RESERVE BOARD
 PREDICTS RISE
 IN CONSTRUCTION

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17-R-A forecast of further moderate in- creases in construction work in the near future came from the Fed eral Reserve Board today.
 Because construction is one of the main bulwarks of business activity and employment, this fur nished some backing for a predic- tion by Secretary of Labor Tobin that employment will go up by 100000 the rest of this year. Tobin made the prediction at the White House yesterday.
 The Reserve Board, in a publi- cation, noted contract construction was providing jobs for more than 100000 workers at mid-year.
 Even while activity declined sub stantially at the nations factories and mines in the spring and early summer, the Board report showed. construction was scoring a more than seasonal rise from its low winter levels.

 DISCOVERED, DIVER

SMUGGLER'S COVE, Calf, Aug. 17-lR-An unbelievable world, ,' 4500 feet under the sea and filled with weird and wondrous creatures, has got its first glimpse of man.
 The man was Otis Barton, ma- rine explorer, who in his new diving bell, the benthoscope, set a new deep sea diving record yesterday, He descended to 4,500 feet, better ing his own record of 3028 feet, achieved off Bermuda with natur- alist William Beebe.

GOD LINERS MAY BE WORTH SAVING
 I5 REPORT OF FWS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17-R- Pacific cod livers, now wasted by the ton, probably are worth saving fer their oil and vitamins, the Fish and Wildlite Service an- nounceS.
 A report by chemists F. B. San ford, Seattle, and H. w. Nilsson, College Park, Md, said large-scale analyses of the cod livers during 1947 disclosed a high content of vitamin A and B.
 As the season advanced from May to August, they said, the oil content of the livers increased while the vitamin A potency of the liver oil decreased.
 Hence, if only limited space is available on board ship for stor- ing the livers, they should be taken during the early part of the sea- son." they said.
 Many tons of flyers were dis carded at sea as waste by-product of the cod fishery.
 By 1947, the price of vitamin A was high enough to warrant saving the flyers.
 .The results of the analyses in dicate that Pacific cod livers are a marginal source of vitamin A which might be utilized at profit under favorable market conditions.

"If community facilities indi- cate the degree of a peoples civili- zation, a large part of Alaska is still savage"
 The quotation is from Joe Alter, director of the Division of Sanita- tion and Engineering of the Alaska Department of Health.
 Alter gave Kiwanians a very "un- civilized" picture of present com- munity facilities such as water supply and sewage disposal, then told of progress toward their inn provement.
 Largely through the Health De- partment, steps are being taken to supply the facilities, through Fed eral participation.
 Tt now remains" said Alter, flor the push of the local people that will supply action
 Alter discussed such legislation as the Community Facilities Bill and the Alaska Public Works Bill, in relation to future improvement of the Alaskan picture.

 Beth sides said the fight on No. 2-to transfer the Bureau of Elm ployment Security from the Fed eral Security Administration (FSA) to the Labor Department-prob- ably would wind up in an Admin1s- tration victory.
 Leading opponents said privately that the necessary 49 votes-re- quired majority of the full Senate could not be mustered to support the resolution of disapproval.
 The Presidents plan for a new Welfare Department combining the functions of health, education and welfare under single Secretary of cabinet rank was sidetracked late yesterday by 50 to 32 vote-ll mere than required.
 The fight centered largely around CD Oscar Ewing, present FSA ad- ministrator and MT.

SKAGWAY MAKES IT
 CLEAR REGARDING NEW AIRPORT THERE

SKAGWAY Alaska, Aug. 16.- fSnecial to the Empire)-An ar ticle appeared in the Juneau Elm hire. dated Friday, August 12, un- der the heading "Skagway Pro- tests Airport" and the majority ot the residents of Skagway wish to take exception to this article and to the adverse publicity given Skag- way toward the badly needed inn movements to the airport at the present time.
 There are signatures of a large majority of the residents of Skag- way to an article stating that we. the undersigned residents of Skagway, favor the improvements to the Skagway Municipal Airport in accordance with the present plans as approved by the CAA and the Territorial Department of Avia- ton, or an alternative plan to build @ breakwater and extend the airport in that direction.
 We are definitely opposed to any plan to move the airport to Dyea. There are few protests toward the extension of the pres ent field. These are mostly from property owners whose homes would have to be moved. If these inn movements were made it is un- fortunate that it is necessary to move these homes, but the resi- dents of Skagway should not be deprived of badly needed transpor- tation and mail facilities because of the sentiments of few peo- pie.
 The article stated the extension Of the present runway would takt away a fourth of the towns tax able area. Actually the taxes de rived by the city from the proper ty involved is now less than $20t per year. The article stated two alternate plans are being consid' cred, one to build a breakwatel and extend the field in that di. rection, and the other plan to con. struct a new airport in the Dyes area.
 "Skagway needs flood control.
 "Skagway needs a new airstrip
 Tt would seem the ideal solution to coordinate these two project and thus eliminate the necessity O moving homes"
