Mclean, of Connecticut, Republican,
is chairman Of the senate commit
tee on territories.
In view of the fact that the
members of the senate already have
gone on record as favoring the ap-
preparation of funds sufficient to
complete the government railroad in
Alaska, no particular trouble is an
ticipated in securing approval in
the upper house for the measure
introduced today.
The explanation has been made
that the amount necessary to com
plete the railroad is greater now
than when Congress was first asked
for funds TO finish the work, be-
cause of the advance in material
costs land other increases incident
to the delay in getting the desired
appropriation.
