L. Bartlett immediately telegraphed = strong protest to Washington. Bartlett had introduced the bill which became Public Law 264. His telegraphed protest was to Assistant Secretary of the Interior Dale Doty, who is in charge of the Office of Territories of which the Alaska Public Works is a branch. The Alaska Delegate urged that “the Alaska Public Works not be viewed as an ordinary one would be —that is, as a case where it is de- sirable to save materials and man- power to meet all defense require- ments. “Because,” amplified Bartlett, “it s not in the ordinary category of Public Works but, on the other hand, a program the President him- self urged for speedy development of Alaska in order that the military here be strengthened by civilian de- velopment.” Bartlett pointed out that the pro- gram already had suffered from ‘brutal assaults” and said it should the endorsement of their national| § i E S ing ; not b nished at u- {organizatiohs oF the TAIbeA NLHORS Pete Maisen, and James Channing e dimil at all by execu: tive action. “The appropriation made,” he added, “was far too little to meet the needs, and certainly should have no further reduction from the Con- gressional appropriation.” FROM WHITEHORSE L.
