ALASKA BUILDINGS TO BE
MADE FIRE-RESISTANT
(Continued from Page One)
Bureau, said fireproofing of the
Bethel Hospital was being made
more difficult because the perma
frost condition in the area elim
inates all but frame construction.
He said pilings must be sunk in
the ice four or five feet and per
mitted to “stabilize” for about a
year before construction is begun.
“We cannot build a masonry
type of structure in the area,” he
testified.
Asked whether a sprinkler sys
tem would be built into the new
structure, he replied, “Yes.”
“Our estimates contemplate a
full sprinkler system and we will
use fire resistant materials where
ever it is possible.” He assured
the committee.
Greenwood said the Bureau pro
poses to replace the two-story,
67-bed hospital with a one-story,
70-bed facility.
Frang Degnan, Legislator from
Unalakleet reports that while in
Juneau his oldest daughter, Eve,
who has been going to school in
Mt. Edgecumbe and working in
the hospital there, was married to
Alden Ridley, off Ketchikan.
They will make their home at
Mt. Edgecumbe.

WASHINGTON, (£>)—The Sen
ate Expenditures Committee voted
today to approve a resolution de

ized Reconstruction Finance Cor

The committee announced the

voting with a solid wall of Repub
lican opposition to the proposed
reorganization.
The vote was on a resolution
proposed by Sen. CapeharttR-Ind.)

the president’s proposal to abol
ish jobs of the five-man RFC
board of directors and place the

Congress to abolish the RFC al
together.

WASHINGTON, (IP)— The Fish
and Wildlife Service estimated to
day that the 1950 catch of fishery
products in the U.S. and Alaska
was 4,900,000,000 pounds, only
slightly greater than in 1949.
The combination of an off-year
cycle for pink salmon in Puget
Sound and failure of the pink run
in southeastern Alaska caused an
unprecedented drop in the total
salmon catch, to 330 million lbs.
The 1950 pack of canned salmon
totaled 4,200,000 cases, 1,300,0Q0
cases less than in 1949.

or contaminated. They are being

strategic locations by the paper cup
and container industry and will be
available for disaster use by Civil
ian Defense, Red Cross or Public
