T, Oct. 26.— For the first time in history an Alaskan Delegate in the American Congress has left his vast con- stituency by land. Anthony J. Dimond, Delegate from Alaska in the United States House of Representatives for the past ‘11 years, visited Whitehorse recently on his way to Washington, D. C., via the new 1630-mile Alaska In- ternational Highway. Dimond drove from Whitehorse to Dawson Creek on the famous road with Col. Joseph P. Glandon, Am- erican Army officer commanding the highway. At Whitehorse, Dimond was the guest of Brig. Gen. James A. O'Con- nor, Commanding General of the Northwest Service Command, and builder of the Alaska Highway. After his trip with Col. Glandon, Delegate Dimond wired Gen. O'Con- nor that his journey over the high- way was “eminently successful’ and that he found the famous road in even better condition than he had “anticipated.” He congratulated Gen. O'Connor on the progress and at- | tainments made. \ Dimond is one of the pioneelr? advocates of a land route to Alaska. His trip on the highway marked the first time that an American Con- gressman from Alaska ever had left Alaska by land. Until the Alaska | Highway was completed, Alaska was as cut off by mountain wildernes as a bona fide island is'by the sea.” Dimond is a member of both the Military Affairs and Naval Affairs committees of the United States House of Representatives. He has a son who is a first lieutenant in the American Army.
