 The Goldstein building, built in 1914 at cost of $ll0,000, was for many years the outstanding struc- ture on the Juneau skyline.
 Originally constructed as an of flee building it at times housed num- erous headquarters for Federal and Territorial units until recent years. With the construction of govern ment office facilities the building was gradually converted into apart ments on the two top floors. Housed in the structure besides apartments were numerous business establish ments, including the uptown broad casting station of KINY.
 The building was built by A. w. Quist, contractor who is now erect ing the Baranof Hotel.
 Flying embers flew in all direc- tions and for several hours bucket patrols and also streams by fire men were played on surrounding roofs and buildings

HIGHER RATE. SEEN AS RESULT
 OF SHIP TIEUp
Senator Rivers Introduces Memorial for Lower
 Rate Structure

Higher freight rates for Alaska are foreseen by Senator Victor C. Rivers of the Fourth Division as a result of the current maritime tie up. The fear of impending increases is expressed in a memorial inro- duced in the Senate yesterday af- ternoon.
 Because of frequent interrup- tions ill the past years freight tar ifs have been increased to a point where they are now excessive and beyond the value of the service ren- dered, the Fairbanks solon's Sem ate joint memorial No. reads, add ing:
 Due to current interruptions it is reasonably expected that additional freight increases will be requested in the near future by Alaska carriers. v
 Freight Rates Rapped
 The memorial requests the Inter- state Commission to investigate the rate structures of water carriers op- erating between the United States and Alaska and asks that reductions be made and rates be established for this part of the United States that compare favorably with rates for similar services elsewhere.
 Memorials criticizing management of the Alaska Railroad and advocat- ing taxing of Indian cooperative canneries also were introduced yes- terday by Senator Rivers.
 Excessive freight tariffs" imposed by the Alaska Railroad, if viewed in the light of an indirect tax, makes the population Of the Interior of Alaska "the highest taxed people in the World today" the Fairbanks solon declares in his Senate joint memorial No. ,.
 Economic UIctaJorShip"
 The measure urges Congress to adopt a resolution setting forth a policy of development as the aim of the Alaska Railroad, making ap- propriations to cover the costs of operations hereunder and "termin- ating the economic dictatorship which the Interior Department. through its officials, now exercises over the Interior of Alaska served by the Alaska Railroad"
 The memorial dealing with taxa tion of Indian canneries urges Con- gress to empower the Legislature to impose and collect equal taxes on all canneries and cannery products and claims that Indian cooperative csnneries, now tax-exempt, are com peting with independent canneries and even being extended loans from the Federal Government in order to operate

"A proposal in Congress to
authorize an army air force of

ritative hint today that the ad-
ministration favored removing
all legislative limits on the

Chairman May, Democrat, Kentucky

he would propose the new limit next
week, in response to President Roose-
velts recommendation that the army
air forces be expanded as soon as
possible by at least 5000 aircraft Re-
liable administration sources reported.
however, that army spokesmen would
ask Congress instead ito make the
sky the limit so far as authorizations
are concerned.
Congressional authorizations are
distinct from actual appropriations
Often the legislators authorize a pro-
gram extending over several years,
then pass annually upon the amount
OF money to be spent carrying it out
Legally, officials said, the army now
has authority to increase the air corps
to 4,120 planes.
