They were: House Speaker Joe Martin, West Virginia's Com- gressman Mel Snyder and New Jersey’s Congressman Frank Mat- hews. Snyder and Mathews argued that defense dollars could be better spent to strengthen the National Guard and Reserve. The Speaker gave his blessing to the idea, but suggested also using a limited draft to prod recalcitrants into the National Guard and the Reserve. “We already have a backlog of 10 to 12 million battle-trained vet- erans,” Snyder pointed out. “Com- pulsory training would just in- crease the backlog.” | ‘What the country needs, urged the West Virginia Republican, is not a big draft but an efficient reserve program. America already has plenty of civilian minute-men, but lacks a program to keep them up to date and on their toes. Under peacetime conscription, masses of young men would simply march through the military mill and fol- low the steps of the wartime vet- erans back into civilian life—with no place to keep their military skills sharpened.

C. Many things, pertaining to Alas- ka, were discussed with Department of Agriculture officials in Washing= ton, D. C. by Regional Forester B. F. Heintzleman who has just re- turned from there where he also| attended a meeting of Regional Foresters. Heintzleman revealed that he doesn't believe that it wil be pos- sible to secure the necessary funds for paving the Glacier Highway from Juneau to the Airport this year. He said that there are many de- mands for Federal money and that so much of it is being spent, that his hopes are not very high to get the necessary $500,000 this year. Few Funds Available He also reported that the Forest Service does not expect to get much in the way of funds for other For~ est highways this year. He expects| about the same amount as last| year which will just about take care of maintenance costs and permit, little new construction. He aleo| said that the Forest Service will probably be allowed only the same small amount, for trail construction and maintenance as last year. Heintzleman was particularly gratified at the appropriation for the Turnagain Arm highway. It was included in the Interior Department budget rather than under the Pub- lic Roads Administration. He has been working on this project for several years because it will open vast areas of the Chugach National Forest, He was also satisfied with the new law, made by Congress, to authorize the issuance of 30 year permits for hotel and resort sites up to 80 acres in National Forests, Big Research Program The Regional Forester was also pleased with the granting of various research programs for Alaskadncluds ing the expansion of .agricultur: research in the Interior, creation ot a Forest research program and a research program by the Forest vice to devise means for protecting salmon spawning streams from large logging operations. He said that Ray Taylor, who spent ten years here previously, will be returned to Alaska next month to conduct the forest research pro- gram. The research program will study problems of growth andi( regeneration. Heintzleman also revealed, that his former position of Commissioner for Alaska has been re-activated. He will coordinate all Alaska agen- cies of the U. 8. Department of Agriculture and make the necessary recommendations to the Secretary. He said that these agencies include; the Forest Service, Soil Conserva-! tion Service, Plant Quarantine Bu- reau, Rural Electrification Admini- stration and about six research bu- reaus.
