WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER
By MARY LEE COUNCIL
Secretary to E. L. (Bob) Bartlett, Alaska's Delegate to Congress
Assessment Work
The deadline for the past year’s
requirement for assessment work
will be reached on July 1 with no
prospect in sight for congression
al action to suspend the necessity
for doing such work on unpatent
ed mining claims in Alaska and
the rest of the country.
The Alaska legislature memori
alized the Congress to waive the
requirement but the sentiments of
the territorial legislative body
face the prospect of negative re
sponse from the national Con
gress.
“My personal recommendation,”
Delegate Bartlett, stated, would
be that all claim holders per
form their assessment work. They
would endanger themselves if
they waited in anticipation of a
suspension law.
“The admonition stating the
committee when it last acted on
a waiver seems to hold good to
day,” Delegate Bartlett said with
reference to action taken in the
81st Congress.
An assessment year runs from
July 1 of one year to July 1 of
the next.
Weather Bureau Stations
Weather Bureau stations at
Cordova and Galena will be clos
ed, according to information given
Delegate Bartlett by officials of
the agency, and if the Senate sus
tains the House action in deleting
$2,800,000 from the original
Weather Bureau requests for its
1854 fiscal year operations, other
stations in the Territory may very
well be affected.
The action of the House in mak
ing the additional $2 million cut
will mean, if sustained by the
Senate, that approximately 65
more stations will be closed
throughout the country. However,
no determination has yet been
made as to what specific stations
■would be eliminated.
Commerce Approprunona
In passing the appropriation
bill for the Department of Com:
meree this week, the House up
held its Appropriations Commit
tee in refusing to grant any funds
for the federal-aid airport pro
gram throughout the country, in
cluding Alaska, in cutting $600,
000 from the budget request for
maintenance and operation of the
international airports at Fair
banks and Anchorage and in elim
inating $2,160,000 for Weather
Bureau and Civil Aeronautics Ad
ministration housing in the Ter
ritory.
The slash of $30 million to the
federal-aid airport program for
new projects had been recom
mended in the Eisenhower revis

ed budget, and an offered amend-,
ment to partially restore the orig- j
inal request by $15 million was
voted down.
The cut to the program for the
Anchorage and Fairbanks air
ports left $500,000 from the $1,
100,000 budget estimate for main
tenance and operation.

tee has approved the creation of
a second district judgeship in the
Third Judicial Division of Alas
ka in reporting to the Senate this

additional circuit judgeships and

Federal meat grade stamp now
has a new look. Instead of the

with the grade and USDA on it,
the government graders are using
a ribbon series of shields enclos

of meat has been discontinued,
shoppers who see this shield will
know the meat they are buying is
