Resume Defense Appropriations
For Alaska Which Ultimately
Will Total Over 20 Millions
(John L. Wheeler, AP Alaskan
Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 <A>>—
Speaking on the multi-million
dollar program for the develop
ment of Alaska defense enacted
into law at the last session of
Congress, be-spectacled, energet
ic, Anthony J. Dimond, Delegate
from Alaska said that the Terri
tory “had received its most sym
pathetic treatment in years.”
For this he praised “the coopera
tion and understanding” of his
Colleagues in Washington, D. C.
In the terms of dollars, this
defense program ranks first for
complete development of Army,
Naval, Air Base, Coast Guard
bases, and other military and
naval facilities. It will ultimate
ly mean an expenditure total
ing well over twenty million dol
lars.
The legislation authorizing the
construction of a naval air base
at Kodiak was estimated to cost
eight million seven hundred fif
ty thousand dollars: enlargement
of the naval air base at Sitka is
estimated to cost two million,
nine hundred thousand; building
improvements and the radio sta
tion at Dutch Harbor will
amount.to $12.00t).
Enacted in due course, appro
priations were made for the con
struction of the above. Naval
field and survey parties have
been in Alaska working on plans
and specifications for the projects
with the hope of getting construe
tion started.
Construction in the amount of
four million dollars is expected
to start sometime this year at a
site near Fairbanks, which has
tentatively been selected upon
the recommendation of two sur
vey parties. Major Edward Geo
rge, who will be in charge of the
actual construction and survey is
expected to arrive at Fairbanks
not later than August 20, with
his party to start work on the
plans and specifications.
Additional aviation facilities
such as beacons, ranging lights,
and radio beams are expected to
result from a survey to be under
taken soon by the Civil Aero
nautics Authority, all of which
will contribute to the defense of
Alaska in time of war, and dev
elopment in time of peace.
In the act to authorize neces
sary facilities for the Coast
Guard in the interest of nation
al defense and the performance
of its maritime policy functions,
congress authorized the establish
ment of a coast guard station and
airbase at Kodiak, estimated to
cost two million, seven hundred
thirty thousand dollars more.
Reindeer Appropriation Be
Available Next Year
No funds were appropriated,
however, for construction that
cannot start before next year
when it is expected money will
be provided for two other mea
sures of prime importance to the
Territory. The bills are: provid
ing funds for the purchase and
restoration of Alaskan reindeer
to native ownership as a means
of improving the economic lot of
Indiaris and Eskimos; and the au
thorizing of a sweeping investi
gation of Alaskan fisheries with
the view to changing regulations
and encouraging the develop
ment of new deep water resourc
es.
Congress appropriated $720,000
plus $75,000 for adminstrative

and operative expenses to carry
out the provisions of the Rein
deer Act which is to be directed
by the Secretary of the Interior
and who will purchase all non
native owned reindeer, and us
able reindeer range equipment
in Alaska, to either distribute
same among the natives or hold
the animals and equipment in
trust for their benefit. The pur
chase price of the reindeer is
limited to $4.00 per head except
for some animals on Nunivak
Island.
Officials advised Delegate Di
mond that the Interior Depart
ment would encourage native
ownership of reindeer as rapidly
as the natives demonstrate their
ability to accept the responsible
charge of the deer. “As soon as
■ it is practicable it is believed the
reindeer will be established un
[ der native ownership in all suit
! able localities where they will be
of value in supplmenting the na
fives’ livlihood. This distribution
will probably be extended first to
the Alaska Peninsula ad Aleu
tian Island localities and later to
southeastern Alaska where con
ditions are appropriate for rein
deer.”
Dimond added he believed the
restoration of reindeer herds to
native ownership "would prove
to be the biggest single step yet
taken by the Federal government
in helping them work out a na-1
tive economy to make them self
sustaining.”
