YOU'D | L\KE TO BE ALONE SOME TIME- WOULDN'T You ? HOMONR a.:“ PWA CONSIDERS $50,000 BRANT FOR FAIRBANKS [nterior City Wants Money to Erect City Hall—P. W. A. Till Depleted WSHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 18— (Spe 1 Correspondence)— conzideration by the legal depart- ment of the Public Works Admin- istration is the application _of Fairbanks for a loan and grant in the sum of $50,000. If allotted, the money would be used to build a new city hall, which also would house the fire depart- ment, and to repair and construct eewers and sidewalks. Administrator Ickes today an- nounced that the PWA till is practically empty. Allotments have been made apace since an addi- tional half billion dollars was re- cently appropriated by Congress, and now only $4,000,000 remains. It is expected bonds held by the PWA will be sold to the Recon- struction Finance Corporation to obtain additional cash. Gruening Takes Office The chal the directorship of the new Division of Territories and Island Possessions of the De- partment of the Interior, has come about even sooner than was gen- erally anticipatad. Major Earl Landreth, temporarily assigned as director, has been succeeded by Dr. Ernest H. Gruening. Dr. Gruening is a_speeialist ‘in cently he was editor of the New York Evening Post. Previously he was managing editor of the Na- tion, liberal weekly, publisher and editor of the Portland (Me. Eve- ning News and managing editor of the Boston Traveler. Dr. Gruening is a graduate of Harvard—the Pres- ident’s university—and is 47 years old. I F. H. A. Is Delayed Not until the Federal Housing| Administration has orzanized its| campaign in the States, in order| to take full advantage cf building possibllities this fail, will consider- | ation be given to the matter of es- tablishing administrative agences in | the territories. This policy was out-| lined today by an official of the! FHA after Delegate Dimond had| requested a statement with refer—l ence to procedure in Alaska. This does not mean that Alas- kans cannot apply at once for modernization loans to their banks or other qualified agencies. They| can do that in the same manner as anyone in the States. The sole | difference is that state and region- al directors have been appointed in continental United States to speed up the program, while such officers will not be named in the territor- ies for the present at least: Medification Is Sought If a recommendation which Dele- gate Dimond made to the Treas- ury Department early in the sum- mer and which he has renewed at frequent intervals since, is adopted Under i | The regulations provide Coulee Project Aids Northwest’ Construction camps for Grand i Coulee project. | | | | Another unit in President Rooseve | dams, composing the Grand Coule thousands of parched acres and i gold miners will be freed of an in- conveniencz which, it seems, was ,caused inadvertantly by a section of the provisional gold regulations. that none without a license may re- tort gold. This has been construed to mean the small miner who per- haps does his retorting in a gold pan as well as the larger operator. It is obiously not practicable for hundred dollars annually to go to the trouble of securing a license, and to make the situation worse the regulations were not generally understood in many parts of the Territory at the time miners went to the hills for the season. ‘The Delegate has proposed a re- vision of the regulations so that gold may be retorted so long as retorting is not carried to the point where the metal could not be identified as being newly mined. A decision on the part of the Treasury, was expected some time {a.go, but the attention of the de- partment has been centered on questions having to do with silver to such an extent in recent weeks that it has not been possible to obtain a decision with respect to altering the gold regulations along the lines proposed by Mr. Dimond.

University of Washington fans feel the University of Oregon was a little too technical in demanding a year of eligibility be lopped ofi the varsity term of Burl Bufkin, star Husky back. Bufkin left Washington last spring after receiving an appoint- ment to West Point. He aitended the Point’s summer camp but de- cided he'd rather be at Washington and returned. Oregon, of course, was within its technical rights in insisting Buf- kin lose a year of competition, but Husky fans hold the Pacific Coast conference would have overlooked the transfer because Bufkin did not even report for the academy foctball team. e PHILS BUY UP TEXAS PITCHERS FOR NEXT YEAR PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 10.—Pur- chase of Orvill Jorgens and Jim Vivin, pitchers, from the Galves- ton club of the Texas League, is announced by Manager Jimmy Wilson of Philadelphia.
