NIT Of a radiant heating system.
Alternate plans of one, two,
and three-bedroom houses have
been developed.
The whole study has con-
clusively proved that a good con-
temporary house can be built to
meet any competitive market,
that the heretofore investment
builders attitude toward the So
called prohibitive architects fee"
does not exist and really is we'll
spent money on an investment
project. and that the buying pub
lie not only is receptive but
searching for the chance to elm
mate the necessity of buying small
double hung windows, shutters,
false chimneys, poorly ventilated
rooms, view through a maze of
muntin bars. picture windows"
that put the family on display,
and kitchens as far removed from
use as is possible.
so far 18 of the houses have
been built. Four have been a
three-bedroom alternate scheme.
and three houses have been built

Every room in the house opens

THE screening fences eliminate

the property owner nor the neigh

THE house consists of four

Regarding the Massachusetts
house, the jury had this to say:
THE Massachusetts house was
liked particularly for its internal
plan arrangement. although the
jury questioned the lack Of ac-

planning seemed good, with the
possible exception of a window

1.-The specific problem was a
good contemporary low-cost house
that a contractor could build for
people who already owned a lot
but could not get such a house
built on their lot as an individual
because Of high costs.
"The general problem was to try
to arrive at a scheme, or direc-
ton, that would prove that the
small house can be built within,
or under, the cost limits already
dictated by the investment tract
builders; and yet give the buyer
something that permits the type
of living so much discussed by
architects today.
"The objective was to make all
this possible and still receive the
blessings Of the FILA. This par

 Here is a plan which, it has occurred to me- might be sble On March Is of each year the payers of income tax to the Government would figure their taxes as accurately possible and mail the return to the proper Collector of Internal Revenue. How ever instead of attaching check each citizen would attachs an affidavit from his bank the effect that the amount of tax due had been deposited in that bank and would not be used for any other purpose than the payment of taxes In no instance though,

fathers including the goal of world government.
 If we are realistic today, we face the discouraging fact that democ- racy is in danger of being lost by default.
 Faced with this situation, I doubt if Washington or Jefferson would rely solely on arms and things ma- terial. They would put all their pioneering resourcefulness, which conquered the wilderness, repelled foreign invaders and amalgamated thirteen widely separated colonies, into ending this age of fear.
 Jefferson would probably write a Bill of Rights" for the world. Washington, despite his farewell message" would begin to get be- hind the iron curtain with the ideals and ideas necessary to a lastiks yreaee. . Lhftbfn sarft Teddy Roosevelt would make a bold at tempt to bring about a change, even if they risked failure. For each knew that it was possible to accomplish the impossible.
 So we've got to revise our think ing and realize that democracy was great gift handed to us at great price. We have got to work just as hard to preserve it as Washington or Jefferson worked to
 stablish it. Washington sacrificed life of luxury for an ideal; Jef- Serson and Lincoln welcomed revol- utionary thinking. And if the physicists have made this one world in scientific fact, it is up to us to make it one world in political fact

Charges Disbelieved
CCordova Times)

We inclined to disbelieve the charges con- tained in the federal grand jury indictment against the Alaska Steamship Company.
 We have heard much complaint against the con- pany but the gripes all have to do with nfrequent service in the winter months or too high rates on pershable commodities. There is nothing strange in complaints of that nature for every steamship line has them.
 But have heard of any of the agents of the line holding fgurative pistol at the head of prospective shipper saying Ship with us, else!n
 If there had been real instances of that nature, it would not have been long before newspaper would have details and print them.
 Moreover, think the executive management of the line is much too shrewd to engage in such tactics
 We think this is instance where the Attorney General is either mistaken has been imposed upon. In either case think that office should root out the facts and correct what looks to us to be a very unfair attack.

The Daily Alaska empire., 1950-06-28
One World

What we don't seem to realize, however. 1. is since the scientists have made us neighbors to the restsof the world, we must begin thinking in terms of one world.
 When George Washington went to New York for the first inaugural, it took him fourteen days from Mount Vernon. Now it takes one hour. by plane, while in fourteen days. we can fly twice around the world. So the world today is one world in scientific fact, and we must begin to think of it as such in political fact.
 I do not care whether we call it a Federal World Union, or Uni ted. World Federalists, or a World Constitution. But I am sure that if Washington, Jefferson and Lin- coln were alive today, they would throw their great pioneering spirit into working for new goals.
 When they first wrote our con- stitltion, the skeptics told them that a Federal Union was impos- sibh. The colonies were miles ap- art, not only in distance, but in language, in customs, and in creeds. All they had was a common need fors survival.
 But Washington and Jefferson ovdfcame those obstacles to form a Federal Constitution that has become the greatest in the world.
 Rive years ago when I went to San Francisco to watch the diplo- mats from the United Nations, we thought we were taking a great step forward. But at that time, we, did not know about the atomic bomb And today, the United Ma tions, begged down by vetoes, par alyzed in this age of fear, is just as out of date as the cavalry ano infantry of Washington's army.
 The present generation has one great thing in common with the founding fathers-an urgent neec for survival And just as they fought to establish American dem ocbhcy, we have got to fight to es- tablish a world democracy-world brotherhood.
 Actually we are battling against ans idea-the phony idea of Com minism. But Teddy Roosevelt would be ashamed of the fight we are making We, in many areas are letting Russia win the battle of icreeds, without even giving om own creed good display in a biz show window We are supposed to be the worlds best salesmen. We've sold iceboXes to Eskimos, sun lamps to Hottentots. Yet we, a nation of crack salesmen, have partly lei the Communists outsell us.
 No good salesman balks at selling in competitors territory. Yet for a long time we have baked at selling behind the iron curtain, and we are still doing only half hearted job of it.
 But if we noio up the ideal of world brotherhood and sell it hard enough, we can penetrate the iron cuftain. But it will take just as revolutionary brand of salesman ship as that used by the founding
