Bartlett WASHINGTON, Feb. 15—(Spec- ial Correspondence)—In comment- ing on the departure from the Gab- inet of Harold L. Ickes, Delegate Bartlett said that “in all the long vears during which he was virtual overlord of Alaska, he failed to de- vote to Alaska the time and atten- tion which its perplexing problems deserved. Perhaps that is just as well, because whenever his fleeting interest was aroused, it was almost uniformly misdirected “He left in a veritable thunder of verbiage, claiming for himself, as he always had, almost exclusive possession of honesty and good in- tent. Oddly enough, at his final press conference, Ickes refused to make a direct answer to a report- er's contention that at the very moment he was opposing the nom- ination of one oil man for an ad- ministration post, he was said to be actively promoting another -- and bigger!—oil man -for the position of Under Secretary of the Interior. “Alaska is the gainer by his leav- ing no matter what the circum- stances of his going were. It is difficult—for me, at the moment, ¢t is impossible—to imagine any successor who would not be an im- provement in his relations with Al- aska and Alaskans.” SURPLUS VESSELS Twenty-seven surplus Coast Guard vessels at Ketchikan, first scheduled to be transferred from Alaska waters for sale elsewhere, will be entertained in the Territory for disposal upon the request of Delegate Bartlett acting upen in- formation received from the Ketch- ikan Chamber of Commerce. The United Staies Coa: has issued temporary instructions to their field force to discontinue transfer of these boats to be fol icwea, undoubtedly, by a formal order. The Department of the In- terior has been designated as the disposal agency handling small boats in Alaska, and the Maritime Commission, War Shipping Admin- istration, War Department and Navy Department are declaring surplus craft to the department through its agency, the Surplus Property Office Arrangements for sale of the sur- ph vessels at Ketchikan will be made by the Surplus Property «Of- fice as soon as the office receives from the Coast Guard declarations and necessary title papers cover- ing these boats. Construction vn twelve rivers and harbors projects in Alaska author- ized by Congress in 1945 is not contemplated for the fiscal year 1947 following drastic cuts made the Bureau oOf the Budget and the House Committee on Appro- priations on sums requested by the Chief of Engineers. The Chief of Engineers, in draw- ing up requests for funds for all projects throughout the United Stafes, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, authorized by Congress in 1945, submitted a program calling for an appropriation of $117,000,000 which the Budget reduced to $28,000,000. This program included funds in the amount cf $1,000,000 for the Wran- gell Narrows project out of the twelve territorial projects authoriz- ed, but this sum was eliminated when the program was finally sub- mitted to Congress. . In view of this action and be- cause of the existence of an econ- cmy bloc in Congress, it is impos- sible to psedict when funds will| finally be appropriated so that all| twelve Alaska rivers and harbors projects will be constructed. The/| Chief of Engineers had submitted ' an advance six-year program on | maintenance and improvement of rivers and harbors works which | now will undoubtedly have to be| revised because of action of the Budget and Congress. The twelve Alaska projects auth- crized in 1945 are: Metlakatla Har- bor, Craig Harbor, Meyers Chuck Harbor, Wrangell Harbor, Wrangell | Narrows, Petersburg Harbor, Port Alexander, Sitka Harbor, Gastineau | Channel, Skagway Harbor, Elfin | Cove and Seldovia Harbor. The Chief of Engineers included | in his budget a total estimation of $67,871,500 for maintenance and im- provement of existing projects and other continuing and routine oper- ations.

RELIEF FOR GOLD MINERS | Delegate Bartlett has testified fa- vorably in behalf of & bill provid- | ng financial relief for owners of gold mines who had to close their! mines or curtail operations as the result of restrictions imposed by the limitaticn order L-208 of the W Production Board. The bill, H. R. 4393, was intro- duced by Congressman Engle of | California, and hearings are being | held before the subcommittee of | the House War Claims Comumitiee | of which Mr. Engle is chairman. The measure provides that with- 2 gold mine operator may submit claims for the amount of loss, in- | cluding the costs of placing thci mine in its pre-L-208 condition, caused by closing the mine or cur- tailing operations. All claims would be considered | and certified by an examiner ap-| pointed by the Secretary of the Treasury, and provision is made for appeals from the examiner’s deci- sions through the United States District Courts. Carl Lomen of Nome and Seattle ond Philip Bradley, Jr., interested | in several mines in Alaska, includ- ing the Alaska Juneau Gold mine, | also appeared before the subcom- mittee in endorsement of the bill. e | CHICAGO—If William Anthony Furness, scion of an English ship-| g family, encountered any dining car difficulties on his récent train trip from Los Angeles to the east coast, he had an edible ace in the hole.
