| Summary: | Anchorage Food To Last 30 Days. ANCHORAGE FOOD TO LAST 30 DAYS ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Wednesday, Nov. 4.—UP)—Mayor Herbert Brown of Anchorage telegraphed Gov. John W. Troy today there was only food enough in the city to "last thirty days" and the Palmer Chamber of Commerce in Matanuska Valley joined rainbelt towns in a strong protest against suspension of service on the federal-owned Alaska Railroad. From Seward, southern terminus of the railroad, the steamship Curacoa sailed for Seattle with passengers and mail, while the steamship Starr, in the Kodiak-Aleutian service, swung at Anchor. Suspension of freight and passenger service on the railroad, due to the maritime strike, brought comments from train crews the railroad could not resume again before June if the order of Col. O. F. Ohlson, general manager, becomes effective tomorrow. Colonel Ohlson wirelessed the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce, which objected to the suspension, that if merchants along the railroad had patronized it instead of competitors "it could have operated through this emergency, but under present conditions it can not without an emergency appropriation."
