 She denied emphatically that there was any intention of closing Winfield home if it were under the regulatory setup. She expressed a belief that such a fear was appar- enly responsible for Miss Fields opposition.
 Miss Field told the House mem- bers the Public Welfare Depart ment never has given me a fair deal,' and asked: Why do they keep wanting more authority?"
 Mrs. Lyle Johnson, another Ju- neau vicinity home operator, told the legislators she was strongly for the bill, although she was glad to see the House modify the penalty provision. She said she felt such measure would be a protection for the established homes against "fly-by- night" operators.

ALA5KA LIVING
 COSTS SURVEYED
 BY OSCAR DAM

If we are to attract the highest type of employees to Alaska, which is good for Alaska as well as the agency, there absolutely must be a higher compensation"
 Such is the main conclusion drawn by Oscar w. Dam, special representative of the National Fed eration of Federal Employees, who will discuss his Alaskan survey for NFFE members at tonights 7:30 o'clock special meeting in the Elks' Hall.
 He came to Alaska to investigate the need for a cost-of- living salary differential, and will have real sta tistical data to present, after he goes through thousands of ease history" figures and assemblies them.
 ITO have satisfactory working conditions in Alaska for Govern ment employees said Dam, living conditions in the States should be duplicated. We should not be sat- isfied to reduce the standard of living.
 Did you know" queried Dam, that 50 per cent of women en- ployees return to the States? That, in some of the big agencies, there is 1c0 per cent turnover? These facts" he continued. indicate that the cost of living is wrong
 The housing shortage, and the expense of housing, offer the most serious problem to Federal em- ] ployees, according to Dam. Food costs make it worse. Among the reasons for dissatisfaction in bring Ing families is the need of sending students outside for advanced edu- lcation in many specialized subjects As in the States, an estimated 75 i per cent of Federal employees are in the lower grades-clerks and similar categories. Due to condi- tions in Alaska no help can be ob- tained at the usual starter-"CAF 2", grade which pays S220 less tax, so the next one, at $250, be- comes the lowest"
 One agency claims that the diff ference between comparable posi- tons here and in the States is Sl,350 year. The same department head estimates that the cost of liv- ing for employees earning less than S3,C00 is 40 per cent more than in the States; and from 20 to 30 per cent for those making more than $3,000
 We'll ahead of his departure for ! AlaSka-his first trip here and his first airplane ride-Dam sent ques- tionnaires to employees all over the Territory. Thus, he was able to gather numerous figures to go with personal interview reports.
 He is Investigating housing, food heat and ether utilities, transporta- tion to and from the States, medi- cal facilities and recreation.
