Alaska Housing Program
Slashed Over Protests;
Curtailment Seen
By Frank W. Vaille
*
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17—M—The
House Appropriations Committee to
day approved an appropriation of
» $3,500,000 for Alaska’s housing pro
gram.—a cut of $1,500,000 below Pre
i sident Truman’s requested sum.
The slice came despite protests i
* of officials of the Housing and Home j
Finance Agency (HHFA). They test- |
ified earlier that a lack of federal
money would “soon curtail and de
lay urgently needed production” of
Alaska housing.
Jail Refused
The Appropriations Committee |
also rejected a request for $950,000 |
for a new jail at Anchorage.
Testimony by HHFA offictals was
, released today.
A. C. Newell, special assistant
to the HHFA commissioner, said
IS projects have been started since i
the act was passed In October,
1948.
Although Congress originally au
thorized a $15,000,000 revolving fund,
. only $10,000,000 has been actually
appropriated. The President recently
requested approval of the final $5,
000,000.
Purchases Bonds
Under the act, the IIHFA is !
authorized to purchase bonds of
the Alaska Housing Authority—
a territorial agency—to stimulate
housing construction in the terri
tory. It includes pre-construction
loans for the purchase of mater- j
ials, construction loans to private '
builders and actual construction
in smaller towns where private
builders are not interested.
More than half of the original1
$10,000,000 fund already has been •
committed in loans, Nowell said.
Loans now up for final approval
will use the balance of the fund.
In addition, some $6,000,000 in pro
jects have been given preliminary
screening.
Urgent Need
So urgent is the need for housing,
Newell asserted, that in several cases
in Anchorage purchasers have mov
ed into the basement without wait
ing for completion of the home.
Vernon E. Ilubka, HHF attor
ney, said the Alaska program
“contrary to many loan programs,
has suffered no loss to date, and
there is no evidence to believe
that we will suffer a loss.”
Hits Interest Rate
Private builders, he said, are glad
to get the money at the 41- percent
interest rate “because no one else
will loan any money in Alaska ex
cept at the rate of 8 percent.”
When Rep. Gore (D-Tenn.) crit
icized the 8 percent interest rate
as “unjustifiable” and “not only
poor banking but poor statesman
ship for the Territory of Alaska,”
Delegate Bartlett ol Alaska pointed
out the legal interest rate was form
erly 12 percent but had been cut
twice by the Territorial Legislature.
“But,” he added, “if the bank
rate in Alaska were one percent it
would not help in this particular
program one bit because the volume
of money necessary is not available
within those banks. .
JOSEPH PIPPIN DIES HERE
Joseph Pippin of Juneau, died
yesterday noon at St. Ann’s Hospit
al. He was 79 years old and came
originally from Missouri. No details
regarding survivors were available
today .

WASHINGTON.—Even as Con
gress is considering another $307
million for Chiang Kai-Shek, this
column has uncovered shocking,
documentary evidence about what
has happened to the last $125 mil
lion he received from the Ameri

fact is that huge sums have dis
appeared into private bank ac
counts, and additional, unneces

bp a series of middlemen.
For example, this column has
traced $444,708.53 right out of the

This money was supposed to pay

Reds Ready to

Informal Talks
Delegates Laugh, Pose
For Pictures, Hope tor
Settlement
MUNSAN, Korea, Aug. 17—(tfl— A
four-man subcommittee tackled the
Korean buffer zone deadlock today
amid official indications the Com
munists are ready to compromise.
The subcommitteemen declined tc
comment on what happened in their
first session—held in an unusual
air of informality for Korean truce
talks.
They scheduled their second ses
sion for 11 a.m. Saturday 14 p.m
today, Juneau time.)
When they adjourned United Na
tions and Communist delegates pos
ed for pictures together for the first
time.
While posing, Maj. Gen. Henry
I. Hodes, one of the UN represen
tatives, put his arm around North
Korean Maj. Gen. Lee Sang Cho,
The other two delegates—U. S.
Rear Adm. Arleigh Burke and Chin
ese Maj. Gen. Hsieh Fang—also ap
peared to be in good spirits.
While they were negotiating be
hind closed doors, their discus
sions were broken tt times by
outbursts of laughter.
The informal attitude—a complete
reversal of the cold military form
ality of all full degelation meetings
—strengthened an air of hopeful
mess brought to Kaesong by a Red
broadcast.
The Peiping radio quoted the
chief Comunist negotiator as saying
“it is possible to adjust” the Red
demand for a demarcation line
along the 33th parallel “on the basis
of terrain and mutual defense.”
MacArlhur Report
Voted Down as Peril
To Pew Tally .
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17—(/PI—
The Senate's MacArthur inquiry
committee voted 20 to 3 today
against making any report on its
two months of hearings.
Chairman Russel (D-Ga) told
reporters the majority feeling
was that any report at this time
on the firing of Gen. Douglas
MacArthur would only “revive
bitter controversy at a critical
period in the Korean peace
talks."
He said the decision against a
formal report was made on mo
tion of Senator Saltonstall <R
Mass).
However, it was decided to let
individual members file a state
ment of their views to be inclu
ded in the hearing record to be
transmitted later to the Senate.

Killing in Italy
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17— UtI —
Protesting their innocence, two
former servicemen have indicated
they will fight any attempt to send
them back to Italy for trial in the
death of their commanding officer
seven years ago.
And the Italian government has
taken no announced action to extra
dite them to face charges made by
the U. S. Defense Department that
they played key roles in the killing
of Maj. William V. Holohan behind
enemy lines in late 1944.
Holohan, head of an Office Strat-,
egic Services (OSS) mission which
parachuted behind German lines to
direct aid to partisans, disappeared
mysteriously.

