Buckner For
New Road and
Portage Plans
i ———
The much discussed Portage
Bay cutoff project on the Alaska
Railroad is likely to come and
the Army garrison at Chilkoot
Barracks is likely to go, it was
intimated by Brigadier General
Simon B. Buckner, commandant
of the Alaska Defense Forces,
who was in Fairbanks a brief
time last week enroute from Ju
neau to Anchorage.
General Buckner said Haines
is of little strategic value at pre
sent, but would assume great
strategic importance, however,
should the International High
way be built.
Cutoff Plan
Relative to the Portage Bay
project which would call for two
tunnels aggregating about three
miles in length. General Buck
ner said 'he had “very strenuous
ly recommended” construction of
the cutoff, which would elimin
ate Seward as the salt water ter
minus of the Alaska Railroad.
“Colonel Ohlson recommends
| the project and Representative J.
| Buell Snyder (on the House
Ways and Means Committee —
j purse string holders) has express
; ed himself favorably on the pro
ject,” General Buckner declared,
| adding “the tunnel route from
'Turnagain Arm to Portage Bay
would not only have a higher
j safety factor, eliminating the
! trestles and snow slide dangers,
but it would also be a shorter
: route to Anchorage by nearly 50
, miles.”
Wants Road
Also strongly recommended
by General Buckner is the con
struction of the 115-mile high
way from the Richardson High
way to the Anchorage section.
“I understand the project is at
the head of the Road Commis
sion's list on new construction
now,” General Buckner said. “It
should be built as soon as pos
sible.”
The general said he wired rec
' ommendation to Washington a
few days ago for building of “cer
tairf1’ roads in Alaska.
The General declared that the
Alaska Railroad, which is al
ready under guard in defense of
sabotage, constitutes too thin a
life-line between Anchorage and
Fairbanks and the highway route
is a definite need.

to Juneau in a Navy scout plane

'
Defense Plan
With Parker on the destroyer
Breeze, General Buckner has vis
ited Unalaska, Kodiak and Sitka.
The two commanders have been
devoting considerable time to
the creation of an Alaska defense
system.
As in normal defense lines the
Navy and the Army will comple
ment one another in activity.
An example General Buckner
gave was “In case of attack on
Sitka, we could aid in the de
fense with planes from Yakutat
or from Metlakatla, and the re
verse would apply in the event
of Army fiields being subjected
to attack.”
ERRANT YOUNGSTER
WILMINGTON, N. C., Oct.—A
16-year-old boy, convicted of as
sault and battery appealed to Re
corder A. A. Lemon for a whip
ing instead of a jail sentence.
The boy explained that he liv-j
ed with an invalid grandmother,
and had gone without any cor
rection for several years. The re
corder called upon a husky long
shoreman in the audience to ad
minister the lashes.
