ANS E TO REOPEN BOARDING SCHOOL
 NEAR ANCHORAGE
Foster Explains Ne ed for Accommodating Child
 ren of TB Patients

The Eklutna Boarding School is to be re-opened by the Alaska Native Service according to plans announc- ed today by Don C. Foster, General Superintendent of ANS. The scfool located 23 miles from Anchorage, was closed in 1946 but Foster feels that new plant should be con- structed and the school reactivated
 He explained that children, of tuberculosis sanatorium patients will become welfare cases because parents would be unable to care for them. Foster declared that the school which would accommodate 400 children, will prove an ideal solution to such problems.
 Foster said that he will include a request for necessary funds in his 1850 budget requirements.
 The ANS head also reported that he is considering several sites in the vicinity of Anchorage for propos- ed new government hospital and sanatorium. He said there were some excellent sites within the city as well as near Palmer.

Bucky Harris, Secretary Of the Alaska Sportsman's Association. re- turned to Juneau yesterday after touring the states for. better than two months on a trip designed to attract more tourist trade to the Territory.
 Harris said that outside interest in Alaska is much greater than he ori- ginally thought, and that response to his lectures was a fair indication that the Territory would see an in- creased number of tourists this sum- mer. Harris explained that outside interest isenct confined to one field, but includes hunting. fishing, pho- tography and travel.
 After leaving the sports show in Chicago, Harris visited more than 22 states from coast to coast when featuring to both business and sports associations.
 Harris said that more than 60O.- 900 persons were contacted at the Chicago and Seattle Sports Shows and the lectures.

INVOLVES
 EASTERN
 CAPITAL
Government Assistance fo Be Asked Seattle Man
 Announces Plan

SEATTLE, April l7.--lRL-A Se- attle civil engineer said he repre4 sents an eastern syndicate which hopes to obtain from Congress within few weeks financial as- sistance toward the building of a railroad to Alaska.
 The engineer Willis T. Batchel- Ter. who made preliminary engin- eering studies of Grand Coulee Dam for Washington state. said the plan is for the syndicate to build part of the road and the government the remainder.
 He said that before eastern capi- talists are prepared to put up a planned s2O0,000,000, the American and Canadian governments must provide S375, 100000.
 He reported he has conferred with both the American and Can adian governments on a number of occasions since last summer. He said he believes a bill providing for funds will be introduced shortly in Congress.
 Batcheller, President of a Se- attle firm of consulting engineers bearing his name, said he expects to see preliminary work started this midsummer on the line north from Prince George, B. C.. to Fairbanks.
 The eastern capitalists, he said, would put up the money to pur- chase and rehabilitate the provin- cially owned Pacific Great Eastern Railway of British Columbia and to extend 1t into Vancouver on the southern end and from Quensel on to Sifton Pass on the northern end.
 Before this could he done. he said, the American and Canadian governments must provide s375.- C00000 to extend the line as military defense measure from Sif- ton Pass to Fairbanks. Alaska.
 The plan of the eastern capital ists. according to Batcheller. pro- yides for branches of the road rom Finley Forks into the Peace River block, terminating at Hudson Hope, 5. O., and Dawson Greek, B. c.
 The government-financed portion oi the system would also provide Tor a branch between Whitehorse ana Norman, Northeast Territory, bisecting the main line near the Junction of the Peily and Ross Rivers.

ANOTHER RULING ABOUT STATEMENTS
 ALASkA FREIGHT

It was announced today by James J. Connors, Collector of Customs, that instructions had just been re- ceived to the effect that shippers declarations are not required cov- ering commodities shipped by air. craft from Alaska to the United States. Recent legislation provided for elimination of such declarations when goods moved by vessel and the present ruling covering aircraft has the effect of discontinuing such shippers declarations in case of both vessel and air movements.
 It was estimated that the elimina- tion of these declarations will save thousands of dollars of time and expense of both shippers and trans portation companies each year

BOAT HARB0R
 DISGUISED BY CITY COUNCIL

Juneaus Small Boat darpor problems occupied considerable time at last nights regular meeting Of the Juneau City Council
 In order to permit access to the proposed enlargement of the Boat Harbor, Councilman James Larsen's proposal was passed that the city construct q sidewalk in the Waynor Addition, as far as the City limits, in trade for two access roads to the new harbor. One road would be 50 feet wide and the other 35 feet in width. The access would be grant, ed by the Juneau Realty Go
 Councilman Edward Nielsen re- ported that he will investigate the possibility of installing coin-operat- ed electric power meters at the Har- bor for the convenience of boats. He said that the City may experi- meht with this idea on one or two floats before making a complete in- stallation.
 The Council approved the recom- mendation of Councilman Joe Thibodeau for the purchase of three 2-man hand pumps to be used as fire-fighting equipment at the Boat Harbor.
 A complaint on the dumping of garbage and other refuse at the Harbor was heard from the audi ence. The speaker recommended that an investigation be made of persons dumping garbage and other scraps there. City Street Department Foreman Bert Lybeck reported that new garbage cans are to be installed on each float Monday.

