THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, NOV. 23, 1934. $905,000 WOULD ‘New Deal’ Popularity Leaves T CLEAR UP Die-Hard Democrats on Spot PROVIDE ALASKA LANDING FIELDS Estimates and List of Ten-| tative Fields Needed | Prepared by ARC. | For the comparatively low cost of | $905,000 Alaska could be supplied with airplane landing fields in practically every lcation needed by air transportation lines, which would cover the Territory over five main routes and twenty-five branch routes, according to estimates and figures prepared through the co- operation of the Alaska Road Com- mission for Murray Hall, Aeronau- tics Inspector for Alaska for the United States Department of Com- merce. Together with the estimated cost, a long list of needed airfields in the Territory, both emergency and Class “A” has been prepared for Capt. Hall and was forwarded to hit this week by Hawley W. Sterl- ing, Assistant Chief Engineer for the Alaska Road Commission. | Total of 119 Fields This list, to be used as a ten- tative program, contains a total of 119 fields, including 70 fields now existing. Of the new ones pro- posed, 42 should be built as emer- gency fields, while seven are recom- mended as Class “A” fields, and 13 fields now existing should be im-! proved to the Class “A” standard,| according to the“proposed program.| If carried out, this program'’ would involve an expenditure of; approximately $905,000, for con- struction of new fields and im- provement of old ones, the esti- mates made by Mr. Sterling reveal. New Class “A” fields are sug- gested for Talkeetna, Boundary, Il- liamna, Dillingham, Skwentna, South Fork and Bethel. Alaska has been divided - into five main air routes on this pro- gram, with 25 branch routes off the various main lines. This would provide a total mileage on the/ routes of 6,295 miles without dup-| lication, Mr. Sterling declared. The five main routes svggested are: (1) Ketchikan, #airbanks, Nome; (2) Boundary, Anchorage, Flat, Nome; (3) Fuirbanks, McGrath,! Bethel; (4) Cordova, Valdez, Fair- banks; (5) Seward, Anchorage to! Fairbanks, with the 25 branch routes connecting these up with| every district off the main lines. i “For the comparatively moderate cost of $905,000, Alaska would be well supplied with landing fields over air travel routes which would practically cover the Territory,” Mr. Sterling declared. In preparing the estimates, air routes and lists of needed fields, Mr. Sterling drew on his extensive knowledge of the Territory and of the important travel routes and took into consideration the recom- mendations made by Col. H. H. Arnold, commander of the Army's Alaska Expedition during the last summer and others who have stud- jed the Territory’s aviation needs. e, Safety Suit for Fliers Tried by Paris Woman PARIS, Nov. 23.—A non-inflam- mable and bouyant suit for avia- tors is the invention of Mille.

If anything, the dissenters with- in the ranks of the party are worse off than the remaining old line Republicans. At least the latter can squeak out when they choose and, if able to unite on a plan of attack, can proceed in closed file even if it be a thinned one. Not so with the Democratic old | guard.

There are not many such as Senator Glass of Virginia who says what he pleases without regard to political conse- quences. They have nowhere to turn ex- cept to Republican dissenters, and political traditions held dear, ren- der, that suggestion absurd.

He is aware, too, that should the pen- | dulum swing too far back it is | conceivable Congress could become a shambles of conflicting political factions. ROOSEVELT ON ALERT The answer seems to be that he will continue to pursue the same! tactics in the future as he has in | the past.
