The Anchorage-Seward Highway
will have its official opening on
Friday, October 19 at 2 p.m. at Gird
wood according to an' announce
ment made today by the Alaska
Road Commission. The public has
been invited to attend. ,
Honored guests invited to attend
the ceremony include E. L. Bart
lett, Delegate from Alaska, and
Dale E. Doty. Assistant Secretary of
the Interior. Members of the Alaska
Field Committee which is meeting
in Anchorage this week will also
attend.
Other invitations have been sent

Commander-in-Chief, Alaskan Com

127 Miles Long
This new highway extends from
Anchorage for 127 miles through
most spectacular terrain and diffi
cult construction to Seward, link
ing interior Alaska with its most im
portant south coast seaport. It in
cludes 71 miles of entirely new high
way south of Anchorage and 56
miles of completely rebuilt highway
on the -old Seward to Hope road.
It connects with the 138 mile long
Sterling Highway, which was open
ed in 1950, and thus opens to the
interior of Alaska and the United
States the vast Kenai Peninsula
and the communities of Homer, An
chor Point, Ninilchik, Kasilof, and
Kenai.
Next year the entire highway from
Anchorage to Seward will be sur
faced with asphalt. Contracts have
already been let for the first 71
miles south of Anchorage, and con
tracts will be let in the spring of
1951 for the remaining portions.
Excepting for periods of closure
at night during the remainder of the
construction, the highway will re
main open to the public.
The highway was built with U.
S. Department of the Interior funds,
administered by the Alaska Road
Commission, with the work accom
plished by means of a three-party
agreement between the Alaska Road
Commission, the Alaska Railroad,
and the Bureau of Public Roads.
This agreement provided for the
handling by each of these agencies
of the detailed design and con
struction of various portions of the
pioject, since the project traveled
areas in which all three agencies
were responsible for construction
and maintenance.

Reaction Sets
in on Tail's
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17 — .71 —
, Senator Robert A. Taft's non-sur
: prise announcement that he wants
the 1D.i2 Republican Presidential
nomination drew a "too early" re
action today from backers of Gen.
Dwi; ht D. Eisenhower.
But there ai. o was a feeling in
the Ike-for-President carrip that the
General should announce his avail
ability soon — provided he an
nounces it at all — lest Taft get
too long a head start in the race
for national convention delegate.^.
Taft yesterday became the first
dr larcd Pre -dentin! candidate in
either major parly, announcing
his intentions a full nine months
ahead of the GOP nominating
convention in Chicago.
The Ohio Senator followed
through by attacking the Truman
administrations health program and
spending policies, thus giving a
fpretaste of the campaign he is j
likely to wage.
Speaking to the American Dental
Association convention here last
night, the Senator proposed crea
tion of a military-civilian commis
sion to determine "just what is
the economic capacity” of the na- >
tion to cope with defense spending.

QUARTERS. Europe, Oct, 17—Wl—
Gen. Eisenhower's headquarters said
today there has never been the in

permanently in Europe. If all goes
well, in time—within two and a half
to three years—the gradual with
drawal of American forces can be
gin, a spokesman said. He spoke
to a news conference called, officers
said, because there has been some
misunderstanding of Eisenhower’s
views.

ing lonvliorc'nt'R returned to work
today at Brooklyn’s huge army base,
after underworld figure Anthony
Anastasia »\l an imported crew of
worktr.; through the gates.
The back-tt>-work move at the
; rr:y base, one of the nation’s major
fhippne centers for Korea and
other military outposts, came as
the government considered bringing
in troops to handle cargoes.
Anastasia, accused before the
S .at > Crime committee of leading
hired ‘goons and thugs” to break
another strike, showed up at the
base this morning with several
truckloads of men.
A the men followed him through
the rates, some 250 striking steve
dore; outside began milling about
restlessly. One of them climbed
atop a car. and yelled at the throng;
"Let’s go in and get those other j
guys out.”
• There also were shouts about "a
gang of criminals taking our jobs."
Speaker denounced Joseph Ryan,
head cf the AFL International,
Lone shoremen’s Association, who;
had blamed the walkout on Com
munists.
Then, in a body, the stevedores
streamed onto the pierr. As they
shaped up for work, Anastasia and
his followers beat a hasty retreat, j
