MILITARY CONSTRUCTION
Over $45 million worth of
authorized military construction
projects in Alaska are revoked
in a measure which passed both
houses of Congress this week.
The rescissions are contained
in legislation which has a three
fold purpose, authorizing cer
tain military public works
throughout the country, cutting
back $757,148,525 worth of ex
isting construction authorization
for the Army, Air Force and
Navy and authorizing new Al
aska Communication System
projects, while at the same time
rescinding numerous ACS pro
jects previously authorized. The
total rescission in the measure
ns applied to Alaska for Army,
Navy, Air Force and ACS is
$45,577,130.
The bill when signed by the
President places on the books
new public works projects in
the Territory in the amount of
$8,205,800.
Reasons given for the rescis
sions as stated by tlie Senate
Armed Services Committee are
two fold: “(1) Certain projects
have been constructed for less
than the amount authorized,

making possible the rescission
of the difference between the
actual cost and the authoriza
tion; (2) Certain projects and
items deemed essential at the
time authorized have been de
leted in favor of other projects
and items deemed more essential
under present circumstances.”
In his letter to Secretary
Wilson, Delegate Bartlett stated:
“It was not long before the out
break of the Korean War that a
decision was arrived at within
the Department of Defense to
save substantial sums of money
by cutting down on Alaska de
fense expenditures. It was plan
ned to abandon for all practical
purposes defense installations
along the Aleutian Chain. I re
call very well having protested
against any such move. I en
clcavorcd to point out that the
possession of the Aleutians
would be vital to us in the event
of war with Russia and I gave
it as my opinion that if war did
come money would have to be
poured out lavishly all along the
island chain—if, indeed, it were
not taken from us first by the
enemy. At that time I was called
over to the Pentagon and in a
secret briefing, which I must
say did little to change my con
viction that the whole plan was
based on a faulty premise, re
assured as to the validity of the
Alaska defense concept. Shortly
thereafter war broke out in
Korea. The Aleutians became
imperatively necessary as part
of the Korea air lift. Bases
which were to have been desert
ed entirely were reactivated and
staffed and served as stepping
stones of a land bridge toward
Asia.
“We were then fortunate. The
next time our luck may not
hold. I sincerely hope that first,
the Department of Defense is
not planning decreased empha
sis in the building up of Alaska
defenses, so vital to this nation’s
security; second, I trust that the
bases on the Aleutians, which
we are so fortunate as to possess,
will not be abandoned. They arc
of utmost importance to us geo
graphically. In our hands, prop
erly used and properly defend
ed, they will serve to protect
the United Slates in time of
peace or war and in time of
war could well be the fulcrum
from whioh an offensive might
be staged.”
