Alaska Gets
"Green Light** On
Public Utilities
JUNEAU i/P)—Governor Greun
mg’s office said today Alaska has
been given the green light from the
General Services Administration
in Washington, D. C., to proceed
with its public works act.
The act, passed by the last leg
islature, is desiged for improve
ment and construction of public
utilities. It will be put into effect
immediately, with establishment
of headquarters here.
The act furnishes an appropria
I tion of $70,000,000 for a long
range program, with $1,000,000 in
cash available at once, and $4,000,- i
000 in contractual authorization. ;
Four GSA representatives from
Washington will arrive here Nov. j
20, open an office and begin talks 1
with Juneau officials. This group
will be replaced soon afterward
with a permanent staff.
Public works applications will
be received by the Juneau office,
the work processed and — when
approved by the Governor as de
sirable—will be sent to Washing
\ ton for final approval.
The act provides for a setup of
: funds to 25, 50 or 75 percent of
I the cost of a public works project.
Juneau will ask for 50 per cent
funds for sewage, city hall, jail, li
brary and school building im
provements.
All communities will be per
mitted to submit applications for
funds for public utilities.
WASHINGTON, </P)—'The Gen
eral Services Administration will
open offices in Juneau, Alaska,
next week in a move to get the
Territory’s $70,000,000 public
works program under way early
next spring.
The last session of Congress au
thorized a general public works
and community facility program in
Alaska. It appropriated $1,000,000
with a contract authorization of
$4,000,000 to get the program
started.
Col. A. D. Morrell, deputy com
missioner of community facilities,
will head a group which will
leave Seattle next Sunday, arriv
ing at Juneau that afternoon. He
will be accompanied by district
engineer John Argetsinger, who
will establish offices in the Terri
tory, and Lester Marx, an assist
ant.
Morrell told a reporter he plans
to set up an office in Juneau
which will employ 25 or 30 per
sons and to accept applications
i for the entire five-year program.
1 The program is based on the
i Territory, cities, and and local
groups repaying the government
; 50 per cent of the total cost while
the United States will contribute
; the other half of $35,000,000.
Morrell said applications for the
various projects must have the
concurrence of Alaskan governor
Ernest Gruening; and of the inte
rior department.
“We hope to get the applications
for the entire program listed and
work started in the current fiscal
year,” Morrell said. “With the
$1,000,000 cash and $4,000,0000
contract authority Congress gave
us we expect to get actual work
under way in late April or in May
of 1950.
“We plan to have follow us as
quickly as possible a staff of fi
nancial and legal experts to pro
cess the applications. We also will
recruit the force for our perman
ent office which will be set up.”

Coal Industry
Cold To Lewis9
Peace Feelers
(Continued from Page One)
against frequent mine shutdowns
and closer checks over miners’
welfare fund expenditures.
(By The Associated Press>
Most of the country’s steel firms
rusher preparations today for re
sumption of full production after
a long and costly strike but all
was too peaceful in the coal dis
pute.
John L. Lewis’ miners were
digging coal but he has threatened
to have them quit work Dec. 1 if
the operators and his united mine
workers fail to agree on a contract.
There was no scheduled meet
ing between Lewis and the soft
coal operators. Cyrus S. Ching, the
government’s chief mediator, had
arranged a meeting last week af
ter Lewis suspended the 52-day
old strike for three weeks. But
Lewis did not show up. A Lewsi
aide said the UMW chief would be
in Washington today ‘‘awaiting
the convenience of the coal opera
i tors.”
But the operators, in a deadlock
with Lew’is since last June, ap
peared lukewarm to the union
chief’s suggestion to talk business.
Ching was to report to President
Truman on the coal dispute and
most observers thought he favored
appointment of a Presidential
fact-finding board with power to
recommend a settlement.
With at least five steel com
panies signing strike-ending con
tracts over the weekend, less than
100,000 CIO steelworker^ remain
ed on strike.
