AHA Will Help Private Enterprise House Alaska

pT1SeS TdUneT than the COnSCruC- tion of large numbers of govern ment housing units will be the objective of the Alaska Housing Authority, when Congressiona, approval of a fifteen million dollar housing appropriation fo1 the Territory is received, E Glenn Wilder told the Chamber of Commerce last week. MT Wilder is director of the Alaska Housing Authority.
 MT. Wilder said the lack of new construction is primarily due to the shortage of private capital, and it was the interest of the AHA to help private in- dividuals, through the National Mortgage Association, rather than to establish housing units, similar to the war housing proj- ects of the states.
 The recent housing legislation which awaits Congressional ap- proVal of the financial appropri- ation, has enabled the National Mortgage Association to come into Alaska. The agency now can increase the amount of it's loans in Alaska and can make construction loans in the Terri tory,
 Under the plan, every loan made in Alaska would have to conform to FILA requirements. However, according to MT. Wild CT, these requirements are being liberalized and made to conform to AlaSkaS own construction problems.
 The housing chief told the Chamber it would be possible to get housing in the Valley, under the new legislation, if there were any group or individual willing to undertake the sponsorship of a h ouS in g development. The AHA would assist in getting a mortgage loan and in carrying the program through FILA.
 Financing requirements call for a 20 per cent investment by the sponsor, including Ian d values. Interest rate on the mortgage would be Az per cent.
 MT. Wilder cautioned h t nothing could be done, other than preliminary planning, un- til money is appropriated to fi- nance the legislation. However he said his organization was do- ing everything possible to pre- pare the groundwork, and it was still his hope that some con- Struction could be started under the new program during the present building season.
 It is reported that there is at least one group of individuals in the Valley who are prepared to undertake a housing develop ment here, the moment the way is cleared by the Congressional

Snow Slide Gets Dotes- Crossed

A full 30 days late this year, the snow blanketing the steep canyon sides of Pioneer Peak slipped from place and tumb1ed down to the Anchorage-Palmer Highway last Friday afternoon. The fall of snow was smaller than usual, and the highway was not entirely blocked by the slide.
 Rusty Dow, who lives at the foot of Knik Bridge, saw the slide as it began to boil down the sides of Pioneer Peak. Huge boulders came down ahead of it and there was an awful roar," she described. Mrs. Dow watched the snow with field glasses until 1t descended to the highway, then drove to Palmer to report the occurrence to Clyde King, ST., Alaska Road Commission foreman.
 There was always one-way passage through the slide area, MT. King reported later. One party of tourists bound for An chorage drove past the mass of snow just a few minutes after it settled on the highway.
 The slide split, about two- thirds of the way down the mountain and reached the high way in two places. The snow piled up to depth of eight feet at the highway, and famed out in a bank about Is feet wide.
 Anchorage reports Friday eve ming erroneously announced that a part of Knik Bridge had been wiped out. The slide came down in it's usual location, which is about a quarter of a mile be- yond the bridge.

There were a lot of others in

came far more Sedate when the
Hays Office, predecessor of today's
Johnston Office. got fussy about
such things as dialogue and
decollete.
In 1888 Claudette Colbert bathed
in a black marble tub supposedly
filled with the milk of wild asses.
That was for the role of Poppaea
Sabina, wicked wife Of Nero in
THE Sign of the Cross" Miss
Colbert got wet again in 1884
when. like Paulette, she swan in

People"
Merle Oberon bathed in just
plain cows milk in "A. Night in
Paradise" in 1946. If this fluid
seems plebeian alongside Sabina's S
exotic medium, Merle made up for
it by using giant tub shaped like
a seashell.
Now Men Join Trend.
The shapely curves and spec
tacular legs of Marlene Dietrich
made bathing history in 1887 when
she took a plunge in Knight
Without Armor." An ultra-mod-
ern tub set off the charms of Joan
Crawford in THE Women" In
1899. The late Carole Lombard
answered telephone calls. ate her
breakfast and generally conducted
household affairs from her bath
in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," released
In 1941.

Paulette Goddard is glorifying
the bathtub again.
This is definitely old stuff to
Paulette, who has splashed and
sponged her way through four
pictures.
No actress. says one observant
studio carpenter. can claim full
stardom until she has had at least
one bath on the screen. The
pretty girl up to her neck in bub-
bles has been a favored Hollywood
eimmick for 80 years.
Stars as sedate as Greer Carson
have bathed in milk, champagne
(or even plain water) while the
cameras turned. The usual prop
for these ablutions is hand
carved onyx pool or maybe a gem
studded cockleshell.
In Anna Lucasta." however,
Paulette gets sudsed up in an
ordinary porcelain tub. That's
supposed to be realism. s,Tisn't

year she dunked herself chest

I've rust about come to the
conclusion that, for me. bathing
is not private affair" Miss God
daad observed while Rapper re-
arranged the silk stockings for the
tenth time.
Paulette declines to take credit
for popularizing such scenes
when I was working for Mr
De Mile" she said. "he told me
that the tub sequence was intro
duced in Old Wives for New,
back in 1918. He put over a dra-
matte point in that picture by
comparing the messy bathroom OF
Sylvia Ashton with that of Flor
ence Vidor, which was as faultless
