FOR D. {. OFFICE

A full time Alaska office in
Washington, d. c., to assist the
Delegate and push such programs
as statehood, road and airfield
construction, effective shipping
legislation, and development mat
tiers before Congress and the Fed
eral administrative agencies was
proposed this week by the Alaska
Development Board here.
The Board, in a unanimous de-
claration, points out that Alaska's
Delegate, already probably the
most overworked man in Washing
ton is faced with even greater
tasks ahead in attempting to carry
out the legislative programs for
which the people of Alaska have
so decisively spoken.
Delegate E. L. Bob Bartlett
has endorsed the Development
Board proposal.
mo state has less than three
men in Congress. Board state
ment said. Alaska, with SO many
pressing needs in the national cap
ital, has been expecting one man
to do the whole job. No matter
how able and devoted our Delegate
is, it would be impossible for one
man to accomplish all the things
the Territory wants done in Wash
ington."
The Alaska Development Board
has included an item Of $65, GOO
