AHA COMMISSION STARTS ALL-WEEk
 SESSION IN JUNEAU

In the effort to be prepared TOT action the minute the Alaska Hous- ing Authority's $1O,ooO,O0O revolving fund becomes available, AHA Com mission members are meeting here this week with E. Glen Wilder, AHA Director.
 Sessions opened this morning in the City Council Chambers, with all members present. They are: The Rev. Paul c. O'Connor ot Hooper Bay, tSecond Division i, Chairman; Jake Cropley of Juneau, vice-chairman Mayor z. J. Lous- sac of Anchorage, Mrs, Louise Weaver Miller of Ketchikan, and Harold Byrd of Flat.
 Gov. Ernest Gruening spent much of the morning going over plans with the Commission.
 We hope the S1O,O00,000 revolv- ing fund will be made available early in October" said Director Wilder today. 'The appropriation is in the Third Deficiency Bill which has passed both houses, but, with it's revisions, now needs to be passed by joint House and Sem ate Conference Committee.
 While this will be too late to initiate comprehensive housing program this year." Wilder con- tinued, the emergency in Juneau is such that we hope to get started here, at least.
 Chiefly, our work this week is of general planning to carry through the winter for a concerted effort at the spring breakup.
 Wilder hopes the present meet ing, which is expected to take all week, will result in revised regula- tions and a general program under the expanded housing program for the Territory, and that basic policies will be established
 We want to be able to answer all the questions about how to get housing, the minute the money is available he emphasized, "we want to be able to move immedi- ately, and be ready with all the answers"
 Three officials from outside are expected here on the Aleutian to- morrow, to meet with the Commis- sion. The two from the Public Housing Administration are espec- ially interested in a program of low rent public housing for Alaska under the recently enacted l949 housing act.
 "The AHA" said Director Wilder in this connection. expects a good program under that act, whereby low-rental housing for families of low incomes, will replace sub- standard, or slum, housing through out the Territory. It is estimated that at least 50 percent of Alaska housing is below standard"
 The visiting officials are A. D. Silverman, Assistant PHA Commis- sioner from Washington, DC; M. c. Redman, Director of the PHA Field Office in Seattle, and Robert Kipu of UyaShinpt0p nc who rpn- resentS the Housing and Home Finance Agency.

 FISHING SET
Slightly Smaller Run Fore. cast as FWS Meets
 with Fishermen

At a hearing with fishermen in the Senate Chambers today, Fish and Wildlife Service officials an nounced the 1850 pink salmon sea- sons for Southeast Alaska.
 Forecast for the 1850 run was also given.
 The northern area including Icy Strait, Chatham Strait, Peril Strait and Sitka area-has been given open dates from August g to September 3.
 The remainder of Southeast Alaska-from Sumner Strait south will be open from August IS to September 8.
 However, if conditions show any change in open season should be made, they will be made, FWS offi- cials said.
 They pointed out that the sea- son in the Northern part of South east Alaska was opened early this year.
 Next years run should be much the same as this years, Seaton Thompson, FWS official presiding over the hearing, said.
 Survival of the seed from which this years run came amounted to two percent of the estimated amount of eggs laid in the streams.
 Survival of the seed from which next years run will come amounted to l.8 percent.
 The figure is Eascc on the esti- mated number of eggs laid and the actual count of young fish bound downstream at the FWS biological station at Little Port Walter on Chatham Strait.
 Today's hearing, in which fish, ermen made recommendations fol changes in fishing regulations is the first pest season hearing in Southeast Alaska this year.
 Only l2 representatives of the fishing industry were present.
 Thompson said this small at tendance reflects the good season this year. A bad season would have resulted in more complaints about the seasons regulations.
 Among the recommendations made to F'WS officials at the hear ing were those by Doty Brown, president of the Taku Gillnetters, union.
 He asked that gillnet length be cut from 250 fathoms to 150 fathoms in the Port Snettisham area. He said that Stikine gillnet- ters had crowded the area with long nets this year and local fish, ermen feared the area would be overfished.
 He also recommended that the area open to gillnetters be extended to Sentinel Point; for, he said, gill; netters going to sleep as they drift are in danger of being carried by the current into closed areas while catching nap.
 Thompson said the hearings give FWS a method of getting local opinion which makes regulation of fishing simpler for FWS and fish, ermen.
 The recommendations will be weighed after hearings have keen made in the other parts of South east Alaska. Regulations will be based on information obtained at the hearings, along with needs as seen by FWS.
 Another hearing will be held by FWS in Sitka Wednesday.
