ARCHITECT ESTIMATES
 PLACE SCHOOL ADDITION

NEAR $1l3,OOt
 William A. Johnson, a specialist in designing school buildings who is designing buildings for the Wrangell and Anchorage school systems, was in town for a few hours on Wednesday meeting with City Council members.
 One plan he presented was a. greed upon by the Council, but as a quorum was not present no def mite action will be taken until next Council meeting. Acting May or Peter Mccormack said the delay would enable the Council to get more definite information on the financing of the building
 According to Mccormack, the architect estimates that it will take every cent of the $113,00O the town has expected to have to work with. The Territory is ex- pected to contribute $2S,00O to- ward the construction, under re- cent Territorial legislation. How ever some of the Territorial tax laws are being contested, and if they are declared illegal, it will leave the Territory short of funds This may hold up the $28,000 go- ing to the Wrangell school. The town recently bonded itself for the $85,000 balance.
 MT. Mccormack stated that the plan agreed upon is for building of concrete block construction. MT. Johnson, he said, felt that this would be the most economical structure, as well as longest last ing.

 They include testimony by committee investigator that Mara gon made deposits of Sl19,608.6l in checking accounts over five year period. Maragon previously had sworn at a hearing behind closed doors that his income over the same period totalled only around S30,000.
 Hoey said that in addition to the Maragon evidence, testimony regarding any government officials whose names have cropped up at the inquiry will be turned over to the departments concerned.
 A neWsman asked whether that meant the testimony dealing with Vaughan would be laid before MT. Truman. Hoey said the committee won't take the initiative in that case.
 We won't send it unless the President should ask for it." he re- piled. That's a different matter. It is the Presidents prerOgative to ask for it if he wants it."
 As for Vanghan's bank accounts, Hoey was asked in a radio inter- view Friday night whether the committee was looking into those as it did Maragon's.
 We have in a measure" he said, without explaining just how far the investigation has gone.

Truman May Seek Another Term

WASHINGTON, CP) - Some of President Truman's closest friends predicted today he won't let it be known until after the 1850 Con- gressional elections whether he will run again.
 They agreed he will stump around the country next year to get Congress to back his flair deal program"
 A substantial number of them expressed conviction MT. Tru- mans inclination is to leave the White House at the end of his present term in 1852.
 The President himself set off the speculation yesterday.
 He hinted-with a smile that might have meant anything-that he won't run in 1852. Gle will be 68 on May 8 of that year..
 But then, later he wouldn't say no, positively, or even probably
 IL was started when 96 teen-age girls trotted up to the White House to look it, and the Presi- dent over.
 One of the girls - students of government brought here by the American Legion Auxiliary, had asked about her chances of be- coming an ambassador five years from now.
 Reporting this, in one of his off the-cuff talks, MT. Truman said he couldn't promise anything that far away "because that is a year or two beyond the time when my term will expire"
 Reporters bounced upon the re- mark at a subsequent news con- ference. It sounded, they told him, like he would not be candidate in 1852.
 That, said the President, was the implication he intended.
 So they tried to nail him down, but failed.

Deafness Need
Not Be Disaster
BY DAVID TAYLOR Mh7kE
AP Nswssss.==ss


Suppose you have learned that
your baby is deaf. Probably he is
still very young, less than. year
old, and the deafness is a great
shock to you.
1t may seem cruel to say that
you are fortunate in learning of
the deafness so early, write Grace
Lassman and Harriet Montague in
an article entitled, ''The Deaf
Baby" in the current issue of The
Volta Review, but this is true, as
there is much you can do right now
to help your baby, much that can
be done more easily now than later
on. Knowing the truth now gives
you an opportunity to study and
adjust and prepare yourself, so
that when baby reaches the stage
when he Is ready. for formal teach
ing, you will understand the prob
lem of your child's deafness and
OF your child's problems.
The first thing 10 remember, say
the authors, Is to relax when you
begin to teach him, not to be tense
and worried about it, Talk 10 him
and sing to him as you would to
any baby. With hearing baby
you do not wonder whether he un-
derstands what you say; you just
go on talking, being sure that when
speech begins to have meaning fol
him, he will respond; and this IL
just as true of the deaf baby.
Everything he touches and doe:
and feels has an influence on hin
and an effect on hime, and this II
the time to begin making him fee
