 homie Development

That closer cooperation between British Columbia and Alaska will lead to the economic progress of both countries was stated by Col John R. Moves. Alaska Road Con- missioner, who returned yesterday aboard the Prince George from a road tour of British Columbia.

 The five-point program includes year around maintenance of the Haines Cutoff, completion of the John Hart Highway, which will link the Cariboo Highway from Van couver to the Alaska Highway at Dawson Creek, construction of the Atlin-Juneau Highway, road repair on the Alaska Highway between Pouce Coupe and the Alberta bor- der, and improvement of the road to Prince Rupert.

FELDMAN IS

 5% INQUIRY
Army Official Denies Doing Anything
 Wrong in Position

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23-tR-- Maj. Gen. Herman Feldman ack- nowledged today that he gave James V. Hunt inforrpation on Army buy ing plans in 1947 but declared it was not confidential and he did not know of Hunts position as a so-called five percenter."
 In the witness chair of Senate Investigating Committee, the sus- pended Army Quartermaster Gen- eral swore:
 At no time have I abused my position or misused the influence of my office"
 The short, balding officer said, too, that he welcomed the inquiry and prepared to justify every ac- ton l have taken and every de- cision I have made"
 DONE NOTHING WRONG
 Feldman had a long prepared statement, the gist of which was that he had done nothing wrong and was motivated at all times by what he believed to be good for the service and for the country. Immediately after he finished reading it, the hearing was recessed until tomorrow when he will take the stand for questioning. GAVE HUNT INFORMATION
 The committee had set the stage for his appearance by developing from documents that he sent the buying information to Hunt and also advised the purchasing agent of Los Angeles (Calif) County to get in touch with Hunt. He told the officer that Hunt has ready en- tree to the White House" Hunt is the Management Coun- selor whose activities led the Sen ate Investigations subcommittee to order a general inquiry into five percenters"-persons who get gov ernment contracts fer others for a fee, usually five percent.
 SUSPENDED FROM ARMY
 Feldman, suspended Army Quart ermaster General, was waiting to testify when Francis D. Flanagan, assistant committee counsel, read two letters into the record. Both were written by Feldman. One letter was to Hunt. Dated July g, 1947, it accompanied the information on Army buying plans. The second letter was to Brig. Gen. Wayne R. Allen. This letter was dated November 19, 1947 when Allen was Chief Administrative Officer and Purchasing Agent for the Quartermaster Corps at Los Angeles. Feldman at that time was Brigadier General in the Corps in Washington.
 Feldman suggested that Allen drop a note to Colonel Hunt, letting him know what the prob lems of the county of Los Angeles may be, for I am sure that he could be of considerable help to you if you can interest him."

WASHINGTON-Installation of essential runway Lighting equip ment on scores of airports has been stalled for months because of a backstage wrangle over costs.
 Lack of these safety facilities is a serious flying hazard as many of the airfields are useless in bad weather and at night. Numerous other airports throughout the coun- try, which have inadequate light ing equipment, also are affected by the dispute.
 Principals in the protracted controversy are the Civil Aeronau- tics Authority and the Welsbach Corporation, Philadelphia.
 Last April, Welsbach took over the sale of the patented runway lighting equipment from the Line Material Company, Stroudsburg. Pa. The patents, owned by inven- tor Jack Barlow. Blue Bell, Pa, are so basic that CAA attorneys
