The President may authorize the Governor of the Panama Canal and the general manager of the Alaska Railroad to pay the compensation provided by this Act, including the medical, surgical, and hospital services and supplies provided by section 9 and the transportation and burial expenses provided by sections 9 and 11, out of the appropria- tions for the Panama Canal and for the Alaska Railroad, such appro- priations to be reimbursed for such payments by the transfer of funds from the employees' compensation fund. "The transfer by the President of the administration of this Act so far as the employees of the Alaska Railroad are concerned to the general manager of the Alaska Railroad shall not divest the United States Employees' Compensation Commission of jurisdiction here- under, and any claimant shall have the right of appeal from the decision of the general manager of the Alaska Railroad to the United States Employees' Compensation Commission, and the Commission shall, upon such appeal, and may at any time, on its own motion, review the decision of the general manager of the Alaska Railroad, and in accordance with the facts found on such review, may proceed as provided in section 37 hereof. The United States Employees' Compensation Commission shall provide the form and manner of taking such appeals." Approved, April 6, 1938.
