Backing Seen for
Alaska Proposals
WASHINGTON, <tfL-More than
a dozen proposals dealing with
Alaska are expected to have ad
ministration backing in the new
Congress.
Most of the items, as the list
now stands, involve bills on
which the Interior Dept, already
has taken a stand in past sessions. J
The major proposal is statehood. 1
Another controversial proposal
involves elimination of fish traps
from territorial waters.
Two department proposals are
keyed to the proposed develop
ment of iron deposits on the Kluk
wan Indian Reservation.
In the problem-ridden land field
are proposals:
1. To transfer to the territory,
without waiting for statehood, the
two sections in each township pre
viously reserved to the territory
for support of the University of
Alaska and public schools.
2. To permit selection of miner
al or unsurveyed lands in filling
out the 100,000 acres which the
university may select for its sup
port.
3. To permit the territory to se
lect three million acres from gov
ernment-held public lands in
Alaska.
One new proposal, on which de
tails still are being worked out
within the department, would
create a wholly-owned govern
ment corporation to manage the
Alaska Railroad.
Other proposals on which the
department will probably take a,
favorable stand would permit
Alaska cities to refund municipal
bond issues; increase from four
years to eight the length of terms
for federal district judges in Alas
ka and Hawaii, and give Alaska a
share in revenues from coal leases
within the territory.

LIGHTERAGE AND COASTWISE WATER TRAWSPORTATTON
- La— '■ 1 iii—*
ANCHORAGE—T h e multi-en
gine plane is displacing the river
barge and cross-country “Cat
train" combination in transport
ing heavy materials for construc
tion of Alaska’s White Alice com
munications network.
Thirty flights daily, weather
permitting, ferry massive freight
and resupply construction camps
of the Morrison-Knudsen Co.,
building White Alice stations for
the prime contractor. Western
Electric Co.
Cheaper by Plane
“We tried both means of trans
portation and we found it cheap
er, not mueh, but a little cheaper,
to fly materials,” Robert F. Pe
terson said. Peterson is M-K man
ager for all White Alice construc
tion.
“The elimination of rehandling
required in land-water transport,
and the elimination of crating
when cargo is airborne, makes the
difference in cost,” Peterson said.
Not only everything but every
body connected with White Alice
flies—Peterson, other company
officials, even laborers.
Big Loads to Haycock
Bill Golden, Alaska Airlines
traffic and sales manager, said
that in the previous two or three
weeks Alaska Airlines had flown
a million pounds of construction
material to one White Alice site,
near Haycock. Two million
pounds more were slated to be
flown from Nome in the follow
ing several weeks.
One day's record was 147,000
pounds shuttled thru the sky in 11
flights. Nome airport, a former Air
Force base, has some 600 aircraft
landings and takeoffs monthly.
Largest Single Employer
Peterson said a “large number”
of men were working at Haycock.
Entire White Alice construction in
Alaska employs “hundreds” of
men.
“White Alice is the largest sin
gle employer of labor in the terri
tory,” he added.
M-K supply flights employ the
C-46 twin engine, the DC-3 single
engine bush plane and the huge
four-engine military cargo planes
in about equal numbers.
At least one and sometimes four
helicopters are used for surveys.
Many of the landing strips are
mountain locked where a pilot has
to spiral down and once commit
ted to land, can’t change his mind
for a second try. They make their
deliveries daily often when the
strip is cut by strong erosswinds.
Sometimes mishaps occur under
these treacherous conditions but
usually it is merely the landing
gear which is “washed out.”
