TRIAN6ulATI0N WORK
ON ALASKA RAILROAD
IS NOW COMPLETED

Triangulation work by the, Topo-
graphic Division of the Geological
Survey, Denver office, has just
been completed on the Alaska Rail
road between Fairbanks and Palmer.
The last two men, Joel Langhofer
and R. G. Foley, leave this after
noon for the home office.
Langhofer was project engineer
with two helicopter parties working
under him for the summer. One
crew had eight men with nine In
the other. With the use of hell
copters the work progressed faster
than through the use entirely OF
ground parties because good wea-
ther could more readily be taken
advantage of and less time was
spent on climbing to triangulation
points.
Last year, triangulation work was
completed with the use of helicop-
tiers in the Gambler Bay, Ketchi-
kan, Glacier Bay and Skagway
areas. This winter. Langhofer Will
take six parties for work OF the
same nature out of Silver City.

Action on Statehood Bill Is
Postponed Until November;
Chapman Is in Agreement

O'Mahoney D-Wyo), Chairman of
the Senate Insular Affairs Commit
tee, that he thought it would be "a
very good thing" to bring the state
hood measures up after the Novem-
Der election and thereby remove
them from any election atmo-
sphere"
Newsmen were present during his
conversation with O'Mahoney.
Senate Majority Leader Lucas ID
lid announced yesterday tenta-
tive plan for Congress to quit work
the end of this week until Nov. 20.
An effort will be made, he said,
to make the Alaska statehood bill
the unfinished business" giving it
degree of priority over other legis-
lation now before the Senate when
Congress reconvenes. The Hawaii
bill would be next.
In any event, Lucas said, the
statehood bills would be the first
order of business before the Senate
in November.
O,Mahoney said he agreed not to
press for action on the statehood
bills now, if Congressional leaders
decide to bring Congress back in
November.

May Be Chairman
Rented is expected to become
board chairman. The CAB is the
independent Federal agency that
sets up aviation rules and passes
judgment on compliance with them.
Governor Gruening. who sat in
on the committee session, declared

more to throttle the development

what they called the boards long
delays in acting on applications

Prejudice Cited
Senators Magnuson D-Wash)

The Texas Senator accused some
members of the board as being PRE-

that at least some members of this
committee don't like their CABS.

ing of cases, and expect them to
keep this a land Of opportunity"
Rented replied that he had an
"open mind on the subject" and
added he believed the non-sched-
ule airlines and irregular carriers
who have pioneered in a new field
have contributed to aviation"
He also said he considered the
system of feeder lines important
and expressed doubt that the pre-
sent system is satisfactory.

Merry Go Round

BY DREW PEARSON

W ASHINGTON - Congressional
memories sometimes are very short.
1t was only last year that the
Senate refused to confirm Carl IL
genfritz as chairman of the NUM-
tions board because he declined to
give up his $4,000 salary from the
U. S. Steel Corporation.
However, just about the same
thing is now happening with two
other high officials and nothing is
being said about it, They are
/. E. G. Plowman, another U s..
Steel executive, who gets $4,000
a year from his company while
working for Uncle Sam as director
of the Defense Departments mill
tary traffic service.
2. william H. Harrison, who has
just assumed charge of war controls
in the Commerce Department while
still drawing his salary from In
ternational Telephone and Tele-
graph.
The excuse given for permitting
men to draw a salary from private
industry while working for the gov
eminent is that it is hard to get
good men to serve the government
without doing so. This is true in
peacetime. But in wartime. when
thousands of GI.'s not only have to
give up their jobs but their lives, it
would seem that enough patriotic
businessmen would be willing to
work for a government stipend OF
$4,000 to $4,000 a year.
