Military Housing In Alaska Is "IntOlerable"

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (F0 - Members of a three-man housing commission of the defense depart ment described military housing conditions in the Anchorage area today as "intolerable".
 They spent yesterday on the task of gathering evidence for use in drawing up program to ease Alaska's most pressing postwar problem-military housing.
 The commissioners stated in an interview, that they are making Alaska their first overseas stop because defense secretary Louis Johnson labeled it "a critical area"
 The commission members are chairman Bertram E. Giesecke of Austin, Texas, an architect; Frank E. Mckinney, Indianapolis bank CT; Clarence H. Low, New York real estate man.
 Giesecke told reporters Alaska is being inspected at this time be- cause the commission hoped to m k e recommendations early enough to get prompt congression- al action.
 The commissioners inspected quarters used by the military both on and off the military post.
 Weather permitting, they were to fly to Kodiak today and to Ladd field at Fairbanks Sunday. They plan to return here Monday and fly to McCord air force base Wash, Tuesday.
 The chairman reported that on the basis of conditions already ob- served he felt living conditions for many of the military person nel here was severe" with many rents exorbitant.
 "It will be a long time before any big military base can provide full housing for all its personnel" !" he declared. ''I think some mill tary families should live in adia- cent civilian communities if peo- pie can catch up with their own needs. No military establishment can live alone"
 He described the Alaska si.ua tion, complicated by the weather, as being closely interrelated with transportation, utilities and build ing material problems.
 (Ed. Note-Mr. Giesecke was in vited by the Chamber of Com merce to visit the Nome area and he declined due to limited time).
