An. Facilities Services for planning con- struction of a new Territorial Building, it was announced today by John Argetsinger, head of the agency in Juneau. The sum announced yesterday as approved—amounting to $1,260,000 is only the applicant’s estimate of the amount required to erect the structure, he said, and is now in his hands, not having left his oftice yet. Informatis hat it had been ap- proved by Washington office came to The Empire through a sec- retary, who apparently was so ex- cited about the business that she got her signals crossed. Shortly after this was revealea, several other calls came to The Empire office telling of the “ap- proval.” These were from Chamber of Commerce executives and others interested in seeing the structure erected in the city. b corva, S Election Tomorrow i The Territorial Legislature last session approved $660,000 toward building a new “statehouse” with $60,000 of this set aside by thel Board of Administration to buy! the location of the present city hall, several city-owned vacant lots and the Arctic Brotherhood Hall. A special election is to be held tomorrow for voters to decide whether to turn over the property to the Territory for this amount. The City would use the money—if | voters say yes—to tear down pre- sent buildings on the property and purchase a site for a new city hall. Argetsinger explained that the $40,000 cash would be subtracted) from the final sum approved by | the government, whatever it even-: tually turns out to be. The npph-' cation may be over or under the| final amount used, as bids for the building may vary considerably from the estimated figure. The $1,-° 260,000 figure is an estimate, buf when building estimates get into the million dollar class, there is often considerable difference in the estimate and actual cost. 120 Days For rians Plans will probably take at least four months to draw up. These then must go with the application to Washington to be studied before approval is granted, Argetsinger ex- plained. ‘The story about the sum’s meet- ing with approval went out simply because The Empire was inforined wrongly—and for no other reason. This happens more often than is realized—and then the information- giver immediately jumps up to deny to friends and any listener that “the paper is wrong.” These persons never confront the reporter with this sort of false in- dignation, because of course they {ted of having lied in swearing he there are deadlines to meet, which | won't wait for anybody—even the| editor himself. | §500,000 LIBEL, SLANDER SUITS FILED BY BRIDGES SAN FRANCISCO, April 19—®-- Harry Bridges has filed a $500,000 libel and slander suit against the prosecutor who got him a five year prison sentence. Bridges’ suit, filed yesterday, says E. Joseph Donohue called him a liar and perjurer in a Monday luncheon address. Further, he charges, Dono- | hue said Bridges “made a contract with Communism” and was “play- ing an important part in the plan to bring about a revolution.” Donohue replied that his remarks were a fair statement of the evi- dence which recently convicted Bridges of perjury and conspiracy. Bridges, President of the CIQ Longshoremen’s Union, was convic- never was a Communist to obtain citizenship in 1945. He is free on| bond pending an appeal. Donohue was the government’s chief prosecutor at the trial. NEWS COVERAGE BY AP IS RESUMED IN CZECH NATION NOW LONDON, April 19—®—Partial news coverage by the Associated Press staff of Czech nationals at Prague has been resumed. but com- plete coverage still awaits accre- ditation of an American staff cor- respondent. Coverage had come to a halt be- cause of the continued failure of the Czech government to grant a visa to an American correspondent and because of the unaccredited Czech staff’'s reluctance to file news to the outside world. After consulting with government | to see it built anyway. STAPLES OF FHA DONATES $50 70 LIBRARY DRIVE While the Juneau Memorial Li- brary is being technically referred to as a ‘building,” or a “structure,” che man who runs the Federal Housing Authority in Juneau wants Clinton C. Staples, in charge of he agency for Alaska, presented a check for $50 to B. Frank Heintzle- man, regional forester, and head ot the library drive, over breakfast in ashington, D.C., it was learned her# today. A letter from Heintzleman to B. D. Stewart, acting chairman of the drive, informed him of the dona- tion and enclosed was the check. Both men are in the capitol on business for their respective agen- cies. Staples’ “housing” check brings the required amount down to $1,- 965.19 needed to complete the fund- raising campaign to okttain $70,000 for the structure, which sum will be matched by federal funds to build the structure. Heintzleman informed Stewart in his letter that he had called upon members of the Carnegie Founda- tion board of directors and made application for books to be alloted the library after its erection. The board meets sometime nexi month, Stewart understood, gnd will at that time make its decision on the application. When the founda- tion was created to give books to libraries throughout the nation, ter- ritories and other possessions were apparently inadvertently over- looked. This creates a technical problem of securing a grant, but it is believed the board will consider this oversight in reviewing the re- quest. With donations coming in at the rate of one a day for almost ten days, Stewart expressed hope of see- ing the needed sum drop downward | still further this week. So let’s have those checks or pledges—and don’t wait!
