Yet from what private construction firms, the peace time social hous- ing programs and an appeal to patriotic house owners to rent rooms to defense workers, prac- tically nothing has been done. Not long ago, the House com- 'mittee on Public Buildings and |Grounds had before it the Lanham bill to provide $50,000,000 for de- fense housing in the District of Co- lumbia. Palmer, testifying the committee said: “I do not know of any words with which I can make more emphatic the grav- ity of the situation. If we are again delayed by controversies ov er details; indeed, if the bill t I have suggested does not make funds available within the next few weeks, I cannot accept responsi- bility for the disastrous conditions that face Washington and for the effect such conditions will have upon the war effort.” So far as the “disastrous con- ditions” are concerned, makeshift housing (such as exists in nearb trailer towns) and emergency bu ing (three and four persons living gets better, no| aside | before | such a level that Washington is right at the point of spilling over into tents and park benches.

Ernest Gruening wired B. D. Stewart, Territorial Commissioner of Mines today that there is no possi- ! bility of obtaining a blanket excep- tion from priority rulings for Alaska {mines. The Governor said, however, | that individual cases would be con- | sidered on their merits and instruct- {ed Stewart to contact all mine operators and to obtain their mini- | mum requirements. | The Governor said that placer! operators should list minimum re- quirements for the coming season, | and that quartz operators should | list theirs for the year. He empha- sized that reports should be kepn to the very minimum of mnterml:\ needed. In the case of steel, the Governor | suggested that requests be kept to carbon instead of alloy steel. | | Mine operators are requested to| ‘send this data to Stewart who will | forward it to Washington. A speedy | response is imperative in order to |systematize the reports and to in-| \sure expediting of materials in the | | near future, Stewart said. Gov. Gruening said that Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond con- | curred with the views expressed in | the telegram. Meanwhile, a wire from Delegate | {Dimond was read at the Juneau Chamber of Commerce meeting at | noon today in which the Delegate said he agreed that Alaska should | be excepted from priority rulmgs and was working accordingly. ——————— | | Most of the raw material for| | synethetic rubber will be supplied | by the petroleum industry. | — BUY LEFENSE STAMPS IF YOUR NOSE| *CLOSES UP* TONIGHT nourl It (1) lhflnn Avollen membranes, (3) soothes irritation, (3) relleves transient nasal con- estion . . . and brings greater relthing comhrt. e YICKS Follow the compls n‘foder.
