OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND
Delegate from Alaska
Washing‘on, Jan. 7
While there was unquestion
ably a feeling of mild excite
ment in the air, little furor at
tended the opening session of the
Seventy-sixth Congress on Jan
uary third—a Congress said by
some to be loaded with dyma
mite for the New Deal. If trouble
is ahead, it certainly could not
be foretold in the demeanor of
any of the Members of "Congress,
new or old, as they assembled in
the House of Representatives
shortly before noon. Instead, it
seemed that there was a very de
finite expression of unity, as the
faces of all seemed to reflect their
personal will to strive for realiz
ation of the right in the work to
t>e undertaken.
Following the opening prayer
by the Chaplain of the House,
the roll call, election of the
Speaker, and swearing in of the
Members, moved with dignified
precision, and the work of the
House was underway.
Naval Defense of Alaska
The first executive communi
cation taken from the Speaker’s
table was a letter from the Sec-;
retary of the Navy, transmitting
j a report on the need for certain
i additional naval defense facil
i ities. While all details of the re
1 port are not yet available, it is
understood that 30 new naval
bases of one type or another are
recommended for “normal” navy
! operation that may be required
, in the defense of the United
States and the Territories.
Among the ten naval air bas
es listed as “urgent,” are two for
Alaska—one at Sitka and the
other at Kodiak. The present
small air station at Sitka is ex
pected to be greatly expanded,
j and construction will be recom
mended on the naval air base
previously proposed by the Navy
Department for establishment
ncor Kodiak. The fact that both
of these stations are listed as ur
gent is expected to give them a
high priority when construction
is commenced on the general
program.
Perfectly timed for the naval
program, Delegate Dimond on
January third introduced a com
prehensive bill to authorize the
location, construction, and equip
ment of a naval station or sta
tions in Alaska. The Delegate’s
bill wouild aulhortizie the Sec
retary of the Navy in undertak

ing the construct’on of the naval
stations to include the follow
ing facilities—‘dbomb-p-oof pro
tection, buildings, landing fields,)
harbor improvements, jetties,
piers, docks, and drydccks, am
munition storage, fuel and oil
storage, and distribution systems
therefor; roads, walks, aprons,
warehouses, sewers, water, pow-1
er station, and aerodrome light-,
ing; telephone and signal com
munications; and other essen
tials.’’ The measure provides au
thority for an appropriation not,
to exceed 100 million dollars for
the establishment of stations.
The Navy Department’s recom
mendations for Alaska are under
stood to also include the estato-1
lishment of submarine bases near
Kodiak and Unalaska. However,
it is believed that the air base
i %
proposed r:r U-'alaska wiM re
ceive more gradual development
than those indicated as urgent a1
S:tka and Kodiak. Last year the
iNavy Department asked for 5
milLon dollars for construction
of the naval air base at Kod ak,
and while no estimates have
been m,ade public as to indiv d
ual project costs in the new nav
al program, it seems certain that
the figure previously set uip will
not be reduced.
“Who is going to a'tack us?”
ask the pacifists as if they expect
Hitler, Mussolini and Mikado to
proclaim their intentions.
Parents who work hard and
save money leave it to children
who spend money and then work
hard.
