Long Debate Expected
On Veterans Pension
And Army Money Bills

vigorous debate this week, with
the Rankin veterans pension bill
and the Army Department civil
functions appropriation bill sched-
uled for consideration.
When Chairman Rankin of the
Veterans Affairs Committee calls
his World Wars pension measure
to the floor Tuesday, opponents
will strive for drastic contrac-
ton in the scope of the benefit
proposal.
The House will meet at II am.
one hour earlier than usual
in an effort to complete action
in one day.
Majority Leader Mccormack,
however, has left his legislative
program for the balance of the
week flexible in case debate on
pensions continues Wednesdays.

 He brought out facts about the FILA in Alaska. Under the FILA plan for war housing and veterans emergency housing, the new hous- es were insured as follows: 1944-45 none; 1946 nine; 1947 to September 1947, 50 During this year, it will issue insurance on more than 100 individual homes, and will have is- sued insurance for apartments in the Territory, including several now in process before the end of the year, running into another $5,0O,- coo. This will make total of more than $18,000,000 by FILA on apart ments alone, and approximately a million dollars on individual homes.
 The goals set forth by Congress in passing the National Housing Act are to encourage improvements in housing conditions; to provide an adequate home-financing sys- tenn to make debt-free home owner ship possible to American families, and to exercise degree of stability in the mortgage and real estate market.
 Of particular interest to the club was MT. Staples report on the 84- unit apartment house to be erected on Fourth and Franklin in Juneau
