Crime Indicts

TO the Editor Of The Times:
I wish to reply to the letter OF
the person who only identifies
himself as &c. L. M"
He thinks that the crime of
murder, committed by three
small boys after stealing q po-

interesting and the most horri.

I wish to say that it would
be interesting If it were not
so tragic and also an indict-
ment Of every individual citi"
zen (of our so-called glorious
country Of freedom and justice)
who has the intelligence and
courage to express himself and
has not used his voice against
the conditions Of our country
that are responsible for crimes.
Poverty is breeding vice and
crime, scattering disease, kill.
ing babies, and wreckin g
homes; while the feast Of Dives
goes on.
We have today q kind of citi-

 Proceedings were started against Strachey in Chicago. On one day of the case, the Immigration au- thorities presented evidence with the introduction of magazine article purported to have been written by Strachey, and entitled. Why I Am a Communist

SMOKE VICTIM STILL BATTLES
 FOR HIS LIFE
Friends Offer Blood in Ef. for to Save Young
 Church at Hospital

With physicians, ho s pital at tendants and friends who have or fered blood for possible transfusion, battling to save his life, Donald Church, 25-year- -old itineran n worker who figured in Juneau's gas fume boat tragedy yesterday, was said to have an even chance of recovery at St. Ann's Hospital this afternoon.
 Meanwhile, funeral arrangements were being arranged for Kenneth P. Jungquist 28, after receipt here of telegram from his widow liv- ing in Minneapolis.
 The pair were found yesterday morning in the gas-filled forecastle of the halibut boat Norland, berth ed at Upper City Float, by Capt. Tom Sandvik and Casper Norman. Jungquist did not respond to emer- sency treatment by a Volunteer Fire Department inhalator squad.
 Fight stin On
 Church was rushed to St. Ann's Hospital in an ambulance where a fight to save his life began and had not ended this afternoon.
 Two youths, friends of Church, volunteered this morning to give blood if physicians decided that a transfusion was necessary. Speci- mems of their blood were taken this morning. and, if either sam pie is found to be suitable, it may be used
 Hospital attendants this morn ing told of how a firemen's crew had worked with an inhalator over Church for an hour after his ar rival at St. Ann's The machine still was at the hospital today, while physicians considered every possible means of saving the mans life.
 More Information
 Meanwhile, at the c. w. Carter Mortuary, more information on the tragedy pair was disclosed by MT. Carter, who sent many telegrams to the States last night.
 Jungquist, the dead man, is sur vived by wife and son. The age of the son is not known. Jungquist had worked at a Kodiak Island cannery last year He had made plans to work for another cannery on Kodiak Island which is being managed by Howard Bailey. He was to have left Juneau next month.
 A telegram received here from Mrs. Jungquist indicated that she is making arrangements for funeral services. She has requested an of- ficial death certificate.
 Church, it was learned through MT. Carter's efforts, has relatives living at Burton, Vashon Island, Wash. He is an automobile tire vulcanizer by trade and had been employed in the Seattle office of the General Tire Company. J. HI. Church of Burton, apparently a relative, has exchanged several telegrams today with MT. Carter relative to the youths condition.

WHARF

 IF DEAL Q. K,
Northland Line Consider ing Berthing Boats There,
 Council Meet Discloses

The fact that the Northlano Transportation Company is con- s:dering berthing it's vessels at City Dock for a five-year period was the outstanding development as the City Council met in a special iy called session last night at City Hall.
 The meeting, called by Mayor |Isadore Goldstein before bis term of office and the terms of three councilmen-George B. Rice, Will liam Beck and Art McKinnon- expire Tuesday, found arrange ments made for a conference with Northland officials this weekend on the proposition.
 According to 6 telegram from the Seattle office of the line. the company is desirous of negotiating with the City of Juneau for five year option on the wharf.
 Knight Accredited
 Harold Knight, purser of the mo- torship Northland, which arrived in port late last night, has been ac- credited as the official representa- tive of the Northland Company in these negotiations. The Council voted to meet with Knight during the Northland's weekend stay in this area.
 It is believed that if negotiations are successful, an arrangement sim liar to that now in existence be- tween the Alaska Steamship Com pany and the Pacific Coast Dock will be put into effect. This would mean that the City Dock would again be operated by the City and that the Northland would deliver it's freight to ships sling, with the city taking charge of all cargo from that point.
 It was pointed out last night that, before the City Dock was closed last summer, an operating profit averaging about $500 a month was realized to the city These figures were submitted this week by Auditor James c. Cooper who has been conducting an an- nual survey of the city's financial statements.

ACTIVITY FOR
 HOME BUILDING
 IS STIMULATED
New Procedure on Mort gage Borrowing Con-
 tacts Announced

lQ(lS HllllOull(Cd
 In order to stimulate activity with respect to mortgages on dwellings ito be insured under the National Housing Act, and to as- sist borrowers in contacting will ing lenders, borrowers may now also apply directly to the Federal Housing Administration through any of it's insuring offices for ap- praisal of property, approval of credit responsibility of the bor- rover, and determination of the eligibility of the mortgage for in surance.
 This information was today re- ceived by John E. Pegues. Territor- ial Director of the Federal Hous- ing Administration from Adminis- trator James A. Moffett. This ad- ditional facility means that a pros- pective borrower, whether on new construction or for refunding an existent mortgage, may present his application for a loan to any of the insuring offices of the Ad- ministration. An informal commit ment to insure the mortgage when executed will be issued by the Ad- ministration, if. upon examination of the application, appraisal of the property or of the plans and speci- fications, and the credit examina- ton of the borrowers responsibil- ity, the mortgage is deemed insur- able
 Procedure
 The prospective borrower, in this event, would then proceed with the assistance of the Administra- ton, if necessary. to find a finan- cial institution which had qualified as an approved mortgagee and was willing to make the loan.
 The new procedure has been adopted as an added facility with the view of adding to the convent ence of the prospective borrowers and to that of the lending insti- tutions, as well as to afford the borrower an approach to lenders who might otherwise be unwilling to examine into the project. Here after, it was explained, a pros pective borrower who has already obtained an informal commitment to insure his mortgage will not be in the position of asking bank or other lending institution to make investigations involving delay and expense without assurance that the effort would result in a desirable business transaction.
 Appraisal Fee
 Prospective borrowers submitting their app Ii a tions, MT. Pegues pointed out, will be required to pay the established appraisal fee of $3 per thousand dollars of the principal amount of the mort gage loan. However, no additional appraisal will be made by the ad- ministration and no additional ap- praisal fee will be collected by it when the definite commitment is finally issued.
 Heretofore it has been neces- sary for prospective borrower to make application direct to an ap- proved mortgagee which then sub mitted the application for insur- ance to the Administration.
 MT. Pegues said that anyone wishing to proceed under the new plan can secure further detailed info m tion by communicating with the Federal Housing Adminis- tration at the Juneau office.
