ALASKA STATEHOOD
 FuY and Fisheries Under H. R. 331
By BOB DeARMOND

vided that some special regulations are not made regarding fish and game on government reservations. Also, at the moment at least, we would have control of the salt water fisheries as other states pre- sently do not have.
 Encr0achment The Federal government for many years has gradually encroached upon what were once considered the rights of the individual states. One of the most recent of these en- croachments concerns the tidelands and adjacent salt waters of the State of California If the Federal government takes jurisdiction there 1t will undoubtedly, sooner or later, take jurisdiction over the tidelands and adjacent salt water in other states.
 Under the language of H.R. 33l, which gives the proposed State of Alaska only such rights as other states may have, the Federal gov- ernment would retain or eventually regain control of our salt water fisheries. This would mean Federal control of practically all of our com- mercial fisheries.
 I do not believe this is what the people of Alaska, and especially the fishermen of Alaska, want. The language of the bill is in this re- spect unsatisfactory and instead of giving Alaska something in terms of what has been given to other states lit should spell out in plain language what controls the new state is to have and should offer some guaran- tee that these controls will not be encroached upon by some present or future bureau of the Federal government.
 H.R. 331 is again vague and un- satisfactory in the wording of an- other provision of the fish and game section.
 All the property of the United States situated in the Territory of Alaska used in connection with the conservation and protection of the fisheries and of the fur and game of Alaska is hereby transferred and conveyed to the State of Alaska" according to the bill.
 When?
 Well, when is this transfer of property to take place? On the day the bill is approved by the Presi- dent? Or on the day the new state is actually admitted to the Union?
 As almost everybody in Alaska is aware, most of the property used in fish, fur and game protection and conservation is mobile gear, cons. sisting principally of boats and air planes. What will the outcome be if, on the day this transfer and con- veyance is to take place, the bulk of the property is situated in, say. Seattle instead of in the Territory of Alaska? Does Alaska get it or does Uncle Sam keep it?
 It is intended to suggest here that the Department of the In- terior or any of its branches con- templates pulling such trick. But the wording of this section shows how loosely the bill is drawn, so that a section purporting to give the new. state great deal might be interpreted to give it next to .noth- ing.
 The past, present and future fight for Alaska's control of her own re- sources will be discussed in the next article in this series.

$4,000 OutfieIder
Who Can Hit
BY Burton Hawkins

CLARK GRIFFITH has a
~ $4,000 package he'll. pre-
sent to Washington baseball
fans on opening day. and the
customers may be excused for
being curious concerning the
contents.
Griffith's gift is all wrapped
up in Irving Noren, a 25-year-
old outfielder, in whom the
Mats boss made the biggest
player investment of his 80
years.
Sight unseen. and on the
telephoned recommendation
of Bucky Harris, now manag-
ing the Mats but last season
the skipper at San Diego,
Griffith shelled out $4,000
cash to the Brooklyn organ
ization to obtain Noren from
Hollywood last fall. In addi-
ton, Griffith dispatched Out
fielder John Simmons to
Montreal, another Brooklyn
farm, and promised another
player or $4,000.
Thus, Noren ranks as the
most costly performer ever
landed by Griffith, but his
background would indicate
it's a calculated risk. He was
the Texas Leagues most val
liable player In l948, and last
year he won the same honor
in the Pacific Coast League.
Only once in his four minor
league seasons did Irv bat
below 1926. He launched his

Home Building In Nation Shows Decline For First Time In Year
October Starts
Are Just Under
Peak in 1949
Credit Curb Effects
Still Undetermined
By Labor Bureau

Home building in the Nation has
started to decline for the first time
this year.
This was reported today by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics which
said preliminary estimates indi-
cate October starts were 100000,
10 per cent drop from September.
Total starts in October of per-
manent non-farm dwellings were
Just under the 104, ,300-unit volume
OF October, 1949, when housing
activity for that year was at a
peak.
Credit Curbs Studied.
The agency commented that
October marked the first month
this year that new housing volume
was under the level of the cor
responding period of last year
It insisted, however, that "at
this time the effect on housing
starts of credit regulation x and
related curbs canont be de-
ter7nined."
The Federal Reserve Board
ordered strict credit curbs on
housing, effective last October IL.
BIS said that during the first
10 months of this year 1909, 100
new dwelling units were put un-
der construction. This is az per
cent above the $4,000 started
in the same period last year.
Public housing accounted for
$4,000 units of this years total,
which BIS said was 80 per cent
under 1949
Seven Month Estimate.
Final estimates for the first
seven months of 1850 show some
increase over last year in the
proportion of housing built in
urban areas, and a decline in the
proportion of rental-type housing
put under construction.
OF the total number of nom
farm dwelling units begun dur
ing the first seven months, SO per
