ming and designing of public works to be constructed during the postwar period.
 Money for the planning of a water supply dam and sewers in Wrangell and library and fire station in Juneau will be advanced under this program.
 Delegate Bartlett hopes that all eligible applicants will take ad- vanage of the EVA program for the planning of much needed pub lie facilities throughout Alaska. The program is authorized by Title V of the War Mobilization and Reconversion Act. The ad- vances by the EVA are repayable without interest when, as, and if local funds become available for construction.
 If the projects do not material ize, the funds advanced are not repayable. Such advances are made by representatives of local public bodies in incorporated towns or cities. Applications should be sent to MT. L. R. Dur kee, Division Engineer, Bureau of Community Facilities, Fede l Agency, Division No. 8, 511 Alas ka Building, Seattle 4, Washing ton.

2. Eo' g ...r, The Air Route Conflict

Anchorage Ilmes) ,ey sjs tE 1
 So much confusion has marked current discussions o air routes to and through Alaska that it is difficult to separate the wheat from the chaf without thorough picture of the proposition in general as 1t effects Aaska with especial consideration of each and community and the benefits that stand to be gained or lost
 This confusion has not just happened, like Iopsy Ii has been planted cultivated and harvested by se1lsn interests each with definite motive and oe1lnte goal .
 It is historically fact that Alaska has suffered from its own disunity. There is danger that this dsunty might once damage the best interests of the lerr tory In 1903 committee of Senators came to Alaska to learn what Alaskans wanted in the way ot govern ment They found every city with different story They found Alaskans themselves were not Tn accord They returned Congress, reported the dlsunty ana did nothing on the basis that if Aaskans could not agree on the certainly Congress could not do so successfully.
 This summer more legislators to Alaska and found disharmony subjects pertaining to govern ment and legislation. .,,
 Today some Alaskan communities are joining with Seattle in an attempt have the main air route to the Orient pass through that city, course ot acton that would eliminate the proposal to give Alaska direct ar line connection with Chicago and New York Anchorage is apparently leading the battle to defend the proposed inland route to the States with the support of many powerful individuals and organizations within Alaska and also with the unanimous support ot the AlaSKa De velopment Board.
 The future of Alaska is involved. The issue Is much bigger than any city and well worth careful study tv all persons interested in the development of the Ter ritory.

Delegate Seeks Veterans Administration Regional Office Y0 Alaska

.T a
 Office In Alaska
 Declaring that ''it has been con- cluded that a regional office for Alaska is not feasible" General Omar N. Bradley, Administrator of. Veterans Affairs, has made known his decision following rep resentations made to him by Dele gate Bartlett and many other in- terested persons urging establish ment of a regional office in the Territory with branch and contact offices throughout Alaska. General Bradley's statement reads as fol- lows:
 You may be assured that the Veterans Administration has not been unmindful of the problems presented in rendering compre- hensive service to the veterans of Alaska by virtue of the conditions individual to the Territory.
 ''The question of creating a complete regional office in a se- lected city has been made the sub ject of a careful and intensive study during the past several months and it has been concluded that a regional office for Alaska is not feasible.
 Since it is believed that ade- quate regional office service may be afforded Alaskan veterans by the Seattle, Washington, office, no change will be made in the pres ent arrangement. The Administra- ton will exert every effort to pro- vide service in Alaska commen- surate with the factors involved"
 Delegate Bartlett and Governor Gruening, who is now in Wash ington, are personally urging upon General Bradley that faster, more adequate and efficient service can be rendered to veterans by the es- tablishment of a regional office in Alaska.

Delegate Moves

Delegate Bartlett and his family have moved from their residence| in. Arlington, Virginia, to Wash ington. Their new address is l7l8| 33rd Place, S. E., and their home phone is Atlantic 5991. Fourth Class Posfmasters 'S ''c
 The Senate Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads has rel ported favorably to the Senate| Delegate Bartlett's bill which pro- vides that an employee of the Fed ral Government, who is citizen| of the United States, shall be eli-| gible for appointment and com- pensation as postmaster of any fourth-class office in Alaska.
 The bill, which previously has| passed the House, is necessary bel cause many of the fourth-class of- fices in Alaska have had to bel closed due to the ruling of the| Comptroller General that a person. receiving compensation through employment by the Federal Gov-| ernmnt, such as a teacher of the Office of Indian Affairs, cannot undertake the duties and pay of al second Government agency. Hatch Act
 Favorable action by the House Committee on the Judiciary is an ticipated on MT. Bartlett's bill| which provides that employees of the Federal Government, includ- ing employees of The Alaska Rail- road, residing in municipalities on the line of the Railorad, may par ticipate in local political activities.
 A subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee has acted on this mea- sure and will report it favorably to the whole committee for fur ther action. Gold And Silver Mine
 Operators May
 Get Relief
 The House Committee on Mines and Mining has acted favorably upon the bill of Representative Engle of California which pro- vides for suspension of enforce ment of certain obligations against the operators of gold and silver| mines who have been forced to cease operations because of the war.
 The bill, which was substituted for Senator McCarran's bill which passed the Senate some months ago, provides that any operator, who because of the unavailability| of supplies and equipment is un- able to continue operation of his silver or gold mine and thus full fill any contract to purchase such property or requiring the perform ance of certain work on his prop erty, may appeal to a United States district court for relief. The court, after hearing, may order suspension of work to be done in order to fulfill any contract or| make any disposition of the case as may be equitable to conserve| the interest of all parties. In no case will the suspension extend for more than one year after the

TIN.

Tin. If
Bolivia produces most Of the tin
in the Western Hemisphere. Ar
gentina contributes a few hundred
tons annually, Mexico and Peru a
smaller amount.
Latin America normally produced
one-fifth Of the worlds supply of
this vital metal. OF the average
world mine production for 1865,
which amounted to 1882 long
tons, Is per cent came from Latin
America.
The Important producing
countries, in order of their con-
tributions, are the Malay States,
Netherlands Indies. Bolivia, Thai
land (Siam) and Nigeria. Tin is a
chemical element obtained Thy
smelling cassiterite} as a soft, lus-
trous white. crystalline metal, mall
leable at ordinary temperatures, but
brittle when heated.
For many centuries. the prop
critics of tin as an alloy and a
protective coat for other metals
have been known. But tin really
came into its own when 1t was used
IN making containers for food
Alarm clocks, flashlights, toys and
countless other articles also are
made of tin. ,.-..>
Today, this metal is important ss
a strategic material. In normal
times, one-haf of our tin supply
was used as solder, which is
single alloy or metal in molten
form used to join and seal metallic
surfaces. Babbitt metal Is an alloy
made from varying parts of tin,
antimony and copper. Bronze is an
alloy of tin and copper. Then think
of the tin foil. terne plate, sheet
steel covered with a mixture Of
lead and tin; collapsible tubes for
various kinds of pastel and tubing.
Galvanizing or the coating of other
metals and many other products
which today have become very
scarce, used up tons Of tin.
The tin belt of Bolivia is a strip
about 500 miles long and so miles
wide. The mines are at elevations
from $4,000 to 5000 feet above sea
level. Bolivia's exports of tin con-
tribute a great proportion OF the
government income.
