ity council veto if that is the only
way to bar the Chinese commun
ists.
In a seperate interview, Senator
H. Alexander Smith (R.-N. J.)
called on secretary of state Ache
son to make it clear at once that
the United States will use every
means at its command to keep the
Chinese communists out of the
U. N.

Many New Homes
Planned For
| Anchorage
| SEATTLE, (/P) — Alaskan con
| struction plans which will bring
, hundreds of new homes to An
chorage soon at a cost of about 15
million dollars, were announced
here Saturday by Harry Lewis,
largest housing contractor in the
Territory.
A critical housing shortage has
1 long cripled Alaska’s largest city.
Lewis is the first contractor to re
spond to federal urging of large
scale residential construction in
the vital Alaskan defense center.
The new work, which will in
elude both individual homes and
apartment houses, will be in addi
tion to two large housing projects
now being completed by Lewis
and his associates for the army at
Fort Richardson, and for the Alas
ka Railroad. The two projects
fere financed with Reconstruc
tion Corporation loans.
The new work will be largely
channeled through the Federal
Housing Authority with the Seat
tle National Bank of Commerce as
the lending agency. Lewis and his
partner, Myer Lurie, and Lurie’s
san, Melvin, are the principals in
the contracting companies.
The new projects which will be
started this year, are the Holly
wood Block of 360 units; Jeffer
son Court, Linda Court and Third
Ave. apartment house, each of 100
units, and Goose Lake, a 500-hom^
subruban development.^ In addi
tion, a complete, modern shopping
center will be erected at Goose
Lake.
The Third Ave. Apart m e n t
House may be increased to 25f)
units, Lewis said. Conferences
with C. C. Staples, Alaska F.H.A.
director who has led the struggle
for new housing will det,ermine
the final plans.
Utilities heat and water will be
included in a one-package rental
arrangement. Lawis has overcome
the high cost of utilities in his
Fort Richardson and Alaska Rail
road projects by building them
around a central plant which will
supply all services. The units have
full basements, automatic wash
ers, dryers and mangles. Kitchens
are furnished with electric stoves
and refrigerators.
Lewis stockpiles supplies and
equipment in Anchorage -ware
houses by averaging shipments of
28 carloads of material from Seat
tle every week. His construction
goes on the year around. Concrete
and other exterior work is com
pleted during the good weather
and interior work performed in
winter.
The Seattle contractor started
in the business at the bottom as
a $3 a week laborer on the side
walks of New York, and moved
to Seattle in 1925. He built several
of the present apartment houses
on Queen Anne Hill, as well as
many public school buildings,
banks and other structures in
western Washington and Oregon.
