MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRES
WRANGEIL PUBLIC PROJECTS

Aside from the usual business of the community the question of what public projects. if any. will be undertaken this winter arises.
 One of the most encouraging moves toward a public project which would mean more to the community than probably any other was the placing on the approved list of Wrangell Airfield by the Alaska Civ il Aeronautics Authority. This un- dertaking would, if actually gotten underway, provide Wrangell with the airfield it so badly needs and in addition would fill in an unem- ployment gap during the winter months But there are many hur- dles to clear.
 First, action of the Alaska CAA in putting it on the approved list has to be approved by the Washington office. Secondly, and most import ant, Congress has to appropriate money for intermediate airfields in the Territory before projects such as the airfield here can be under taken.
 Once over those hurdles, there are still other barriers. Plan has been to do preliminary work, such as slashing, clearing and grading, with Civilian Conservation Corps labor There is hope that this might be eff fected, but CCC is not permitted to undertake cooperative work of this kind unless supporting funds are a. yailable to assure completion of the project. These supporting funds could come from two sources-Fed- real and Territorial.
 The Territorial Legisla ture at it's last session set aside $25, 1000 for a landing field at Wrangell' and this money should be available for the airfield Heretofore, Highway Engineer William A. Hesse has op- posed the expenditure on grounds that Wrangell wasn't ready for an airport However, airfield develop ment is going forward in Alaska, particularly so with national de- fense, which MT. Hesse strongly sup ports, and with air-minded Gov. Ernest Gruening as Chairman of the road board, there is a possibility that this money might be forthcom- ing. However, for such a project, even $25,00O would only be a start, thus the bulk of the money must come from Federal sources.
 In addition to the airport, these

some question on the Metlakatla and .Saxman votes where Doc took the lead. Claim is some CCG boys in Metlakatla who hadn't established residence in the Territory were per mitted to vote while charge also is made that no voting booths were provided in either precinct, voters just sitting around tables and being real social about it while they cast their ballots. Election laws provide definitely for voting booths Protests may disqualify some voters.
 Probably only the Barnes-Walker contest may be changed. In the rest of the races, Democratic candidates are so far ahead in the First Divi- sion a few votes wouldn't make any difference

 Scooping the rest of the seekers after political news, Golfers Daven- port dropped into Chicago and learned the Republican organization in the Windy City had leased an el- aborate spot for Chicago headquar- ters in one of the city's swank downtown buildings But. Davenport noted, the G0Pers weren't using it. Rather, they were headquartering in another building a good, healthy distance away. Inquisitive, Reporter Davenport made a little more in quiry, found out what the ehagrin- ed Republicans had found out too late The sWank headquarters on which they had been sewed up by lease at a fancy figure was the for mer headquarters of Samuel Insult, former Chicago utilities tycoon whose empire crashed with resultant chaos a few years ago as Sam took off for foreign shores with the FBI after him. GOPers are still paying through the nose on their lease, but they are keeping the Republican campaign with it's candidate, util- ties tycoon Wendell WiIlkie of Com monwealth and Southern, as far, far away as possible from the odor left by ex-utility man Insull.
