Hearings Set By
Engineers; Anon
Will Not Attend

The board of engineers for riv-
ers and harbors will hold four
pus hearings at different cities
in the northwest at hwich views
of those interested in the corps of
engineers 1903" review report on
the Columbia river and tributar-
les will be received.
A. c. Anon, local waterways
official, said the hearings were
of interest to Kennewick only in
a general way and that he would
not attend any of them.
This announcement was made
by Colonel Theron d. Weaver,
North Pacific division engineer of
the corps of engineers, on his re-
turn from Warrington, D. c.,
where he conferred with the board
which is now considering the re-
port. The public notice, outlining
the report, was issued by Colonel
Weaver last November 8 and the
plans have subsequently been
widely discussed at various pub
lie meetings and in the press.
The river and harbor boards
hearings will be at Spokane Mon
day, January 81; at Seattle Tues
day, February 4. The time limit
for presenting comments on the
report is now extended by the
board to February 4.
The boards voluntary action in
holding the hearings in this area
is taken because of the far-reach-
ing significance and wide interest
in the regional development plans
and the recommendations conrai-
ed the report, Colonel Weaver
said. The regional hearings will
afford docal interests the maxi
mum convenience in presenting
their views to the board in per-
son. Without such hearings in this
region it would be necessary for
those who wished to comment on
the report orally to the board to
60 to Washington in order to do
so. Most hearings on regional de-
velopment plans before the Board
of engineers for rivers and har-
bors are held at Gravelly Point
in the District of Columbia.
Full details of the exact time
and meeting place for each of the
four hearings will be announced
in the near future. Notices will be
sent to those organizations and in
dividuals who received the notice
of November 8, Colonel Weaver
said.

 legislation favorable to Alaska which he believes will be intro duced when the 8lst Congress ccnvenes. President Truman, said MT. Bartlett, has already gone on record favoring statehood for AL aska, increased appropriations for Alaskan highways and improve ments in transportation regula- tions.
 Bartlett feels sure that broad CT Federal Housing Program in which Alaska will share will also be developed. With the President and Congress in harmony these and other measures beneficial to Alaska will undoubtedly be pass ed with little opposition
 Following Delegate Bartlett, Governor Gruening spoke briefly of the many advantages of state heed for Alaska He pointed out that Alaskans have already gone on record by two to one vote as favoring statehood and sthat now they can expect to take thair place in the rostra of the states.
