POLITICS BEGINS
TO BOIL.
The Alaskan political pot
is beginning to boil again,
says the Ketchikan Chroni
cle in a recent issue. By
February 1, all filings for
the April primaries must
be in Juneau. And Febru
ary 1 is only a few weeks
in the future.
Already the democrats are
holding meetings, groom
ing themselves for party
regularity in the primaries
and for success at the gen
eral election next Septem
ber.
The primaries will be
held in April, of course,and
at that time republicans
and democrats must name
their candidates.There will
be candidates for delegate
to congress, for territorial
auditor, for highway engi
neer, for attorney general
and for territorial house
and senate.
i
AIR TRAVEL
FACILITIES.
Delegate Dimond in com
menting on the first air
base in Alaska under the
new Wilcox Bill, points to
another request in connec
tion with aerial develop
ment in the North that is
equally if not more import
ant. It is the urged allot
ment of $2,900,000 for com
mercial airfield work, in
cluding new airports, im
provements on the present
fields, markings and other
much needed development.
Here is one of the princi
pal things that will not on
ly make flying safer and
more convenient in the Ter
ritory, but it would be a
huge step toward develop
ing everything else in Alas
ka. Given airfields in ad
vantageous localities and
mining would reap one of
the greatest benefits. Other
industiies would be devel
oped and profit as well if
aerial transportation could
be made safer through bet
ter facilities and remote
areas reached by establish
ing airports.
The Rogers—Post and
Hines planes disasters have
left a blot on the flying re
cord in the North which
could be erased in a large
degree by giving the Terri
tory the proper aerial tran
sportation facilities.
ATTACK BY
PARACHUTE.
The army of Soviet Rus
sia has been ranked first in
the world by the French
General Loiseau, vice-chief
of staff, after seeing the
Red Army maneuver at
Kief. He saw the Soviet
army launch an attack by
parachute and commented
as follows:
“Your aviation, too, mer
its the highest praise, whe
ther in large or small form
ations or individual action.
As for the parachute attack
I consider that factor un
precedented intheworld.
