Alaska Road Plans
Nears Coinpeletion
Replying to inquiries, the Pres
ident said he thought that the
War department had about com
pleted work on plans for some
sort of highway or road to Al
aska, but that various routes
were suggested and various pro
posals made He added that if
anything is going to be done by
January 1, 1943, some action
was needed promptly.
President Roosevelt said he
thought it was important to ob
tain better communications to
the Territory and said there had
been numerous suggestions for
meeting the needs of war.
Some thought that it would be
most practical, he asserted, to
buil ' a light one track railroad,
which would be easier to keep
open in the winter than a high
way. Some suggested using ships
through the Inside passage and
constructing a highway to the
end of the passage on. Still
others said transport planes were
the best method.
Delegate Dimond’s measure,
H. R. 3095* calling for the sum
of $25,000,000 for the construc
tion of a highway to connect the
States with Alaska, is still in the
House Committee on Roads. Mr.
Dimond has spoken on the floor
of the House stressing the stra
tegic and economic importance
of this “life-line to Alaska.’’
