Washington Hearing
(Continued from Page 4)
Congress that upon completion
of the Anchorage-Seward high
way the Seward—Portage end
of the railroad would be aban
doned. Policy since that time
has been somewhat revised. Mr.
Tudor informed us that Gover
nor Heintzleman had visited
with him the week previous and
among other things had discuss
ed the railroad and dock pro
ject. The unfeasibility of hand
ling all of the railroad's north
bound cargo through Whittier
Port is. we are convinced, now
known to every Washington
authority concerned. However,
on Monday and Tuesday of this
week Under Secretary Tudor
will be in Seward to personally
investigate the rail and dock
conditions. He was doubtful
that the appropriation would,
for this fiscal year, be restored
to the budget but stated the pos
sibility, should the situation be
found so critical, that the Sec

retary of Interior in a joint re
quest could obtain some of the
funds by way of an emergency
appropriation. Secretary Tudor
is new in the Department and
his entire career prior to this
appointment was devoted to his
profession as a civil engineer.
Undoubtedly that personage will
appraise our situation with a
practical eye.
General Twining having been
in command of the Alaskan
Forces is acquainted with our
problem, in sympathy with it,
and stated that the Seward end
of the railroad should be kept
in service. In the event that
further military support of this
program is requested General
Twining will recommend the
rehabilitation of the Seward
Portage line and dock.
Summarily, this is the situa
tion as we see it. When the Army
requests, as they have on num
erous occasions, that the Seward
Portage end of the railroad be
rehabilitated and adequate dock
installations' made, the Depart
ment of Interior has assumed the
position that:-—if the Seward
end is vital to the Alaskan de
fense as another seaport inlet,
they the Army, should procure
the funds for its projection. The
Army's reluctance to admit the
passage of commercial cargo
through the Port of Whittier,
while tlie Seward end is falling
into decay, will in the near fu
ture require a move one way or
the other. Apparently some co
ordinated move, as Secy. Tudor
suggested, between the Secy,
of Defense and the Secy, of In
terior is necessary to expedite
the job. Presuming Mr. Tudor’s
findings and report will be con
sistent with our testimony to
the Senate Committee, and pend
ing that report, this ttien should
be our current endeavor—to in
fluence that joint recommenda
tion.

like to personally inject a note
of optimism and state our belief
that these funds, or a portion
thereof, are forthcoming. We
are grateful for the confidence
you people have placed in us.
We are grateful to those who
have given us encouragement
and assisted us in procuring
data to abet our cause. Copies
of our testimony to the Senate
Committee will be forwarded
to us and be made available for
public reading.
A good portion of the money
contributed for our journey still
remains and it is our recommen
dation that a fund be maintained
for the purpose of sending a per
sonal contact man, whenever it
is deemed necessary, to work
toward the ultimate achievement
of Seward's security.
