The possibility of routing Alaska Steamship freighters carrying perishable foods to Kodiak via Kodiak to Seward, instead of the long way here, was raised at the Chamber of Commerce meeting Thursday noon.
 In the past, foodstuffs have arrived Tn Kodiak frozen, and a loss to the local businesses, be- cause of delays at Seward, north of Kodiak's "banana be t cllm- ate."

Landlords Withdraw
Campaign 70 Obtain
Blanket Rent Boost

District landlords have agreed tc
withdraw their drive for a blanket
Is per cent rent increase. Rent Ad-
ministrator Cogswell said last night
Mr.. Cogswell said, however, that
the building owners have not aban-
doned their campaign to obtain ap-
proval of rent increases.
Mr.. Cogswell said it was decided
at meeting with representatives
from the Building Owners and Man
ayers association to have the land
lords petition the rent board indi-
vidually for rent increase, rather
than press for blanket Is per cent
raise for all. I
II explained to them that it would
take two or three months or even
Longer for me to study the petition
for general Is per cent rent raise,
Mr.. Cogswell said. There are SC
many factors involved that it would
take at least that long before q
decision could be made
The building owners decided that
it would expedite matters if rent
increase petitions were considered
on their individual merits, Mr.
Cogswell said.
At the meeting. the builders COM
fnittee told Mr.. Cogswel that both
maintenance costs and taxes have
gone up and that they feared that
these items would continue to in
crease.
While not commenting on what
action the District rent board will
take, Mr.. Cogswell said that he
thought the builders had taken "the
right action" in agreeing to ap-
proach the rent rise problem on an
individual basis.

Falls continue to be the leading

Two babies suffocated during the
week, bringing home accident fatan-

Accidental discharges of firearms
sent two boys to the hospital. One

There has been much discussion
of transportation difficulties, but it
is conceded this applies mostly to
the Central States, which are de-
pendent on tank cars and pipe
lines.
A second problem is the demand
for petroleum products, chiefly
gasoline, which is greater, now than
at the peak demand during the
war. The industry has not been
able to expand its facilities at a
rate sufficient to meet this demand.
Warns of Shortage.
Meanwhile, in Cleveland, j. Atlee
Schafer, head of the American Re-
tail Coal Association, told President
Truman that serious shortage OF
residential coal would confront the
Nation this winter unless Govern
ment coal export policies were re-
vised.
Mr.. Schafer, in telegram to the
President, said the association was
"gravely concerned over the Gov
ernments present coal export pro-
gram" and said that as a result "the
domestic consumer and our domestic
economy" had been left in pre-
carious position"
Unless some provision is made
soon by the Government, the result
will be a serious shortage of resi-

Flanders Considers
Quitting His Post on
Senate D. T.. Group

Senator Flanders, Republican, of
Vermont, said last night he may
resign from the Senate District
Committee because of pressure Of
other committee assignments.
Senator Flanders, an engineer
and banker, has been active on ma
tional committees, particularly the
Joint Congressional Committee on
the Economic Report, which is in
vestigating the high cost of living
He is also a member of the Bank
ing and Currency and the Post
Office and Civil Service Committees,
which have taken much of his
attention.
Il shouldn't continue on the Dis
trict Committee" he said, because
I have not been able to give it the
time 1t deserves. The District Com
mittee is important and any one
serving on it should give it enough
time TO attend all hearings and get
adequate information for future
action"
Senator Flanders originally was
slated to be chairman of the i'm
portant Senate District fiscal SUBJ
committee which handles the city s
tax problems But when he was
put on the Joint Economic Commit
tee, he turned over the fiscal SUBJ
committee craftsmanship to Senator
Cain, Republican, of Washington
remaining as subcommittee member
Senator Flanders said he is op-
posed to a sales tax for the District
which has been proposed by Senator
Cain and Representative Horan
Republican, of Washington, chair
man of the House Appropriations
subcommittee handling the city's big
annual supply bill.
Income Tax Favored.
The proposed income tax for
Washington, as originally suggested
by the joint House e-Senate f1scaI
subcommittee for the District, was
approved by Senator Flanders, but
he thinks the O'Hara amendment
finally written into law in the
House emasculated the measure.
The amendment, sponsored by
Representative O'Hara, Republican
of Minnesota, now exempts all
Federal salaries from the new Dis
trict income tax.
Senator Cain has introduced a
bill to repeal the entire individual
income tax section Of the new
revenue act here.

BirgfeId, Retiring Next Week,
Recalls 81 <4OO-o-Yeor Goal
Treasury Chief Clerk
70, to Open Law Office
To Keep His Hand in

When Frank A. Birgfeld, 10, en-
tered the Government service So
years ago, he looked forward to the
happy day when he would be in the
81 ,400-a-year class.
That looked like big money in
those days, but it wouldn't go Tar
now" chuckled Mr.. Birgfeld, chief
clerk of the Treasury Department,
who will leave the Federal service
Tuesday after distinguished career.
Mr.. Birgfeld first started drawing
a Government paycheck about
$3.50 week-at the age of Is. He
was a messenger at the United
States National Museum, now the
Smithsonian Institution.
Studied Law to Advance.
Mr.. Birgfeld, who is lawyer, said
he started the study of law when
he was 10 because II knew a lawyer
in the Government who was making
81 400 year, and I thought it would
be wonderful If I could make that
some day"
In 1899, he transferred to the
Treasury Department, serving as
superintendent of the Office of the
Supervisory Architect. Secretary of
the Treasury Andrew w. Mellon Sc
lected him as chief clerk of the
department in 1924.
During the next % years, Mr.
Birgfeld has served with distinction
under Mr.. Mellon, Ogden Mills, Will
liam Woodin, Henry Morganthau,
jr.; Fred Vinson and the present
Secretary, John Snyder.
Values Friendships.
He values the friendship he has
had with these men, all of whom
he served faithfully and we'll.
There was the time when Mr.
Mellon, who just was appointed Am
bassador to Britain, insisted that
Mr.. Birgfeld administer the oath of
Office to him. This was done, with
Mr.. Birgfeld administering double
oath of office, one to Mr.. Mellon,
and the other to the new Secretary
Of the Treasury Mills.
Mr.. Birgfeld also vividly remem-
bers New Year day of 1884, when
he went to the White House to swear
in Mr. Morganthau as Secretary of
the Treasury in ceremony wit
messed by the late President Roose-
welt.
When Fred Vinson, now Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court, be-
came the new Secretary, he wasted
no time in paying a call on his chief
clerk.
