 AGENCIES
 SHIFTED
StreamIining in Reorgani- zdtion Plan Report
 ed Effective

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-lR- Seven federal agencies were shift ed or streamlined today. That just about completes government reor- ganization for this year.
 No more major changes are likely until l950.'
 Congress and President Truman, by means of five laws and six reorganization plans, have gone part of the way in carrying out the recommendation of the commis- sion headed by former President Herbert Hoover
 Robert L. L. Mccormick, director of the Washington office of the Citizens Committed for Reorgani- zation-an outfit created to work for the Hoover Commissions pro- posals-told a reporter:
 "The accomplishments up to now have far exceeded our expectations, but some of the most important legislation is still before us and the road is long,
 Here is the score for 1949.
 Six reorganization plans took ef- feet technically at midnight last night. The US. Employment Ser vice and certain other functions moved into the Labor Department
 The Bureau of Public Road nov ed into the Commerce Department
 The No. l officials in the Post Office Department, Civil Service Commission, and Maritime Com mission got more administrative au- thority.
 The National Security Resources Board and National Security Coun- cil became parts of the Executive Office of the President.
 Several of the many government agencies in Alaska are concerned in the shifting or streamlining pro- gram.

WASHINGTON There is little of commendable note in the record of the "Eighty-worst" Congress, but it is outstanding in one re- gard.
 That is the group of able, dyna- mic and courageous new members in the House.
 Most of them are Democrats, due to the big over-turn last year. Representing all sections of the country, most of them are young. But regardless of age. party or region, all have one thing in com- mon.
 They are iberal-minded.
 Also, the most forceful among them are war veterans. Whether this service is the cause of their militancy is conjectural. But it is fact that these men, who fought for democracy in combat, are talk ing democracy very seriously in public office.
 As freshmen, they are nominally

SENATOR'S
 SHUT OUT
 BY KINDER
By JOE REICHLER

Ellis Kinder, dropped by the New York Yankee organization eight years ago, is finally paying off on the $65,OO0 investment made on him by the Boston Red Sox in 1947.
 Entrusted with few starting assignments the 35-year-old Kin der showed only mediocre A record by June 12 this season.
 Then, without warning, Kinder got hotter than the midsummer weather. He reeled off II straight victories in games in which he was starter. His only defeat during the last two months came in relief role
 Kinder reached his peak last night when he shut out the Wash ington Senators, 60, on three singles. It was his fifth straight triumph and his 18th of the year against five defeats. Not even 18- game winning Mel Parnell, the leagues biggest winner and Kin der's teammate, has pitched better during the last eight weeks.
 The Red Sox colIected only six hits themselves, but benefited by Dick Weik's wlldnesS to tally six runs in three innings to win their eighth straight from the Senators.
 The victory enabled the Bosox to remain four games behind the pace setting Yankees, who came from behind to defeat the Philadelphia Athletics, "A It also kept them in second place, game in front of the Cleveland Indians, who shut out the Chicago White Sox. 20.
 NATIONAL LEAGUE
 The National League pennant race is all knotted up again follow ing Brooklyn's victory and St. Louis defeat last night. Brooklyn won a GA, 12-inning thriller from the Boston Braves, while the Car dinals bowed to the Pirates in Pittsburgh, 8-2.
 The fifth place Philadelphia Phillies moved to within half a game of third when they beat the New York Giants, 7-1. They trail the fourth place Braves ty a frac- tion of percentage ptant. Chi cago's Cubs whipped the Cincinnati Reds, "A, in the battle for the eel lar. Detroit divided a doubleheader with the St. Louis Browns, winning the second game, Az after the Browns had won the opener, 4-3. Rain halted the second game after six innings.
 Tommy Heinrich was the big gun in the Yankees victory over the Mackmen. After four Philadelphia errors had enabled the Yankees to pull even at A, Heinrich singled in two tallieS in the sixth to break the tie, then hammered his 22nd home run in the eighth to give relief pitcher Duane Pillette the victory.
 Mike Garcia, with help from AL ton Benton, pitched the Indians to their shutout win over the White Sox. A home run by Bob Kennedy, followed by Garcia's double and Dale Mitchell's single, accounted for the two runs off Randy Gum pert.

