NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Gen.
Eisenhower asserted yesterday
that II have said frankly over and

Then he added

er- Gen. Eisenhower replied:

Gen. Eisenhower quickly inter-
posed: you're wanting to bring

The general then reminded the
reporter he had stated his position
over and over again, and the re-
porter asked:
Would you run for the presi-

City Council Impatient With Utility

During the course of lively meeting of the City Council Monday night, which was at tended by approximately 25 townspeople, the Utility Board and Jack Jordan were criticized for delay in at least two in- stances.
 At the September 18, meeting, authorization was given for the purchase of additional cable to activate the air raid siren. Carpenters were paid to build the housing and install the siren, but Jack Jordan, manager of Seward Electric System speak ing for the Utility Board, agreed to string the cable synchroniz- ing the siren with that on the Fire Hall. The siren is intended for use as an auxiliary fire sig nal in windy weather, as we'll as an air raid siren. No further work has been reported.
 Chief Kielcheski complained that the electric pump for the dockside saltwater pumps has not been installed or put into use because of delay by Jordan in getting a line into that area.
 II am not so much interested in the siren, said Kielcheski "I can't fight fires with siren, what I want is a pump. Jordan stated some time ago that en- gineering is necessary before poles can be set along Railroad Avenue to the pump house. At that time he was also waiting for poles. They have been here for some time, 1 don't know what he is waiting for now, un- less it's because the ground is frozen and they can't dig holes, " the Fire Chief complained.

Land Purchase Approved
 By Committee

A committee appointed by the Mayor to study the proposal of Don Carlos Brownell for the purchase of his entire home stead property met with MT. Brownell Tuesday night to dis cuss the matter.
 The proposal was made when a petition was received from the Hospital Board to provide a suitable location for the con- struction of nurses home to replace the quarters destroyed by fire earlier in the year.
 Application has been made by the city for 75 bed general hospital building. The Women's Society for Christian Service of the Methodist Church, a na- tional society, has OK'd the con- struction of the home as first unit, to be financed entirely by the society. The hospital, how ever, would be municipal pro- ject.
 The site agreed upon by the City Council and Hospital Board lies upon the Brownell home stead east of First Avenue be- tween Madison and Monroe Streets and abutting Marathon Mountain. The cost of land for the entire installation was tenta- lively set at S5000 for the block.
 Mir BroWnell stated to the Council that he feels the town should own the entire property, for it's own protection" and offered the property, with the exception of his own home place, for the sum of $12,O0O, to be paid at the rate of S1OO per month over a period of 10 years, without interest.
 The Brownell Homestead ex- tends from and including First Lake, up Marathon Mountain to the tip of grassland (approxi- mately one-half mile) or a total of 200 acres, of which 40 acres are within the present city limits. A strip 13 feet wide ex-

Navy Captain Visits Here
 To See why

Captain P. s. Reynolds, USN, Chief of Staff for Logistics for the Commander of Alaska Sea Frontier, visited Seward for several hours Thursday as the guest of Commander Mcdonald and the City,
 Ostensibly Captain Reynolds visit was to inspect the set up in the Naval Control. of Shipping Office, under the command of Commander Mcdonald. The real reason for his visit, however, was revealed by his determina- tion to see for himself why It. Howard Jones and his crew on the SS Mahopac are so "crazy about the place."
 Captain Reynolds discovered the reason for Stewards reputa- tion with Navy men when he met with businessmen at an in- formal reception held in the American Legion Club just be- fore noon.
 The mayor, councilmen, Rev. Paul Irwin and about a dozen businessmen met with Com- mander Mcdonald, It. Glenn H. Easton, Jr., It. Stanley F. June man, and three Naval enlisted men, to receive Captain Rey- holds and It. s. B. Jenson, pilot of the PBY which landed at 1000 o'clock on the airfield as easily as the little passenger plane that just preceded it.
 Coffee was served to the party in the Legion Club by Mrs. Grace Merrill and Mrs. Ted Lesko, Legion Auxiliary. The officers had been told by a mutual friend of early days about a ball game played here between the ships crew and local men, of whom Gus Man they was the only name he could remember. MT. Manthey was present, and this led the con- versation into reminiscence. Don Carlos Brownell and Leon Ur- bach both recalled the days (Turn to Page 6)

Two Months Work Scheduled for
 Dock Rehabilitation

Although the emergency work on the Seward dock will be com pleted in another few days, ships are now unloading on a normal schedule so far as the condition of the dock is concerned. Dam- age sustained by the wind last week has been repaired.
 Two B&B crews, one and five, will continue on the job with about 20 men for approximately two months longer. Minor re- pairs are to be made, including new decking and piling. A new approach to the dock along Fourth Avenue and new cross over at the north end are con- templated, although authoriza- tion for this additional work has not yet been made.
 These repairs are figured to put the dock in condition for the next two years, it was stated here today.

Railroad Reports Repoirs on Loop: Speedier Schedule

Col. J. P. Johnson, general manager of The Alaska Rail- road, announced a new step-up schedule which will slash an hour and IS minutes off the run ming time between Anchorage and Fairbanks.
 According to the news release, "Atthe end of the month freight and passenger trains will be zip- ping over the new Turnagain Arm roadbed. Trains once held to 25 miles an hour in this dis trict can now clock off 45 miles an hour, and by the end of next year, trains will float over the new 115-pound steel rails from Portage, 50 miles south of Anchorage, all the way to Fair banks
 The report also states "that part of the railroad between Portage and Seward was getting attention, too. Four bridges in the Loop district were strength ened and orders placed for two steel bridges. These sturdy spans are earmarked for Mile 478 and Mile 51.8-the front and back doors of the Loop"
 The improved service is a dividend to railroad stockhold- CTS - the Alaskan taxpayers, :" Colonel Johnson said

CITY IS REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN LIGHT ON HEREINAFTER

Coast Guard authorities have ordered the city to maintain a light on the end of the break water at the small boat shelter harbor. This light was placed when the breakwater was built, but during the years since the war it has been allowed to go into disrepair.
 The light is an extension of the street lighting system, and will have to be put back into condition and maintained by that department.

Residents Request f Rat Elimination

Residents of Seward Housing Area appealed to Councilman Kirkpatrick, the Commissioner of Public Welfare, for some sort of rat control or elimination program. They will present petition to the City Council at the next regular meeting.
 Consultation with Wm. Deer ing, Department of Health Sani- tation officer brought out the following facts.
 Rats are here to stay", said MT. Deering. Every coastal city in the world has the same prob lem, control of which is not entirely a municipal responsi- bility Rats can be eliminated and controlled only by concert ed effort and cooperation of the residents in infected areas.
 Although the city dump is within a quarter mile of the housing area, rats do not leave the dump" MT. Deering said. "They have a place to eat and a place to breed right there, and they do not leave it. The rats in town areas live and breed just where they are being found"
 He gave as easons-uncover- ed garbage cans and garbage not in cans, but streWn on the ground. Junk piles and rubbish; open spaces under houses; emp ty houses and unused buildings and lumber piles.
