WASHINGTON
 NEWS SLEEPER
By MARY LEE COUNCIL (Sccretary 10 E. L. Bartlett, Delegate 10 Congress
 from .AlaSka)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 - Dele gate Bartlett has introduced a measure to extend the Federal Aid and Highway Acts to Alaska.
 Under the provisions of this bill, the Territory would become eligible for its proportion in the allocation of funds for highway construction. Because of it's vast area, the cal culations to determine such alloca- tions would be based on one-half of the land area of Alaska.
 The Federal Aid and Highway Acts now embrace the 48 states, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, but not Alaska, and provide that each shall contribute funds from it's treasury for the maintenance of roads con- structed with funds apportioned to it by the United States Govern ment. However, MT. Bartlett's bill provides that the money allocated to the Territory from having to meet the requirements of appro- priating maintenance funds.
 Ideal Arrangement
 If the bill can be passed in the form it was introduced, an ideal arrangement would be provided for future road building in Alaska" Delegate Bartlett said. However, preliminary and informal conversa- tions indicate the bill will have far from clear sailing. It may be ex- pected that ready assent will not be given to the proposition that Alaska alone of all the political subdivision shall not be required to pay road maintenance costs. In addition, it is understood there is not unanimity of opinion within the Public Roads Administration which would become the agency having to do with Alaska roads if the bill is pasSed-that the formula for arriving at a determination of funds for Alaska roads, first sug- gested by former Delegate Dimond and repeated in this bill, ought to apply. If the bill could pass as it is now drawn, I believe it would be favored by most Alaskans. If limit ing amendments are suggested by the Public Roads Administration or by Congressional committees, it will be necessary for us to reexam- inc the matter to determine if it would be any improvement over the present system of road construction and maintenance"

 Illusions service with the War Department Engineers began in June, 1924, when he served as a dredgehand at Willapa Harbor. Wash. lie continued on the Wiliapa Harbor job until 1850, the latter tour years a surveyman His eleva- ton to inspector for the Seattle district engineer office in 1880. finally brought him in contact with the Alaska area when he had charge of the removal of channel Instructions at Dutch Harbor and he conducted reconnaissances for the Juneau Harbor.
 Gee, a graduate of the Case School of Engineering of Cleveland, o., was cited for his work as Cadastral engineer for the Canol project in the Mackenzie River area.

Engineers In the Buffalo district until March, l943, when he joined the Edmonton, Can, office on the Canol job.

WAR PLANT LOAN

Delegate Bartlett has announced that the first loan to a business firm outside the 48 states has been arranged by the Smaller War Plants Corporation for the produc- tion of vitally needed material fol airplanes and other war produc- tion
 The loan of $23,0o0 will be made and serviced by the First National Bank of Ketchikan to the w. M. Walker Spruce Company of Craig, Alaska, under an agreement with the SWPC.. The money will be used to purchase logs, pay labor and other operating expenses, ac- cording to the Delegate, and the sawmill is ready to begin opera tions immediately. Seventy per cent of the mills output will be shipped by water to Everett, Washington, to be processed into airplane stock. The remaining 30 per cent will go into the manufacture of boxes for shipment of fish to our armed services and for essential civilian use.
 Tt seems to me-" Delegate Bart lett stated, that this initial loan through the SWPC to open a new Alaskan business is of tremendous significance. When Maury Maverick, Chairman of the SWPC, visited Alaska last summer, he had an opportunity to see first-hand the potentialities of Alaska as a from tier for returning veterans. This initial loan can very well point the way to the development of AlaSka'S great natural resources for

STATEHOOD FOR ALASKA

Delegate Bartlett has received from the Legislature of the State of Montana copy of joint resolu- tion passed by both houses and ap- proved by the Governor urging upon Congress immediate admis- sion of Alaska as a state.

