Capt. L.aihrop
 Visiting Here

Capt. Austin E. Lathrop, often called "The Builder of Alaska" be- cause of his outstanding pioneering successls in almost every field of economic and social activity in the Territory, is one of the few All askans completely unexcited by the promise of the 1946 tourist trade.
 What can we do with them when we get them here" he said today when the tourist prospect for this year was mentioned to him. "Alaska's present housing sit nation is such that we can't take care of our own people. It's true that in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and many other large cities big plans are underway for postwar housing to ease the present congestion, but these projects are still mostly in the planning stage. They won't be ready for occupancy in the next two months"
 In Juneau for the meeting of the Board of Regents of the University of Alaska, of which he is a mem Der, and ito take care of a few business matters" Capt. Lathrop expects to return to his home in Fairbanks in the next day or two.
 He has just returned from a buy ing trip to Washington where he purchased coal mining equipment for his Healy River Coal Mine.
 In addition to the dozens of pro- jects and industries with which he is now connected, MT Lathrop has a new theatre in Anchorage The Fourth Avenue which he expects to open the latter part of May. The theatre, a 1,000-seat house, will be one of the largest and most mo- dern movie houses in the city.
 Capt. Lathrop, actively engaged in business throughout Alaska for the past 51 years was born in La peer, Michigan, and came to Alas ka when he was a young man of 25. Aroused by news of the gold strike at Homer on Cook Inlet at the turn If the 18th century, he purchased a half interest in the steam schoon- CT IL. J. Perry and for some years operated the vessel in Alaskan wa ters. It was this connection with the sea that won for him the title of captain Since that time his friends and acquaintances have called him "Capt"
 Known throughout the Territory as the boy with an eye for busi- ness opportunity" MT. Lathrop's early days were studded with one business coup after another. His activities covered almost every pos sible phase of prospecting, real es- ate dealing, mining, and general business. He organized the Califor- nia- Alaska Mining and Developing Company to prospect for copper in

 OF MEAT
 IS N E A R
(BY THE ASSOCIATED pREss)

A beef crisis that threatened to empty American meat counters stretched out from the midwest to- day, where the drastic reduction in the supply of slaughter steers at packing companies started an OPA investigation to determine the cause of the serious shortage.
 Four OPA investigators were at work in Kansas City after the slaughter rate in the city's major packing companies dropped to ap- proximately 10 percent of normal
 We are making pretty thorough investigation of the whole thing" said Joe Koralchik. chief of the food enforcement section of the OPA's district office in Kansas City.
 Two Kansas City packing com pany officials stated that unless the OPA could ease the situation, which they said was caused by OPA price ceilings and a growing black market, the killing of beef would be halted indefinitely.

proceeding on the theory that the entire portion of the present value of the Electric Light Company's property which has been acquired from past earnings must have been paid for by the consumers of Ju- neau alone.
 That is not SO From 1896 until 1913. Douglas was a larger town than Juneau, practically all the pay roll was in Douglas and Treadwell Juneau, to a great extent, during those years, depended on Treadwell and Douglas for it's existence. The Treadwell mine during those years employed an average Of over one thousand men. In fact, at one time the number of employees reached nineteen hundred.
 The Telephone and Light systems have always served both sides of the channel. The Light and Pow CT system is all one, and so is the Telephone system.
 We have always had one base and cne rate, and we understand that in the past, in fixing the rates, the system as a whole has been con- sidered and we think that, while perhaps if one were obliged to fol- low the strict letter of the law, where we have in Alaska no pro vision for separate public utility districts unless they are formally set up, Juneau would have to fix it's own rates regardless of Douglas and the surrounding territory, nev- ertheless this is not practical.
 If the theory of separating values and allocating earnings and oper- ating expenses is followed to US conclusion, we fear that this might result in higher rates for Douglas than we now have.
 We have been told that at no place in any state of the union' where two rather small towns are so close together, all served by one common system, are there two dit- ferent rates for light and power
 We do not agree that the DOT ton of the earnings of the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company which were partly paid in diVldenos and partly ploughed back into the system on your side of Gastineau Channel all came from Juneau Douglas has made large contri- button.
 Of course, if you clange ;.le rates it will have to be done by ordinance which will be effective in Juneau only. but if, in fixing the rates, you consider the two towns together, taking into consideration all the property of the system as rate base. all the earnings, both past and present, and the entire operat- ing expense, and then fix your rates, applicable to Juneau alone, as that is the extent of your luris- diction We are sure that Douglas can adopt the same rates. It will be impossible for Douglas to arrive at fair rates if we are confined to the value of all the property of the system in giving us service, as a rate base, much of which is on the. Juneau side, while at the same time getting credit only for the earnings from Douglas consumers

PRESIDENT THINKS
RATIONING OF FOOD
NOW UNNECESSARY

WASHINGTON, March %. Up
president Truman said Thursday
he saw no reason for a resumption
of rationing in this country as a
result of world food shortages.
He told a news conference that
he thought the current emergency
would be over before steps could
be taken to re-impose necessary
controls.
Mr.. Truman was asked about a
recommendation of UNRRA's food
subcommittee that all the United
Nations ration food.
He replied he still felt that con
trolls should be necessary. How
ever, he said, this is an e4nefgen-
cy which should be over late in
the spring.
The Redistribution of food rationing
probably would take longer than
the immediate emergency will last,
he added.
