I To Be Completed
SEATTLE, (JP) — Authorizat m
j for a $500,000 expenditure to per
■ mit completion of the 96-unit vet
erans emergency housing projec
! at Anchorage, Alaska, was an
nounced yesterday by Jesse Eb
stein, regional director of the, fed
I eral public housing authority.
Enstein said that a no‘:c« to
ceed is being issued to the ex
tractor and that work w'lt v>'
sumed immediately. witu t1'*!
pectation of completing the p >
ject before winter.
Authorized under Title V of the
Lanham act which made fede~*!l
funds available for re-use of w*
housing to provide emerge’! y
housing for veterans, the proiec*
was undertaken last October
Completion was scheduled in
March, but in December 'h" !-o
ject was suspended when rising
construction cqsts and lack of
funds forced a ten per cent "n
duction in the program nationally.
A $350,500 deficiency appropri
ation bill is now pending in Con
gress to permit resumption of
most of the cut-back units. Spe
cial action was taken by PHA on
Anchorage, however, to make the
$500,000 available immediately.
Epstein said, since further delw
might prevent completion of the
project before winter.
The total amount of the Anchor
age contract is $710,000 of which
$208,000 was expended before the
project was suspended. The con
tractors are Lytle, Green and
Mathes.
“What d’ya say, Jim. we get
our wives together tonight and
have a big time?”
“Okay, Joe: where’ll we leave
them?”

May Buy Gold
Without License
<(yP) Special Washington Service*
WASHINGTON. (/P)—Rep. En
gle <D.-Calif.* said yesterday he
has been advised by the treasury
department that gold in its natural
state may be bought and sold for
domestic use without a license.
“The effect of this ruling,” En
gle said in a statement, “is to give
a free market for domestic gold in
its natural state—gold which has,
not b^en melted, smelted, refined
n'horwi.-e treated by heating or
by chemical oi* electric process, i
“The treasury buys and sells
gold for S35 an ounce and it has'
been generally believed that all,
gold, whether in its natural state
or treated, could be sold only to
the treasury.
“With rising costs of material
and labor, many gold operators
have been unable to make a profit
at this figure, and it is well known
that gold is commanding a much
higher price in foreign countries
and in the black market in this
country.
“It may be possible in view of
this interpretation by the treasury
for gold miners legitimately to
realize a higher price for their
product as long as it is sold in its
natural state.”
