LI S S S EXPANSION OF ALASKA RADIO 1S REQUESTED Congress Is Told Develop-‘ ment of North Burdens Signal Corps WASHINGTON, May 10.—Increas- ed military activities and expanding | commercial development in Alaska | have placed a heavy burden on the | Government's communications sys- | tems, Congress was told today by {Col. Clyde E. Eastman, Executive Officer of the Army Signal Corps. Col. Eastman was present at hear- ings of the House Appropriations Bub-committee in connection with the War Department's civil func- tions supply bill. “Traffic has shown a steady growth over the past three years ‘and even more business is in pros- |pect,” Col. Eastman said, adding, | “Fishing, mining, and agriculture have all contributed to Alaska’s growth and the increase in gold and platinum activities has been striking. | “It is also of increased importance that the expansion of aviation de- velopments and defense in the Ter- ritory be taken into consideration. Such growth in these two phases alone require the Signal Corps Sys tem as the backbone.” Col. Eastman said the establish- ment of air routes under the control of the Civil Aeronautics Authority would soon place a heavy burden on | the system which cannot be relieved until the Authority has established its own radio stations.
