of the Wilcox Bill for Air Defense
by the Senate July 29th. This bill
authorizes the Secretary of War to
determine the location of six new
air defense bases, one of which is
to be in Alaska.
The establishment of the base in
Alaska is an objective that the Dele
/
gate has been working for for some
time, and it would appear that the
definite designation of Alaska for
the site of one of the six bases in
the bill indicates that his constant
stressing of Alaskas strategic posi
tion in a plan of national defense is
going to produce the desired result.
In recognition of his consistent in
terest in the subject of rivers and
harbors, Delegate Dimond has been
appointed Vice-President for the
Territory of Alaska of the Nation
al Rivers and Harbors Congress.

Delegate Dirnond is actively work
ing to have the recently established
National Youth Administration ex
tend its activities to Alaska. This1
Administration has been set up at
the request of the President to pro
vide relief, work relief, and employ
ment for persons between the ages
of 16 and 25 years who are no long
er in regular attendance at a school,
requiring full time and who are not
regularly engaged in remunerative
employment. It is intended that the
chief function of the NYA will be to
extend aid to college students who
are desirous of pursuing their coll
ege education but are financially un
able to do so. This will be in the
form of work relief and will aver
age about $15 a month. Financial
aid is also available to high school
students for food, clothing, text
books and other essentials necessary
if they are to continue in school.
This, however, is limited to $0 a
month.
In carrying out the functions of
the NYA, it is intended that funds
will be available after September 1,
1935, for the period ending June 30,
1936. The Delegate believes that
such aid will be of material assist
ance to many students in Alaska
who might otherwise be unable to
continue their education.
