I WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 6.—
The official duties of Delegate Su
therland and all members of Con
I gress terminated at noon on March
4th. Within a couple of days after
that date Dan left Washington on a
business mission to the New Eng
land states, and has not yet re
turned. He expected to sail from
New York, accompanied by his sis
ter, on Thursday, March 19, on a
month’s trip to Europe. In the
meantime and until- after school
terminates Mrs. Sutherland will re
main in the city with their son,
t Donald. During the summer months
the family will enjoy a much need
ed vacation at various resorts.

From many letters that have been
received from Alaska, in addition to
various newspaper criticisms, the;
impression prevails that the appro
priation passed by Congress for
the Alaska Railroad was cut from
$1,000,000 to $500,000. As a matter'
of fact the act making appropria- ^
tions for the Department of the In
terior for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1932, and which was ap
proved February 14, 1931, carries
an item of $1,000,000 for the rail
road, the same aggregate sum that
was contained in the act passed a
year ago. But there is the differ
ence that in the recent act there is
the provision “that not to exceed
$250,000 of this fund shall be avail
able for continuation of the inves
tigation of mineral and other re
sources of Alaska to ascertain the
potential resources available which
will affect railroad tonnage.” There
is the further difference that a year
ago $200,000 of the fund was made
available for ‘‘capital expenditures,” |
while this year the amount named j
[ for that purpose is $250,000.

A prominent army official ex-j
I presses the opinion that there, is
| very little prospect, at least for sev
! eral years to come, of the sale of
i private interests of the Washing
i ton Alaska military cable and tele
graph system. An act to permit
! this sale was introduced in the last
I session of Congress, but the bill was
i not reported out of committee in
either the senate or house, and of
course died with the adjournment
of Congress on March 4. While it
may be reintroduced in the session
to convene next December, it is ex
pected that the protests and objec
tions from Alaska and Seattle will
be sufficiently strong to prevent
favorable action upon the part of
Congress.
A A A A
The summary removal of W. T.
! Pinkerton as postmaster of Fair
banks, shortly after he had been
confirmed for his second term, has
caused many telegrams and letters
of protest to be received by the
postmaster general and the dele
gate from Alaska. All attest to the
high character and official capa
bility of Mr. Pinkerton. While it
is generally believed that he was
deposed because of alleged partici
I pation or knowledge of missing re
gistered letters, it is stated by a
high official in the postal depart
ment here that action was taken
because of other reasons. This of
i ficial further intimated that Mr.
Pinkerton would not be reinstated
and that the present Acting Post
master, D. J. Fairburn, would con
tinue to serve until the name of a
permanent postmaster was sent to
the senate, and confirmed, next
December.

Residents of Valdez have indicat
ed that their present postmaster,
George Warner, is to resign, effect
ive April 1, and recommendations
are being made for a successor.
