WASREVGTON. July 22, — A
sab-committee of the Senate Com
imittee on Indian Affairs" will make
I*,, official visitation to Alaska dur
ing the fall.
Present plans call for three mem
bers of the committee to make the
trip. They are Senators Burton K.
Wheeler of Montana, chairamn of
the committee, Elmer Thomas of
Oklahoma and Lynn J. Frasier of
North Dakota.
John Collier. Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, will accompany the
committee
Albert A. Grornd, the committee's
attorney, is in charge of arrange
ments and will also go north.
It is planned to leave Seattle
shortly after Labor day. Because
of the limited time available the
trip will be confined to Southeast
Alaska ..and perhaps only one hear
ing will be held, either at Metlak
atala or Juneau. The investigation
is to be made .especially with re
ference to the Metlakatla sit
uation.
Mr. Grorud plans to remain in
Alaska for some time after the
committee leaves to prepare plans
for a much more extensive trip
next year which will cover the en
tire Territory.
Lack of fanda baa f oread tbe
Office of Indian Affairs to isane
orders for closing of the hospital
at Akiak and the orphanage at
Tanana. Blind children now eared
for af the orphanage will be moved
to Eklutna. as will be other child
ren whose health is not good.
Others will he sent to private
homes, the understanding being
that the government will provide
for them if no other arrangements
can be made. Most of the equip
ment' from the Akiak hospital is
to be taken to Unalaeka.
Horace M. Albright, retiring di
rector of the National Park Ser
vise. recently declared hie inter
est in Alaska and Alaskans His
retirement, he remarked, is not
dne to political reasons bnt to his
desire to enter thp business world.
Mr. Albright’s primary interest
has been in the national parks of
the West and Alaska and under
the reorganization of the service
the scope of its datigg will he
greatly enlarged. For instance, it
will have charge of public grounds
in the District of Oolnmbia. Mr.
Albright does not believe he ronld
invoke the same enthusiasm over
administration of gronnds of that
character as of the big parks.
Mr. ATbrigbt was urged to re
main as director by both Presi
dent Roosevelt and Secretary of
the Interior Ickes bnt felt he
could not refuse the attractive of

a number of years was professor of
English and French at the Alaska

! Mines, spent last Sunday in Wash
ington. He hopes to return north
ifor a visit at least some day. Mr.
j Marc-hand is now taking advanced
work at Columbia University,
where he Is also a member of the
faculty in the division of exten
sion study.
Early an&d late. Delegate Di
mond’s efforts are being directed
toward “breaking the log Jam"
which is holding back release of
the funds alloted for public works
in Alaska.
It goes without saying that he
is also attempting to secure fur
ther substantial grants.
To those ends he has conferred
recently with officials of the Fed
eral Relief Administration and with
Marvin McIntyre, one of President
Roosevelt’s secretaries.
He had intended to see the Pres
ident himself hut the chief exec
utive has cancelled all business en
gagements except those of the most
vital nature this week because of {
a oold. The Delegate will endeav
or to arrange an interview with
him early next week so that he
may present to the head of the
"New Deal" a plea for immediate
launching of public works tn the
Territory.
High in the councils of the
Roosevelt Administration is a
former Alaskan.
He is Emil Edward Hurja, one
time Alaska newspaper man.
He "played an imporant part in
the presidential campaign and is
now personnel officer of the Re
construction Finance Corporation
and -the Public Works Administra
tion. All appointments must pass
through his hands and his res
ponsibility is a weighty one and
his duties arduous. . It is a job re
quiring skill of an unusual sort,
but it is said in Washington that
he is handling the work in an en
viable manner.
Mr. Hurjh was once a reporter
for the Fairbanks Times. Later
he went Outside to attend the
'University of Washington.
He was chosen by the late Dele
gate Charles A Sulzer to be his
| secretary.
To this day he maintains an ex
traordinarily keen interest In aff
airs Alaskan. • Mr. Hurja has a
wide ecqii&intance oyer the Terri
tory and is an authority on the
history of the country
For a consi desable period he
published s chain of community
newspapers in Los Angeles, then
wss in hnalness in Texas and sub
sequently moved to New York CMy
where he became n statistical ex
pert for Wall Street house*.
Mr. Hurja’s statistical ability
was called into use by the Dem
ocratic National Committee last
summer. After surveys In the
various states he analysed and pre
dieted the vote. HI* forecasts
were astonishingly close to actual
election figures.
Despite his limited leisure time
Mr. Hurja continues to write oc
casionally for magazines.
Mrs. Hnrja was formerly Miss
Goodwin Anderson, s Fairbanks
girl She is now in Washington
with her hudband. They make
their home at the Mayflower hotel.
It la rumored hi Washington
that Mr. Hurja may have, if he
chooses to accept It, appointment
as minister to Finland.
The final report of the Ameri
j
can Section of the International |
Highway Cimmistion has been
printed and sent to the Slate De
partment. It will not be distrib
uted until the President ban view
ed it, which will probably be some
time next week.
It has been learned, however,
that the report ia entirely favor
able to the International .Highway
project.
It is authorRively arated that
the report says construction of
the highway ia feasible and that
It can 'be built for a cost not tto
exceed >12.000.000 for the Canad
Ian section sad not to exceed $;
000.000 for the American gectioa.
The Commission farther recom
mends that const met ion of th*
Faiifssnk*—Dawson section t>e
commenced without waiting for
approval of the entire project. As
to financing, each nation wou.d
care for It ova section but the
Commission bints st the possibil
ity of a co-operative financing ar
rangement through international
agreement, and recommends inter
national' conversations for initial
action with respect to location of
.lib highway. __
