On the reopening, the market also

Housing 10 Be Made; Group
Coming North for Purpose

WASHINGTON, May 27-R-.
Plans to conduct an on-the-spot
survey of Alaskan housing needs
were announced today by Federal
Housing Administrator Raymond
M. Foley.
A six-man group will leave for
the Territory next week to inves-
tigate means of expediting con-
struction of new dwellings there
under the recently-enacted Alaska
Housing Act.
Foley said the group will consult
with Alaskan officials and business
interests to determine how private
builders and lenders can best parti-
cipate in the program, and how the
act can be efficiently and economi-
cally administered.
Under the act, Congress autho-
rized FILA to insure mortgages on
Alaskan housing up to one-third
more than permissible elsewhere
because of higher construction costs
IL, the Territory. 1t also set up a
SIS 100000 revolving fund from
which the Alaska Housing Autho-
rity can make loans or otherwise
finance construction of housing
facilities.

RED HANGING
AT SHANGHAI.
Communist Occupation Is
Reported Complete
Fortress Folds Up
BY FRED HAMPSON

SHANGHAI, May 27. -lR--
The Red blanket of Communism
quietly enveloped all OF Shanghai
today.
The gunfire has ceased The last
Nationalist holdouts have Tsurrend-
cred. Veteran troopers peacefully
carried Red rule into the north
ern part of the worlds fourth larg-
est city.
The Communist occupation was
complete three days after it began.
Red political officers began taking
over the government of the greatest
Asian commercial center and it's
100000 people.
Fortress Folds Up
The Nationalist garrison of Woo
sung fortress folded up. The gov
eminent evacuation fleet pulled out.
down the Yangtze and into the
East China Sea.
The ships left behind the Ma
tionalist troops who had failed to
make the lO-mile northward march
down the Whangpoo River escape
corridor from Shanghai to Woo
sung. How many only the Reds
would know after they had rounded
them up.
Final Surrender
The sharp-but minor-fighting
for Shanghai really was over last
night. But not until today did
the handful of Nationalist. rear
guards who made the final, mad
stand in the heart Of the city
make up their minds to quit.
The Nationalist stayed as long
as they did because they were
afraid to quit.
1t was the foreigners trapped in
the buildings with them who finally
persuaded the last OF them to give
up.
Communist troops came out and
got them this morning. And the
thousands of suddenly freed civil
ians-Chinese and foreign burst
out into what had been a no-man's
land for so dangerous hours.
