Chest Drive Expected
To Continue Another
Month 10 Reach Goal

| Washington's Community Chest
drive probably will have to keep
going for at least another month.
Chairman Hugh X. Duffield said
last night he doesn't expect to
wind up area-wide soliciting be-
fore mid-December.
Mr.. Dufheld said he still is
hopeful of reaching the 81, ,260 900
goal, although to date the drive
has brought in not quite SO mil
hon. 1t has been in progress since
October IL.
BY next week campaign leaders
hope to reach the amount raised
last year-$3,55 900. Mr.. Duffield
already has predicted the drive
will go well beyond that point.
Tuesday Meeting Set.
Because of the Thanksgiving
holiday. only one report meeting
will be held this week. All nine
units will meet at 1920 pm. Tues
day at the Hotel Washington. The
next report will be a week from
then.
1t is then that Mr.. Dufheld is
counting on matching last years
returns. Thereafter 1t will be the
campaign organizations task to
find enough new contributors to
produce the 100000 that still will
be needed.
About 100000 persons have con-
tributed so Tar. Last year there
were about the same number at
this stage of the drive, and 357 900
in all.
Solicitors are continuing to
stress the fact that part of the
Chest budget viii 60 to needs of
servicemen next year, More than
$230,000 is earmarked for this
purpose. The community response
to this aspect of the Chest appeal
has not been up to expectations,
however. according to the chair
man.
Army Posts Aid.
Mr.. Dufield said military posts
in the area apparently are fully
aware of this special fund, how
ever. They are contributing much
more generously than last year,
he said.
i The exact amount reported to
date is $2,929. .695-68 per cent of
the goal. The Government unit is
leading with 81 per cent of quota.
Fairfax County is leading nearby
units with SO per cent.
i Washington's smaller business
firms are coming through better
than last year. leaders reported
While the unit has just passed the
halfway point with respect to its
quota, it has 1900 more contribu-
tors than at the comparable stage
in last years campaign.
Washingtons pace is much
slower than some other big cities.
Cleveland, with a comparable
metropolitan population, raised
nearly $6 million and went over
Its goal several weeks ago.

Washington Newsletter
BY MARY LEE COUNCIL 'eOretary to Delegate E. L. Bartlett

throughout the country.
 Delegate Bartlett pointed out that construetion of small boat harbors and other aids to the fishing fleet in the territory would be a definite connection with the defense pro gram in facilitating the taking of marine food as vital in time of war.
 The II Alaska projects author ized by Congress in 1945, upon which no work has been started in over five years, were estimated in 1947 to cost an aggregate of only $1,169,000. The largest of these projects, a small boat harbor and dredging at Sitka was projected as costing SSS5. 1000. with dredging at Wrangell Harbor in the amount of $1S9,000, a channel through Gasti- neau Bar near Juneau for $155,0OO and construction of a breakwater at Metlakatla estimated to cost $120,000 the largest items among the Il authorized projects.

NATIONAL BANKS IN ALASKA

The House Banking and Cur reney Committee has approved Del egate Bartlett's bill seeking to amend what is considered to be an obsplete requirement. relating to funds the four national banks in Alaska must keep on deposit in vot- ing favorably this week to send the legislation to the house.
 Under present law, the national banks, which are located at Juneau, hetchikan, Anchorage and Fair banks, must retain two-fifths of the l5 per cent legal reserve in their vaults and are allowed to deposit three-fifths with a national banking association located in any one of the Federal Reserve centers. Dele gate Bartlett's committee-approved bill will permit the banks to retain one-fifth of the 1 per cent legal reserve on deposit and allow the deposit of four-fifths in the Federal Reserve banks.
 The old law is sought to be amended because it is felt that a reserve of two-fifths of the 15 per cent reserve is no longer necessary because of airplane connections be- tween Alaska and the States which speed the transportation of funds and also because there is consider able financial burden placed on the four national banks in Alaska be- cause of high insurance costs.

RIVERS, HARBoRs PROJECTS

Delegate Bartlett has urged Pres' dent Truman to include some, if not all, the II authorized river and harbor projects in Alaska in his 1852 fiscal year budget.
 The delegate's representations were made following the Presidents announcement that he was calling upon all federal agencies to curtail wherever possible expenditures not related to defense, the assumption being that this policy would result in notable reductions in appropria- tions for river and harbor projects

PULP LOGS

T feel very strongly that the Forest Service of the Department oI Agriculture is to be commended for having had the fortitude to stanu out against the very heavy pres surea which have been placed upon II by certain interests to permit the exportation Of logs from Alas ka," Delegate Bartlett recently de- clared in objecting to testimony submitted before a house subcom- mittee inquiring into the newsprint shortage in the country.
 The witness, an engineer from Vancouver, B. C., testified before a subcommittee of the house ju- dietary committee and recommended that the Department Of Agriculture reverse it's regulations to permit the exportatiOn of pulp logs from the territory to be proeessed else where.
 Stating that he believed the reg ulation of the department is wise and in the best interests of the country in~ general and Of Alaska Ill particular, Delegate Bartlett in formed Chairman Celler of the ju. dietary committee that, in n.s opin. ion, the long-term consequences tl Alaska of a reversal ot eAisuns regulations would be disastrous.
 Tt is estimated the delegat, pointed out, that i've or six milli now enYisioned for Southeasterl Alaska could supply u good part O the nations pulp requirements These five projected mills with tn, people required to operate them their families and service peopl, who would gather around woul, just about double the population o all of Southeastern Alaska.

The logs will be taken ou by relatively few people and ther will be no substantial gain to Alas ka itself"

13 Veterans 10 Fight
D. T.. Order 10 Scrap
Roofs on Rear Porches

Thirteen irate home owners
all of them veterans, are threat
ening a "sit-down strike" against
the District.
The dispute involves real
porches the veterans built or
homes they bought in the Chill
lum Castle Manor subdivision
which is in the area of the 6400
block of North Capitol street and
the first block of Tuckerman
street NV.
The home owners have been
given until April 18 to tear the
roofs off the porches. which were
built last summer. District Of
ficials say the roofs are in viola
ton of zoning regulations for the
area.
To Ask Rezoning.
"We're planning an appeal to
the District zoning Commission
to rezone the property and allow
us to keep our roofs" said Alvin
Greenland. 35 Tuckerman street
NV. But if that isn't done, we'll
pay fine or go to jail before We'll
take down those roofs. We're de-
termined on that score"
Mr.. Greenland puts the blame
for the whole trouble squarely on
the Building Inspectors Office.
Where were the inspectors
when we were building these
porches?" he asked. Some were
started in May. All were finished
during the summer at cost OF
about $500 each. We didn't hear
anything about their being illega
until December, when the con-
tractor was called to court. ~
HE was charged with violating
