Washington Hearing
(Continued from Page 1)
used in proposing his policy of
not recommending the appropri
ation to the budget.
1. The Secretary is thinking
in accord with the President and
our new Administration to in
troduce economy measures and
slasii appropriations wherever
possible.
2. Departmental heads are
new in their respective offices
and prefer to make their own
investigation to determine the
urgency of our project.
We talked with Mr. Joseph
Flakne, Alaskan Territorial Di
rector, and found, as ho has
always been on the record, in
favor of and vigorously support
ing our case.
Our Committee hearing was
scheduled for 6:30 that evening.
It was said that evening hear
ings were unprecedented in Sen
ate history. At the time of our
arrival in the Senate wing of
tiie Capitol the committee was
reviewing a case presented by
the Georgia Power Co. and our
review was considerably delay
ed. The following Senators were
convened:
Senators Cordon of Oregon;
Haydn, Arizona; Mundt, South
Dakota; Kilgore, West Virginia;
Nolan, California; Young, Nortli
Dakota.
Upon completion of the Power
Company hearing the Commit
tee heard the two Alaskan griev
ances scheduled for that eve
ning:—the first by John Lefever
of Cordova to obtain funds for

a section of the proposed Cor
dova highway; the second by
your delegates Painter, Bie and
Baker. Mayor Painter read and
presented for the record the
narrative statement which had
been previously prepared. Tom
Bie gave a forceful ‘off the cuff
talk pleading our cause. Baker
submitted statistical data sub
stantiating the more generalized
statements given by Painter and
Bie. Emphasis was placed on
the Standard Oil Company's po
sition in Seward, the volume of
petroleum products sent north
and the railroad revenue derived
therefrom.
The testimonies were heard
with interest. There were no in
terrogations from the Senate
Committeemen. Our hearing was
completed by 10:15 and we ad
journed.
Since the Senate Committee’s
recommendations as to whether
the appropriation, or any part of
it. would or would not be re
stored to the budget is pending,
we felt that more could be done
in the way of contacting depart
mental officials whose recom
mendations could result in fav
orable consideration by the
House and Senate Committees.
Via Delegate Bartlett’s office
subsequent appointments were
arranged with Undersecretary of
the Interior Tudor and General
Nathan Twining. The latter will,
in June, upon General Vanden
berg's retirement, assume com
mand of the U.S. Army Air
Forces and in consequence be
come a member of the Chiefs of
Staff.
Our talk with Under Secy.
Tudor was revealing to the ex
tent that there is no longer any
room for doubt as to why this
appropriation was stricken from
the budget and what is to be
accomplished to make available
the funds for the project’s ma
terialization. The Department of
the Interior concording with ad
ministration policy to slash ap
propriations and expenditures
failed to give our program the
support necessary to sustain it
as a budget item. Furthermore,
years back it was alleged to
have been the commitment of
the Interior Department to the
