The G.adGs RoeGe4
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

Delegate Bob Bartlett says in his letter, "There is no guaran- tee, however, that the money (for the rehabilitation of the Seward-Portage section of the railroaO will be granted by Congress. It may take a while to achieve that. That is because the Department of the Interior has consistently told the Appro- priations Committees that the requests for money . ;. which were incorporated in the 1851 budget would conclude the gen. eral Alaska Railroad construc- ton program. So I suspect there may be some reluctance to go along with this latest request
 The request for one and a half million dollars to repair the bridges and loop will be strongly supported by the De- partment of Defense. It is to be hoped, however, that the SUD- port will also include recom- mendation for speedy action. Otherwise heavy snows will pre- clude the possibility of repair in this season and freight traf- fife will be greatly curtailed if not stopped altogether.
 It is encouraging to see that at long last some official notice other than that of the Interior Department has been taken of the condition of the railroad.
 The appropriation as asked for by the railroad was so dras- tically and ruthlessly cut by Congress last month that it is hard to believe even of Con- gressmen sitting 5000 m e s away. To deliberately close one of the two seaports supplying the entire inland territory in the face of emergency, seems too stupid to credit. It was necessary for military representatives on the scene to step in to prevent so disastrous move. Let us hope that the intervention was not another example of too late with too little.

"squeaky' told him a thing or
two.
This is a war! We're going to
fight it!'
Call For "Squeaky"
The Navy knew what to do
with a man like that. When the
Americans decided to occupy Adak
Island in the fall of 1912, % of
the first Is landing crafts just
about tipped over. After reach
ing shore, there was no ammunition
for the field artillery, and a lot of
other confusion. The mixup was
too much for the Commander,
General Eugene Landrum.
Holy Moses, get 'Squeaky'
quick." he cried.
"Squeaky's" headquarters on
Adak was duly named Squeaky-
vile with sign to boot. He
played an important part in opera
tons throughout the Aleutians.
Confused with Japs
Returning from Seattle, after
being promoted to Commodore,
"Squeaky' was in command of an
old Navy tug Juggling an old barge
toward Alaska. "Squeaky" found
the crew did not know how to
handle the % nm. canons prop
erly. So he ordered practise. They
fired on the additionally unin-
habited Pye Island, off Seward.
Naval headquarters in Alaska
was in an uproar. An alert signal
was given that the Japs were
bombing the island. A plane was
sent out hurriedly to make sure.
When the full story was later
known, "Squeaky" discovered to
his amazement that the island was
occupied by an American radar
crew, which ran for cover after the
bombardment, reporting it came
from Japs.
In the South Pacific "Squeaky'
served with the 5th Amphibious
Fleet and as beachmaster in
charge of putting up to 10000 mer
ashore during invasions on Gilbert
Island, Marianas, Carolinas, 1--we
Jima, Okinawa, etc.
Toughest Patient
After an unusually difficult job
"Squeaky" returned to the mair
ship to make a final written re.
port. His face was all white, his
body shook. The doctor told him
he was very sick and that he had
pneumonia. They put him in vari-

when he was 10 years old and in
subsequent years often travelled
between Finland and United States
as well as Canada, where he also
lived. In 1888, while in Finland,
he volunteered for service in the
Finnish army and in the following
year saw action in the Finnish
Russian war.
In 1941 he went back to the
United States and volunteered his
services in Americas war against
Nazism. He served with the
American 10th Mountain Division,
receiving some training at Mount
Rainier, and was fighting near the
Austrian border in Italy, when the
war ended. There is no doubt in
his mind that the Finnish Russian
war was the hardest experience OF
the two.

Scandinavian Tough Guy in the Pacific War

Gus beds on various decks. But
"Squeaky" always got away. They
put him into an isolation ward.
From there he broke out, too. de-
spite guards.
Il wanted to complete my re-
port. That was more important.
In Hawaii, an experienced nurse
was assigned to handle him, bed
him down good and hard. She later
wrote that "he was the toughest
patient I have ever had during nv
long career"
"Squeaky' was tough, but some
times the strain was too much for
him. Once he didn't sleep one wee
bit for nine days and nights. After
that they had to carry him to bed.
Another one of his feats was the
successful completion of three in
vasions in one week, on Engebi,
Eniwetok and Parry Islands. 70
AS with all strong-willed Char
acters" there are a lot of anec-
dotes circulating about "Squeaky"
and most of them appear to be
true.
Brave In Action and Speech
When the soldiers up in Aleu-
tians started calling him sir,
"Squeaky, retorted swiftly, ito H.
with sir, just call me 'Squeaky,!"
Once when he suddenly barged
into an important conference con-
Quoted by generals and admirals,
an admiral gasped at the sight of
him, for he was not dressed prop
erly. When the admiral ventured
firm objection, it was overruled
by another big-wig, saying, why
don't you know, that's 'Squeaky'?"
There was also the time, when
"Squeaky" after listening to a
boring talk by an admiral, just
said slyly, look, admiral, why,
don't you quit being bastard for
a while!"-and got away with it.
Lives in Seattle

