professors:
Herbert J. Phillips, assistant
orofessor of philosophy; Joseph
Butterworth, associate professor
in the English department, and
Ralph Gundlach, associated pro
fessor of psychology.
Phillips and Butterworth said
they had appealed to the AAUP.
The other three are Harold L.
Eby, professor of English; Gar
land Ethel, assistant professor of
English, and Melville Jacobs, as
sociate professor of anthropology.
All have said they were once com
munist party members. The board
ruled they must sign affidavits
that they are not party members
now.
The accusations resulted from a
hearing by the legislative un- ;
American activities committee
here last summer. All six were
called before the committee.
Dr. Allen has left Seattle for
Washington. He said he plans to
discuss the case with executive of- >
ficers of the AAUP.
Kotzebue Housing
Project Planned
By Native Service
<Juneua Empire)
The Alaska Native Service is
planning a rehabilitation project
for Kotzebue, which will include
the construction of houses, sani
tary facliities, water supply, and
arts and crafts workshop center in
the village. T otal estimated .cost
of the project is $325,000 and Con
gress will be requested to grant a
supplemental budget appropria
tion for the project.
Charles Mountjoy, director of
the Native Resources division,
said that it is hoped that appropri
ations can be received for rehabil
itation projects in a great number
of Alaskan villages. The homes
will be sold to the natives either
through the issuance of grants or
on low interest loans.
For the past two years, mem-1
bers of the American Medical As
sociation, have made a tour of in- 1
spection in the Territory, and have
recommended that a housing pro
gram be instituted to aid in the
health program.
At the present time, there are
400 Eskimos residing in Kotzebue.
