Interior Appropriations Bill

me heIldl 1enlnSuld ana the Fortymile country will be opened up to development of agriculture and mining through road funds approved by the House Approp- riations Committee in reporting the 1947 Interior Department Ap- propriations bill to the House. The committee allowed $500, ,dp0 for new construction by the Al aska Road Commission of a road from Kenai Lake to Homer and an appropriation of S37,500 fJI surveying this road. Delegate Bartlett, in applauding the appro- priation, stated on the floor of the House that construction of the road would enable farmers of that very promising agricul- tural area to get their products to market at a reasonable cost for the first time. It will fill a great need"
 Delegate Bartlett also praised the recommendation by the com mittee of money for building a road from Eagle to Tanacross which would open one of the oldest gold-mining areas of AL aska. Construction funds were approved for this road by the committee in the amount of S42O.-' 900 with an additional appropria- tiOn for survey work on this road in the amount of $34,5O0.
 The appropriation of the fuFfds for new construction and surveys is hampered by a provision insert ed in the bill stipulating contrib utions by the Territory of one dollar for every three dollars spent by the federal government. Delegate Bartlett, believing the provision would be crippling 3o Alaska, has vigorously protested the provision and has offered an amendment to strike it from the bill, stating that the Legislature has always contributed road funds in proportion to federal contribu- tions in excess of contributions from several states, and has donse so according to its capacity.
 Funds for hte Alaska Native Service in the amount of $3,197,- 308 represent a consolidation of money previously under separate items for education, medical re- lief and the reindeer service. The committee highly praised the work of Don C. Foster, general superin- tendent of the Alaska Native Ser vice, in it's report on the bill, as being particularly we'll qualified to perform hte duties of his a ice he IS doing so Tn an exceptionally fine way, and mem bers who know him have con- fidence that he will continue to reflect credit upon himself and the service"
 The Winfield Home near Jun eau and its founder, Minnie Field were especially commended by the committee which urged that the Indian Bureau extend aid ana assistance to the orphanage so that this splendid institution will continue to be maintained permanently on an efficient bas- is"

Operations Reported
Successful in 8Osd
OF Blue Baby Cases
BY The Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. 20. - Two
years ago today little Miss 'E. M.
S." was wheeled into the surgical
amphitheater at the Johns Hopkins
Hospital for delicate operation to
correct an insufficient flow Of blood
into her lungs.
E. NJ. S.-her identity Is q medi-
cal secret died, but the operation,
performed 270 times since that first
attempt, has given new hope to the
parents Of blue" babies throughout
the world.
The surgical technique, developed
by DR.. Alfred Blalock and DR.. Helen
B. Taussig, head of the children's
cardiac clinic, has been successful
in about 80 per cent Of the cases.
@Anniversary" Case Postponed.
There was no blue" baby opera
tion on the schedule today. Ten
year-old Judy Conner, who lives at
Richmond Hill. N. Y, was to have
been the anniversary" case, but
her operation has been postponed a
few days.
In the two years since E. M. s.
was operated on, the hospital has
been besieged with letters and teie-
grams from parents Of afflicted
children. The cardiac clinic has
scheduled $50 more operations and
has made appointments for exami-
nations at the rate Of two a day
through next May. 1t has 200 other
requests for appointments.
Each "blue" baby was born with
a malformed heart which prevents
the blood from getting enough oxy-
gen. Without the operation, virtu-
ally all are doomed to semt-invalid-
ism and early death.
Youngsters have come to Hopkins
from France, Canada and almost
every State in the Union, in Navy
bombers, chartered Army transport
planes and trains. One mother
kitch- linked 400 miles from Southern
West Virginia with her baby, only
to find he was not operable.
Nature Of Operation.
The artery which pumps blood to
the lungs of these babies is defective.
The delicate operation, sometimes
lasting three hours, consists in join
ing a branch of this artery to a
branch of the aorta, which carries
blood to all the body except the
lungs. An auxiliary supply of blood
is thus pumped to the lungs via

what physicians call the subclavian

Recently doctors at Northwestern
University have announced q sue
cessful experiment using thesaorta
itself to supplement the pulmonary
artery.
Not all blue babies can be helped.
Those who fall into the inoperable
category must wait and hope that
the constant research at Hopkins
and other hospitals will result in
cure for their type. .

On Pearl Harbor Study
BY the Associated Press

Congressional Investigators. still
sparring over fixing the blame for
the success of Japan's attack on
Pearl Harbor, decided yesterday to
seek more time to finish the Job.
Chairman Barkley of the Joint
investigating committee, said Sen
ate and House would be asked 10
shift the deadline for report from
July 10 to July Is, Originally the
report was supposed to have been in
six months ago
At the conclusion of lengthy
committee meeting yesterday. Sena-
tor Barkley told reporters that my
hope Is that we can make a unani-
NOUS report He even bristled
mildly at the idea that there might
be disagreement along Demo-
cratic-Republican lines.
Several Reports Forecast.
But Representative Keefe tR.,
Wis., said there would be more than
one report.
Other members said privately it
appeared almost certain the COM
mittee would produce at least two
versions of who was responsible for
the disaster.
One member said the committee
might agree on facts about the dip
lomatic maneuVering preceding the
attack and on the facts of what
actually happened at the Pacific
base.
But beyond that, he said, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans evidently will
interpret the facts differently.
Accord Still Lacking
subcommittee assigned to draft
report still has not reached a
complete accord on what should
be included as facts. 1t was to hear
what progress the drafters were
making that the full committee
met yesterday.
1t set another meeting for Tues
day when Senator Barkley said, it
is hoped final draft will be ready
for inspection.

posed draft on his own. 1t might

President Optimistic
Over Peace Treaties,
Hopes for World Unity
By the Associofed Pr.xs


GETTYSBURG, Pa, July s.
President Truman, filled with OPP
timism over prospects for agree
ment on the European peace
treaties. expressed a hope TODAY
for united world pursuing the
paths of eternal peace.
Conditions in the world as the
aftermath of historys greatest war
are much like those which beset
this Nation after the War Between
the States, he declared, and this
knowledge can be tremendous help
in guiding the forces of peace.
The Chief Executive, looking SOL
omnly at the Gettysburg Peace
Monument dedicated by the late
President Roosevelt in 1888, read
the inscription at the base:
Peace eternal in a nation united"
If you changed nation" TO
world" he said, you would really
have something.

ment during a brief vacation tour

President expressed the wish he
could make an announcement there
that a peace treaty had been signed

the Nation could thank God the
latter didn't succeed or il would
have been the END of the Union.
If you knew the history of this
country, it is a tremendous help in
a situation such as now confrOnts
the world, he said.
The informal chats with the re-
porters began when they met him
in front of the Virginia monument
dedicated to the men who fell under
