amount consists of SAL, 780 for coasta
survey work in Alaska, including
s26 600 for special aerial photogra-
phic equipment; $500 for magnetic
and seisinologicaf work, including
the completion of the observatory
at Sitka, Alaska. y
Education Of Natives
In connection with the funds fol-
the education of the natives of Al
aska, although substantial increases
have been obtained in recent years
the appropriations SO set up for the
natives of Alaska are still less than
are given under similar circumstanc
es for the education of the indians
who reside in the United States. II
Alaska were treated the same as the
States, that particular item would
be about 100000 more than the
amount shown.
Airplane Fields
The Budget contains an estimate
Of S33 500 900 for the development OF
airplane landing fields for national
defense. An appropriation of $40,-
100000 for the same purpose was
made by the 18th Congress, and
of that amount S3,000,000 has beer
allocated to Alaska for airfields
tentatively selected at Juneau
Boundary, Big Delta. Cordova, Kot-
zebue, Nome and Ruby; the work
to commence as soon as weather
conditions permit.
OF the new Budget estimate OF
100000, no ALLEGATION has been
made among the states and terri
tories. 1t is understood that part
of the amount will be expended
through WPA. Information at hand
indicates that Alaska may expect to
receive about 100000 out of the
new appropriation when made, al
though there is no certainty on the
subject.

This is certainly contrary TO
