KRUG SENDS SKINNER TO STUDY WATER TRANSPORT that the variou with 1 Due to arrive in Alaska Wednes- day, Carlson W. Skinner, special assistant to the Secretary of the Interior, has been assigned by Secretary J. A. Krug to make an independent study of Alaska's water transportation situation. Skinner’s survey is for guidance in drawihg up the Department’s policy for presentation before the new Congress. A former member of ghe U. S. Maritime Commission, Skinner now is in Seattle for conferences with steamship officials. As he requested that someone ac- company him on his 10-day trip in Alaska, the Alaska Development Board authorized its First Division member, J. A. Talbot of Ketchikan, to be his Alaska escort.’ Talbot, who operates Talbot's Dock in Ketchikan, formerly was chairman of the board of Alaska Transportation Company. He will meet Skinner in Ketchikan and ac- company him to Wrangell, Peters- burg, Juneau, Sitka, Haines, Skag- way, Cordova and Anchorage. Skinner, who is particularly in- terested in ports and terminals, un- dertakes the quick Alaska study with excellent background. He ac- companied Secretary Krug on his inspection two years ago, and, as a Navy officer during the war, he commanded a destroyer in Al- askan waters. e — ! FAMILY ARRIVES FRON WASH, D.

On the basis of a 99 year Jease, Hilscher predicted that such an arrangement would do more for the development of the Interior as well as Southeast Alaska than any other plan to ease transportation Lottlenecks. | Transportation plans, a chief con- sideration of the Development Board, according to the speaker, include easing of present customs regula- tions between the United States and Canada as regards flying between the two countries; the building of a railroad from Prince George to Fairbanks, the easing of CAB regu- Jations regarding non-scheduled air- planes. Presenting the ceremony that will | install Dr. Bunnell as the University of Alaska's first President Emeritus at the time of the school's gradua- tion exercises as one of the most important events the Territory has ever witnessed, Hilscher explained that it was hoped that at least 27 University presidents from the States would be present—at least “gne for every year of Dr. ‘Bunnell's presicency.” The importance, the color and glamour of the ceremony, Hilscher asserted would be a fitting accolade to Dr. Bunnell's vears of service to the territory and the Uni- versity. “We may even have Harry S. Truman with us. We are inviting the President,” Hilscher said. Guests of honor at the luncheon, ! | presided over by President Gladys Vuille, were, in addition to Mr. Hilscher, Mrs. Ernest Gruening, Senator Anita Garnick, Representa- tive Doris Barnes, Essie Dale and Amelia Gundersen.
