 En the telegram Mayor Bet- esm9er said, "Our most pressing l WR0hlem is lack of housing and sehool facilities, and until we can |, provide pleasant living condi- &ons and adequate housing, A. aska will never have & perman. gus population" l
 The telegram also stated "lt is SuapossibIe to build homes with eaght per cent interest on short aeEsm notes and we must have Federal money or authority from the Territory to borrow for this purpose. We suggest con- struction of one school for both Navy Base and city children with construction cost assistance from Navy appropriations"

AIR FORCES. End MERCY FLIGHT TO GAMBELL

The Air Forces at Nome made another Mercy" flight to Gam bell on Saturday, May lst, to al- leViate the conditions created by a serious food shortage on St. Lawrence Island. Staples such as flour, sugar, tea, beans and bak- ing powder were sent to the nat ives.
 The sea ice around St. Lawrence Island has moved out so quickly this year, little seal or Walrus killing was possible. As a result of this, the natives are suffering from food shortage and there is a possibility that they may lose all their dogs from starvation.

Representation for Rank and File
 Asks Bredlie, Sec.

FAIRBANKS, - (P) - The possibility that Alaska may send two delegations to bid for recog- nition at the national Republican Convention at Philadelphia June 2l was raised today as result of a second call for Territorial convention.
 The standing party split has Widened by the announcement that Elton Engstrom, Juneau chairman of the Territorial Rep ublican Central Committee had issued a convention call for May 18 at Sitka.
 Earlier, Sig Bredlie, secretary of the Fourth Division Republi- can Club, had issued a call for a convention of the first week in June at Mount Mckinley Nation al Park on behalf of frank and file Republicans of Alaska"
 Commenting on Engstrom's call Maurice Johnson, Divisional party leader and member of the Alaska House, contended "it's the same old run-around."
 As long ago as February, the rank and file of Republicans ask ed in a resolution for conven- ton call with at least 30 days notice," he said. "The Central Committee consistently refused so we were obliged to call the con- vention in order to give full rep presentation for all members of our party"
 Johnson said Engstroms's con- vention call provides for less than two weeks notice. He said this would not give enough time to arrange delegations and trans portation from all parts of the Territory.
 If two delegations are sent to the national convention, the one recognized by that body will con- trol party machinery in the Ter ritory.

Merits Of Rotation
OF Firemen Argued
AT Trial Of Murphy
Debute Turns on Kind
OF Evidence Needed to
Define lnefficieney
By Newbold Moves, Jr.

Attorneys in Fire Chief Glenn
ent Murphy's decentralization"
trial battled today over the diff
ference between an efficient and
an inefficient Fire Department,
and how such a difference can
be determined.
Having covered nine If his 10
charges against the fire chief, Spe-
cial Assistant Corporation Counsel
Daniel B. Maher had come to a
charge that Chief Murphy made his
department inefficient by "rota-
ton system" of transferring men
from one company to another. This
charge has been described by Austin
F. Garfield, chairman of the special
three-man civilian Trial Board, as
the "crux" of the case.
Mr.. Maher wanted to show the in
efficiency of the rotation system
through the opinion testimony of
seven department battalion chiefs
that it was inefficient. Martin F.
O'Donoghue, defense attorney, had
served notice that he would fight
against the introduction of opinion
evidence and would demand that
specific acts of Fire Department in
efficiency as a result of the transfers
be proved.
System Established by Murphy.
The so-called rotation system was
established by Chief Murphy when
he assumed control of the Fire
Department in March, 1916. It is
a method Of giving firemen varied
experience and service, by moving
them periodically between active
downtown posts and relatively In
active suburban posts.
This system has been severely at
tackled by the Washington local OF
the international Association OF
Firefighters. 1t was Capt. Joseph
w. Conroy. president of the local
who precipitated the investigation
of Chief Murphy's fitness for his
Office by telling a congressional com
mittee last June that the chief had
contributed nothing but demoral-
ization" to the department.
The rotation issue came to
head when Mr.. Maher put his first

Krug Would freeze
Coal and Oil Prices
Under Standby Plan
Tells Senate Committee
He Would Act Promptly
If Control Were Voted
BY the Associossd Press

Secretary of the Interior Krug
said today that If Congress
grants standby price control
power he Immediately will order
a 60-day freeze" of retail and
wholesale prices for coal, fuel
oil, gasoline and all other pc
troleum products.
Mr.. Krug also told the Senate
committee that if the administra-
ton is given ALLEGATION and rationing
authority, he believes it will be
necessary to allocate and possibly"
ration fuel oil and gasoline.
Generally speaking, ALLEGATION is
the dividing up of scarce COM
modities among suppliers. Rationing
is dividing them among consumers.
Backs Reserve Power.
Mr.. Krug testified in support OF
hold-in-reserve power to restore
rationing and wage-price controls
on a limited basis as Congress re-
ceived President Truman's annual
message on the Nations economy.
The message was sent to the
Capitol amid fresh signs that the
Republican, dominated Congress in
tends to spurn the Presidents anti
imitation program.
This was pointed up again yes
terday as Republican members oi
the Senate Banking Committee tore
into the testimony of Secretary oi
Labor Schwellenbach. His support
of standby wage-price control power
prompted the attack.
Favors Selective Price Control.
Mr.. Schwellenbach told the COM
mittee that 'if we are successful in
checking the upward trend of prices
and rents and in lowering the cost
Of foods, we shall have a basis fol
calling on labor voluntarily to limit
demands for further wage increases
at least temporarily-while we as
Nation try to achieve a basis OF
stability"
The Secretary said this objective
could not be achieved without Sc
lective price control. And he added
that even If labor did make a
voluntary agreement to curtail wage
demands, the administration still
should have legal power to control
pay increases.
Senator Flanders, Republican, OF
Vermont told reporters he believes
labor leaders would react favorably
to ANY honest endeavor" to check
prices, but he said in his opinion
prices already have climbed too high

IsApproved by Britain
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

LONDON, Jan. 14.-A Foreign
Office spokesman said today that
Great Britain had conditionally ap-
proved an American plan to reopen
an important wartime air base in
Libya, the former Italian colony
in North Africa which this country
administers.
The field is. at Mellaha, near
Tripoli. 1t is important strategi-
cally to the Central and Eastern
Mediterranean The spokesman said
it would be used by the Air Trans
port Command.
British approval was made condi-
tional on the outcome of current
talks between the United States,
Great Britain, Russia and France
on the disposal Of Italian colonies.
There was no official explanation
of how the American authorities
planned to use Mellaha. During the
war the field was base for heavy
bombers which pounded at Balkan
targets
The American Government offered
the field and its installations for
sale last year. but there were no
takers. London informants said
air experts from Europe are now
at Mellaha on an inspection tour.
Secretary of Defense Forrestal,
commenting on reopening of the
field at a press conference today,
called it filling station" and added
that the action had no interna-
tional significance.

quire European countries as a gen.

nationals as q condition for receiv-
ing aid from this Government"
Even If these countries could
