HEARING ON
HIGHWAY IS
NOW CLOSED
BY LIsETTE RIGGS

WASHINGTON, Feb. Special
Correspondence hearing on
the Alaska International Highway
before the House Roads Committee
closed today with the testimony of
1t. Col James A. Tulley, of the
Corps OF Engineers, serving with
the General Staff of the U. S.
Army. 1t. Col. Tulley submitted a
statement signed by Secretary of
War Stimson that the War De-
partment recommends enactment
of HR. 1895 as submitted.
Others testifying at the hearing
were Halvor L. Halvorsen, of Minot,
N. D., President of the United
States, Canada, and Alaska Prairie
Route Highway Association. Mr.
Halvorsen stated that the proposed
Prairie Route saved 1900 miles
from Chicago to Fairbanks, exclu-
sive of switchbacks and detours.
The industries of the Pacific Coast,
said Mr.. Halvorsen, excel in ships.
bombers; planes, none of which
need highway facilities, while the
central and eastern portions of the
States contain all the great indus
trial factories, and most of our
munition, tank, and anti-aircraft
works. In addition to which, the
Prairie Route could not possibly
be bombed, or if bombed, could be
by-passed on the prairie. Mr.. Hal
vorsen said that his organization
which had the endorsement of the
Governors of North Dakota, Mime
sofa and Montana, recommended
the bill if such "catch-phrases"
were stricken out as through the
northwestern part of Canada"

Mcdonald pointed out that the
maximum snowfall was ten to
thirteen inches all along the route.
He pointed out that Lloyds con-
siders Alaska shipping bad risk.
He reminded the committee that
Premier p. d. Patello, of British
Columbia, came to Washington
three times about the highway,
and that the Canadians had spent
$l50,000 on reconnaissance to our
$4,000. In answer to Representa-
tive James w. Mott, of Oregon, Mr..
Mcdonald pointed out that an add
ed reason for not putting the
Route A. through Hazleton was
the lack of gravel north of Halle
ton, while the gravel supply was
adequate on all the rest of the
route except that portion lying 90
miles on the Alaska side of the
boundary.
Chairman Wilburn Cartwright of
Oklahoma, who had recovered SUI
ficiently from his illness to be
present, stated that in the opin-
ion of the Secretary of Interior,
the President had at present the
right to order the construction OF
a highway to Alaska. Representa-

would involve a departure. from
