McKINLEY PARK RANGERS
EQUIPPED WITH RADIOS
' —
MOUNT MCKINLEY NATION
AL PARK—Mount McKinley Na j
tional Park is equipped with one
*>f the finest short wave radio j
sets in the Territory. The sets
are described as outstanding by
radio authorities because of their
effectiveness and compactness.
Radio Technician W C Hilgedick
of the National Park Service do-,
Signed the equipment which is!
similar to that used in other na-!
tional parks.
“By means of this fine equip
ment, the Park headquarters will
be in constant communication
with rangers at outpost stations
and on patrol,’ according to Su
perintendent Frank T. Been of
Mount McKinley National Park.
The equipment consists of two
master 50 watt sets and three I
portable 15 watt sets. Small gaso J
line motors supply the power for
the larger sets one of which is
• t Park Headquarters and the
•ther at Wonder Lake Ranger
Station. Call letters for Park j
Headquarters are KNJN and for
Wonder Lake KNJN-W.
The portable sets which are1
about the size of a ladies over
night bag are taken by the rang
ers on patrol. In winter they are
carried on the dog sleds and in
summer on pack horse or auto
mobile.
Radio communication in win
ter is particularly important as
the long periods when rangers
are completely out of touch with
headquarters will now be broken
by daily radio contacts. The dan
gers of winter patrol are there
by reduced. The Park Superin
tendent is able to keep in touch
with developments and incidents
experienced by the men during
patrol. Quite probbaly the radio
will also contribute toward the
safety and welfare of disabled
men whom the rangers may
meet. Dog sled rescued in the
past bear out this possibility.
Poachers may also be quickly
brought to trial through the com
bined use of radio and airplane.
Time Out For Adventure
In the middle of the South Pac
ific Ocean, just under the Equa
tor, some 1850 miles southwest of
Hawaii, Pan American Airways
is establishing a new “down un
der’’ base at Canton Island, on
the new air route from the Unit
ed States to New Zealand.
With 5,000 tons of equipment,
including everything from a
wooden soup bowl to an oriental
rug, the SS North Haven, veter
an of the expeditions to Midway
and Wake is Canton-bound with
87 men who will bring civiliza
tion and re-vitalization to this
South Pacific thin, white coral
reef.
During the old whaling days
Canton Island was an isolated
center of activity. It now again
takes its place on the world map
as the giant trans-ocean Clippers |
stop here on the flights from Cal
ifornia to Australia.

DIMOND SAYS ALASKA
DEFENSE WORK IS JUST
START OF HUGE OUTLAY
J Great enlargements of national
1 defense plans as affecting Alaska
! is predicted by Delegate An
j thony J. Dimond who said he be
ieved that $1,000,000 allotment
I for the army airbase near Fair
banks an dthe $11,750,000 appro
| oriations for navy projects at Si‘
, ka and Kodiak were but the be
ginnings of programs that will
; call for additional expenditures
! of much greater sums.
The Delegate expressed confid
: e.oee that congress never would
give legislative effect to the Slat
j Lory report’s recommendation
| Fist fo; eign refugees, excluded
by immigration laws from the
■ Slates, should be allowed to set
,1a in Alaska.
I “Alaska will figure in a large
1 way in national defense plans,”
‘he Delegate said. "Present appro
j priations are merely the begin
ning of further huge expendi
i turcs.
“Former Senator Clarence C.
Dill of Washington once told me
| about 10 years were required to
: get favorable recognition in the
1 natiinal capital for a new pro
j posal of merit. So many folks
1 have to be convinced of the
j worthiness.
“The defense programs for A1
| aska is almost a case in point.”
Delegate Dimond expressed
gratification that the airbase
wiuld be established by the
Army on forced labor instead o.
by contractors on bids.
“Major Edward M. ©Gorge, of
the Quartermaster Corps of the
Army, who is in charge of air
base construction in Alaska, has
j given the assurance that in the
; employment of labor Alaskans
will be biven preference.” the
! delegate declared.
Congres will turn a deaf ear to
1 the Slattery report’s recommend
ation for relaxing immigration
laws so foreign refugees, barred
from the States may enter Alas
ka, the Delegate asserted. He
1 added:
j “Of course, I. in common with
: other Alaskans, desire increased
population and additional capital
! in the Territory to develop its
resources. All Americans sym
pathize, too with the persecuted
! minorities in Europe but Alaska’s
j progress would be retarded rath
er than advanced by admission to
s Alaska of refugees who are not
1 eligible to enter the States.
There should be no barriers of
i any kind between the States and
• Alaska."
In speaking of Dr. Gruening,
| the Delegate extolled the Doctor
j as a gentlemen* of winning per
■ ••• .
! .vmality. outstanding ability and
I tireless energy.
“hly oposition to the nppcint
I ment of the Doctor was based on
ihe fact that he was not a resi
.! n. f A.a ka. the Delegate ok
p a.nc.l. “In his pt Pirn a; direct
1 >r of the division of territories
and island possessions during the
as. five years he always has giv
on upport to legilation favorable
; a Alaska.
i i reference to the Democrat
ic po itical situation in the Terri
: lory Hie Delegate stated his
.iv, v age of difference was Jim
what he heard since
the Ten :Uny. “I > not

l "i Icnu their:.-.v ; to

J , gate d- clared “the
of my present trip to Al
a ska is to meet A a kans, regard
. creed, coior or political
persuasion. Congress is not in se
j I think it is the duly
) legate in Congress to visit
his constituents and keep in per
sonal touch with them. I, like
> of them, rather ta k over
to'” v than write about them.
“Mv chief regret is that I have
-.o'. time to gc to Nome nor
a v it Valdez, Cordova and
man- a her places in Alaska,”
the Delegate said.