English was couple of cuss

A year later he was in Alaska,
the following seven years he was
sailing on ships to and from Alaska
and those were tough days for
seamen. During the first World
War he served as officer aboard
ships in the Alaskan area, finished
as lieutenant. During the twen-
ties he was working for fishing
firms. Once he got involved in a
court room scandal. The jury
freed him, but he lost a job. In
1881 he was captain for a little
trading ship, Polar Bear, which
became famous along the Alaskan
coast from Ketchikan to VAIN
wright. Once upon. time it was
the only passenger boat going up
Cook Inlet to Anchorage. He also
acquired ownership of fish cam
neries.

COME NOW, SENATOR ANDERSON

In the discussions statehood for Alaska in the Senate on November 29 and according to the Con gressional Record, Senator Anderson, New Mexico suggests that those the Senate who doubt Alaska ability to maintain herself state, read the record of the statehood hearings.
 Said Senator Anderson: Some concern has been expressed by those who claim an apparent inability on the part of Alaska to maintain herself as state would be worried too if l had not heard the testi- mony I suggest that those who make such clam read the hearings in which they will find that persons from Alaska who knew their own budget well, pre- sened it time after time and justified their belief that Alaska could function properly state"
 So, at Senator Andersons suggestion, we look again to the record of Alaska statehood hearings held before the Committee on Interior and Insular Pos sessions last April.
 The budget is under discussion on page 128 of the hearings and we will start from there:
 Mrs Hermann. Addressing Senator Anderson) would hate to suggest that your addition is wrong there Senator but that budget con- pletly balanced when gave it to you Gaughter0
 Senatar Anderson: You start with s1002o,2O0"
 Mrs Hermann. Let me find my papers"
 Senator Anderson. Tt is very easy. You start with slOo20 200 and you add $50O0OO from the sale of lands and $3O000O from tobacco and Ss25,ooo from the Pribilof seals Now that is only $1,725ooo is not?"
 Mrs Hermann. That is right
 Senator Anderson. Then add S175oo t1rom the Forest Service and you end up with s11,7627oO You add it and what you get.
 Mrs Hermann. What you do not have in your figures that I have estimated income that could be derived though not advocating it. from increases in fuel tax s850OO0 fuel tax. If we double our present fuel tax We would have s850,00O."
 Senator Anderson. That is the reason do not have it (the budget balanced. You have mot said anything about actually putting that figure in So, we have s85OOOO That would balance it. Haughter)
 of course, by the theory you could keep adding million here and million there. Does this strike you as sensible way to balance it by the addl- tion of fuel tax. What is your present fuel stua- tion?'

Happy Chandler's Tears

Senate colleagues always knew baseball Commissioner A. B. (Hap- py) Chandler as one of the happiest men in Congress when he served as Senator from Kentucky. But his smile turned to tears at his annual banquet for Major League club owners in Tampa.
 Happy had just been informed by his guests that his S65 5,00O-a- year contract would not be renewed.
 No one was expected to show up for the banquet that followed but Chandler went through with it nonetheless. News reports that the party proceeded without hitch were wrong. It started at 500 pm two hours late. All but New York Giants Horace Stoneham and St Louis Cards Fred Saigh came Saigh is reported to be the big gun behind Chandler's custer.
 The unhappy host refused to take his customary seat at the head table but sat by himself with his back to his guests. Several times he was forced to leave the room to wipe his eyes.
 Chandler, sitting alone, said he was sitting where he felt he be- longed. Once he sent out for a box of cigars and presented them to Joe Cronin of Boston as an ironic gift for Cronin's anti-Chand- Ter vote.

Austin Bows

 we have a lot to go through Austin replied. And maybe we will have to bow our heads a bit. It reminds me of a line of Cotton Mather's. He and Ben Franklin were good friends-though in their ideas they were as far apart as the poles.
 Well" continued Ambassador Austin, "once the two were passing through a passage somewhere-a low -beamed place. Franklin bump- ed his head on a beam. Mather turned around and said to him, Franklin, if you will learn to- low z CT your head when necessary you will spare yourself many bunlnh'
 Austin told the anecdote as Ia symbol of what he thinks may be the necessary policy of the United States today.
