STIMSON SOON, HINT AGAINST 2 N D Byrnes Says Salary Control ALASKA ROAD [Bill Authorized Highway from Seattle, Reveal- ed Today WASHINGTON, Oct. —Secre- tary of War Henry C. Stimson dis- approved in a- letter made public today the proposed $50,000,,000 for a second international highway to Alaska, and took sharp exception to the “misleading and inaccurate statements” contained in the bill, House Resolution 7284, which au- thorized the road. Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond was the sponsor of the bill. The measure was made public in a letter which Stimson wrote to Rep. Cartwright, chairman of the House Public Roads Committee. Stimson said that the War De- partment could not approve the road route from Seattle to Alaska as an Army completion pilot road along the route which was chosen and said that misleading state- ments were contained in ‘the pre- amble of the bill. “The bill was drawn,” he said, “to give the impression that a ‘primitive road’ now is being built. “This is not true. The present road, when completed, will be grad- ed and graveled, will be a highway useful for many purposes. “Meanwhile, a pilot road will gin moving soon, and at the same time, a large number of contrac- tors will undertake construction of road, working at many points simultaneously. “These contractor operations al- ready have begun.” SOLOMON BASEISAIM OF NIPPONS Jap Bombers Blast Again at American-held Airfield (Continued from Page One) in thunderous spurts around the Sol- omon Islands as strengthened Am- erican and Jap forces strove des- perately for knockout blows and stepped up aerial and naval action throughout the entire battle-en- |flamed area.
