Members Of the art jury that
found 50 few works of local artists
worthy of hanging in the Cor
coran Gallery of Art exhibit would
be encouraged if they came back
to view the high school art on
exhibit in the Commerce Depart
ment auditorium.
On view from 8 am. to 6 pm.
today and tomorrow, they are the
exhibits for the regional art
awards, sponsored locally by
Frank r. Jelleff, Inc. and ma
tionally by the Scholastic Maga-
zines, New York.
There are no first, second and
third prizes. Instead, the works
bring 100 creators gold keys and
are sent later to the Carnegie
Institute of Art in Pittsburgh to
compete in the national contest.
Names of the 100 key winners
were announced last night by the
Jellef corporation in the adver-
tising columns. of The Star.
Like every major exhibit. this
one had its embarrassing mo-
ments. The jury of art teachers
in Washington's institutions of
higher education had awarded
two gold keys to Elsie Marie Clark
when it was discovered that she
was an 11-year-old fourth grader
at the Wallach School and was
not eligible. The contest is for
high school students.
The students were allowed to
enter as many exhibits as they
wished. Walter Hawthorn of
Cardozo High School entered Is
water colors and won seven gold
keys, the largest number won by
any exhibitor.
Calvin Coolidge High School,
where Mrs. Yvonne Grace teaches
art, was ahead in the quantity,
quality and variety of exhibits.

Largest Pahey;; Picks
San Francisco in 1850

The leaders of the North Amer
lean Wildlife Conference yester-
day decided to hold the 1850
meeting from March to 8 in
San Francisco, before ending their
three-day annual meeting in the
Hotel Statler.
With a registration of las con-
servationists from the United
States. Canada and Mexico. it was
the largest meeting in the history
of the movement.
In q final summary of the i'm
port of the 65 papers read at the
conference, Gustav A. Swanson of
Cornell University pointed out
there is a growing recognition of
the futility of the stocking Of
game, especially quail. Other de-
velopments he noted were:
The growing of fish in farm
ponds has been very successful.
The only difficulty is that farmers
do not realize they should take
more fish out of these waters.
The problem of crop damage
from deer. which has become acute
IN many States east of the Missls-
sippi, may be solved by a chemical
developed by the B. F. Goodrich
Co., which, sprayed on orchards
and crops, repels the deer.
The duck population has in
creased in the last two years,
while the quail population has de-
creased over the last 10 years.

HOUSING PROBLEM IS DISGUISED AT JWC
 MEETING BY WILDER

"An acute need exists in every part of the Territory, especially
 in the Fairbanks and Anchorage i areas, for more housing" Alaska l Housing Director E. Glen Wilder declared at the Juneau Wopan's
 Club mseting "Wednesday in the ! Baranof Gold Room. "A decent standard of living with health, welfare and prosperity at stake are all dependent on an improve ment in living quarters fer many of OUT residents
 Don c. Foster, ANS Director, stated, as qoted by Wilder, that the hospital goal Of one bed for every 30 natives, is a high but necessary rate. The sad part of this need is that many persons are released ss cured, but become re-inaffeoted after returning to diseased conditions in their homes. Juvenile delinquency has a great e. frequency in sum areas.
 Alaska has an abundance of raw materials which can be con- ye1ted for the use of the rest of the world" Wilder continued, such as with the pulp industry, aviation, cement plants and synthetic fuel but more housing is the first pre- requisite. The diversion of mater ials during the war, the increase in marriage and families after the war, the deterioration of present structures and greatly increased costs all multiply the problems we face.'
 The Speaker told how the Alaska Housing Authority created in 1945 has to operate on "shoestring' from the revenues of the Federal units which it supervises, as the Legislature did not appropriate any money for a construction program With a bill now introduced by Delegate E. L. Bartlett in Con- gross. to appropriate S15,000,000 for Alaska Housing, companion bill has been submitted to the Alaska Legislature calling for an appro- priation of S250,c00 to aid in con- struction of homes. Provision is made that units can either be sold CT rented with construction by pri- vate enterprise whenever possible.

MATI0NALI5T5 ARE MAS5ING; TRYING
 TO SAVE RANKING
eBy The Associated Press)


 Chinese Nationalists massed 150,- GOO men on a 300-mile front today in an apparently hopeless effort to save Nanking, menaced by Com munist troops in double that strength.
 The governments forces already have abandoned Pengpu and evac- uated towns in the path of an ex- pected Communist sweep into the Yangtze River Valley. Pengpu had been an anchor of the governments Hawi River defense line. Nation alist headquarters were pulled back to Chuhsien, 30 miles northwest of Nanking.
 With the position of government troops before the capital daily growing more precarious, the gen. eral public and official bodies heightened the clamor for a nego- tiated settlement with the Con- munists.
