 REPAYMENT PLAN
 Although the act provides for repayment to the Federal Govern ment of from 25 to 75 percent of the cost" Morrell said, we have to think in terms of 50 percent, for we have to put half the total appropriation (s70,000,0O0 for the five-year plan) back in the United States Treasury.
 For every case where repayment would be at 25 percent, we have to find one at 75-and you won't find even wealthy community wanting to repay more than absolutely nec- essary."
 Morrell and his party expect to spend about three days in each of the three communities, allowing several extra days for weather or other delays. Tn the group booked for Anchorage today were Morrell, Lester Marx, Special Assistant to the Commissioner of Community Facilities; Mel Frazier, legal expert; Joseph Patton, financial analyst; and Miss Mary Mieczkowski, sec- letary. She, with Morrell and Marx, came to the Territory from the Washington, DC, office. They will be joined in Anchorage by John District Engineer, who has been to Nome and Fairbanks on preliminary trip.

First Dutch Harrison broke the

Skip Alexander. while Chick Har-

champion, of on the summer tour
for the first time since the early
1940s, took over the leading money

Open Champion Cary Middlecoff
with SIC, ,460 to $16.149.
On a day when all the scores
went up and the 68s Of Harbert
and Dick Metz were the lowest of
the day, Snead made the fewest
mistakes and won The Star Open
with a smashing die-birdie-par-
