SATURDAY 1 P.M. Edition VOL. LXXIII, NO. 11,278 “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIR JUNEAU, ALASKA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1949 MEMBER A SSOCIATED PRESS SATURDAY 1 P.M. Edition PRICE TEN CENTS New Charge Made Against Truman’s Aide APARTMENT'S BUILDER ASKS FOR FHA AID Construcion of 84-Unit Building to Start Within Month Construction is expected to start within a month on an 84-unit| apartment building here, according to Federal Housing Authority offi- cials and others closely connected with the project. Formal application, complete with the necessary documents, was made for a $991,000 F.H.A. loan a few minutes after G. R. Sumpter reached Juneau yesterday from Seattle. According to John H. Carter, Jr., acting FHA director for Alaska, the application (for an insured mort- | gage under Section 608) will be pro- | cessed speedily, and probably com-!{ mitted Lefore September 1. It will be handled by the National Bank of Commerce. Sumpter, who is president of the! Washington Mortgage and Insur-| ance Company, represents Martin Anderson, Seattle contractor whoj is putting up the seven-story build- | ing at an estimated cost of $1,- 126,000. i “ The new structure, which will| help ease Juneauw's critical housing problem, will be on a 100x100-foot site on the northeast cormer of| Fourth and Franklin streets. It will be of fireproof, steel and concrete construction, and will in-| clude a 25-car garage. Rentals will range from $80 to $125, depending on the size and location. Units will be two- and '.hree-I room “efficiency” apartments, the largest having one bedroom. How- ever, the apartments are so de-| signed that two single-bedroom | apartments can be converted into one unit with two bedrooms and one bachelor apartment. | Construction should begin some- time in September, according mi Carter, who expects all financial arrangements to be completed by September 1. § Foss and Malcolm, Juneau a:chl-] tects, are associated with Earl Mor-| rison & Associates, Seattle, while Raymond Wright of Seattle is at- torney for the project. | Walter Hutchinson, attorney for) the Western Zone of the FHA, with headquarters in Portland, Ore., ar-; rived with Sumpter, and tcok part| in yesterday’s conference. |a starter. | relief role. | the fourth place Braves ty a frac-| |the second game, SENATORS SHUT OUT BY KINDER By JOE REICHLER | Ellis Kinder, dropped by the New | York Yankee organization eight| years ago, is finally paying off on| the $65000 investment made on| him by the Boston Red Sox in| 1947, | Entrusted with few starting| assignments the 35-year-old Kin-| der showed only a mediocre 4-4 record by June 12 this season. ‘Then, without warning, Kinder got hctter than the mid-summer weather.

The Red Sox couected only s-xw hits themselves, but benefitted by | Dick Weik’s wildness to tally six runs in three innings to win their | eighth straight from the Senators. The victory enabled the Bosox to remain four games behind the pace- | setting Yankees, who came from/| behind to defeat the Philadelphia Athletics, 7-4. It also kept them in second place, a game in front of the Cleveland Indians, who shuti out the Chicago White Sox, 2-0. ] NATIONAL LEAGUE - | The National League pennant race is all knotted up again follow- ing Brooklyn’s victory and St. Louis’ defeat last night.

To be known as Turnagain Arms, the project will have 418 on-post] apartments at Fort Richardson, and 264 more across the bluff road on Alaska Railroad Company property. Turnagain Arms is a planned| grouping of two-story buildings in a garden-type grouping with lawns and winding driveways. Units will have one and two bedrooms.

The Washington Merry - Go-Round (Copyright, 1949, by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) By ROBERT 8. ALLEN, Substi- tuting for Drew Pearson, Who Is On Annual Vacation. i‘ ASHINGTON— There is little; of commendable note in the record of the “Eighty-worst” Congress, but it is outstanding in one re- gard. That is the group of able, dyna- mic and courageous new members in the House. Most of them are Democrats, due to the big over-turn last year. Representing all sections of the country, most of them are young. But regardless of age, party or region, all have one thing in com- mon. They are liberal-minded. ! Also, the most forceful among them are war veterans. Whether this service is the cause of their militancy is conjectural. But it is a fact that these men, who fought for democracy in combat, are tak- ing democracy very seriously in public office. As freshmen, they are nominally | eration.

