Col. James A. Tulley, of the Corps of Engineers, serving with the General Staff of the U. S. Army. Lt. Col. Tulley submitted a statement signed by Secretary of War Stimson that the War De- partment recommends enactment of HR. 3095 as submitted. Others testifying at the hearing were Halvor L. Halvorsen, of Minot, N. D, President of the United States, Canada, and Alaska Prairie Route Highway Association. Mr. Halvorsen stated that the proposed Prairie Route saved 1,200 miles from Chicago to Fairbanks, exclu- sive of switchbacks and detours. The industries of the Pacific Coast, said Mr. Halvorsen, excel in ships, bombers; planes, none of which need highway facilities, while the central and eastern portions of the States contain all the great indus- trial factories, and most of our munition, tank, and anti-aircraft works. In addition to which, the Prairie Route could not possibly be bombed, or if bombed, could be by-passed on the prairie. Mr. Hal- vorsen said that his organization, which had the endorsement of the Governors of North Dakota, Minne- sota and Montana, recommended the bill if such “catch-phrases” were stricken out as “through the northwestern part of Canada.” Donald McDonald testimony to differ with some cri- ' would involve a departure, from resumed his| | ticismm of the weather on “Route A" offered by Mr. Halvorsen. Mr. McDonald pointed out that the maximum snowfall was ten to thirteen inches all along the route. He pointed out that Lloyds con- | siders Alaska shipping a bad risk. | He reminded the committee thac Premier P. D. Patello, of British Columbia, came to Washington three times about the highway, and that the Canadians had spent | $150,000 on reconaissance to our | ile.(M)O_ In answer to Representa- | tive James W. Mott, of Oregon, Mr. | McDonald pointed out that an add- | |ed reason for not putting the| “Route A" through Hazleton was the lack of gravel north of Hazle- ton, while the gravel supply was adequate on all the rest of the route except that portion lying 90 miles on the Alaska side of the| boundary. Chairman Wilburn Cartwight of Oklahoma, who had recovered suf- | ficiently from his illness to be present, stated that in the opin- lion of the Secretary of Interior, the President had at present the | right to order the construction of a highway to Alaska. Representa- tive Will M. Whittington, of Mis- souri, pointed out that congression- al action would enable the Presi- dent to use other money than de- fense funds for the road, which the usual procedure of dealing with | defense appropriations. He also | said that in his belief, if the Unit- ed States chose to be “Santa Claus,” he expected no objection |on the part of Canada. The “A Route” is the one ad- vanced by Gov. Erneht Gruening, former Gov. Thomas Riggs, and | others, from Seattle through Hazle- ton, Prince George and to White- horse. The “B Route” is favored by| the Canadians and lies 125 miles | east of the “A Route” and goes, to Dawson.