APARTMENTS BUILDER ASKS
 FOR FILA AID
of 84-Unit Building 10 Start
 Within Month

Construction is expected to start within a month on an 84-unlt apartment building here, according to Federal Housing Authority ofti- cials and others closely connected with the project.
 Formal application, complete with the necessary documents, was made for a $991 ,O00 FILA. loan a few minutes after G. R. Sumpter reached Juneau yesterday from Seattle.
 According to John H. Carter, Jr., acting FILA director for Alaska, the application (for an insured mort gage under Section 608) will be pro- cessed speedily, and probably com mitted before September l. It will be handled by the National Bank of Commerce.
 Sumpter, who is president of the Washington Mortgage and Insur- ance Company, represents Martin Anderson, Seattle contractor who is putting up the seven-story build ing at an estimated cost of $1,- 126,000.
 The new structure, which will help ease Juneau's critical housing problem, will be on a 100xl00-foot site on the northeast corner of Fourth and Franklin streets.
 It will be of fireproof, steel and concrete construction, and will in- clude a 25-car garage. Rentals will range from $80 to $125, depending on the size and location.
 Units will be two and three room efficiency apartments, the largest having one bedroom. How ever, the apartments are so de- signed that two single-bedroom apartments can be converted into one unit with two bedrooms and one bachelor apartment.
 Construction should begin some time in September, according to Carter, who expects all financial arrangements to be completed by September l.
 Foss and Malcolm, Juneau archi- tects, are associated with Earl Mor- rison & Associates, Seattle, while Raymond Wright of Seattle is at torney for the project.
 Walter Hutchinson, attorney fol the Western Zone of the FILA, with headquarters in Portland, Ore, ar rived with Sumpter, and took part in yesterdays conference.
 Both were to go to Anchorage today with Carter, Hutchinson to supervise closing of arrangements for the two apartments to be built there by Lewis Construction Con- pany. Sumpter also represents Lewis.
 The Anchorage project will be possible through an FILA loan o1 $7,74O,4 400 for construction of a series of garden court apartments of 682 units, to cost more than $9,000,000.
 To be known as Turnagain Arms the project will have AIS on-pos' apartments at Fort Richardson, and 264 more across the bluff road on Alaska Railroad Company property Turnagain Arms is a planned grouping of two-story buildings h a garden-type grouping with lawns and winding driveways. Units vii have one and two bedrooms. There will be garage space for more thar 300 cars. Ground is to te broker Monday.
 Carter plans to return to Juneau Tuesday, then go to Seattle te brief" c. c. Staples, who has been named permanent Alaska FILA director to succeed the late Harry I. Lucas. Carter will return to his position in the Seattle regiona office, from which he has been or leave pending Staples arrival.
 Staples, whose last FILA position was in Pasadena, is in Seattle now and is expected in Juneau about September l.

partment and the three subordin-

Aon. Mr.. Hoover estimated II

nent chairman would be the prin-

House Fate Uncertain
After Senate 0Ks Bill
Tightening Unifieation
BY the Assoeioisd Press

Some of the plans Of the late
James v. Forrestal for more team
work among the Army, Navy and
Air Force have taken one big step
toward coming true
The Senate approved a bill yes
terday for tighter unif1cation, but
1t faces an uncertain future in the
House.
For one thing, the House Armed
Services Committee has held no
hearings on the unifcation amend
ments this session.
And Chairman Vinson has told
friends he believes Secretary Of
Defense johnson, Mr.. Forrestal's
successor, now has ample powers.
Mr.. Forrestal, the first Secretary
of Defense. recommended the
changes before he resigned and
became Ill after 18 months of try
ing to get the three services to-
-sether. He killed himself Sunday.
Follows Week Of Debate.
In broad terms, the Senate
approved bill would clarity and
expand the direction and control
Of Mr.. Johnson and future Sec
retaries of defense over the spend
ing policies of the three military
departments.
Senate approval came last
evening on a voice vote after
nearly a week of debate.
A long series of amendments
came from Senator Morse, Re-
publican, of Oregon, only men,
ber of the Armed Services Com
mittee who voted against the
committee bill. He said he wants
more unification" than the Sen
ate majority.
He won acceptance Of only one
proposal-authority for the Presi-
dent to transfer officers between
the Army. Navy and Air Force,
without loss of grade or other
rights. Consent Of both the
officers and the services would be
required.
Revamps Fiscal Setup.
The bill retains prohibitions
against shifting assigned func-
tions between the three depart
ments. This amounted to rejec-
ton Of Senator Morse's argument
that the Secretary Of Defense
should be able to tranfer Marines