Connally, acopting a no-com- promise attitude, came out for re- storation of the full amount of $1,160,990,000 tor military supplies | for North Atlantic treaty sign-| ers. The House cut that total ex- | actly in half. But Connally seemed unlikely to| be able to muster a majority of the Senate Foreign Relations and Arm- ed Services committees, over which he is presiding, for reinstatement of the full fund. Senators Vandenberg (R-Mich) (R-NY) stood firmly | on their demand for a reduction to | a round $1,000,000,000. And even Chairman Tydings (D-Md) of the| Armed Services group talked in| terms of the same amount. Critics of the program applaud- ed the House action. Senator Byrd (D-Va) called the slash “a step in the right direc-| tion.” On the other side Senator Gur-| ney (R-SD) said he wants an nde-! quate amount made available. But | he said he wasn’t wedded to any| particular figure. SHOWDOWN, RED STRIKE IN FINLAND HELSINKI, Finland, Aug. 20.— (P—Finland’s Central Trade Union | Federation has acted against the Communist-led uhions’ growing | offensive. It ordered them to can- | cel their strike call or face expul- sion. The move, which threatened to split the Federation wide open, | came on the heels of a government | crackdown on the nationwide strike | offensive which already has caused bloodshed. By a vote of eight to five, the| Federations’ executive comimittee | decided to order four striking un- | ions to call off their walkouts be- fore Aug. 23 or get out of the Fed- The move was directed against the Dockers, Food Workers, Build- ing Construction Workers, and the Forestry Workers’ and Loggers’ Un- ion. The Federation made it clear that the Textile, Leather, Shoe and Rubber Workers Union, who also have scheduled strikes, would be kicked out if strike calls are not | cancelled. Boy Drowns in Inferior Lake; Tin Boat Sinks FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Aug. 20.—® —Edward Wiehl, 17, drowned Thurs« day in a lake four miles northwest of Rampart. He and a companion were crossing the lake when their tin boat sank in rough water. The other boy managed to reach shore. Wiehl lived at Rampart, 120 miles northwest of Fairbanks. AIRPORT PAVED The recognized affinity -between sunshine and paving again was demonstrated yesterday. Given fine, dry weather, work was completed on the 2,000-foot strip from Glacier Highway to the Municipal Building, as well as pav- ing the area in front of the build- ing entrance.

