Funds for Library.
The Free Public Library won
$43,0 for completion of the re-
modelling of the Central Library
Building but money for the pur-
chase of a second bookmobile
was turned down. Also, the con-
ferees limited the fund for OPP
Grafton of the system to 81 1885,
600. This is the House figure
$27 900 below that of the Senate.
For the Recreation Depart
ment, the conference group rec
commended the more liberal Sen
ate proposal for $1.589,650. For
improvements to grounds and
structures they recommended
5000, 000-double the House fig
ure but 100000 short of the
Senate proposal.
The Health Department won
a compromise of $2,900,000 as
against a House grant of ST.
843 900 and a move by the Sem
ate to raise it to $4,000 Gal
linger Hospital would get S.

recommended.
Compromise on Welfare.
Compromise figures also are
recommended for public welfare

for operation of protective in
situations, $3,465 900. The con-
ference group held and bill for
general administration of well

SOFIA.
The conferees are recommend
ing $7,706,000 for capital outlay
by the street and bridge division.
This carries approval of the &C
ton by the Senate in knocking
out 100000 for the drafting of
plans for a new bridge over the
Potomac River.
Left in the bill was the SEN
ate language prohibiting the use
of any of the granted funds for
drafting plans for a new span
which would be Inconsistent
with the general plan for devel-
opment of the Theodore Roose-
Yelt Memorial Island"
Action Held Over.
The commissioners are re-
questing authorization to build
the span over Roosevelt Island,
hut action on this is being held
over to the next session of Con-
gress, District Committee leaders
say.
Also left in was the Senate
prohibition against elimination
of railway tracks from Kenil-
worth avenue NE, now used to
carry coal to the Benning Power
plant of the Potomac Electric
Power Co.
The Commissioners have
planned to remove Capital
Transit Co. tracks crossing Ken
iiWorth avenue at Dean avenue
when it is widened into a major
artery connecting with the Bal
timore and Annapolis parkways.
Proposed legislation to allow
Pepco to build an overpass over
Kenilworth avenue, however, has
been blocked in the Senate on
protests that it would ruin the
East Washington Railroad,
which transfers coal from main
line railroads to Capital Transit
cars for the haul into the Ben
! ming plant.

 This is the background on the two items: President Truman's budget submitted to the Con gress prior to change of admin istration on January 20 included $2,400,000 for the continuation of the Copper River Highway joining Cordova with the Rich ardson Highway and $13,592, ,000 for dock facilities at Seward and rehabilitation of the Seward Portage section of The Alaska Railroad. The revised budget submitted by the new admins tration eliminated these funds entirely.

Delegate Bartlett has urged complete restoration of funds originally sought in the Truman budget for rehabilitation of the Seward-Portage section of The Alaska Railroad and for full scale continuation of the Copper River Highway as immediate steps which should and can be taken to assist in the transpor- tation problems resulting from the recent fire at the military port of Whittier.
 In addition. in representation made to Secretary of the Inter- for Mckay and Secretary of Defense Wilson. Delegate Bart lett called for d thorough inves- tigation as to advisabilitY of re- building Whittier as contrasted with developing other ports of entry in the Territory. Whittier facilities should not be rebuilt" he stated. pending a thorough reexamination of the advantages and disadvantages of such ac- lion. In the past there has been m Hilary testimony that an enemy strike at the tunnels leading from Whittier might re- sult in crippling blow at any US. military effort in Alaska. The fire now raging demon strates that the peculiar geo. graphic situation al Whittier will always cause t 10 be vulner- able" even in peacetime.
 In conversations held with Defense Department officials, Delegate Bartlett was informed that military cargo shipments via Valdez, Anchorage and Sew ard would be largely increased with substantial additions in tonnage to the Interior by way of the Richardson Highway. An ticipatcd appropriations for the maintenance of roads in Alaska for the next fiscal year have assured winter maintenance of this highway. These past in veStments in appropriations for the Richardson Highway" Dele gate Bartlett declared. twill now pay off in big way since Valdez is a natural port of entry to Interior Alaska points" It is expected, according to military officials, that cargo destined for the Interior will be segregated at Seattle rather than at Whit tier and that freight for air force bases adjacent to Fair banks will be channelled to greater extent over the highway.

Extension Asked on Dafe
To Take Over Burke Land

The Government today asked
for a four and a half-month eX-
tension in the date it is supposed
to take possession of the Burke
airport site.
The Government made its re-
quest in a motion filed in Fed
eral District Court in Alexandria
The motion asked for an extern
sion from May to September Is.
Government attorneys said
they were asking for the extern
sion because of the uncertain
future of the airport project.
A spokesman for the Civil
Aeronautics Administration said
there was no use in dispossessing
the residents of the airport site
by May as long as the project
is stalled by lack of funds.
There are 4,520 acres in the
site. So far the Government has
taken possession of 1,045 acres.
Funds for further acquisition
have been cut from the new
budget.
