He is scheduled to make a Labor Day address in Fairbanks. The delegate will be in Juneau for a longer stay on his return. Asked about progress of legis- lation affecting Alaska, Bartlett said today, “I am hopeful that, be- fore Congress finally adjour it | will appropriate the $10,000,000 re- quest granted in the Alaska Hous- ing Act. The Senate Appropriations Committee already has approved it. “At any time,” he continued, “the Bureau of the Budget is ex- pected to send to Congress a re- quest for a supplemental appro- priations bill for $2,000,000 in cash and $8,000,000 in contract authority for the Alaska Public Works Act. GSA TO COME HERE “If the appropriation is made, it is possible that some of the pro- jects may be started spring A committee of the General Serv- ices Administration would come here to decide which ones should be undertaken first. “By that bill, you know, the Fed- eral Government advances the total cost and is repaid varying per- centages of it, the general over- all average being 50 percent.” The measure, which was intro- duced [zy Delegate Bartleit, is the only Public Works Act now on the books for the entire United States. According to its author, it origi- nated in May, 1948, when President Truman presented the idea as an Alaska plank in his platform. Bartlett expects the signing “any minute” of the Public Land Sales bill as amended by the Senate. “The House bill was better,” commented the Alaska Delegate. “This bill,” he said, “should be of considerable assistance, as it pro- VOTE TUESDAY ON * TERM LENGTHS OF ~ MAYOR, COUNCIL Juneau citizens will go to the pells tomorrow to decide the length | of terms of mayor and councilmen. |The entire city will be considered |one precinct, and voters will cast their ballots in the Council Cham- bers of the City Hall from 8 am.| to 7 pm With Mayor Waino Hendrickson, the members of the present City: Council, who chose to put the mat- ter up to the people rather than| change the terms by the decision of six men, hope that every registered attending meetings today | voter will make it a real “people’s| choice.” A change in top officials terms of the city's is necessitated by and the In-|Chapter 36, S.L.A. 1949, which also | fixes the date of municipal elec- tions for Qctober.

The students and teachers ar- rived at the New York Internatiohal Airport last night on a Seaboard and Western Airlines plane. The Seaboard is ‘not authorized to fly from New York to Chicago. Some students said they had telephoned a Chicago travel agency last night and had been assured arrangements were being made for getting them back to Chicago today. Many of the students said they didn't have enough money with them even to eat. They pooled their cash and got coffee and sand- wiches at an airport restaurant last night. PFC.

Wallgren told a King County Democratic picnic gathering | yesterday he plans to return to Washington, D.C, within a month| —“possibly to take a Federal posi- tion.” He did not elaborate, tut friends said he may yet head the Na- tional Security Resources Board. They said Wallgren believes Presi- | dent Truman may be able to ap- | point him without Senate confir- mation under the new reorganiza- tion act recently approved by Con- gress. Wallgren's appointment to the post earlier this year was stymied by refusal of a Senate committee to report the matter out to the Senate floor. WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—(P— Senator Tydings (D-Md) said to- day that only through a recess appointment could Mon C. Wall- gren become chairman of the Na- tional Security Resources Board without Senate confirmation. A report from Seattle, Wash,, said Wallgren plans to return here in about a month. Friends of his there said the former Washington Senator and Governor believes President Tru- man may yet appoint him to the xey. defense post withdut necessity of Senate confirmation. They suggested this could be done un- der a new reorganization act passed by Congress. Tydings, who is chairman of the Senate Armed Services committee, gave his opinion when asked about this report. He told a reporter the revision of the *unification act, which set up the defense advisory board, retain- ed a provision requiring Senate confirmation for the board chair- man.
