cause of that situation. Didn't you consider that?
 A. We should have if we didn't. If we didn't we will adjust it by al means.
 Louis Masters, associate of the Waterbury Trust Company, and representing the North End Com munity Club then asked MT. Jenks.
 e. How would a serious depres- sion as that of the 30s affect the 1945 valuations you now have plac- ed on these properties?
 A. I am glad you asked that. We will soon be established in the as- Sessor's office in a manner which will permit us to keep constant check on the fluctuations of the market. Thus we can readily change our valuations upward or downward as necessary. That ot- flee was never equipped that way before. The appraisers now will be free to go into the field and check property while hired clerks will handle the clerical work which h the past was handled by appraisers.
 @. There is bad housing short- age in the city. Imitation has re- suited. Aren't these imitation esti- mates that have been set?
 A. These are the present, fair market value. There is imitation there-yes. But there is imitation in the market value thus making it fair. The law demands that we use the yard-stick of present fair mar ket value. won't break the law for anyone or anything. Besides I didn't set these estimates. They are not part oi my duties.
 Various other speakers represen- ting the city community clubs ask ed questions or MT. Jenks and Mr. Koran. Shortly after 10 p. m., MT. Taylor asked for adjournment of the question period that those present might organize. Some of these questions concerned whether Mayor John s. Monagan had con- suited with MT. Horan before the estimates were sent out. The latter said that the mayor had not seen them. He said that MT. Jenks had gone into the file with him on oc- casions and checked property.
 Delegates were present from lS clubs, including Oronoke, North End, East End, Overlook, Wasl,- ington Park, Fairmount, Bucks Hill, Pearl St., Mary Abbott, Hope vile, Platts Mills, West Side, Sun- rise Park and Bunker Hill Improve ment Association.

 SiaSe OPA Executive
 Makes Appeal 10
 Property OwReFs

State oPA Rent Executive James T. Sullivan today urged Connecti- cut householders to rent "all avail- able spare rooms to persons looking for a place to live" in a move planned to help alleviate the cur- rent housing shortage in this state.
 Householders who rent space no this spare room" basis are not sub iect to the OPA rule requiring evic- ton notice of six months, Sulli- van said, if rental is made to not more than two persons with whom the family home is shared"
 "If you rent your spare rooms that do not actually constitute a separate apartment, then you will not be bound to give six months notcie if you wish your temporary tenant to leave," Sullivan declared.
 Describing the spare room rental as an interim measure, the OPA executive said: "The home-sharing plan is designed simply as a tenn porary move to give our homeless citizens a place to live until enough new homes can be constructed for everybody. A family which finds lt possible to rent spare rooms to one or two persons on this basis need not fear that they will be per- manently inconvenienced if the ar- rangement does not work uot wll for all concerned"
 Thousand of our veterans are re- turning to this state every month, and many of them have been frus- trated in their search for places to live" Sullivan ntoed. Any fam fly which is willing to share its home with one or two of these veterans, or with any of tn eother home- hunting persons in Connecticut, will

 The protesting lawyer did not re- lease publicly the name of the tax payer in whose behalf the action will be brought. He stated that the plaintiff is one of a group of res- idents in one section of the city who protested. The decision waN made to single out one property owner instead of bringing the action in behalf of the group, he said.

Big Three Accord Seen
On European Regimes

American and British moves dur.
ing 1916, to round out a common
policy with Russia on what Euro
pean governments are legitimate
were predicted in diplomatic quar-
tiers today.
This would involve Anglo-Amer
lean severance of diplomatic rela-
tions with the Franco government
of Spain and recognition of Soviet
absorption of the Baltic states, in
addition to formal approval of the
Romanian and Bulgarian provi-
sional governments in line with
agreements at the recent Moscow
Conference.
Continued recognition by Wash
ington and London of Lithuania,
Latvia and Estonia as independent
nations has caused some embarrass-
ment in relations with Moscow,
which took them over as Soviet
republics in 1910.
Such recognition has become little
more than a formality, and some
officials here point out that official
concession that the three Baltic
states are part of the Soviet Union
would remove a potential trouble
spot in Big Three relations.
The United States and Britain
already have agreed to a French
proposal to discuss their relations
with Franco. This consultation is
expected to take place early this
year, and may lead to a formal
break with the Spanish regime
which Russia never has recognized.

Democratic Majority
In House Falls 10 Al
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Democratic majority In the
House fell to Al yesterday as three
members stepped back into private
life, to be followed quickly by q
fourth.
Thus when Congress reconvenes
January IA, the Democrats will have
seven fewer seats than they held
when the Seventy ninth Congress
began work last January.
The new lineup will be 236 DEM
ocrats, 100 Republicans, minor par
ties and z vacancies. The Seventy
eighth Congress, which met in Jan
uary, 1943, found the Democrats
with a majority of only 14-222 to
208-with four minor party members
and one vacancy.
The drop to AZ resulted from
designations which became effective
last midnight for these three mem
bers: Representatives Dickstein of
New York, Ramspeck of Georgia and
Woodrum of Virginia. A fourth
Democrat, Representative Weiss of
Pennsylvania, has resigned effective
January z.
Until successors are named for
these four and to fill three other
vacancies, the vote on most major
issues is expected to be close, since
many Southern Democrats recently
have balloted with Republicans.

