TENTATIVE PLAN TO HELP BRITAIN
 UNDER DISCUSSION

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-IR-A tentative plan for helping Britain out of it's financial crisis is expect ed today from final discussions of American, British and Canadian fact-finding officials.
 Representative of the three gov ernments have been meeting twice daily for the past week to explore the problem. They hope to complete an agenda today that will permit their foreign ministers next week to discuss stop-gap measures to ease the drain on Britain's dwindling reserves. But officials agree they will not by themselves solve Brit aims long-range problem: Its in ability to earn enough dollars to pay for what it buys from the United States and Canada.
 The basic solution to this is be- lieved to be an intensive drive by the Labor government to reduce British production costs and thus make it easier for British products to compete in the world market

 RUSS THREAT

JUNEAU HOUSING MAY COME NORTH
 IN BARGEL0AD5

War surplus housing may be shipped north to solve the Juneau and Coast Guard housing shortage
 This was the plan put forward in a meeting called this morning by Federal Housing Administration officials.
 However, the plan is still just a plan, Roy Mackay, construction examiner FILA, warned after the meeting.
 Housing officials will meet to- morrow for further discussion of the plan when Alaska Housing Authority representatives arrive from Anchorage.
 We're anxious to provide hous- ing for the Coast Guard people, v Mackay said. But we don't want that housing to be an eyesore."
 The meeting today was held in the US. Bureau Of Mines offices in the Federal Building.
 The plan put forward suggested shipping war surplus housing from Bremerton, Wash, by barge. Clln- ton C. Staples. director of FILA here, was not able to make a de- cision until the war surplus hous- ing itself is inspected and the idea is presented to FILA authorities m Washington.
 At the meeting today were George Sundborg, consultant to the Alaska Development Board; Ut. Comdr. Edward P. Chester Jr., mill- tary aide to the Governor; R. D. Egge, Sealand Construction, Inc, of Seattle; Mackay, and Staples.

EXTENDED SEASON
 IS SUBJECT OF TALKS BY FW5, OPERATORS

US. Fish and Wildlife Service officials met today with represen- tatives of the fishing industry and civic leaders, to consider extending the commericial fishing season scheduled to close tomorrow.
 Should there be an extension, announcement will be made tomor- row, FWS officials promised.
 Seton Thompson, FWS chief of the Branch of Alaska Fisheries, said this morning that this years run is one of the finest pink sal mon showings Southeast Alaska has had in many years
 Tt was unexpected he said.
 Close to 2500,0o0 pink salmon have been packed each day of the season.
 The question of escapement re- mans: proper use of the fish run would mean enough late salmon to seed the remaining streams, but not too many.
 Fishery men met today to add their observations of the condi- ticn of the run to those of FWS men. These, with extensive last minute surveys by FWS patrols, will be the basis for the decision to close or extend the season.
 Thompson pointed out that the run may drop off abruptly, and that last-minute observations are important.
 Any extension will pe for period of a few days only, he said, with further extensions if the condition of the run warrants it.
