JUNEAU HOUSING. RATES NO. 1 PRIORITY GOV. TELLS WILDER

In a short conference with Gov. Ernest Gruening yesterday before going to Anchorage, E. Glen Wilder, executive director of the Alaska Housing Authority, told the Gov ernor he felt certain the Territory would receive at least sl0000, 900 for it's revolving fund. possibly the entire Sl5,00O,000 authorized in re- cent legislation. Wilder stopped here on his way home from the national capital.
 President Truman has signed the Alaska Housing Authority Act, but the appropriation has not been made.
 Governor Gruening said today that he urged Wilder to make all necessary preparations so there would be no delays once the funds are available, and called his at tention to the acute situation in Juneau

 Tt is of very great importance" he continued, that housing be provided for the personnel of the new hospital at Anchorage which is to have a staff of 300. If there is no housing when the hospital is completed-and the contract has been let-it will be impossible for the hospital to operate
 Wilder agreed that these things must be done"
 The Governor today added his protest to the proposed rent in crease for the Channel Apartments,
 The Federal government he said, should not take the lead in aggravating the cost of living. One increase of that kind merely accele- rates a round of similar increases, which eventually must be reflected in general increases of wages and prices.
 We had hoped" he added, that the deflationary cycle already be- gun would be reflected in some thing beneficial to the people who live here"
