FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1951 Tkreatened Closure of the Val-| dez end of the Richardson High- way during the coming winter be- cause of lack of funds for snow removal has drawn a whole barrage of protests. | The highway closure would in- deed be a big step backward and a major blow not only to the port of Valdez but to Interior Alaska points that have come to depend on truck- ers for year-around freight service.| It was the truckers themselves who proved three years ago that the highway can be kept open dur- ing the winter months, and without excessive expense. ! They bought some $186,000 worth | of special snow-removal equipment | and put up another $47,000 for fuel, | labor and other expenses of operat- | ing the equipment The Territory of Alaska also con- | tributed $20,000 from the motor fuel tax revenues to help with the ex- penses. This brought the total cost of operating the snow removal pro- gram to $67,000 for the winter. If this figure is somewhere near the average annual cost of the program and if traffic stays at somewhere near its present volume, the cost would amount to some-| where around a dollar for each ton of freight hauled over the highway during the winter months.

To avert the winter shutdown this year the truckers may have to take over the project again. It would, of course, increase their overall costs and might force them to up their rates a bit, but with the recent increase in Alaska Railioad freight tariffs, the truckers have somewhat of a cushion to work on. It may be, too, that the Alaska Road Commission, the Territory and perhaps even the military will| each find it possible to ante up a portion of the funds required.

DARIGOLD CHEESE Senator Hugh Butler, as a mem- ber of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, has taken a great deal of interest in both Haw- | ailan and Alaskan statehood. His opposition to the statehood bills considered by the committee has made a pretty fair showing in re- cent weeks. Back in 1949 Senator Butler re- ported dn “Communist Penetra- | tion of the Hawailan Islands.” In | that report he named a number of | the leading Hawaiian communis'.s.! Last year and again this year the Senator repeated his charges in | the minority reports on the Hawai- ian statehood bills. The Nebraska Senator was sneer- ed at by administration leaders. He | was accused of fomenting witch | hunts and of seeing dangers where none existed. | Last month Senator Butler was at least partly vindicated when the| FBI arrested seven alleged Com- munists in Hawaii. Six of the seven had been named in the Butler| report of 1949. The seven have noi e MIBARR S 4444805 by dan s CELLOPHANE WRAPPED SO PROTECT FRESHNESS AND FLAVOR
