Because of the cash shortage in the Territorial treasury, the meeting of the board, scheduled for Juneau next Monday, September 26, has been can- celled. Hellenthal estimated that the action would save the Territory about $3,000 which it for a session the four divisions of Alaska. “I polled the members and they were all agree- ! able to the indefinite postponement,” Hellenthal said. “We hope to be able to transact all the work of the board by mail, instead.” Funds for the board come from monthly payments from the Territorial treasury and at frozen “The board has money available that could finance the meeting, but the cancellation wil Hellenthal said.

But| there is no concern about the blood of our two countries being of the the same type.” THANKS TO GEORGE III Then the British Foreign Sec- | retary referred to King George III, | whose tyranny started the Revolu- tionary War. “There is a picture of George III hanging on the wall of the foreiggy ' office,” twinkled Bevin! “Every morning I used to lift up my eyes and thank George IIL For, if it hadn’t been for him, the United States wouldn't have been populous or wealthy enough to help win the war.” But Bevin was dead serious as he added: “There are some who be- lieve we are still living in the age of George III. It has been spread around that we are an old nation, but I want to tell you we are no¢ old. We are young and vigorous.” G “THE RED FLAG” During the lunch, Secretary of State Acheson recalled how he and Bevin had met in the elevator one morning on the way to a cru- cial meeting with Soviet Minister Vishinsky at the Paris conference. Leaving the elevator, the U.S. Sec- | retary of State and the British Foreign Minister walked arm in arm down the long corridor singing “The Red Flag.” This brought a warning from Senator Elbert Thomas, Utah Dem- ocrat, that Acheson had “better not let the FBI know about that.” | “Oh, T can protect him,” offered Bevin the words. He just went along ‘tra- la-la-la-la."” V. P’s “DOMESTIC AFFAIRS” Senator Connally came up with another subtle crack about the widow from St. Louis when he in- troduced Vice President Barkley. “Barkley used to be a member of the Foreign Relations commit- tee,” explained Connally, “but re- cently he has taken more interest in domestic affairs” The Senator from Texas lost his good humor, however, by the time Senate majority leader Scott Lucas rose to speak. The speeches had begun to drag, and Lucas suggest- ed: “Mr. Chairman, “I think it is about time for us to go. I don't have anything to say.” “Well, if you feel that way, you can go!” snapped Connally. Lucas reddened, but went ahead with a two-minute speech. The only other difference was over the steak. Senator Buurke! Hickenlooper of Iowa announced “Mr, Acheson didn't know |Johnson will soon eliminate 30,000 ! ly emerged from the House badly mangled by the real estate lobby, with the aid of their friend, G.O.P.| Representative Jesse Wolcott of | Michigan, plus a deft assist from | American-Laborite Vito Marcanton- io of New York. What few people, except those di- rectly affected, realize is that al- most one-third of the nation's fam- ilies have incomes insufficient t enable them to rent or buy decent | homes under current sky-high housing costs.* And the public housing bill re- cently passed by Congress doesn't help this middle-income group, who earn from $2,000 to $3,750 a year. It provides rental housing and slum clearence only for families in low-/ er-income brackets. i The Sparkman bill is aimed pri-( marily at helping these $2,000- $3,750 families, chiefly war vets, by’ direct government low-interest loans under a cooperative arrangement similar to the government's financ- ing of rural electric cooperanves.l However, by some skillful parlia- mentary maneuvering at a time when 340 members were absent—| most of them attending the swear-| ing-in of Tom Clark to the Su- preme Court—the real estate lobby struck this important section from the House bill, However, the Senate is still to be heard from, and forthright Sen- ator John Sparkman of Alabama | is confident he has the votes wl reverse the House sellout to the real estate lobby.
