New Bill Would Moke federal Surplus
 AvciiubIe to Territory

Representative John Saylor, Pennsylvania Republican, has in- troduced a bill to authorize the transfer of surplus federal pro- perty to the Territory of Alaska without cost. Governor Heintzle- man worked with Department of Interior officials and Congress man Saylor on drafting the bill earlier this year.
 The bill would make available to the Territory, all federal pro- perty in Alaska that has or may be designated as surplus by fed eral agencies. The term property, as defined in the bill, includes all real and personal federal property with the exception of the public domain, certain naval vessels, and federal records. Gov. Heintzleman said he be- lieves the bill may be extremely helpful in securing equipment for such agencies as the highway en- gineer, the department of civil defense, the national guard, and other branches of the territorial government.
 Under the terms of the bill the territory could acquire without cost such property as the Juneau support, the buildings and equip ment used for oil exploration in 1 the Arctic. and other items which
