COMPANY, LOUISVILLE. KENTUCKY
RATE HEARING IS
SET FOR SEATTLE
AT 10U/L MAY 7
A hearing has been scheduled on
Alaska Steamship Company’s rate
Increase on shipment of fish meal, J
in sacks, and fish oil between Se
attle and southeastern and south
! western Alaska ports.
The announcement of the hear
ing, to be held beginning at 10
o’clock on themorning of May 7 in
Seattle, follows action taken last
week by the Federal Maritime
Commission in stating that the in
creased rates, effective April 5, were
to be held in a separate account
“for the purpose of paying to ship
•pers such portions as the Board
may find to be unjust, unreasonable
or otherwise unlawful.”
A petition filed on behalf of
Alaska Herring Packers Association
and members requested that the
rate increases be suspended in the
belief they are in violation of the
Shipping Act of 1916.
The hearing will be conducted by
Federal Maritime Examiner F. J.
Horan at a place in Seattle to be
designated at a later date. The
notice of hearing issued by the
Federal Maritime Board requested
that all persons wishing to inter
vene in the proceeding notify the
Board on or before Apjril 23 and file
intervening petitions in accordance
with the rules of procedure.

DOROTHY PROJECT !
REPORT WILL BE
SUBMITTED SOON
A Bureau of Reclamation report
on the Lake Dorothy hydroelectric
power project near Juneau will be
brought up to date immediately and
presented to the Washington, D. C.
office before end of June, Joseph
M. Morgan, head of the Alaska BR
office said today. He returned last
weekend from Washington where
he had been conferring on Alaska
projects.
The Swan Lake project report
was reviewed favorably and minor
changes suggested. These will be
made soon and returned for further
review and submission to the Bur
eau of the Budget, Morgan said.
Swan Lake is near Ketchikan.
Investigations will be launched
immediately to find a low cost hy
droelectric power location in the
vicinity of Fairbanks, Morgan dis
closed.
A. E. Jasker, geologist for the
Bureau, returned aho from Anchor
age where he had been on investi
gations in connection with the Ek
lutna project in relocating the in
take for the tunnel through Goat
Mountain. Depths of deep glacial
moraine deposits in the region of
the proposed intake make the lo
cation change necessary.
At the same time, Ray Severing,
electrical engineer in charge of
power utilization, spent last week in
the Anchorage and Palmer areas
surveying anticipated power needs
for the coming ten years. He also
returned over the weekend.

HOUSING LOANS TO
VETERANS CONTINUED
The housing bill of 1951 which
has passed the Senate provides for
continuation of the direct housing
loan program for veterans through
June 30, 1953.
Under the present law which is
due to expire June 30 of this year,
the Veterans Administration has
allocated $1,043,000 to its Seattle of
fice for such loans to Alaska vet
erans. Through February 25 of this
year 58 direct loan applications
from Alaska had been tentatively
approved in the amount of $485,000
with the remainder of the $1 mil
lion plus allocation assigned to Al
aska after that date.
The House some weeks ago con
sidered the House Banking and
Currency Committee version of the
housing bill of 1951 but sent it
back to committee where radical
revisions are expected to be made.
The Senate version which passed
will now go to the House.

COST OF ALASKA SEAL
SKIN COATS NOT GOING
TO INCREASE, REPORT
If it’s any consolation—Alaska
sealskin coats aren’t expected to go
higher in price the next few months
according to retailers. Statistics in
dicate that only about 8,000 women
throughout the world will be dir
ectly affected this year no matter
what the prices may be. That is
the number expected to buy Alaska
sealskin coats in 1951.
Another auction of the pelts was
conducted this week at St. Louis
In all, 25,740 skins were sold at an
average price of $100.69 each. This
was a climb of only a few cents over
last October, when spirited bidding
shot the average price 50 percent
ibove t{iflL tpi'irtg (if ’50. .
Stabilizing of prices at this au
ction doesn't mean seal coats are]
going to be cheap. On the average, I
seven skins go into every coat and
their cost represents only about 45
percent of the completed garment
at retail .
EXPLOSIVE ISSUE IS
TAKEN UP, COMMITTEE
Two executive hearings were
held la a week in Washington be
fore a special subcommittee of the
House Mei chant Marine and Fish
eries Committee io further consid
eration of the proposal to waive
Coast Guard regulations which
would allow the shipment of ex
plosives to central and interior Al
aska by way of Seward.
Rear Admiral Alfred C. Rich
mond, Assistant Commandant of
the Coast Guard, and Delegate
Bartlett were the principal witnes
ses before the subcommittee. It is I
expected that the subcommittee will
meet again at an early date in the
hope of arriving at a final decision.
Subsequent to the South Amboy |
explosion in New Jersey, custom
ary methods of unloading explo
sives at Alaska ports had been can
celled. Suitable arrangements, the
committee was told, have been made
at every port except Seward
through which flows the bulk of ex
plosives for defense construction
and for coal mining. Waiver of exv
isting reflations for Seward is re-,
quested until such time as perm-:
arient facilities can be built. The
mayor and city council of Sew ard •
have joiped in this request.