De Lacy Says Congress
Has Failed fhe Nation

BY the Associated Press.
Representative De Lacy, Demo-
crat, Of Washington, asserted yes
terday that the first session of the
Seventy ninth Congress failed the
Nation.
In statement reviewing the 1915
session, Mr.. De Lacy said:
Congress was asked to tackle
the human problems Of reconver-
sion, Nation wide unemployment
compensation, emergency legislation
for jobs, social security measures
fair employment provisions-legis-
lation to ease the people who had
won the war through period Of
conversion to peace. It was the
Presidents request, so the Ameri-
can people would have some reward
for their great war effort besides
insecurity, unemployment and dis
location.
Congress failed the people
Committees bottled up the required
bills, kept us from voting. The
Senate watered down the Presi-
dents full employment bill. The
House took full employment out
of 1t entirely and turned it into a
meaningless song in praise of free
enterprise and little more"

U.S.. Group in Reich
Hunts Proof Of Nazi
Tie With Argentina

tCopyrignt, 1870, NORTH American News.

BERLIN, Dec. 31.-A special team
of American Investigators acting I'M
der the direction of Spruille Braden,
Assistant Secretary of State for Lat
In American affairs, Is securing Ger
many for men and documentary evil
dence necessary to establish the full
extent of collaboration between Nazi
Germany and Argentina, this cor
respondent has learned from an I'M
Improbable source.
A substantial percentage of the
investigators are engaged in wide
spread manhunt for 10 former Ger
man Foreign Office experts who di-
rected Hitler's liaison with the Ar
gentine government. The remainder
are examining captured Foreign Of
flee secret records here and else
where in Germany for documentary
evidence that Argentine officials in
Guiding Col. Juan D. Peron and Gen.
Edelmiro Farrell co-operated with
Germany toward the establishment
of a gigantic Nazi organization in
South America.
The special team of investigators
was organized by and is operating
under instructions from Mr.. Braden.
The extent of its success cannot yet
be divulged, but Mr.. Bradens spe-
cial directive gave its purpose as
unearthing proof that Argentina
and Germany elaborated toward
setting up Nazi branches of arma-
ment intelligence and propaganda
aimed at undermining and eventu-
ally destroying currently recognized
forms of government in Brazil, Uru-
quay and Chile.
The key figure now being sought
throughout Germany is a German
Foreign Office official named Refine
beck who held the rank of Minister
in charge of the South American
section Reinebeck's secret files are
now being examined, microflmed
and sent to the State Department.
Reinebeck himself has been missing
since Germany's surrender, but the
investigators have reason to believe
he is alive and in hiding with view
to eventual escape to Spain, thence
to Argentina.
Mr.. Braden is directing the in
vestigation from Washington through
Ambassador Robert Murphy. who is
in Berlin. 1t is believed the final
results will provide revelations of an
even more spectacular nature than
has heretofore been suspected in the
relations between Nazi-German and
pro-Fascist officials in Argentina.

JUNEAU FIRM LOW BIDDER TO COVER
 TERR. EMPLOYEES

The Governors Office today an- nounced award of contract for workmen's compensation insurance coveraga of Territorial employees to Young, Mclean and Werner, Ju- neau insurance firm which entered the lowest of four bids submitted in answer to a recently published call for bids.
 Sealed bids were submitted by four companies, all of Juneau: The Shattuck Agency; Young, Mclean and Werner; Juneau Insurance Agency and Alaska Personal Ser vice Agents. Bids were opened by Attorney General Ralph Rivers in the Office of the Governor in the presence of representatives of each of the bidding companies.
 The contract awarded is a stop gap" measure until the next regular session of the Legislature, which convenes January 27, 1947, is able to provide for the permanent pro- lection of Territorial employees in accordance with the action of the 1946 extraordinary session extend- ing workmen's compensation bene- fits to include all Territorial en- ployees, who previously had not been provided for in the workmen's compensation law.
 Inasmuch as the special session of the Legislature neglected to appro- priate for the insurance coverage, the present insurance contract, cov- ering the seven-months period from July 22, 1946 to February P, 1947 when the Legislature will be in ses- sion, is to be paid for from the Governors Emergency Fund. Approximately 800 persons are af- fected, including: The faculty and staff of the University of Alaska, the Territorial Schools, highway po- lice, the Pioneers Home, and em- ployees of the various Territorial offices, it was stated.
