ALASKA GIVEN BIG SUM THROUGH INT. DEPT. MONEY GRANT

The Interior Department appro- priation bill which has passed the House contained more than $50,000,- coo for Alaska projects, according to i, Delegate Bartletts news letter dated May 28.
 Although the figure represents a reduction of around S5,500,000 in the Presidents budget estimates, it i is more than double any previous Interior appropriation for Alaska Fifteen million dollars for the Alaska Railroad, $13 3,5oo,OoO for roads and over $5,000,000 for a tuberculo- sis sanitarium are the principal items in the record breaking appropria- ton.
 The til provides $32, ,8f9,59 in cash SIS, ,464, 497 more than last year-and contract authorizations totalling $17,625, 900.
 Construction of mining experi- ment station would be made pos sible through a $25o,000 appropria- i tion.
 i A start would be made on plac- ing asphalt surfacing on the Rich ardscn and Glenn Highways with the biggest road appropriation in Alaska's history.
 Additional funds would be avail able for enforcement of fisheries regulations.
 Four control stations for the care of the tuberculous would be set up at cost of $10OO00 each, with $780, 00O for operating expenses. An item of $l50,0o0 is provided for | the first time to be used in survey ing Alaska's water resources.
 Tn general it may be said the Territory was treated magnificiently we'll" said Delegate Bartlett We can be grateful to the Interior De- partment for having presented and supported this real development program. Likewise we have reason to be thankful for the understand i ing consideration given by the ap- propriations subcommittee which re- ported out the till. There are few corrections which I think should be made by the Senate. Chief among these has to do with the request for larger appropriation for the Alas ka Game Commission. The depart ment asked for something over s40o,- 900 but the bill as it passed the House contained $l75,000, exactly the came amount as for this fiscal year. It is absolutely necessary more money be made available if our wildlife resources are to be preser- we'd. and I so indicated in speech made before the House on the bll during general debate

OIL EXPLORATION
 IN ALASKA ASKED
 TO BE CONTINUED

WASHINGTON, June 3. tR The House Appropriations Committee to- day recommended $l4,600,000 for continued oil exploration in Alaska.
 The navy had requested $22,000,- 900 after telling an Appropriations Subcommittee that prospects for the discovery of oil in Alaska are as good If not better-than ever.
 In testimony made public along with the recommendation Commo- dore W. G. Greenman. director of Naval Petroleum Reserves, con- ceded, however, that no oil of com mercial value has yet been found there.
 Rep. Albert Thomas tD-Tex9 asked Greenman what is the basis for optimism over Alaskan oil.
 Replied Greenman:
 Our geologists and petroleum engineers are passing it on the fact that the deposits we find up there are the same sort in which we find oil in other parts of the country and aboard, and on the fact that we have oil seepages up there in many places
 Greenman said the Navy has iin- ished drilling two wells, each more than 5000 feet deep, and is now boring a third that may reach a depth of 7,200 feet.
 The first two showed evidences oi oil but nothing of commercial worth, he added. The third is now down to a depth of 6,700 feet and drilling is still going on, he said.

The local route serves 28

ton and Harrisonburg, Va.
The round trip of 292 miles Is
made daily, except Sundays.
The bus leaves Washington
at $50 am. and arrives In
Harrisonburg at II am. The
return trip takes from 4. pm.
to $50 pm.
Two buses alternately make
the run, a spanking new We
hicle, brightly painted and
boasting a number of new
gadgets for comfort and con-
venience, having been bought
recently to lend support to
the tired old bus which had
travelled nearly 500, 900 miles
over the seven and q half
years since the service began.
Crews, too, alternate from
week to week. Because they
put in long days on the Job,
these postal workers get eight
days of for every six worked
in order to average a 40-hour
week through the year.

Postal Air
Service Now
Established

The advent of speedier nation
wide worldwide air parcel post
service September brings back to
minds Of old-timers the introduc-
ton of similar surface operations
35 years ago. It was in 1913, ac-
cording to Postmaster Norman
Ward of Rockville that parcel post
first made its, appearance in the
United States. b. 8,
The service at that time was
established primarily to aid farm
ers and hamlets, located off the
beaten paths, in lexpeditinR their
products to market and, in turn,
receiving sorely needed goods from
larger cities. However, mail order
houses and other establishments
were quick to realize its value.
From that modest beginning,
parcel post has grown to become
an integral cog in the far-flung
American postal operations. It's
annual poundage, keeping step
with the progress Of transporta-
ton, has scared from a few mil
lion to billions Of pounds of as
sorted commodities. And now
comes air service.