TFEDERAL AGENCIES SHIFTED Sireamlining in Reorgani- zation Plan Report- ed Effective WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—®— Seven federal agencies were shift- ed or streamlined today. That just about completes government reor- ganization for this year. No more major changes are likely until 1950. Congress and President Truman, by means of five laws and six reorganization plans, have gone part of the way in carrying out the recommendations of tne commis- sion headed by former President Herbert Hoover. Robert L. L. McCormick, director of the Washington office of the Citizens Committee for Reorgani- zation—an outfit created to work for the Hoover Commission’s pro- posals—told a reporter: “The accomplishments up to now have far exceeded our expectations, but scme of the most important legislation is still before us and the road is long.” Here is the score for 1949: Six reorganization plans took ef- fect (technically at midnight last night). The U.S. Employment Ser- vice and certain other functions moved into the Labor Department. The Bureau of Public Road mov- ed into the Commerce Department. The No. 1 officials in the Post Office Department, Civil Service Commissfon, and Maritime Com- mission got more administrative au- thority. The National Security Resources Board and National Security Coun- cil became parts of the Executive Office of the President. Several of the many government agencies in Alaska are concerned in the shifting or streamlining pro- gram, FOREIGN WAR VETS CONVENE IN MIAMI (By Assocated Press) Veterans of three wars have start- ed to jam the resort citv of Miami for the Golden Jubilee Convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Between 25 and 30 special traing bringing in most of the 25,000 dele- gates and their families began ar- riving in Miami today. FLOATING CLIXIC STAFF LEAVES FOR YUKON The medical staff for the Yukon Health, the Alaska Department of Health's new floating clinic for the | Yukon River area, left yesterday by plane, bound for St. Michael. There, they will board the big shallow draft craft which was towed earlier this month by Navy tug from here across the Gulf ot Alaska and into the Bering Sea. Dr. Roger Witzel, field physi- cian, will direct operations in the field for the clinic which will ply up the Yukon until the freeze up and begin similar work again next season. His wife, Mrs, Norman Witzel will act as public health nurse. Miss Gayle Bachelder, lab- oratory technician who has been working on the Health Depart- ment’s M. V. Hygiene, will take over iab work aboard the Yukon Health. FOUR LEFT 10 GET PAY CHECKS FROM AJ MINE All hut four miners have been found who received pay from the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Co. under the judgment handed down under the split-day method. The four are Modesto L. Pagaran, Virgil J. Newell, Lynn E. Pope and Thomas A. Taylor. They were members of the International Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers Local 203. The amount paid to each of the men by the Alaska Juneau Mining Co. was for the period extending from October 5, 1939, to April 30, 1941, when the split-day method of paying wages was in effect. 'VARIED MATTERS " OF BETTERMENT - GCCUPY COUNCIL | | Oil and water did mix, as did la variety of other unrelated sub- | Jects last night—because they came | up for consideration at the regular | meeting of the City Council. | Ol? Contracts for hauling fuel oil to the several city properties. | Bid-opening disclosed identical | bids for service to the A.B. Hall and | the Airport Building. A toss of the | ccin gave the contract to Alaska Transfer. As low bidder for serv-| ing the City Garage and Harbor Way shops, Health Center; graders and pile drivers, and the City Hall, Caro Transier was awarded those contracts. Water? The Juneau Water Com- | pany filed a schedule of rm.es! somewhat above those paid over a period of years. The council voted to engage C. J. Enrendreich, CPA,| to make a comparative anal; fer later consideration. Election Officials The council approved the names of clerks and judges to serve at the August 30 election which will} determine the length of terms for | mayor and councilmen. | Clerks will. be Mrs. Dewey Bak- er, Mrs. L. G, MacDonald and Mrs. Bert Lybeck. Judges named are! Mrs. Gudmund Jensen and Mrs. Eva Nygard. An unusual situation was resolv- ed in one motion when the coun- cil voted to waive penalties, in- terest and unpaid balance of taxes for the Alaska Housing Authority, on the Channel Apartments. The property has been carried on delinquent tax rolls, but as it is Government property, it is not taxable. The AHA, however, pays a service charge in lieu of taxes, in order to have fire and police protection, No Parking Area On the request of Police Chief Bernie Hulk, presented by Assistant Police Chief Frank D. Cavanaugh, ! the council voted to make Fifth; Street, between Main and Frank- lin Streets a “No Parking” area for use by school buses and ser-| vice vehicles. This regulation will| be effective from 8 am. to 5 p.m. except on Saturday, Sunday and | holidays. Right Of Way Transfer A resolution was passed empow- ering Mayor Waino Hendrickson to complete a right of way agreement by which the city gives the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company perpetual right of way to a narrow triangular strip of land on Eighth Street, for construction and main- tenance of a water pipe line. Council memkbers voted to au- thorize Robert Boochever to repre- sent the City at a meeting of the Methddist Episcopal Church in New York City, out of which decision is expected on the site of the pro- posed Methodist College. Booch- ever, who is going East anyway, will be asked to urge selection of Juneau as the location, strongly | supported by the City Council and the Chamber of Commerce. Ski Club Request The request of the Juneau Ski Club, through Neil Taylor, Presi- dent, for use of a room in the A.B. Hall, was turned over to the City | Property Committee, headed by Ed- ward Nielsen. Similar requests without, however, offers to pay rent, have been received from several other clvic groups. | | The Ski Club would like to use the room for teaching “dry” ski- ing, and the care and waxing of skis as well as for ski storage. Among other matters discussed were further street improvements and clean-up, the water system and ! lease details for the Airport Build- ing, operation of the City Dock,| and a request from G. R. Churchill | concerning space for a taxicab stand. | All six council members were | present, with Mayor Hendrickson,‘ City Clerk Jack Popejoy and City Attorney Howard D. Stabler.

ARROWSMITH WASHINGTON, Aug. 20—(P— Senatorial sources said today that Maj. Gen., Harry H. Vaughan once gave an Agriculture Department official “particular hell” about a grain rationing order after alcoholic beverage makers reportedly com- plained about the edict. Senate five percenter investiga- | tors already have been told that Vaughan, who is President Tru- man's army aide, intervened at the department in another case in 1946. The testimony was that Vaughan at that time tried unsuccessfully to aid a New Jersey molasses com- nany accused of violating sugar ra- tioning. ¥ The account of intervention by Vaughan in the grain rationing case came separately from two officials who did not want to be identiiied. ‘Their stories are sub- stantially the same. Apart from those sources, Senator Mundt (R-SD) told newsmen he has heard reports about the mat- ter. He sald he plans to ask for an investigation by the special Senate subcommittee conducting the five percenter inquiry. Mundt is a member of the group, which 15 ¢hecking “on ~whether improper influence has figured in the hand- ling of government business. 1OUT, 3INON ALASKA COASTAL "FRIDAY FLIGHTS Alaska Coastal Airlines on flights i yesterday had 24 passengers on in- terport flights, 41 departing Juneau and 23 arriving for a total of 88.
