WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov B. Especial Correspondence) Tt is the opinion of the Railroad Retire ment Board that the retirement act passed by the last Congress does not apply to the Alaska Rail- road.
 The Boards interpretation of the applicability of the act to the government owned road, which has been moot question since passage of the bill was made at the re- quest of Delegate Dimond,
 Counsel for the Board, accord ing to information reaching the Delegate, contend the Interstate Commerce Act does not apply to the Alaska Railroad. This, of course, if correct means the pro- visions of the act do not extend to that road, since Section 1 of the law explicitly states it applies only to carriers subject to the h. erstate Act.
 The retirement act is primarily drawn to provide a retirement sys- tenn of uniformity for railroad employees.
 Not Final
