Tony Schwamm
SAYS Alaska Needs
Aviation School

Tony SchWamm, Territorial Di-
rector Of Aviation, was a guest Of
the Chamber Of Commerce Tues
day noon, giving an interesting
and revealing talk on the devel-
opments Of aviation in Alaska.
He declared that it was esti-
mated that 20 per cent Of the in
come in Alaska is dependent in
some way, more or less, directly
with aviation, with new fields
needed in more places every year.
God made Alaska for air
planes" he said. "They can land
anywhere in this vast territory
where roads are impossible"
"When you talk about aviation
it means CAA, Weather Bureau,
taxi cabs and buses, freight hand
lers and other branches of bust
ness, too many to itemize, but all
part Of the development Of avia-
ton"
He explained that the money
for building fields is derived from
a cent aviation gas tax and that
100000 has been spent in the
Second Division with completed
fields at Kotzebue, Teller, Solo
mon, Elm, GoIovin, Koyuk and
Shaktoolik. Under construction or
being engineered are fields at
Mountain Village, Stebbins, ST..
Michael, Selawik, Quartz Creek.
Before the season is over the de-
partment hopes to complete Kiva-
lima, Kobuk, Shungnak, Lost Riv-
er, Gambell, Hooper Bay and
Kiana.
Steel mating from the Navy field
at PIT. Barrow has already been
moved to the village for a com
mercial field there.
Looking ahead, Schwamm sug-
gested that civic bodies should
start planning a school Of aviation
within the territory as more pilots
and more mechanics are needed
every year to carry on the devel-
opment. 1t is necessary for stu
dents at the present time to take

RADIO ADDRESS
delivered by the
Hon. Henry E. Rohlsen
concluded from yesterday

At the ground : breaking
ceremonies of the Frederik-
sted Clinic, Miss Nesbitt had
already contributed her many
years of faithful and valuable
service to the community OF
Frederiksted. However, there
was no mention at those
ceremonies Of the intentions
of the Governor or anyone
else to honor this faithful en-
ployee, by proposing that the
Clinic be named in her honor
as was done in other cases.
If we are to consider that
the motives behind the NAM
ing Of the Clinic are primarily
political rather than a sincere
effort on the part Of the Ad-
ministration to honor a we'll
deserving municipal employe,
for years of service, it IS first
necessary to examine the facts
and the circumstances which
prompted this proposal made
by the Governor at the open
ing ceremonies of the Ferder-
iksted Clinic.
You will recall at the open
ing ceremonies of the Freder-
iksted Clinic the Honorable
Axel Schade voiced the dissat-
isfaction on the minds of the
majority of the people Of Fred
eriksted concerning the mad
equacies Of the Frederiksted
Clinic. This criticism was de-
livered in the presence of the
Assistant Secreatry of the
Interior. The remarks of the
Honorable Axel Schade were
of such surprise and political
magnitude that it was neces-
sary for the other speakers to

or Of someone the people Of
Frederiksted love, admire and
respect, would naturally,
cause the criticism against the
Clinic to disappear or be re-
duced considerably, for criti-
Ching the Clinic would then
have the same psychological
effect as critizing the person
in whose honor it would be
named.
Further, to take care of the
major criticism voiced by the
people of Frederiksted, that
that they are in need of a
Hospital instead of a clinic,
the Governor attempts to fur
Their appease and soothe these