Carl G. LoDolce of Rochester, N. Y„
with the help of two Italians. Both

Civil Defense
Fund Stripped;
Agency Rapped
WASHINGTON, Auf. 17—Oft—The
House Appropriations Committee
today stripped all but $65,255,000
out of the $535,000,000 fund which
President Truman requested for the
Civil Defense Administration.
In doing so, the committee rap
ped the agency for not developing
a “realistic, well coordinated” civil
defense plan which would guaran
tee “the people the maximum of
protection for the money expend
ed.” When that is done, it said.
Congress will supply the money.
The committee acted as House
leaders strove to speed passage of
other government money bills after
cracking a Senate-House deadlock
over the measures.
No Bomb Shelters
The committee refused to approve
any civil defense funds for bomb
shelters and other protective facil
ities and cut $150,000,000 from the
$200,000,000 requested for the pur
chase of medical supplies and equip
ment.
The civil defense budget was con-,
sidered along with those of a score
of other agencies In a supplemental
appropriation bill providing $1,677,
566,314—a total cut of $625,304,8001
from President Truman's request.
The committee approved $260,
000,000 of the $273,000,000 asked
by the Atomic Energy Commis
sion to speed up construction of
new facilities, ta test weapons and
to develop new type of reactors.
Another big allotment recommend
ed was $790,216,000 for stockpiling
strategic and critical material, for
which the President had requested
$800,000,000. *

For the first time in its history,
the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Ser

the next year's regulations are
made. Operators, fishermen and
all interested parties are invited
to attend to present briefs or tes
timony which are considered by
the service in drawing up future
regulations.
Baltzo added that another new
policy will be carried out this
year. The service will publicize
its proposals on regulations in
advance of the heaHhgs. Prr
pose of this action, he said, is
that witnesses appearing at the
hearings will be fully informed
and can be better prepared to
argue the pros and cons of its
proposals.

+ ANCHORAGE, Aug. 17— (A —
Another plane was missing today
In Alaska—the fourth in less than
a month. The wreckage of one, a
Navy patrol bomber with a crew
of 12, has been found.
The latest search was for a
plane flown by veteran Alaska
bush pilot Olen Hudson. It failed
to return from a flight Wednes
day night to a lake near Dead
Man Mountain, about 170 miles
northeast of Anchorage.
Among the three passengers was
a 10-year-old boy. Their names
| have not been learned. The party
was due back in a few hours, af
ter taking off.
Three private pilots from Tal
keetna, 100 miles north of An
chorage, and a B-17 from the
10th Air Rescue Squadron here
took off yesterday in bad weath
er to look for Hudson's plane.
It carried emergency rations
and a gun.
Charred wreckage of the Kod
iak-based Navy patrol bomber was
found Wednesday on lonely Amak
Island, off the Alaska peninsula
*about midway between Kodiak
| and Adak Island in the Aleutian
j chain. The PB4-Y-2 took off last
j Sunday from its home field on
I a routine flight to Adak. A ground
j party was due to reach the shat
tered bomber late yesterday, but
has not reported by radio.
Still missing are a Korean air
i lift DC-4 which disappeared July
121 between Cape Spencer and
Yakutat, Alaska, with 38 aboard,
and a single-engined plane which
vanished in the same area July 27
with the pilot and the wife and
daughter of Walter Wood, wealthy
New Jersey scientist.
It was anticipated that four
aircraft from the 10th Air Res
cue Squadron would search today
as weather permitted in the vj
clr'ty MWen Cane Spencer and
Cape St. Elias.
Only one Air Force craft was
up yesterday to total seven search
hours over the area between Cape
Suckling and the Copper River
north to Miles Glacier. Weather
was not good and little improve
ment was expected today.
U. S. Coast Guard headquarters
here said that no information had
t been received regarding the two
or three men who had been left at
the Seward Glacier camp where
ice studies were being made by
the Arctic Institute, with which
Wood was working.
Crime Probers Turn
Up 1949 Political
Contribution Offer
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 — tiP* —
Senate crime probers developed a
story today that Abner (Longie)
Zwlllman offered to contribute
$300,000 to the Democratic candi
date for Governor of New Jersey in
1949 but was turned down. State
Senator Elmer Wene was the Demo
cratic nominee.
The story was related by James
Bishop of Teaneck, N.J., a writer
and one-time reporter who served
as an adviser to Wene in the cam
paign.
Bishop said the offer was relayed
from Zwlllman by George Kessel
haut, an assistant to the then
Democratic leader in Essex county.
Col. William Kelly.
Bishop said he told Wene about
it the next day and that the State.
Senator would have no part of it.
A retired Treasury intelligence
employee told the committee Abner
(Longie) Zwlllman was a kingpin
in the bootlegging syndicate which
made $50,000,000 in six years.
Edwin Baldwin of Summit, N.J.,
testified this mob handled 40 per
cent of all illicit liquor brought into
the U.S. during prohibition.
Baldwin described Zwlllman and
Joseph Rehlnfeld as top men in this
northern New Jersey bootlegging
sydnicate, and commented:
"I worked on the Waxey Gordon
and Dutch Schultz (former New
York and New Jersey gangsters)
cases, and they were pikers com
pared to the Rehinfeld syndicate.”
