Alaska Gets New
G.S.A. Allotment
WASHINGTON, (/P)—The Gen
eral Services Administration an
nounced yesterday the allotment
to Alaska of an additional $200,
000 under a new program of ap
plications for federal loans for
the preparation of plans for pub
lic works.
It was described as a loan, with
out interest.
Alaska’s apportionment was in
creased along with four states be
cause the applications for loans
already exceed their previous al
1 locations. Alaska previously had
' been allotted $90,938.
j Jess Larson, General Services
administrator, explained that the
loans are to encourage state and
other public agencies to maintain
a reserve shelf of fully-planned
public works to be available
whenever theeconomic situation
might make construction desir
able.
Congress has reinstituted the
advanced planning program with
an authorization of $100,000,000
for planning loans for two years.

Further Research
In Alaskan
Agriculture
WASHINGTON, (/P)—'The agri
culture department plans to spend
$316,000 in the year starting July
1 on agriculture research in Alas
ka.
Dr. S. B. Fracker, research co
ordinator, described the depart
ment’s plan to a House appropria
| tions sub-committee in testifying
on the agriculture budget for the
next year. His testimony was
made public today.
He said the amount is $358,000
below the amount appropriated
for the current year because this
year’s money included $415,000
for buildings needed in the re-1
search. However, he added, the
joint research • program conducted
with the University of Alaska will
receive $50,000 more next year.
Other witnesses told the sub
committee that Alaska produces
only 15 per cent of the agricul
tural products it consumes and
that the principal cash crop is po
tatoes. During the 1949 calendar
year, they said, the army pur- j
chased 1,580,630 pounds of Alas-1
kan vegetables, the largest item
being potatoes.
They said the army could use
1,000 gallons of milk a day. Alas
ka can not produce it, they added,
but is building up its herds of
dairy and beef cattle.
Dr. H. C. Knoblauch, assistant
chief, office of experiment sta
tions, testified many people are
under the impression Alaska
soils are highly productive be
cause they are grass and wood
lands, similar to the United States.
‘That is not true under Alaska
conditions,” he said, “partly be
cause of the slow rate of chemical
and biological action in the soil
and also because many of the soils
have only a thin layer of top soil
which is relatively low in organic
matter.”
WILL ESTABLISH NEW WILD
LIFE UNIT AT U. OF A.
<(>P) Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Dr. Neil
W. Hosley will go to Fairbanks in
mid-March to become leader of
the Alaska cooperative wildlife
research unit of the fish and wild
life service.
Secretary of the interior Chap
man, announcing the appointment
today, said Hosley will set up the
new unit at the University of
Alaska under a cooperative agree
ment signed here last month.
The unit will train college stu
dents for jobs with federal, state
and Territorial agencies and pri
vate interests negaged in wild
life conservation and manage
ment.
It also will conduct investiga
tions and research upon which
wild-life management practices
will be based.
Hosley formerly was head of
the department of forestry and
wildlife management at the Uni
versity of Connecticut. He has
been chief of the section of wild
life investigations on public lands
for the fish and wildlife service
since 1946.
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa., oP) —
The Rev. Herman Humke and his
flock have agreed that Colleen
Townsend Sunday was an event
comparable only to the burning
of the church mortgage in 1937.
Colleen, the young movie star
who says she will forsake her
career to follow God, preached
the gospel from the pulpit of the
Presbyterian church here Sunday.
Her audience—numbering some
1200 who jammed the two morn
ing services—was enchanted. Nor
mal church attendance is 300.
“I really believe she is sincere,”
declared Mrs. Leone Lossman as
she echoed the sentiments of other
members of the congregation. “I
think she had a radiance of spirit
that’s real—it comes from with
in.”
