Mr.. Ihlder explained to the COM
mittee at the hearing that he did
not then know the exact amount
that would be requested for the
second loan. THE U. S. II. A. has
certain limitations or regulations
in regard to its Icons, and comply
ing with these is making 1t rather
difficult" he testified.
For example. We cannot pay
more than $3.50 per square foot,
which prevents our going into the
worst slums of Washington with
u. S. H. A. money"

 The Alaska region Forest Service sends a news release that a seq elephant or el- ephant seal was recently washed ashore on the beach at Kasaan Prince of Wales Island, Tengess Nat tional Forest, where ,ony November it viewed by Forest offi-~ cers from the launch "Forestern.
 The elephant sea. is the largest mem- Der of the seal family, the males attain ing length of 22 feet and weight ap- preaching three tons. The name is de- rived from the curi ous flexible snout of the males, which, when relaxed hangs six to 10 inches below the muzzle.

 On the subject of refugees he said, "shou1d the States open doors to par ticular set of refugees, Alaska too should welcome them and assist them in reest tabli shing their lives. We are given all the privileges of citizenship grant ed to resident of the States, hence we should be wi Hing to share whatever dis adyrnt ages accrue from those rights"
 About the status of gold he said: T feel certai that the Admini st rati on will not lower the price of gold, as the re- suit would be defletionary economies, and would prove dis st rous to those engaged ins producing the metal. On the other hchd, see no probability that the price may be advanced"
