'$8OO,OOO Survey of
 Alaska Road Needs Is Before Congress

I WA5f1llN1xIU HUN Lhf --- AJaSkd IS
 in urgent need of comprehensive
 highway planning and construc-
 ton program, spokesmen for the
 State told a Senate Public Works
 Subcommittee Monday.
 1 The committee heard testimony on resolution by Sen. Ernest Gruening which would authorize $e00,000 for Commerce Depart
 ment survey of Alaska highway needs.
 Gruening said Alaska was left
 out of federal highway programs for many years and "this long awaited first step" is extremely important to the new State. Have No Road System Tn Alaska, five of the seven largest cities, including Juneau. the capital, have no road system which leads to any other place" and 'sthe majority of Alaska's communities are not connected with any others by highway or railroad" Gruening testified. The resolution was endorsed by Sen. E. l.. Bartlett; Rep. Ralph Rivers; Clarence Martin Jr., Un- dersecretary of Commerce for Transportation; Gov. Wm. Egan in statement presented by Hugh Wade, Secretary of State, and Richard Downing, Alaska Com missioner of Public Works.
 Martin told the committee the
 resolution has full administra- ton backing right up to the top" and that it would provide "a significant beginning for the de- ve1opment of Alaska" ,"
 The Commerce Department, he said, could start work on the sur- vey immediately if funds were available. Alaska today has no need which is as crucial or as restrictive on the development of it's economy as the lack of roads : Governors Views
 Regarding the governors views, Wade said it was not his purpose to scome here and cry poor mouth We do not want nor do we ask for special treatment. But we do want to be placed on an equitable basis with our sister states
 He said the federal aid high way program was started in 1916 but that 1t was not until 1856, and on a restricted basis that Alaska first shared in it's benefits.
 However, both he and Gruen- ing pointed out during that period Alaskans were subject to all taxes imposed to finance the program.
 He said the state has appropri- ated large sums for road and marine highway programs and will continue to do so .sbut," Wade added, i've need some help if we are to overcome the handicaps im- posed in past years"
 Downing outlined Alaska's needs with figures that put the estimated cost of building and maintaining an adequate highway system for Alaska during the next IS years at $1.7 billion.

Como Has Now Grandchild
 SOUTH BEND, Ind. M - P


 SOUTH BEND, Ind. A Perry Como has new grandchild -his first--to sing about.
 The singer left for an engage ynent in Miami Monday after 2 weekend visit with his 6-pound granddaughter, Melanie Roselee Como, born Saturday. The birth escaped notice because the mother registered in St. Joseph's Hospi- tall under her maiden name, Mel- anie Adams.
 Ronald Como, the baby's father, was back in class at the University of Notre Dame.
 The mother was Miss Elkhart of 1861. She and Como were mar ried last Aug. II on the Notre Dame campus.

Asironaut Glenn Fills US. Need for 40- Year-Old Hero
By Hal Boyle

country has what it long needed "a good middle-aged hero.
 Astronaut~ John H. Glenn Jr fills the bill perfectly.
 By orbiting the earth three times last week he did more than merely lift Americas scientific prestige in the eyes of the rest of the globe.
 He made every midd1e-aged man in the nation stand half a head taller-and feel like there was place in the world for him after all.
 Yes sir, It Col. Glenn of the US. Marines made middle age downright respectable in the land which for too long has placed too much emphasis on the value of being young.
 John Glenn has been dry behind the ears for some time now. He is 40, has acquired few wrinkles, and shows considerable scalp. Men Over 40 Rejected
 If two weeks ago he had sought new job, many firms would have automatically rejected him because of his age. Many have a policy against hiring new men 40 or over. Such men are regarded as "too old.''
 Too old? At 40 John Glenn, who still conditions himself by running two miles a day, made the greatest leap into space of any American in history. He gave us all badly needed lesson = that the judgment and skill which come with maturity are at least as important as the blind self confidence and raw courage that go with youth.
 Traditionally, from Alexander the Great to Romeo, we have tended to expect our heroes in both war and love to be young men. At least those who win re- nown by individual feats in action.
 Even Thomas tStonewalD Jack son, one of the most admired lead- CTS of the Civil War, was dead at 39.
 Sgt. Alvin York. the most pulp licized hero of the first World War, was a young man. Tn the second World War, Audie Murphy had won about every combat medal in the books before he was old enough to vote.
 Accent on Youth
 Perhaps because we still think of ourselves as young people, the accent on youth has been al- most as pronounced in peace as in war in this country. He have blindly venerated the young at the expense of the middle~aged and the elderly.
 Thus parents come to stand in awe of their own children, and many of us begin to think that growing old $ the worst of all diseasesif not positive crime.
 We cling desperately. and often ridiculousIy, to youth as though 1t were salvation in itself--and all beyond it darkness. And the rest of the world sensibly laughs at us for this national obsession.
 At 40, Glenn did more than prove himself. He opened a new vista of hope to millions of time fearful men and women by show ing them that achievement and heroism are not the property of. youth, but are available at any age.
 From now on any teen-ager who doesn't show proper respect to our years and gray hairs is likely to get himself popped.
 For in all us middle-aged there IS hero trying to get out--if he can only find the way.
