M0RRELL TELLS kIWANIANS OF
 pWA PROGRAM

] Tt IS clear that the SfUUUU,UUo now authorized scarcely will scratch the needs of Alaska under the Pub lie Works Act We hope the sum can be increased after we have shown that this five-year plan is but beginning"
 So stated Arthur D. Morrell, De- putty Commissioner of the Bureau of Community Facilities, General Services Administration, after less than three days of personal investi- gation into the subject.
 The main speaker at todays lun- cheon meeting of the Kiwanis Club, Morrell explained several import ant phases of the projects which come under this bill. This is based on a Territorial, city or town ad- ministration repaying from 25 to 75 percent of the cost of a fed erally constructed project in the category of facilities.
 In this respect, Morrell told Xii wanians, except in very unusual cases, it would not be fair to re- quire 25 percent repayment from one community-say, Juneau-and 75 percent from another-say, An chorage.
 "So," he continued, along with other considerations, we must work out a balance there. The require ment is that the General Services Administration must return 50 per cent of the s7o.Ooo,Oo0 to, the United States Treasury.
 Eligible projects are all those of this category which the. legal entity can do of itself. From this quick preliminary survey, it looks as though the effect will be to double the amount of facilities pos sible without this act. It may amount to more than double" Morrell pointed out that no Fed eral agency may apply under PWA provisions.
 The two experts who will arrive here next week will be attached to the Juneau Office until perm anent replacements can be made. They are Mel Frazier and Joe Pat ton, legal and financial experts, respectively.
 We hope to recruit architects, engineers and members of the cler- ical staff up here" added Morrell, who spoke in terms of a staff of about 25 to 30 persons, and offices in Anchorage and Fairbanks, be- sides project engineers in the field.
 Five million dollars worth of construction under way by next spring is the immediate aim of the Bureau, and Morrell said he hopes that sum will be brought to SAP 100000 by the end of the 1851 fiscal year.
 By the end of the third year"
 he said, we hope the entire $70.-
 100000 authorized will be under contract. That would put us in a fine position to obtain further funds for much-needed Alaska projects" Joseph T. Flakne, Alaska Bianch
 Chief, Department of the Interior
 spoke briefly to Kiwanians, after
 the luncheon in the Baranof Gold Room
 What do I think about Alaskan"
 he repeated, from President Stanley Baskin's introduction.
 ], /! "A lot-and all good!' , "Of many trips,' Flakne said, } this one shows the greatest re-
 suits of development. I'm especially | popped up over. the fine things : that have occurred in Juneau. First, the impressive airport 5 building, then the ride over a fine, : surfaced road lots of street pav- ing and new buildings And a gen. eral polishing up everywhere. !
