Federal Agency
 To Eschew Control Of Alaska Airports

WASHINGTON, R U Alaskans received reaffirmation yesterday of Administration determination to transfer government-owned air ports at Anchorage and Fairbanks to the new state.
 The restatement of Administra- tion position came at meeting attended by James T. Pyle, deputy administrator of the Federal Avia- ton Agency, Robert Atwood, An chorage publisher; Ray Peterson of Anchorage, and Ed Rusing of Fairbanks, each representative of his city's Chamber of Com merce aviation committee; and Sen. Bob Bartlett.
 Bartlett said the meeting re- suited in reiteration of Admins tration opposition to any plan for the governments retaining control of the two airports.
 This position was set forth in a letter from E. R. Quesada, F.A.A. administrator.
 Quesada cited the Presidents statement that programs, which in other states are the responsibility of state and local governments or of private enterprise, should not be carried on in Alaska by the federal government.
 QueSada said that between the Alaska omnibus bill, which pro- vides financial grants for Alaska, the legislation extending the fed eral aid airport program it ap- pears that sufficient federal funds will be made available to the state to prepare these airports for jet operations.
 On the basis of this firm plan ning", he continued, mo request for funds is being made of Con- gress for our agency's continued operation of the airports.'
 Furthermore, if directly oper- ated by the federal government, the revenues of something over one million dollars could not be used for operational expense of capital improvements but would be deposited into the United States Treasury" he said.
 with revenues at these airports exceeding operational costs, and the forecast increased volume of activity and greater revenues" he said, "the non-federal financing of these facilities could not conceiv- ably be a problem
 Quesada also rejected conten- tions that the two Alaska airports might be considered federal re- responsibilities on grounds they are operated primarily as intermediate stops on international air routes.

Federal Airport Program Seeks Bids on 2 Projects

ANCHORAGE-Bids are being invited by the Department of Avi- ation for the construction of air ports at Hooper Bay and Shish- maref. These two airports are being constructed under the Fed eral Aid Airport Program. The work is scheduled for the con- struction season of 1859.
 The project proposed for Hoop CT Bay consists of the construction of a 4,000-foot landing strip and parking area together with 5000 feet of access roadway connect ing the village with the airport site. The site is located on sand dunes parallel to the Boring Sea coast. The airport will be stabi- lized with an emuIsified asphalt surface. Quantities of work in- volved include 42,00O cubic yards of excavation and embankment, 62,000 square yards of 3-inch sur face stabilization, 62,O0O square yards of 6-inch stabilized surfac- ing, and 314,0O0 gallons of emul- sified asphalt.
 As an alternate, in lieu of sur face stabilization of the central 100 feet of the runway, bidders are invited to submit quotations for a select borrow surface. The gra- vel material for this is to be inn ported from Cape Romanzof, 10 miles north of the site. Under the alternate, the quantities of work would involve 35,7OO cubic yards of excavation and embankment, 15,700 square yards of 3-inch sur face stabilization, 15,7O0 gallons of emulsified asphalt, and 27,70O cubic yards of select borrow.
 Contract time of 15O calendar days is called for in the bid schedule,
 The project at Shishmaref con- sists of the construction of 2,200 feet of runway. Construction of this bush type facility will be nearly identical to the proposal for Hooper Bay. The quantities include 14,7O0 cubic yards of ex- cavation and embankment, 19,0O0 square yards of 3-inch surface stabilization, 18,400 square yards of 6-inch stabilized surfacing, and 92,7OO gallons of emulsified as phalt.
 The contract time of 120 calen- dar days is called for in the bid schedule with the work to be con- pleted in the summer construc- ton season of 1859.
 Hooper Bay is located 75 miles northwest of Bethel on the Der ing Sea Coast.
 Shishmaref is located north of Nome on the Seward Peninsula.
 The bid opening for both of the projects is scheduled for 2 pm. on May Is, 1859, in the offices of the Department of Aviation, Glow CT Building, Anchorage. Specifi- cations and plans are available from the offices in the Glover Building, and can be viewed in addition to that office at Alaska General Contractors in Anchor age and Seattle, states Eugene C.. Roguszka, Director of Aeronau- tics, Department of Aviation.

Kurt Electric Company in California did
not send one of their Christmas cards
by mail. 1t was large enough to screen
a $1,000 Rolls Royce limouSine-deliv-
cred to the driveway of their stunned"
ex-employer, Mr.. Kurt G. Appert.
All Mr.. Appert did to deserve this
"early mailing" of a gift for man "who
has everything" was to distribute SIS
million worth of stock to $50 former
associates and employees. Mr.. Appert
came by the stock, in General Telephone
and Electronics Company, when the lat
ter concern bought his ownership in
Lenkurt. He said he spent several weeks
"juSt thinking" about how to reward the
good people" who had helped build his
company up to a $50 million business.
When he decided to cut them in on the
proceeds, he created pleasant-sounding
problem for them-of displaying recip-

The Second Career

The appointment of DR.. James Watt
as special assistant to Health, Educa-
tion and Welfare Secretary Flemming on
problems of the aged is further recog-
milton of the need for more definitive
attention to the rapidly expanding elder
segment OF our population. Through his
research work as director of the Ma
tional Heart Institute, DR.. Watt already
has an intimate familiarity with one
aspect of the problem, and this should be
of great value in planning the White
House Conference on Aging, to be held
here in January, 1861.
Health, however, is no more than
one aspect. AS DR.. Watt sees it, society
today is concerned too exclusively with
only two stages of human existence
the youthful period of education and
training, and the working years of a
"f1rst career" present-day life ex-
pectancy of 10 years, and every prospect
that this will increase steadily, DR.. Watt
believes, is making consideration of a
more positive second career" not only
possible, but essential. A clearer under
standing Of the physical, economic and
social forms of this second career" is
what must be sought in the period ahead.
