Washington News Letter
By Will A. Steel

DEBUNKING A STORY
Delegate Wickersham was not
given much encouragement last
Fall by the War Department to
believe that army air training
camps would be established in
Alaska in the year 1932, But a
recent reading of Anchorage and
Seward newspapers indicated
that later consideration of this
project was more encouraging
and that the camps were a pos
sibility within the near future.
However, an effort to have this
report verified was soon blasted
in an interview with Assistant
Secretary of War Davidson, who
also wrote a letter as follows:
Washington, D. C.
February 23, 1932
My dear Sir:
In regard to your inquiry, I
want to make it perfectly clear
that the statements attributed
to me in the Seward Gateway of
Monday, February 8, 1932, are
incorrect. I pointed out to Mr.
Morton that, while it would be
desirable sometime in the future
to locate Army Air Corps per
sonnel and equipment in Alaska,
it was impossible to do so for the
present. Certainly no suggestion
was made that Air Corps planes
would conduct a survey of the
Territory this Spring. From the
above, you will see that the pros
pects of locating Air Corps units
in Alaska are very remote. I
regret the situation, but think I
should bring it frankly to your
attention.
Sincerely Yours
E. Trubee Davidson,
Assistant Secretary of War.

ALASKA FARM STATIONS
*{* *
The Department of the In
terior believes that the continu
ed operation of the Matanuska
agricultural experimental station
is essential and necessary to the
carrying out of the land settle
ment project along the Alaska
Railroad. Governor Parks has re
commended the transfer of the
station to the Bureau of Indian
Affairs and having the scholars
of the Eklutna school operate
the farm. M. D. Snodgrass, agri
cultural development agent cf
the Railroad, advises he is an
xious that the Railroad should
have jurisdiction until provision
is made for the Territory or
I Federal government to operate
the station.
ANTHROPOLOGY
* * *
In the third of a series of
lectures by Dr. Ales Hrdlica.
curator of physical anthropology
at the Smithsonian Institution,
he last night revealed tl^e de
scent of the people o fthe Alas
kan peninsula. The present lec
ture course is the result of re
search of the institution since
1863 and brings the study cf
these ancient Americans up to
the most recent survey conduct
ed by Dr. Hrdlicka on Kodiak
Island last summer.

ALASKA AVIATION
* * *
A good idea of the growth of
commercial avaition in Alaska is
given in figures prepared by
Ernest Walker Sawyer. Commer
cial aviation made its appear
ance nine years ago in Alaska.
A special experimental air-mall
^contract was made to carry mail
from Fairbanks to McGrath, a
distance of about 300 miles.
When this system was inaugur
ated, mail was being transporter!
by dog sled. It required 17 days
to make the trips compared wi-h
2 hours and 45 minutes by the
first air trip. Once the advan
tages of air-mail were demon
strated, progress in the develop
ment of this means of transpor
tation has continued. At present
there are 67 aviation fields with
in the Territory and five hydro
plane ports. The landing fields
vary in size from 250 to 600 feet
to 400 by 1,400 feet. Fairbanks
and Anchorage fields have two
runways 400 by 2,000 feet. Gov.
George A. Parks states that the
[total aid to aviation has been
approximately $180,000 and that
the economic benefits have
justified the expenditures. In
1931 there were six commercial
aviation companies, one each
located at Nome, Fairbanks, An
chorage, Chitna, Juneau, and
Ketchikan. An airway service
has been developed by the
Weather Bureau because of the
progress made in aviation. Re
ports are made regularly and
aerial navigation is aided
through this service. In 1927
there were 10 commercial planes.
They transported 16 tons of
express. A total of 415 passen
gers were carried 60,000 passen
ger miles. The machine that
year flew 95,000 plane miles. In
1931 there were 26 planes whicn
flew 381,234 plane miles, carried
7,947 passengers, and flew 947,
695 passenger miles, and carried
161,718 pounds of mail and ex
press. In 1930 the 24 planes then
in use carried 3,654 passengers a
total of 684,361 passenger miles.

PRIMARY LAW

The Alaska Women’s Primary
Law Club has directed a letter
of inquiry to Delegate Wicker

mary law for Alaska. The Judge
has replied that he has always

and believes that it is highly es
sential that the present law
should prevail, otherwise there

PROTEST DAVIS LAW
* * *
Delegate Wickersham has re
ceived dozens of protest by wire
from S. E. Alaska ports, against
the passage of the Davis bill,
which would practically exclude
passenger traffic to and be
tween Alaska ports by Canadian
steamers. The bill is strongly
supported by interests on the
Atlantic coast and the Delegate
hopes to have an amendment
adopted that would exclude
Alaska from the jurisdiction of
the bill in the event of its pas
sage.

AQUARIUM

Commissioner of Fisheries
Henry O’Malley is quite proud of
the fact that soon a splendid
rew aquarium will be operating
in the magnificent new com
merce building. Tanks are now
being prepared and soon a regu
lar fish parade will head toward
the Capital City. In the ranks
will be rainbow, brook and land
locked trout; salmon from the
inland streams of the Atlantic
and Pacific Coasts and small,
but beautiful fish from the sub
tropics. From an Alaskan hat
chery 5,000 miles away will come
the celebrated black fish. Part of
this journey will be made in
cased in ice, so hardy is this
specimen. Officials say this fisn
can bounce like a rubber ball.

ALASKA FLIER
Joe Crossen, the famous Alas
kan flier, has been visiting the
East during the past couple of
weeks and has been entertaining
the readers of newspapers with
stories of the favorite pastime
of the Alaskan Eskimo and the
Siberian chucksi. Eating is a
serious occupation and Joe says:
“The average meal lasts from
three to four hours. It is served
in courses and they eat and eat.
The Alaskan Eskimo cooks most
of his food but the chucksi eats
raw fish and meat and never
uses salt. They drink great
quantities of oil. In a two-day
si ay in a chucksi hut everyone
went about this interior palace
naked. When you crawl in your
i furs are hung on the wall to dry
and warm. The floors are cover
ed with walrus fur and the in •
habitants of the hut simply
itretch out on the floor, pull
another fur over them and go to
sleep.”

APPROPRIATIONS
« * *
The Department of Commerce
appropriation bill is now before
the House. Last year the amount
allowed was $54,425,230, but the
amount recommended by Com
mittee for the approaching year
is $44,132,875. For the Alaska
general service under the Bu
reau of Fisheries the last ap
propriation of $446,240 has been
reduced to $412,300. For the
mining station and mine in
spection in Alaska the former
sum of $11,460 has been slightly
reduced to $10,885. It is not ex
pected that there will be any
further reductions in these
figures.
-x
BONE DRY LAW
The bill to repeal the Alaska
Bone Dry Law will be given an
other hearing on March 1, before
the Committee, when it is ex
pected that a couple of amend
ments to the old law will be a
greeded to and which will prac
tically meet the present opposi
tion to the law. There does not
appear to be a disposition upon
the part of the Committee to
favor the present bill to repeal
the Bone Dry Law.
The House has passed Delegate
Wickersham’s bill for a revision
and extension of the boundary
of the Mount McKinley National
Park. It has now gone to the
Senate and will undoubtedly be
passed without objection.
Martin Price, who was born
in Juneau and resided there un
til he went to war, is now mar
ried and resident of Washington,
having made a recent call at, the
office of the Delegate.
