Joint war games are being held there, and military lgaders are wor g out several new de- velopments in the use of airborne troops i For one thing, the parachute may soon solete as a method of droppi air troopers for an at- tack. A rotary glider may take the place of _ the familiar parachute. Military leaders aren’t saying too about that just now. Most of ails of the glider are still top secret, However, it is known that some sort of powerless helicopter is used in this new way of landing troops. Another new development in air- borne warfare is the use of fewer| planes in can g troops.

There Are Two Candidates: The incumbent, Frank Metcalf, appointed by the Governor a year ago upon death of Leonard Smith; prior to appointment had been sometime Juneau City Engineer and engaged in private sur- veys of homesteads and mining claims. His opponent, Donald MaeDonald, khown as “Pather of the Alaska Highway”. Served with United States Engineers during war. Appointed to International Highway Commission by Presi- dent Roosevelt working out of Delegate Dimond’s Washington office. Did exploratory engineering on Steese Highway, Tok-Cutoff and other major roads for Alaska Road Commission. METCALF—Organized present Territorial High- Py way Patrol by expanding the force from four to fourteen in less than one year. Indicates he will expand further as gas-tax funds be- come available. Now is spending approxi- mately $120,000.00 annually for this police system. 5 . MacDONALD—Opposes present type of patrol as impractical and extravagant. Favors a patrol with mechanical ability and trained in flrst-ni_d, using vehicle suitable for emer- gency jobs or as an ambulance. Demands di- rect legislative appropriation with no diver- sion from gas-tax fund. METCALF—Opposes Coastal Route to connect Southeastern cities of Ketchikan, Wrangell and Juneau with western British Columbia and Seattle. Brands Coastal Route as “gold- en dream”. MacDONALD—Advocates immediate construc- tion of Coastal Route as being of prime mili- tary and economic importance. Says Coastal Route will relieve Southeastern Alasga from threat of isolation due to maritime disputes or submarine warfare, and will open up a tourist industry and provide direct connec- tion with States for Alaska’s fresh and frozen fish. Political Background: METCALF—Has previously been candidate for office but defeated. As favored appointee METCALF—Exclusive of private roads built, spent more for policing lonely roads in In- terior than for roads and harbor improve- ments in Southeastern Alaska. has made political rewards. Built stretch of private road for his benefactor — Governor Gruening. MacDONALD—Defeated by few votes in primary, had not previously been candidate for office. = Says “I have engineering objectives. Iam MacDONALD—Opposes diversion of tax money and advocates spending taxes in areas from A Both men are Alaskans with children and ren in Alaska. not a candidate for Chief Constable”. which collected. METCALF—Active in civilian defense during war years; active in clubs and social affairs at*Juneau; U. S. Army Officer during World War I; generally popular and known as a géod fellow. MacDONALD—Has written for engineering pub- lications, newspapers and magazines of na- tional _circulation; Lectured extensively throughout nation in support of Alaska's road needs; Respected and beloved by all who know him for his vision, ability and character. - grandchild Both candidates have educational requirements for job. ON THE BASIS OF THE FOREGOING WE MUST CONCLUDE THAT MacDONALD HAS THE SUPERIOR PROFESSIONAL ABILITY, THE PROVEN RECORD OF“PERFORMANCE, AND IS BEST FITTED FOR THIS OFFICE. METCALF'S USE OF TAX MONEY RAISES i SERIOUS DOUBTS AS TO HIS JUDGMENT IN SPENDING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF THE GAX TAX FUND. 'FOR THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE FIRST PIVISION WE BELIEVE YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR DONALD MacDONALD FOR HIGHWAY 4 'ENGINEER.
