Before any consideration can be given our town | as a Coast Guard Headquarters approximately 20,000 square feet of office space is required, or, say, two | floors of a building 100 feet by 100. Housing for.an estimated staff of 80 people is another consideration, that faces Juneau, Chamber of Commerce Secretry Fred Eastaugh says. Working with Lt. Comdr. Edward Chester, Eastaugh has reached | estimates that indicate the need of 30 to 40 family | units, apartments or houses, of varying size. Charles Goldstein, who recently announced his plans to erect a new building on Front Street between Seward and Main has told the Chamoer of Commerce that, should the Coast Guard express interest in Juneau as headquarters, he will finish 20,000 feet of his proposed building to Coast Guard specifications. The Chamber of Commerce Housing Committee is working on plans for rental housing. Juneau, of course, feels that it is the logical loca- tion for the Coast Guard. Our location is more central than that of Ketchikan, Juneau's chief contender for an Alaska Coast Guard headquarters. That Juneau is the capital of Alaska is another obvious reason in its favor as the Coast Guard’s home port. But there is a lot to be done before we can hope for the nod of Coast Guard heads in our direction. “We must have a housing program,” Mayor Waino Hendrickson has said, “to balance the office building planned by Mr. Goldstein. Even without the con- templated Coast Guard headquarters, Juneau needs housing and with the possibility of Juneau securing Coast Guard headquarters, I would say we need 150 housing units at once.” (In spite of Juneau's great need for housing, the Mayor, who has investigated the matter, believes our town is not as short of places to live as other towns in Alaska.) Plans are in the making whereby cheap financing for rental housing might be obtained under Section 608 of Rental Housing of the National Housing Act. There are many “ifs” involved in any talk about a balanced building program for Juneau. “If” we get the Coast Guard. “If” we get a pulp mill. Granted, before important money—important for Juneau—is invested in office buildings or housing, there should be some assurance of its need. The Chamber of Commerce and the city is at- tempting to work out a balanced building program.

Then, with such assurance as impetus, Juneau must get on the ball and be ready for July 1, 849 when Alaska Coast Guard headquarters are to be re- established Please, Secretary Snyder, we can get to work. let us know quickly so Candidate Stock Seeks Alaska Support (Ketchikan Chronicle) Except for the fact that his posters don't quite do him justice (perhaps a Chronicle engraving would have helped) it can probably be said that Candidate R. H. Stock of Anchorage made a favorable impression here in his first day of campaigning for Bob Bartlett's seat in Congres The Anchorage Republican surprised us with his candor on some questions of public interest. As a | matter of fact, we were surprised at his knowledge of some issues, and suspect that he had some sage advice in writing his talk. But that is, as experience 'has shown, the mark of a smart candidate, that he does solicit and accept wise counsel. It is the out- standing difference between Tom Dewey and Harry Truman. The latter, at what looked like the twilight stage of the New Deal and with small salaries to pay, was unable in the past two years to recruit good men for key positions. Likewise he has been hard put to Ifind men to advise and work for him in the current icampuipn. | Stock’s clear-cut statement against fish traps will go well with the majority of Ketchikan fishermen, who are waging war on the traps. It will not go well with most of the packing industry which has influence in Washington, D. C. and hopes to have more with {Dewey. But the industry, if it wins the fish trap | referendum, plans to go back to Congress and remind {that body that, at the behest of Delegate Bartlett, it |held up passage of the 20-year fish trap leasing bill until the Alaska referendum. So it may be concluded | that the referendum’s outcome will have much more |influence on Congress than the Alaska Delegate, no matter which party he belongs to. | Mr. Stock is not a pompous individual, nor does | he seem to be, as some have claimed, an opportunist | hoping to ride into office on Dewey's coattails. He | has been successful in his contracting business, he has | ibeen in Alaska long enough to see things as probably | | the majority of Alaskans see them, and he pledges | himself to work along those lines. His talk indicates that he is not representing any special interests. Thus it may fairly be concluded that the way |Alaska is going will not be materially changed if {Mr. Stock is elected. He favors statehood, as does {Bob Bartlett. He favors development as does Mr. i Bartlett. He favors stable shipping and many of |the other things the incumbent favors. i We are convinced, incidentally, that Mr. Stock {will not make the grade. Alaska has a way of stick- {ing to men who have done a good job in the Dele- igate's office and Mr. Bartlett's record has been un- jsurpassed. Even from the Republican Congress which recently closed its session, he did better in wrangling lappropriations than any other Delegate has done. But it is only fair to say that Mr. Stock is'a man of | good appearance and integrity and that if the Dewey |trend should sweep him into office, Alaskans by and large would not need to worry too much. We hope, | however, that if he or his friends quote us, they do not lift the last sentence above out of its context. | This is merely an analysis of the Stock claim for sup- {port.
