stitutional care.

StltutlOndI CdTc.
 The Bureau of the Budget is now processing a supplemental es- innate to take care of the remod- cling of the buildings at Fort Ray mond, and it is hoped clearance will be made by the Bureau in time for the appropriation to be included in the Interior Appropri- ation bill for l946 which is now before the Senate. having passed the House several weeks ago.
 MT. Bartlett states that he will work vigorously for an appropria- ion for funds to reconstruct the buildings on an enlarged scale at Eklutna so that a permanent es- tablishment may be safely main tained at that place.
 HOUSE PASSES
 POSTMASTER MEASURE
 The House has passed MT. Bart let's bill, H. R. 656, which pro- vides that postmasters of fourth class offices in Alaska may be ap- pointed who already hold other government positions, regardless of compensation.
 This legislation is necessary be- cause of the difficulty in getting anyone willing or suited to be postmaster in some of the remote localities in the Territory. Many of the fourth class post offices in Alaska have been closed because the one person in the place, either the teacher or the special assistant of the Office of Indian Affairs who is both willing and able to undertake the duties of postmas- ter, has been forbidden by ruling of the Comptroller General to hold, in effect two government po- sitions.
 The measure has now gone to the Senate for action.
