G OVEN Oh GUY TUGWELL SAYS THAT
OREFIT NOT DESERVED.
A copy cf the editorial that was
published in a Seattle.Newspaper
last, fall, in which praise was givci
to Mr. Togwell for the success of
the Mntnnuska Project, was sent to
him and ho expressed pleasure that
the Project was progressing so well
but says that he is not entitled to
any of the credit for this success,
as be had nothing to do with the
Project during the formation or .aft'
,'erward during its development.
Nr-* Tufcv/oir says that the Matanusk:
Project was started by the F.E.R.A.
and that it wns never under the
Resettlement Division, the agency
that sponsored most of the Projects
in the States and which'was direct
ed by Mr. Tugwell.
For the information^of those inter'
ested we will quote sT statement froi
Oct. 1st, 1938,issue of'the Valley
Settler, a statement made by. the
officials of the A.R.R.C. which say:
;"The Air ska Rural Rehibilitation
Corporation has been transferred to
the Dept, of the Interior, and will
be under the management of the
Alaska Railrond,,which still remains
ALASKA MAY BE Bj.SE FOR LARGE
MILITARY OPERATIONS THIS YEAH.
That 'Japan is expecting heavy blows
from the Alaska Front this year is
levident from a re-broadcast, by.a
a big U‘.S. Station,of a message to
the Japanese, people by a big Tokio
Station, which said that the U.S.
is assembling a fleet of over a
thousand planes, six divisions of
Soldiers-and a large Naval force in
the Aleutian Islands for an attack
on Japan this coming summer.
Just how accurate the Japs informa
tion is, is unknown and it is a
cinch that the U.S. isn't telling
what 'they .are doing. However the
news sounds goodj because it Indica
tes. that all danger of an offensive
by the Japs in this sector is p-st.
The last two weeks found the High
way from Anchorage to Palmer very
slick from ice and several accidents
occured from auto mishaps. Sc far
this winter the weather has been
moderate but alternate rain and then
freezing has made traffic difficult.
The weather man from Fairbanks says
that it may be pretty cold this
next two months.
