the present service. Dr. Ernest
Gruening, Director of the Divis
ion of Territories and Insular
possessions, also attended the hear
ing and urged approval of the ap
propriation. Major General O.
Westover, Chief of the Army Air
Corps, was also present. General
Westover is personally familiar
with conditions in Alaska and
has shown consistent interest in
its development. It is also be
lieved that because of the inti
mate connection between the pro
posed air routes and the establish
ment of Army Air Corps opera
tions in Alaska, authorized thru
enactment of the Wilcox air de
fense bill in the 74th Congress,
which directed the establishment
of an Air Corps base in Alaska,
the hearing was of particular in
terest to the general.
The proposed airmail service
will require an increase of $72,

vice" to be included in the Post
Office Department appropriation
bill for the fi. cal year 1938.
Appropriation for the star route
service for the fiscal year 1937
was $207,245. This provided for
overland transportation of mail
in Alaska by various methods on
65 routes, 27 of which were by
dog team, 17 by horse and motor
vehicle, and 21 by airplane. It
is estimated that increasing this
item to $280,000 in the Post Of
fice Department appropriation bill
for the fiscal year 1938 will pro
vide an all-year-round weekly
service on the air route from Tan
across the junction point of the
loop route with the Juneau to
Fairbanks route, to Cordova, Val
dez Seward and Anchorage with
a consequent improvement in mail
service which will be reflected
on all of the star routes originat
ing at these points and which
now serve areas from as far
south as Yakataga Beach to the
Seward Peninsula and Bristol Bay
region in the north and west,
without any increase in the pres
ent cost of the service on these
existing routes.
The transportation of mail be
tween Juneau and Fairbanks
would be paid for through the
new item under foreign airmail
service because of the necessity
of passing over a small section
of Canada.
If the items proposed are in

proprullon for transportation of

to $.'148,692 or an increase of $141,

Post Office apDropriation bill.
Delegate D,mond said tnat tne j
members of the subcommittee ap- j
peared to be sympathetic toward
the proposed service and the nec
essary increase in the appro
priation. He stated that, although
a somewhat similar service was
vigorously worked for in last;
year's appropriation bill and the j
bill then passed the senate with !
the item intact only to be reject- [
ed in the House, he believes a
more favorable view will be had
of the request, as some of the
principal objections have now
been overcome.
