was necessary for 'the whole
town »to get I behind a program
for community /betterment —
hence the citizens committee.
A wonkiable program must be
developed to com|plly with the
Housing Act of 1954. AHA
makes the necessiary surveys
then an application for funds
for an area determined to be a
slum district; this is prsented
to the housing and home fin
ance agency for -approval; if
approved funds are forthcom
ing. The acquisition of land
and relocation follows. No fin
ancial committments are in
curred 'by the city until a pro
ject goes into the second phase
If a project is financially
feasible, then the City of Sit
ka enters into a contract where
it pledges itself to ipay V5 of
the deficit of the project after
it is completed). Under such a
plan, land and improvevments
in a dlum area are bought at
a fair Value, the improvements
are demolished the land sold
in accordance with the master
plan. Once a slum area was
developed the city could get
back in tax revenue addition
al funds. The city’s V& share
may toe payable in kind —
which includes APW projects.
A question was asked Mr.
Gagnon if the term “project”
could be applied1 to several
areas not necessarily adjacent.
His answer made it apparent
that the whole area in which

He pointed ouit that an area
such as Front Street would 'be
entitled to demonstration gra
nt (funds, to be used as a pilot
point for similar re-location pro
jects in waterfront areas in oth
er southeastern Alaska cities.

legislation in congress, which
governor B. Frank Heintzleman
1 thinks has a good Chance to j
pass, getting title to the tide |

i He touched on the present 1
restrictions on F.H.A. loans, i
stating the director of the A.
HA. would go to Washington j
in October to ask these restric
tions ibe removed, so that Alas
kan banks would Ogam parti
cipate in suCh loans.
Assistance would be offered
re-located persons to get loans
or making available low-cost
housing on a rental or purchase
bahis. he said.
In condiusion he answered
the three usual questions rais
ed about such projects:
(1) Cost la won’t cost the city
J anything until they enter the
| final planning stage. A public
j hearing would be held, follow
ed by an election. Final appro
val must come from the public.
(2) Will people 'be thrown
out otf their homes if a project
is set up in their area? No one
is going to be evicted from their
property.
(3) When? At its best it would
be next year before the project
could Igio into the second phase
of the program anl from then
on, it depends on how long it
takes to acquire land.

NEWCOMBE HAS HARD
TIMB WINNING NO. 19 V
by: The Associated Press
Big Don Newcomlbe may
still! (be considered the ace of
the Brooklyn Dodgers- pitch
ing staff, but he must be won
dering today whether he’ll ev
er connect for his 19th victory
of the season.
Thanks to some power hit
ting by Carl Furilio and Duke
Snider, the Dodgers snapped
out of a slump last night to de
feat the Chicago Cuibs 6-4, but
Newcomibe wasn’t around for
the finish oThe Cuibs rapped
him for three runs in the sec
ond inning to go ahead, 4-3,
and Newcomibe retired in the
third inning with a strained
shoulder muscle.
It was his fifth shot at vic
tory No. 19 since he beat St.
Louis July 31 to run his sea
son’s record to 18-1. Don’s
mark is now 18-4.
The victory boosted Brook
lyn’s National league lead to
12 games over Milwaukee, de
feated 4-3 by the Philadelphia
Phillies.
The American league race,
meanwhile, continued on its
merry whirl with the Chicago
Wlhite, Sox taking over first
place by two percentage points
over the New York Yankees,
and the Boston Red Six only
3V2 games back in fourth place
Chicago regained first place
although splitting a twin bill
with the Baltimore Orioles,
winning the opener 6-2, and
losing the second game 10-3.
The Yankees committed five
errors, and Detroit thumped
New York 7-2, while Ted Wil
liams had another big night
driving in four runs as Bos
ton defeated the Cleveland In
dians 8-3. This left Cleveland
in third ipilace, a game behind
Chicago and New York, in a
virtual tie for first. Kansas
City edged Washington 4-3.
In other National league
tilts the St, Louis Cardinals
beat the New York Giants and
the Pittsburgh Pirates edged
the Cincinnati Red'legs, both
by 2-1 scores.
Newcomlbe, who had a 20-9
season in 1951, and was 19-11
in 1950, will be in shape to
pitch his next turn, the Cub
physician said. But getting No.
19 seems to tbe a jinx. Mil
waukee knocked him out Aug.
4, and although the Bums ral
lied to win, Newcomibe wasn’t
involved in the final decision.
Then he was beaten by the
Cubs 1-0 Auig. 8, and Robin
Roberts and the Phillies best
ed him in two 3-2 decisions
Aug. 14 and Aug. 19.
Don Bessent relieved New
comlbe and posted his sixth
victory without defeat when

The Portland Beavers are
rapidly becoming the Pacific

Wially Westlake hit a homer in
the sixth.
Don Fraoehia pitched the
San Francisco victory, but he
couldn't finish the game. Frac- j
chi a was leading, 3-1, in the t
ninth when Harvey Zernia hit
to first baseman Wayne Bel
ardi. Belardi threw to Frac
chia, covering first, umpire
Cece Oarlucci called Zernia
safe.
Fraoehia turned to question
Oarlucci, then slumped to the
ground with muscle cramps.
Reliefer Bill Bradford finished
the inning. Fraoehia also ac
counted for two Seal runs by
singling home Belardi and Sal
Taormina in the fourth.
Howie Judison started tihe
first game for the Rainiers butt
was lifted in the first, when
the Seals scored four nuns;.
Ewell Blackwell pitched most
of the way but Still Kennedy
