A new national academy for the training of merchant marine officers who would be available to the Navy in time of emergency was disclosed today | @s an important part of the adminis- | tration’s new ship subsidy policy. Alaskan “Gold BY NELSON M. SHEPARD. LANS of the Federal Govern- ment to colonize the fertile Matanuska Valley in Alaska with pioneer American stock spell disappointment to thou- sands of depression-weary families who are seeking the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. From official sources in Washington today the warning was issued: “There ain't no gold in them thar hills.” The academy Would be under the | direction of Commerce Department officials, but the Navy would have an interest in its conduct as well as in plans to provide training for 20,000 officers and men in a merchant ma- rine naval reserve. Government officials who have been shaping the new merchant marine policy for consideration by Congress | disclosed also that a “fighting fund" | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Landing at Seward, the settlers will be moved to Anchorage, within 50 miles from the valley. Then by pack train }hez will hike out for the “promised and.” Until they build their own log cabins, hewn from the virgin forest, the settlers will live under canvass provided by the government. ‘The Matanuska Valley is in a region warmed by the Japan current. In climate and agriculture it is similar to conditions in the American Northwest. That is one of the reasons why the | |pioneer families are being selected ! Fed on false hopes by an erring offi- cial of the Government-owned Alaskan Railroad, letters by the thousands are from those States. No settlers will be chosen from other areas, officials say. It is hoped to get the families moved in so they can start their Spring planting under favorable conditions. These details have not been arranged. Families may each be given sufficient ground for a small farm, or they may be allowed garden plots and farm on a community basis.

At recent hearings before the Post Office Department, American companies complained about competition from Japanese lines which, they said, were fast, but had more inexpensive vessels, manned by crews paid lower wages than those on American ships. | At present the merchant marine is | officially considered far below defense | needs. It was indicated today the Navy wants at least 140 vessels, par-| ticularly fast combination passenger and cargo ships and tankers, built to be available in time of emergency. ‘Tankers especially are needed, it was said, and the Navy would like at least 30 capable of making 10 to 12 knots. | The merchagt marine academy | would . be modeled after Annapolis | and the Coast Guard Academy at | New London, Conn. The course would be from two to three years and can- didates could be proposed by steam- ship operators.

To each of these communicants the Government is preparing an individual reply—a reply that will dash all hope of starting on a second great gold rush to Alaska or of free homesteads and a new start in life. For the whole colonization scheme is confined strict- 1y to 200 families and 400 unmarried laborers who are to be carefully se- lected by the relief officials of three Northwestern States — Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin. Wwithout the knowledge of officials | in Washington, reports of the Alaskan | scheme of rural rehabilitation were first issued by the Alaskan Railroad on very meager and incorrect infor- | mation about the plans. In circulat- ing, the reports gained color until many actually believe the boom gold days in Alaska are about to be re- peated. The fact that some of the laborers are to be given jobs in the nearby Willow Creek gold fields gave credence to rumor, The 200 families and 400 laborers are to be selected after a conference soon between State officials and Law- Free Tuition But No Pay. | rence Westbrook, director of rural re- Students probably would receive free tuition and maintenance, but Would not be paid, as in the case of service schools.

Officials said that at the time Great Britain entered the World War she immediately mobilized 16,000 officers and men from her merchant marine reserve, while the United States had no marine reserve to call into duty. The administration is expected to ask Congress to extend the old mer- chant marine naval reserve act, pro- vide pay for officers and menr while in training and to supply adequate naval training. From time to time serious rate wars have threatened American shippers and the “fighting fund” would be available to protect them in case one | did break out. RAMSPECK.
