INTERIOR DEPARTMENT COMPLETES FIRST PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT IN ALASKA

Secretary of the Interior Oscar l.. Chapman June l announced com pletion of the first public works project in Alaska since the pro- gram was initiated under Public Law 264, 8lst Congress. This pro- gram was transferred to the De- partment of the Interior from Gen eral Services Administration on May "A, 1850.
 The completed construction, in the current $9,000,000 Alaskan pro- gram for which funds have been approved by the Congress, includes streets in Juneau. A deed has been executed transferring the Govern ment'S right, title and interest in the project to the city of Juneau which will pay one-half of the total cost of S23,5 in accordance with proviSo of the Alaska Public Works Act
 A total of l4 projects is now be- ing constructed in Alaska under the Public Works Program. Architec- tural or engineering plans are in preparation for 15 additional pro- jects, Secretary Chapman said.
 Allotments for the work under construction total $4,036,600 These projects include a city library at Juneau, schools at Fairbanks, Nak nek, Chugiak, Ninilchik, Peters burg and Anchorage, an addition to the Eielson building at the Univer- sity of Alaska, equipment repair and storage buildings at Anchorage, sewers and streets in Ketchikan, sewers and watermains in Skagway and Douglas, streets in Anchorage,

CITY RECEIVES BOOST IN NEW GUIDE TO ALASKA

Seward, especially the Mt. Marathon Race, received a big boost in the 1851 edition of the Guide to Alaska, just off the press. Every advertisement from Seward carries the added line: Mt Marathon Race-In all the world, no race like this, Sew ard, Alaska, July 4th.''
 Lou Jacobin gave 12 pages to Seward this year, beginning with new photograph of Marathon.

and sewers for new housing area in Fairbanks.
 Construction of five-story rein forced concrete Territorial Office Building in Juneau, for which a $l,058,390 contract has just been awarded, will start in the near fu- ture.
 Estimated costs total 3,366, ,95O for the Is projects for which arch1- lecture or engineering plans are in preparation These projects will in- clude schools at Wrangell, Dilling- ham and Homer, additional utilities including steam and electric gen. erating units and distribution lines at the University of Alaska, coal handling facilities at the Fairbanks Municipal power plant and i'm provement of certain streets in Ketchikan.
 Also included in the above 15 projects will be construction of eX- tensions and improvements to the existing sewerage system and ad- ditions and improvements to the municipal water system at Anchor age; water supply development and a distribution system at Fairbanks; water system additions and inn provements at Cordova; improve ment of the water sytsems at Hoo- nah, Petersburg and Seldovia; a new sewerage system and water supply improvements at Haines; and sewerage and water supply eX- tensions and improvements at Kodiak to serve the site of new 400 unit housing addition.
 The law providing for the Alaska Public Works program authorized the expenditure of S70,000,000 over a period of five years starting in fiscal year 1850. Under it, the De- partment of the Interior is author ized to accept applications for con- struction of public and community facilities to be sold to the public body applicants on completion. The law requires that the sale return to the Federal Government approXi- mately 50 per cent of the total cost of the program.
 Secretary Chapman declared that the Department of the Interior has every hope of accomplishing what the Congress has provided for, namely. to bring to the present population of Alaska additional educational cultural and health fla cilties, to assist in improving the environment for satisfactory living, and through these to stimulate the growth of the population of the territory. Population increase IS de sirable in Alaska, he said, not only from an economic standpoint but for security and defense reasons.

Aviu+ion Safety Discussions
D. M. Gretzer
MISPLACED PILOTS
for The Office of Aviation Safety


 Twice, this season, there have been major searching operations for the man who wasn't there. One pilot became lost on forty mile flight, He was finally found walk ing "home" a hundred and eighty miles from his starting point, and ninety degrees off course. His air plane had no radio.
 The other pilot was forced off course by the weather. His airplane ran out of gas about sixty miles from his destination, and about forty-five miles off course. His air plane had a two-way radio. SEARCHING
 It was known to the searching parties that the airplane had two way radio, but no transmission had been heard during his flight This cauSed a concentration of searching within the mountain areas; because naturally his failure to use his radio indicated a sudden accident with no chance to use it, or else he was in the mountains when he tried to put out an emergency call, and his signals were blocked by the hills.
 WHY RADIO
 Actually the pilot never even tried to use his transmitter during the flight. About the last five or ten minutes in the air, he flew around looking for a handy spot for running out of gas.
 Even then he didn't think of call ing out his tale of woe. He was so close to a CAA radio station, he would have blasted the communi- cator right out of his sequences if he had said few brief words.
 A week of futile searching was called off when the pilot and his passengers made their way to a camp, and then to town.
 SUGGESTIONS
 l. The pilot should stay on the flight plan route unless able to let others know of the change of course.
 ?. It is cheaper for the pilot, and far cheaper for his searchers, if he turns back in bad weather instead of pushing through it, or detouring
Seward seaport record., 1951-06-05

from known plans.
 B. The pilot should make full use of two-way radio by making fre- quent position and progress reports.

Here We Go Again! Carpenters Ask S3.7o, Double for Overtime

New wage demands presented last week by representatives of Alaskan carpenters and culinary workers boded i'll for 1852 dollar values.
 The carpenters are asking for $3.70 an hour with double time for overtime 10 apply to all parts of the Territory. Present rates are S2.60 for Southeastern Alaska and S3l4 for the rest of the Ter ritory. Better living conditions in work camps are also asked: no more than four men to a tent and free room and board. If these are not provided, the carpenters at torncy, James Swan, stated, the union will insist that the workers be conmenSurateiy compensated in cash.
 The culinary workers are not making public their wage de- mandS although they nave re- quested 8 change in overtime pay which is construed by the the Wage Stabilization Board as tan tamount to wage increase. They want time and a half for any work day running over eight hours and double time if it runs over 10 hours. At present the wage scale of culinary workers ranges from $l.60 to $2,35 an hour.
 The Associated General Con tractors, of whom demands were made, was given until next Mon day to reply to the proposals re- specting wages and working con- ditions for the 1852 construction season.

ARR Cuts k Minutes From Fairbanks Run

The new Alaska Railroad schedules which went into effec, last week to cut s5 minutes off the Anchorage Fairbanks run will make no difference in train time for northbound passengers en. training at Matanuska or Wasilla but the southbound train arrives al these points considerably earl fer than formerly
 Local patrons returning from trips 10 Fairbanks or Mckinley Park now arrive at Wasilla st 6:32 D. m. The train checks in at Matanuska at 6:53 p. m. The northbound schedule of $50 am. into Matanuska and l0:l3 a m. into Wasilla is the same as for merly. Most of the speed-up is effected between Wasilla and Fairbanks
 In announcing the 45 minute cut between Anchorage and Fair banks, Col. !. F. Johnson, general manager of the railroad observed: This is the second major reduc- ton in train times within a year and represents cut of two hours on the northbound run and two hours and Is minutes on the southbound trip since streamliner service was inaugurated Octob 9r Is, 1947."
 Under the new schedule, tra- veler leaving Anchorage at 8:3G d. m. will arrive in Fairbanks that night at 8:30 p. m. On the return trip out of Fairbanks, the Aurora makes the 356 mile trip in II hours and 45 minutes, arriving Tn Anchorage at 6:15 p. m. North bound trips are made Mondays. Wednesdays, and Fridays; south bound trips are made Tuesdays Thursdays, and Saturdays.
 Faster service is an integral part of the general overall plan ming under the ARR rehabilitation program. Since it was started Tn 1e47, the program has resulted in streamlined trains, through freights, modern shop buildings and work equipment, and other large scale revisions in the rail- road,
