Military Ruling
Gov., illiam A. Egan has pro
tested a recent change in military
specifications for Alaska potato
procurement and asked that it be
reconsidered.
In a telegram to J. J. Weiss
of the military subsistence Sup
ply agency’s purchasing division
in Chicago, the governor said the
change in specifications “will in
rea3e cost to the military and
work an unnecessary hardship on
Alaska growers who have satis
factorily supplied the military

with quality potatoes for the past
20 years.”
Egan said the decision of the
military also “represents a threat
to other Alaska growers of agri
cultural productivity,” and added:
“In view of the long record of
Alaskans in supplying military
with quality products at compet
itive prices, I see no reason for
discrimination shown in the re
cent change of specifications. I
sincerely hope the decision will
be reversed for bidding on Sep
tember-October requirements,”
The specification change in
volves an additional requirement
that potatoes must be of “moder
ately skinned or better” quality.
Alaska potatoes have tender skins
when newly harvested, and would
find it difficult to meet the add
ed specification.