FAF Gridsters Choose

F.
 Jesse Marlborough, Clemson star tackle during Red" Cagle's hey dey at the U. S. Military Academy, took over the top coaching assign ment for the gridmen who will rep resent the First Air Force in the recently formed AAF football league. .:. - :-:.: .
 The FAF football squad is one of seven major command teams formed by Army Air Forces to stimulate physical training pro- grams at all continental AAF bases. Although most of the teams in the league played last year, the 1945 season marks the football debut of. First Air Force eleven.
 Marlborough, now Major Jesse H. Marlborough of the AAF, wrote football history back in the late twenties as tackle extraordinary for Clemson College, a brain foun- dry noted for turning out "hot" athletes as we'll as scholars.
 Under his skipper, Josh Cody, a Vanderbilt star, Marlborough also played first base on the baseball team, and helped guide the Clem-

"The Ferocious Gentlemen"


 Things have come to a pretty pass in Brooklyn. Branch Hickey won't let the fans insult our Buns anymore. And to quote Hilda Ches- ter, the number one fan in our town, tits the raw-rest deal they ever done in Flatbush."
 Right now we are up around the top of the league, which is as it should be, and there is mirth again at Flynn's saloon where crepe was hung last year, But some of the fire has died out of the ball yard, some of the life has gone from the game. Branch Hickey just won't let the fans insult our Buns.
 This change in front office policy was inaugurated while back after Lippy Leo Durocher, our dandy little manager, was arrested on the complaint of a Dodger fan who charged that the dandy one and another guy fed him some knuckles under the stands, having objected, it seems, to some of his remarks from the bleachers.
 Players" said Hickey, rushing to the Lips defense, "have sensi- bilities and we must protect them from abuse"
 Warming up, the Mahatma went further-several thousand we'll chosen words further. His players, said he, were "fine gentlemen. They would become known in the baseball world as "a team of fero- cious gentlemen. They were out to win the flag.
 Fan reaction to the Hickey pro-
Bradley beam., 1945-07-21

nouncement was withheld until our Bums-as promised-began to win the pennant. We took 12 straight, lost couple, then won 8 in row. We passed the Cards, Pittsburgh and then them lousy Giants. We moved into the lead. We fell out. We climbed back in. We stuck there a while.
 Then the fans reacted. They cheered Luis Olmo, the Puerto Rican beauty, every time he drove in a run. They whooped for Goody Rosen, the new Colossus, every time he made a catch. They hol- lered like fiends for Hal Gregg, the fireball righthander; towering Howie Schultz, the first baseman; Eddie Basinski, the kid shortstop; Augie Galan, the classy veteran, and all the rest of our heroes. And once when Dixie Walker, the pride and joy of all Flatbush, won game in the 9th with homer, a fan leaped the left field bleacher wall, ran all the way across the field and shook Dixie's hand at the plate.
 There hasn't been an insult in Ebbets Field for weeks. The most abusive remark recorded since mid May was one directed at Curt Davis after that worthy had walked two men, including the tying run, with one out in the ninth.
 "Take it easy, Coit," fan plead ed lovingly, "ya bum, ya."
 It's peace. It's wonderful. But is it Brooklyn?

 Although he coached the Max we'll Field, Montgomery, Ala, foot ballers last year, the major part of Yarborough's military career has been spent in administrative work for he Army Air Forces. He has held assignments as Squadron Commander and Commandant of Student Officers at Maxwell Field, Alabama.
 Marlborough, a reserve officer, went on active duty with the AAF in July 1942 as a First Lieutenant at Miami Beach, Florida. The major is 38 years of age, married, and mighty proud of his two kids Jesse, IT,, aged 6, and Louise, II.
 Queried on the First Air Forces football outlook this season Coach Marlborough said bluntly, "Its much too soon to predict anything. This is the first year the Command has had team. Give us few weeks and maybe we'll know more. Just bear in mind, however, that the First Air Force does a good job with everything it tackles. A glance at the records of combat crews trained here will show you that"
