Officials Suprised
At Heintzleman’s
Road Prediction .
VANCOUVER, W)—Government
and tourist officials have ex
pressed surprise at a prediction
iby Gov. Frank Heintzleman of
Alaska that a new highway link
ing Alaska and the United States
will be built through British Col
umbia.
Highways Minister P.* A. Gag
lardi said in a telephone interview
from Kamloops that “It’s the first
I’ve heard of it.”
He said the highway could only
be buirt as a defense measure,
“and if the federal government
gave permission we wouldn’t
stand in the way. It’s not clear
what he’s getting at.”
J. M. Hughes, executive direc
tor of the B. C. Tourist Assn., said
“I can’t even see the need for such
a highway. At least not until the
present highway is paved and a

Gov. Heintzleman told a con

bankers in Seattle Alaska has

Foreign Aid Bill
WASHINGTON, UP>—The House
today passed and sent to the Sen
ate a $3,800,000 foreign aid bill
slashed by more than a billion
dollars below President Eisen
hower’s request.
The formal rolleall vote con
firmed House opposition this elec
tion year to an overseas aid pro
gram as large as the $4,900,000,000
Eisenhower said was nee*4 -d for
American and free world security.
The final vote for passage was
273-122.
The legislation was reported
headed for further trouble in the
Senate, where some key senators
have said it should be cut even
further. It is still $1,100,000,000
bigger than the appropriation vot
ed by Congress last year.
Barges for Lomens
Loaded on Tonsina for
Shipment to Nome
SEATTLE, (iff—Two steel tank
er barges, built in six weeks for a
rush project at Nome, Alaska,
were launched on the Duwamish
River Thursday by the Hydraulic
Supply Mfg. Co. One slid down
the ways and the others was lifted
into the water by a crane.
The barges were designed for
the Lomen Commercial Co. by H.
C. Hanson, naval architect. They
will be used to ferry petroleum to
the Nome area, because ships have
to anchor off the beach, and car
goes are taken ashore by lighter.
The barges are 80 feet long and
30 feet wide, with a capacity of
85,000 gallons each. Each barge
also carries a deck tank, 36 feet
long and 10 feet in diameter, hav
ing a capacity of 20,000 gallons.
The barges and tanks are valued .
at $85,000.
The-barges were loaded Friday
aboard the Alaska Steamship Co.
freighter Tonsina, which will car
ry them to Nome.
