Steuart Issues Warning on

With the mailing today of appli-
cations for renewal of supplemental
gasoline ration books, District Price
Administrator L. P. Steuart warned
that persoAs failing to answer prop
erly and promptly all questions in
the forms face delay in receiving
books.
Due to the tremendous work load
already imposed on local boards and
the limited personnel. it is neces-
sary that ample time be allowed
for the proper handling of re-
neWals." Mr.. Steuart said.
The first B, C and D ration books
issued July % expire October q, he
said. All applications improperly
filled out will be returned to mo-
torists, thus causing undue delay,
he added.
He also stressed that the same
reasons given in original applica-
tions must apply in new requests for

According to the release the plane of the Northwest Airlines was loaded with radio e. quipmeut and carried several pas sengers but no notice of any kind was given to the Canadian Govern ment that the journey was eontem- plated The release tells how the plane was stopped at Edmonton. and then it continues as follows.

Railroad Now

WASHINGTON Sentinel Cor lespondence). Although nothing of ficial has been announced on the subject, there are numerous reports Jo the effect that U S. authoritits Ire still considering the possibility oI connecting the United States with Alaska by railroad. One such report is to the effect that the rail- road would follow the route Of the highway between Fort St. John and Watson Lake and then continue a. long what is known as the "B' Route up the Valley of the Francois River, oyer Boring Divide into the Pelly River watershed. and by some undetermined route be brought to the north bank of the Panama some distance east Of TanacrOss. The other report is to the effect that the suggested railroad would be built entirely on the "B" Route de parting from Prince George and continuing north to Watson Lake and thence by the route above des- eribed into Alaska. It is said that such a railroad could be built for s68,000,0OO and be completed in sixteen months. Other engineers have estimated that it would take live years to build the railroad and that 1t would cost $2o0,000,000. This is another case where the ex- perts do not seem to agree. Wheth- CT, if such a railroad were built, it would mean the diseontinuanee of the building of the highway, no one seems to know, but there is no evil dence to that effect. It will be re- membered that in one of his press conferences held sometime ago the President mentioned the possibility of building a railroad to Alaska, saying that the subject was under study, but this was before an nouncement has been made that the highway project had been adopted and that the highway would be built.
