See House-Senate O. K For Railroad to Alaska

Line Will link Seattle And Fairbanks, Alaska*

Special to Central Press 'VSTrABMINOTON Th< day • . a streamlined “Arctic Limited”! 7T train will roll out of Seattle on an overnight run to Fair--banks. Alaska, may he just around the corner. Prospects for the most important peacetime Alaskan development since the Klondike gold rush of ’98 construction of a direct rail-' load connection with the United Slat-s’ Pacific coast—now seem most promising. Agitation in w< -tern states for a railroad to link Seattle with Fairbanks has resulted in legislation, urging the pi eject, introduced in the 81st Congress by both Democrats and Republicans. This legislation, which is expected to quickly pass both House and Senate, will direct President Truman to negotiate with Canada for an agreement V permit co-operative construction of the

line.

Optimism is .null on the Pacific coast, especially tn Seattle, that < oiflP.niction may be commenced late this year, or at least by 1950. despite the tremendous estimated cost of between 700 and 800 million dollars It is a itlcipated that private commercial interests will provide half, of the needed funds President Truman • » • • • THE COM ERRENT RESOLUTION now be^ 1 1 b'te Congress states that the development of Alaskan territory and I n Miur.- s is essential to th.- national economic welfare; hut that | < i-Ting tiansportation lacilitl.s are inadequate for such develop- ! tuent. and also for defense in event of an emergency It is pointed out hv competent authorities that water transporta-' ' P i between (he Pacific coast and Alaska is subject to so many interruptions in peacetime, and is so vulnerable in wartime, that in l dependence .annot he plsced on it While dozens of large comnieir nil planes fly daily from Seattle to >11 AMskan points ir. a matter of hours, this method is too costly tot general heavy freight and commodity shipments. During the war. in 1942 and 194 ! the United States Army Engl-' n«- rs made n survey of lh» advocated route, for defense purposes, winch would have extended the proposed railroad even beyond Fairbanks to Nome and the shores of Bering Strait, only a few miles opposite Russian .Siberia. However, aft< r United Slates fore s pushed the Japanese out of Ihe Aleutians, the railroad plan became just another project which whs given a non-piaorilv status by the favorable turn in the tide of

• UNDER LEADERSHIP of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, the Western States Council Iasi year adopted a resolution urging th*- project. This *ouncil is composed of representative* from California, New Mexico. Arizona. Colorado. Utah. Nevada. Wyoming.

Idaho. Oregon. Montana and Washington.

Railroad legislation introduced last year was approved by the

Senate, but Congress adjourned before the House could take artion. Seattle aheadv has ditect rail connections to Vancouver, British Columbia, via the Gieat Northern and Northern Pacific railroads. At that p<n/it, there is a 42-mile gap northward until Ihe Pacific

Great Eastern railway begins at Squamlsh. Freight anil passengers now move from Vancouver to

Squamish by steamship.

Rail construction arcun-.l this water gap would be

the first link needed.

The next link -347 miles of operating P G. E. line from Squamish to Quesnel. B C -would probably have to he purchased Horn Bntisli Columbia under the Joint agreement; and the present light rails replaced with heavier ones. Principal construction link would la- approximately 1.500 miles — northwest (hiough the Rorkv mountain trench from Quesnel to Kobe Station, which lies,on the present Alaska railroad tine between Fairbanks and Anrhorate. .

New Labor Law May Be Delayed WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 (UPi Senate Democratic leader Scott W. Lucas of Illinois said today that he has abandoned hope for enactment of a new labor- law by April 1. He refused to set a new target date. But he made it plain that h no longer believed it possible for congress to pass a TaftHartley repealer by early .spring when many union contracts expire. For that reason. Lucas told reporters, he probably will not prod the senate labor committee t i begin voting on the administration bill before next Friday, the date tentatively set by Chairman Filbert D. Thomas. D., Utah. Lucas said there had been strong pressure earlier for enactment of a new lav. by April 1 so that new labor-management contracts could be written under the new measure. He would not concede that the pressure was completely off now, however. He said that the bill would have high priority for senate debate as soon as the committee acts. The filing ot mortgage exemptions by real estate owners is dug to begin March 1st and will continue until the first Monday in May.
