CAA DEVELOPMENTS
FOR 1940
The Associated Press telegram
received Monday which contain
the outlined program for the
Civil Aeronautics Authority in
Alaska for fiscal year 1940, draws
our attention to an industry
which has assumed major pro
portions in Alaska.
The program to construct more
aids and safety devices for avia
tion in Alaska shows more clear
ly than any other single event,
the confidence in the Territory
which the powers that be, at
Washington, D. C., now have.
Alaska is not just a step-child
of Uncle Sam’s. The fact that A1
aska has remained unarmed and
unfortified for so many years, did
not mean that some day steps
would be taken to make it at
tack-proof. In line with Army
and Navy defense developments
in Alaska, the Civil Aeronautics
Authority has gone ahead on an
extensive program of construc
tion of modern-day facilities for
transportation by air in the Terri
tory.
Confidence and the will to co
operate and develop is like a
fresh breath of air to Alaska.
May other industries step ahead
as rapidly.
The Washington
Daybook
By Preston Grover
WASHINGTON— Senator Taft
of Ohio has advanced far enough
along as a presidential candidate
that he can call a press confer
ence and expect a good attend
ance, a dozen or more reporters.
He doesn't conduct his confer
ences with the booming vivacity
of President Roosevelt—but gad
zooks, who does? Taft is a trifle
on the shy side. He shimmies
about on his chair at times and
laughs in a half-apologetic fash
ion as he talks.
Maybe he is like his president
ial father in some respects but
he lias no belly laugh. That may
or may not qualify him in your
eyes as a Republican presidential
prospect depending on whether
you like people with belly laughs
Phrase Maker
In his campaigning about the
country he has devised a phrase
or two which probably will pep
per the speeches he will be mak
ing during the current session.
He deplores the “financial polic
ies and excessive character of the
"regulatory policies of the New j
Deal. The “regulatory policies,”
he said, apply to such things as
agriculture and the constant
wage-hour and social security re
ports and inspections.
The latter ought to get the vote
of the Junior Chamber of Com
merce because just recently it dis
tributed a blast against the ex
cessive number of reports busi
nessmen have to submit to the
government.
Taft is for “adequate national
defense,” a phrase virtually copy
righted by the American Legion
and the Veterans of Foreign
Wars. Taft, like the veteran’s or
ganizations, didn’t want to go in
to detals about it.
However, the two billion dollar
national defense program coming
up before the present session
ought to be “closely scrutinized'
to see whether more national de
fense could not be had for less,
money.
Taft doesn’t seem to be an}
more of a flag-waver than the
He said he favored enough tariff
to meet the higher cost of Am
erican production. If he had want
ed flagwave a bit he might have
rub-a-dubbed about “protecting
the American workman from low
cost alien labor.”
Wishful Thinking
His office is about the average
senate office. He reserves one
room for himself and fills the
other three with clerics, desks,
filing cabinets and chairs for call
ers. In sharp contrast to Presi
dent Roosevelt, he has no gad
gets in his desk.
He has no pictures of himself
on display but has one of his
father, flanked by a flag, on the
fireplace mantel.
Framed on the wall is a front
page of the old New York Her
ald dated Nov. 4. 1908. It carries
average presidential candidate,
a five column head saying:
“Taft sweeps the nation, Bryan
and Taft neck and neck in this
city.”
Son Robert would like to see
those first four words in head
lines next November. Also he
would like to receive the message
printed at the bottom of the
page. It said: “My heartiest con
gratulations upon your splendid
victory." It was signed by Char
les Evans Hughes.
Thought from the Press
We would suggest that all pres
idential aspirants get southern
gals for front office greeters.
These mid-western types, such
as the one in Taft's office, doubt
less get all the letters filed away
wthout losing any, but it takes a
South Carolina or " Kentucky
chatterbox to make you happy
about waiting an hour for an ap
pointment.
