. F. Ohlson, general manag
er of the Alaska Railroad arrived
about ten days ago He has testified
before the Sub-committee on Ap
propriations in charge of the Inter
ior Department supply bill. The
bill carries an appropriation of $250,
000 for the anticipated deficit of the
railroad during the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1936. Col. Ohlson said
that the physical condition of the
road is getting better and better
each succeeding year He is in
favor of the Alaska Railroad em
ployees being included in the re
tirement act mentioned. The Col
enel is remaining in Washington
now to aid in working out details
of the colonization plan whereby it
is planned to send approximately
200 families to the Matanuska Val
ley to engage in farming.
Mr. A. A Shonbeck of Anchorage
arrived in the city today, having
made the trip to Washington at the
request of the Delegate to help in
carrying out the colonization plan.
Having successfully operated a farm
of his own in the Matanuska Valley
and because of his connection with
the experiment farm of the Alaska
College it was felt that Mr. Shon
beck's advice and assistance in car
rying out the project were highly
valuable.
Having had considerable exper
ience in experiment farm manage
ment in the North, Mr Don L. Er
win will be temporarily transferred
from his position in Alaska to aid
in carrying out the colonization
plan. Mr. Erwin is expected to ar
rive in Washington about March 4,
at which time the organization will
be completed and arrangements
made to choose the desired families
for the colony. It is planned for the
group to arrive in the Matanuska
Valley about the first of May.
Mr. Ike P. Taylor, chief engineer
of the Alaska Road Commission has
been in Washington for several
weeks He appeared before the Sub
committee on Appropriations in
charge of the Interior Department
supply bill in support of the appro
priations needed for road construc
tion and maintenance in Alaska. His
business completed, Mr. Taylor left
two days ago enroute to Juneau.
Joe Crossen, the famous Alaska
flier, accompanied by Mrs. Crosson,
arrived in Washington yesterday
and expect to remain here until to
morrow. They plan then on going
first to New York, later to Miami,
and on being back at home in Fair
banks in about a month. For rea
sons apparent to residents of the
Territory, Joe is probably better
known in the States than any oth
er Alaskan. He was particularly
warmly welcomed by Harlee Branch
the Second Assistant Postmaster
General, who made an extended
trip through the Territory last sum
mer.
The report of the Federal Avia
tion Commission was released yes
terday. Alaska was not overlooked.
The Delegate and others interested
in Alaska had previously appeared
before the Commission and told the
needs of the development of air
transport and of air defense for Al
aska. The report of the commission,
as to Alaska, is in part as follows:
“Plainly Alaska has an urgent need
for air transport service. Plainly
the commercial development of the
territory would be enormously assis
ted by the availability of swift and

sure year-round transportation.
Plainly the pilots and operators
who have gone to Alaska and mas
tered the technique of Arctic flying
and developed the equipment that
was required to face temperatures
of 50 degrees below zero and snow
falls of 10 feet or more have done
a remarkable piece of work. Plain
ly the greatest need in order that
the transport service may be im
proved and extended is an improve
ment and extension of airway fac
ilities', Upon those points we en
tertain no doubt whatever
In this connection we wish to ex
press our special commendation of
the experimental operations of the
Army and Navy in Alaska, and to
endorse the recommendation of the
Baker Board that military air op
erations in the territory should be
put on a year-round basis on a
substantial scale of a means of
training personnel to operate un
der Arctic conditions and of devel
oping specialized equipment neces
sary for such operation. In the
same connection, we single out for
commendation also the Navy's plan
to sent an aircraft carried upon a
cruise in northern waters in mid
winter to acquire experience in car
t ier service at low temperatures and
in the face of sleet and snow.
The Delegate recently appeared
before the Sub-committee on Appro
priations as to the Alaska items con
tained in the Interior Department
bill. He spoke for more than an
hour and a half on various features
of the bill which concerned Alaska,
and particularly urged largely in
creased appropriations for the edu
cation and medical relief of the Na
tives of Alaska, and for the contin
uation of the activities of the Bur
eau of Mines and the re-establish
ment of the Federal mining bur
eau in Alaska.
