Assistance Will Be
 Given Eligible Needy

In view of the fact that mis- statements have been made re gently in regard to a controver- sial matter affecting the Terri tory through the establishment of reservations, MT. Henry A. Harmon, director of the Depart ment of Public Welfare, makes the following statement:
 The Department of Public Welfare follows the requirement of the Federal Security Agency that assistance be given to all eligible, needy persons, regard less of race or residence location within the Territory.
 Therefore, people receiving assistance under the Public As sistance programs would not be affected by either the establish ment or non-establishment of reservations. Whether people vote for or against reservations, will have no affect on their eli gibility, and the payments will continue to be determined only according to their need for aid.

FILA. Grants More Funds
 For AIaskans

Ending dramatic deadline race for Title eos housing, word was received in Juneau last Fri day that an additional $11, ,5OO,- 900 of private construction for Alaska had been committed by FILA. Ut was near photo finish" Clinton C. Staples, ter ritorial director of FILA re- marked, with a March l expira tion date on Title eos legisla- tion under which there is now assured more than S30,000,000 in apartment construction dis tributed from Ketchikan to Fairbanks. Such housing will provide approximately 2,500 in dividual units.
 In a statement to Governor Gruening, MT. Staples added that within 30 days some $50,- i 000,000 worth of military hous- ing would be insured by his office under provisions of the Wherry Act This would be in addition to the S30,000,00O of privately financed housing com mitted within the past six months.
 With the approach of the March deadline, Staples point cd out, virtually all states and territories anxiously sought to get under the wire by urging the commitment of their pend ing sos applications. Because applications in process exceeded the available insurance author ization by almost four to one, disappointment was inevitable for many. Alaska, in receiving one hundred per cent commit ment of all applications, real ized more favorable treatment than perhaps any other jurisdic- tion," Staples stated. MT. Staples paid tribute to the effective assistance of Governor Gruening and Delegate E. L. Bartlett in bringing the matter to a successful conclusion. He expressed appreciation as we'll for the efforts of Raymond M. Foley, administrator of housing and home finance, Franklin D. Richards, commissioner of fed eral housing, and M. J. Cassidy, zone commissioner for Alaska. But for their recognition of Alaska's problem, as voiced re- peatedly by Delegate Bartlett and Governor Gruening, we could not have received one hun dred per cent commitment of our applications in SO competi- tive a situation" MT. Staples de clared,
 With respect to prospective applicants who were unable to file applications under Title eos, MT. Staples noted that Section 207 of the National Housing Act is now in process of amend ment to replace sos. While it is unlikely that action in this respect will occur in time for utilization in 1850, there seems every assurance FILA insurance provisions comparable to sos will be available to private builders again next year.
 When Mr.. Staples visited Seward in November and talked with members of the city coun- Gil and townspeople about FILA guaranteed loans, he mentioned the fact that Title sos would end on March l., 1850. Speak ing to the effect that the govern ment in an effort to discourage too much high priced housing in Alaska favors a plan for low rent apartments, which is to be covered under the proposed amendment, Title 2O7.
 It is not to be construed that with the retirement of Section Title eos the prospect of FILA

Seq Hawks Return From Fur
 Rendezvous Series

Our Sea Hawks returned Mon- day, tired, frayed and discour- aged, but with chins up. No def mite word has been received here at press time as to the of ficial play-off with the Kodiak Class B team for the Western Alaska championship, but it is definite that Seward holds the Class A championship of the Railbelt.
 As challenger, Kodiak will have to come to Seward for the play-off, but rumor has it that guarantee of $500 will be neces- sary before the Islanders will make the trip. This has not been verified, and, according to Supt. Carl Carlson, final arrangements have not been completed
 In appreciation of the long grind and the good work our boys have been doing, the team is being honored tonight at a banquet in the Methodist Church parlors at 7:30 Many sports minded townspeople are expect ed to attend, and to contribute to the athletic fund by paying a nominal charge for the dinner.

Associated Press War Correspondent

NORTHWEST FRONT, Korea,
Dec. 6.-Parallel SO became a bar
rier today where Americans tried
to halt tide of human misery
moving with the United Nations
forces in their retreat to the south.
Thousands on thousands of
refugees were fleeing before the
advance of the Chinese Red armies.
They came down the roads and
across the fields in silent masses.
They clung to railroad cars like
insects as the trains rumbled
southwark through frozen, wind
swept valleys.
But they were being halted at
Kumchon, just north of the 38th
Parallel dividing North and South
Korea. None was permitted tc
ride the trains beyond that point
And there they milled about
fearful and bewildered-a restless
throng that knew not which way
to turn.
Most Are From Pyongyang.
No one was quite sure who is

gees at the Parallel. But GIs had
their order that men, women anc
children must be removed from

supplies toward Seoul, South Ko.
rean capital.
Most of the refugees were from
Pyongyang, the Red capital OF
North Korea abandoned to the
Chinese Communists. They had
fled down the frozen roads before
the Chinese entered the city.
Thousands had .clambered on
the railroad trains until the box
cars and f1atcars literally were
covered.
They brought sacks of rice and
bundles of personal belongings
and bed clothes. They huddled
together on top of the boxcars
packed so closely that it seemed
one lurch of the car would send
scores hurting to the ice-covered
earth.

They climbed on bulldozers and
machinery and boxes of equip
