S. Coast Guard to locate its pro- posed 17th District Headquarters here if the district should be rees- | tablished. A meeting was held last | night by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce at which ways and means were discussed for furnish- ing necessary office space for the Coast Guard and, also, several oth- er Federal agencies which might want to come here. The group, consisting of promin- ent businessmen, discussed two pro- posals which they will investigate further before offering them to the Coast Guard. One would be to convert a downtown hotel build- ing as an otfice building. It is es- timated that such a project would require little effort or inconven- | ience but would only be able to]| house the Coast Guard. | The other proposal would be to sistant Secretary of the Interior william Warne will be present. Mr. Kadow comes to the Interior Department with a distinguished record in promotion and develop- ment work. He has been associated with the following firms: Stettinius, Associates, a corpora- tion which, promotes economic de- velopment work in South America. and the Coordinators Office, whichi was established by the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, to foster bet- I H construct a new $650,000 office | building in the downtown area. This building would be constructed to meet exactly the specifications of the Coast Guard and other agencies. It would be tailored to their needs. Both ideas are still in the talk stage and will be discussed and investigated completely before any concrete proposals are offered to the Coast Guard or other agencies.

Monsen, publisher MI the ‘Daily Alaska Empire, returned here via PAA yesterday after a. three and a half month absence. During her absence, Mrs. Monsen and Miss Miriam Dickey, Secretary to Captain Austin E. Lathrop, at Fairbanks, made a two and a half | month trip to Europe. They visited Great France, Belgium, Holland, Ger-| many, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and Portugal, traveling mos! of the way by air. Miss Dickey is .still in Seattle but will return to Alaska soon. i - Mrs. Mongen feported that mosi Europeans are considerably alarm- ed over the threat of the Soviet Iron Curtain. She said that these people are afraid the United States might move out and leave them to the mercy of the Russians. Europeans are suspicious of ev-} ery Russian move, she said, and are particularly suspicious of the pres- ent differences between Marshal Tito, of Yugoslavia, and the Com- munist international Cominform. Mrs. Monsen said that she was continually asked what the U. S. would do in the event of war be- cause they feel they can't defend themselves and would thus be at the mercy of the Russians if Americans pulled out. Mrs. Monsen declared that pov- erty still exists on a large scale and there is a considerable food shortage in Europe. She urged the continuance of CARE packages be- ing shipped overseas. She was quite surprised to note that it was unnecessary to speak any foreign languages during her trip. Mrs. Monsen reported that most people spoke and understood enough English so that she en- countered no difficulty in get- ting around. The Empire publisher said she was happy to be back in Juneau and has no intention of leaving again for a long time. She just wants to be back with her friends. e 138 KNOWN DEAD, LUDWIGSHAFEN, July 30— —The death toll in the Farben plant explosion here stands at 138 known dead and from 200 to 250 missing and presumed dead.
