veyed land is available for these purposes. Under the terms of Delegate Bartlett's bill, such tracts could be leased and thus used before survey is made. The Bureau of Land Management would be permitted to classify and make available for such small tracts unsurveyed land. In ad- dition, more persons and groups of people would become eligible under the Small Tract Act.
 Other Alaska Legislation
 Two measures affecting Alaska have been introduced in the House recently, one having to do with possessory land claims in Alaska and the other spelling out construction program for the Alaska Communication System.
 The first bill, sponsored by Con- gressman D'Ewart provides for suits in the Court of Claims by any Eskimo, Indian or Aleut clan, village, community group in Al aska or any individual native or any other person who claims lands in the Territory under color of possessory rights. If determina- tion is made by the court that the claimant has a valid claim to land, provision is made in the bill for land grants or money settle ment.
 Congressman Short, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, introduced the sec ond bill which authorizes the ap- propriation of $4,517000 for AL aska Communication System facil- ities, including among others: Pal mer-Tok Junction, $115,OOO; Sheep Mountain, $189,000 and An chorage, $698,000.

Alaska Statehood

Following his return from the recent meeting of the Alaska Statehood Committee in Juneau where the committee met with members of the legislature, Dele gate Bartlett drafted for introduc- ton on February 6 an Alaska statehood bill which would grant 43,350,000 acres of land and pro- vide an appropriation authoriza- ton of $50 million to the new state.
 The land provisions of Delegate Bartlett's measure increase by 20,- 100000 acres the land grants con- ] tained in the Senate statehood version introduced on January 2 by IA Democratic Senators and Senator Morse of Oregon, Inde- I pendent.
 The $50 million authorization request would be used by the state for state surveys of land granted to Alaska by the enabling act, construction and improvement of roads and harbors, and construc- tion of state mental, charitable, penal and reformatory institu- tions.
 Alaska Public Works Act
 The Alaska Public Works Act would have four years added to its life through the terms of a bill scheduled to be introduced this week by Delegate Bartlett.
 The measure, passed in 1949 and authorizing a $7O million public works program for the Ter ritory, is due to expire on June 30, 1855. Delegate Bartlett's bill would extend that time until June 30, 1859.
 Through the 1853 fiscal year, Congress appropriated $29,2O8,2OO for the program leaving a bal ance of $40,791 800 to be sought to complete the $70 million auth orized program scheduled now to die in 212 years unless Delegate Bartlett's bill is enacted. Presi- dent Truman early in January submitted a $15 million request for the 1854 fiscal year, subject to revision by the new administra- ton.
 Of the $29,2o8,2OO so far appro- priated, $5,283,396 have gone for water projects, $2,754,924 for sew CT projects, $3,747,959 for streets, SIP, 2,436,515 for schools, $3,49O,27O for other buildings, $208,35O for utilities, $22,l00 for electric pro- ject, $135,000 for hospitals or health facilities, and $1,l29,686 for expenses of the program.
