Alaska Stands To Lose $9,900,000
Thru Veto of Federal Airport Act
eration of approximately 102 pro
jects throughout the1 Territory.
The bill vetoed by the Presi
dent would have made available
an additional $900,000 for the
present, or 1959 fiscal year, and
$2,250,000 a year for the 1960,
1961, 1962 and 1963 fiscal years
for a total of $9,900,000.
In passing the measure, the
Congress approved language
which would have permitted the
continuation of the special 75-25
formula for Alaska under state
hood.
Ban Closes Straits
To Canadian Fishermen
SEATTLE, UP\ — Canadian sock
eye salmon fishermen, over a half
million fish ahead of their Amer
ican counterparts in the take
through last weekend, will be ex
cluded from ^fishing the Canadian
side of the Strait of Juan De Fuca
after 8 p.m. Tuesday.
The ban was ordered by the
two-nation International Pacific
Salmon Fisheries Commission in
an effort to equalize the catches
of Americans and Canadians.
U. S. fishermen boated '625,000
sockeye over the weekend for a
season total of 3,443,000 fish but
that was 539,000 short of the
Canadian catch.
The closure to Canadians is tan
tamount to the end of the season
for them, since the sockeye run
is expected to fade out before
the ban is lifted.
The commission also closed the
area between Victoria and the
mouth of the Fraser River on the
Canadian side of the international
boundary. The Fraser River prop
er was closed at 8 p.m. Wednes
day until all escapemerft require
ments are met.
By E. L. BARTLETT
Delegate in Congress from Alaska
Alaska stands to lose 39,900,000
through the veto last week by
President Eisenhower of the bill
to extend the Federal Airport Act_
to June 30, 1963.
The measure sent to the White
House the week of adjournment
of the 85th Congress would have
extencfed the program, due to ex
pire next June 30, for four more
years and would have increased
the authority granted to the Sec
retary of Commerce in obligating
funds for matching purposes to
assist the states, Alaska, Hawaii,
Puerto Rico and the /Virgin Is
lands in developing a national
system of public airport projects.
The original law was enacted
in 1946 at which time Delegate
Bartlett was successful in obtain
ing approval of a special formula
for Alaska. Under the program th£
public land states put up 37 Vi
per cent of the cost of a given
project, the federal government
allocating the remaining 62V£ per
cent. The other ^Jates, Puerto Rico
and Hawaii receive funds under
a 50-50 matching formula, while
the formula for Alaska, later ex
tended to the Virgin Islands, allo
cates 75 per cent in federal funds
to the cost of a project, with
Alaska contributing 25 per cent.
Since the 1947 fiscal year, the
federal allocation for Alaska has
amounted to $7,284,922, including
$1,356,000 for the present fiscal
year, allowing favorable consid- j