CARPENTERS
 TURN DOWN
 EMPLOYERS
Union Rejects Relommen- dation of Own Neoo-
 fiating Committee

The Juneau Local of the AFL Carpenters and Joiners of America rejected the action of its Negotiating Committee last night and refused to accept an offer by the Juneau Con- tractors and Employers Association.
 The unions Negotiating Com mittee had recommended acceptance of the Association offer which, ac- cording to reliable sources, was al- most exactly what the union had demanded when it quit work on March 3l. The Association was in formed of the union action at a special noon meeting today.
 Union President Earl Estepp re- signed from the Negotiating Com mittee after the union failed to sup port him vn the proposed agreement. The offer made by the Association contained considerable concessions on it's part although the carpenters had given very little.
 Under the proposed agreement, the entire AFL Juneau Building Trades Council would use the wage scales of June 1947 as a basis for computing the costs of living every three months. The index would be added or subtracted from this scale in fractions of five percent.
 Would Pay S2.20 Hourly
 Based on the present cost of liy- ing index, which is 13.3 percent over June 1947, according to the agree ment of the Negotiating Commit tee, the union carpenters would have received the base of $2 per hour plus 20 cents for a total $220 per hour. The balance of 66 cents would be included in the next adjustment of wages. The carpenters had asked for $2.25 per hour with the contrac- tors first offering $206l9per hour.
 A statement on possible action of the Association could not be had at press time but some observers pre- dicted that they would not make any further attempts to negotiate until the carpenters come down in their demands.
 The opinion expressed by the car penters at their meeting was that they will hold out for a base pay of $225 now with cost-of living ad- justments made from that scale

FOREIGN AID SUPPLIES TO
 3C0UNTRIES
Food, Coal, Efe., Be Ship ped Italy. France and
 The Netherlands

WASHINGTON, April 17.-R- On the eve of the Italian elections, the economic cooperation admin istration said today that $20, 0,424 ,o00 more in food, coal and other com- modities will be shipped to that country, France and the Nether- lands.
 Paul G. Hoffman, ECA chief, said these shipments will be in addition to $37,877 ,000 in aid authorized for the three countries earlier this week. The money for purchases comes from the new European re- covery program.
 Hoffman listed these allotments to the three countries under the shipping schedule:
 To France: Coal, S5,658,000; wheat flour, $5,65o00o.
 To Italy. Coal. s6,00o,00O; wheat flour, $1,13O,Ooo; Soya flour, s41o,- GOO; rolled oats, S562 900.
 To The Netherlands: Wheat, Sl,- 0l4,Oo0.
 The total for France is $1l,3O0,- GOO, and to Italy $8,1 ,000. !
 The Western Powers, meanwhile, have made third demand on Russia for a yes-or-no answer on the question of returning Trieste to Italy.
 Just six hours before the formal wind-up of the. Italian campaign, in which the Communists are bid- ding for control, the United States, Britain and France in effect called on Moscow yesterday to quit stall ing over their proposal to turn Trieste back to Italy.
 The Western demand served as a final reminder to millions of Italians voting Sunday that Rus sia blocks the way to the border city's return.
 The closing stroke climaxed a long series of measures aimed at winning friends for western demo- cracy in the strategic nation.

Proposal Made To Build Railroad 70 Alaska
Territory (an't Yei Afford
 Statehood, Declare Executives
 0fTwo Newspapers in Alaska
By vERN HAUGLAND

WASHINGTON, April l7.-lR- Two Alaska newspaper executives said today they feel the Territory cannot yet afford statehood.
 The expenses which statehood in- wolves would force an almost con- fiscatory tax burden upon Alaskans, said Mrs. Helen Troy Monsen, Juneau, and Miss Miriam Dickey, Fairbanks.
 The high taxes a state govern ment would require would drive off investors at time when out side capital is particularly essen tial for development ot pulp paper industry and other Alaskan ventures, they told a reporter.
 Mrs. Monsen, daughter of form CT Territorial Governor, is pub fisher of the Daily Alaskan Empire at Juneau.
 Miss Dickey, Executive Secretary to Alaskas millionaire A. E. La throp, is an official of the Mid night Sun Broadcasting Co.,, and it's radio stations-KFAR at Fair banks and KENI, to be opened May 2 at Anchorage-and of the Panama Publishing Co.,, and it's publication, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner.
 They will sail from New York City Thursday. on the Queen Mary, fer several months in Europe.
 In Washington they attended a Senate Territories Subcommittee hearing on proposed Hawaiian statehood legislation.
 We heard a lot of testimony dealing in generalities about the blessings of statehood, but not one witness presented factual cost estimate balancing the prob able expense and other disadvan- tages against the prospective bene- fits" Mrs. Monsen commented.
 Miss Dickey added:
 We want statehood when we can achieve it proudly and suc- cessfully, not when we would be inviting bankruptcy. When we get more people and more capital, statehood will come naturally"
