A. P. News Analyst
A >good miany American com
munities have just gone thru
a dilemlmla from which Russian
foreign minister Molotov would
have scared them if he’d been
the 'boss over here.
People in these communities
had to digest a bunch of per
sonal records, solemn or farcial
election campaign statements,
and try to select some employ
ees, commonly called officials,
to look taller public affairs.
The names of those selected
are ‘known Wednesday. The
real results in many cases, will
not be known for some time,
and may never be clearly and
publicly defined.
Some newly elected or recon
firmed officials will prove to
fee dedicated men, and of this
group some will succeed and
some will fail in their jobs.
Some, probably very few, may
read the eled ion results as a
license to steal the public blind
Some will be just ordinary Joes
fumbling along honestly but
unfruitfully in jobs sought be
cause they didn’t have much
else to do.
Bui: they will be the chosen
representatives of their com
munities in the fields assign
ed to them.
To secure these representa
tives, the people have ‘"chaosed
up” sides, and in some cases
they have gd ten pretty bitter
about it.
Secretary Dulles admitted at
Geneva the other dav that
there is a risk in such elections
that the people will choose
wrongly. But otherwise, under
the communist single-ballot sys
tern where people vote only for
the nominees of one parfv, it’s
no choice at all. he pointed out
'Molotov was pained. In Rus
sia, he said, “we conduct elec
tions bv single lists and we are
not sorry about that df all.” It
builds up unity, he added. He
certa'iny (wasn’t (going to stand
by and see reunification of Ger
miany through an election
which did1 not build uro unity.
Before that, he’d let Germany
stand dismembered forever.
He might have added that
the Russian government could
not sponsor an election system
in Germanv which if wouldn’t
dare extend to the peoples it
rules.
He (wouldn’t understand, eith
er, haw the United States was
jonceved in such disunity that
many of the original colonies
refused to join it for a long
time, nor how so many people
rame from Europe to practice
the disunity which they were
uot allowed at home, _ ^ ^
He migW; sneer at the lack
off “efficiency” of the Ameri
can way, and wonder Show such
people as those elected Tuesday
could actually be members of
a system which has produced
more good for more peope in
a shorter length of time than
any other political system in
hid ory.
Know land charges
kbor chiefs would
capture Demos
MIAMI t/P) Sen. Knowland
(R-Calif) said Tuesday some la
bor leaders hope to capture
the Democratic party and gain
control of tihe government by
I860, if not in 1966.
Knowland. the senate Repub
lican leader, said in a speech
prepared for the U. S. Savings
and Loan League that the peo
ple and congress are going to
watch how the leaders of the
combined AFL and CIO Oft
| tempt to wield political power
! “There are some in the
ranks of the new labor com
bine who visualize’ taking con
trol olf the Democratic party
as they have in Michigan and
making it into the American
equivalent of the British La
bor party.” he declared,
i “They hope by capturing a
great existing party to retain
the name, the tradition and the
ties and loyalties of genera
tions. By 1960 if not in 1056,
they plan thereby to gain con
trol over the governmental
structure of this country. This
is not in the best interest's of
labor or the nation as a
whole.”
Rowland, who probably
will seek the Republican pres
idential nomination if Presi
dent Eisenhower doesn’t ruh,
1 bus joined chairman Goldwa
ter (Ariz) of the Republican
senatorial oampaiign committee
in criticizing political activi
ties of labor leaders.
Goldwater said lin a recent
report that “CIO goon squads”
had been used in gaining
what he contended was labor
control over the Democratic
party organization ■ in Michi
gan. His Charges labor leaders
were planning nation-wide
“massive use of political slush
funds” were denied by union
leaders.
Knowland’s support of the
Goldwater then indicated
that a substanl ial bloc of Re
oublicans may be ready to
flight openly the labor leaders
they contend are always back
ng Democrats.

City council
FHA is available at attrac
tive discount rates once an
area has been approved, the
council Was told. Also the A
HA will make every effort to
interest private industry in
building both new housing and
low-cost rental units.
lit would take about a year
before a project could be got
ten underwiay and probably
would require five years to
complete. A public hearing
miudt be held by the city coun
cil before the plan is adopted
by the dity; then it is certi
fied by the government.
Two areas were discussed:
Front street residential areas;
and the area bounded by Ca
thedral Way, Seward, mid-way
to Observatory Street, to F.
Street, across C !lo Baranof
and down Baranof to liincoln
Street. Not all buildings in
: that area are sub-standard —
| — some are outstanding and
others need only renovation;
while some are elderly and in
capable of repair.
Under such a plan, the AHA
would interview everv family
in the proposed district, de
termine tiheir preference as to
type of housing and average
income. It was stressed that
low-cost rental housing is
sharply restricted according to
income and only a minimum
of these dwellings should be
constructed
It was pointed oult the coun
cil, by resolution, would have
to authorize an application to
the AHA to make a prelimin
ary survey. There would be no
obligation upon the part of the
city until such time as a con
tract for the actual work on
the project was executed.
