No U. 5. Entry
 For Franto's $
 FaIangisfs

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19--tR-The Justice Department has ordered members of the Falange party of Franco Spain barred from entering the United. States. It ruled them out as members of a "totalitarian" group.
 The Department acted under the new internal security law which makes members of the Communist or other totalitarian parties ineli- gible for admission.
 However, the State Department has not gone so far in applying the law. In instructions it sent out Tuesday night, Consuls abroad were told merely to suspend any decision to grant or refuse visas Gentry per- mits) sought by Falange members pending further instructions"
 The Justice Department action and it's apparent split with the State Department in interpreting the new legislation, was announced by Michael J. McDermott, State Department press officer. He said the entire subject of applying the law is still under study.
 The internal security law, enacted last month over President Truman's veto, makes ineligible for admission not only members of the Communist party and any other totalitarian party, but also members of sub sidiary and affiliated organizations.

Tony 5thwamm Here To Look Info Juneau
 Airport Situation

A review of plans for the 1851 construction season on Territorial aviation projects in Alaska was given here today by Tony Schwanm. Aero nautics Director of the Alaska Aero nauticS and Communications Com mission. He just returned from a meeting of state aviation officials in Minneapolis and will be in Ju- neau for few days looking into the Juneau airport situation before going to Anchorage.
 We have completed surveys ano drawn up master plans for seven projects in the Interior which have now been approved by the Civii Aeronautics Administration" he said. These include Eagle, Ruby Kaltag, White Mountain, Quartz and Taylor Creeks in the Kougarok, and a new field at Bethel on the city side of the Kuskokwim.
 Eight seapIane facilities will be 'constructed in Southeast Alaska ii- 1951," he continued.
 Plans have been approved for seaplane floats at Craig and Hyda- burg. Plans have been sent to Wrangell for approval there. h. spection has been made of com pleted seaplane facilities at Porl Althorp, Sitka, Baranof at Warn Springs, Tamgass Harbor and Hooo Bay. The seaplane float at Ketchi- kan is completed but change oi location may be made to south oi the Thomas Basin breakwater whict offers greater protection in stormy weather.
 Fort Yukon air strip, and bot the landstrip and seaplane base al Seldovia have now been accepted by the CAA. We are still working ol the strip at Kotzebue which will bt usable this winter The Dillingham; airport should be completed Within ten days. A survey is being maot for a new airport at Seward.
 We are now working on the eX- tending and widening of the HalneS landing strip" Schwamm stated.
 Yesterday Schwamm made final inspection of the Skagway airpor which has been completed by tht Munter Construction Go. of Seattle
 In reporting on the Minneapoil- meeting Schwamm said the officials skipped their usual hangar flying to work out some of the problems facing aviation in the states. They were anxious to keep civil aviation operating in case of a natlonal emergency and recommended screening of pilots before an emer- gency arose. Most of those in aC- tendance felt that small fields fol the private pilot had been over looked too much. Safety factors anc streamlining of enforcement were considered, and a simplification oi the federal aid act for airfield con struction.
 Alaska will come under the ac until 1852 whereby the federal gov ernment matches 75 percent of tht funds to the Territorys 25 percent After that the proportion will grad ually be capitalized.

AIRPORT PROGRAM HERE AND PALMER
 TOLD BY SCHWAMM

Irony" Schwamm, director of the Alaska Aeronautics Commission, in Juneau today said that the much discussed Palmer airport is now complete. in operation and awaiting final inspection by CAA authorities.
 There has been much unfavorable publicity surrounding the land ac- quisition for the Palmer field and Schwamm said that Federal Aid matching funds are still being with held pending further investiga- tion"
 Schwamm said he hopes that the Territory will be able to collect these participating funds at an early date, as it has been necessary to dip deep into Territorial funds slated for next years program to pay contrac- tors for work already completed When asked about Juneau's air. port extension, Schwamm described the delay as "a gross misunder- standing" Schwamm said that he had made application for Juneau's airport program about four months ago and had written Juneau city officials to that effect. At about the same time, Mayor Waino Hen drickson received a letter from Washington inviting the city of Juneau to apply for the airport ex- tension, but stipulating that the city undertake to defray maintenance expense of the extended portion of the airfield.
 Application having been made, nothing was done at this end-and Schwamm received no word from Washington. It was not until yester- day that Schwamm learned of the sequence of errors.
 The original application did not include the provision requiring the city to pay maintenance costs, said 'Schwamm, but an amended applica- ton will be forwarded at once in an effort to expedite the Juneau pro gram.
 Schwamm declined to comment on the possibility that an additional stumbling block had been placed in the path of the Juneau project as he had suggested in letter to this paper dated August 21, 1850.
 From the letter, we quote the fol- lowing excerpts:
 There has been no indication at this time that participating funds for other projects will be withheld However, I do feel that if there is any more adverse or unfavorabie publicity given the airport program it is quite possible that all partici- pating funds may be withheld until each project is investigated in de- tail.
 Tn regard to the construction of the Juneau airport I have every reason to believe that due to the unfavorable publicity given the air port program it is very possible that the extension of the Juneau airport will not be authorized this year a. the CAA is going to carefully scrut- inize this project due to the pro posed Senate investigation.

GET READY NOW FOR STATEHOOD DECLARES DELICATE BARTLETT

It was Delegate E. L. (Bob) Bart let's prediction that Alaska would get statehood within the next 14 months at the latest, when he spoke before regular meeting of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce this noon.
 Declared Bartlett, "If the bill is brought up it will be passed. The votes are there. Statehood is now considered a matter of national concern and is out of our hands We should start preparing for it now to work out the best form of state government, elect the best delegates to a convention to write a state constitution that will be the envy of all the states. State hood has fifty-fifty chance if it is brought up at the session of Con- gress converting November 27 and it will be considered unless there are more urgent matters"
 Housing Amazing
 The Delegate said that S261 100000 had been appropriated for various Alaska projects this year and that he was amazed at the progress made in the field of housing, especially in the skyscraper type. Clinton c. Staples, head of the Federal Hous- ing Authority for Alaska, has as- sured me that next endeavor will be in the family type dwellings, which are also needed"
 Making reference to the Senate subcommittee due in Juneau to- night, Bartlett said, "We can eX- pect results from this group of men They are all interested in Alaska and they are ali capable Senators. '
 The tax incentive proposed legls- lation to attract new industry to the Territory came up for discussion for the second time following suggested changes in the proposed bill. The matter was finally tabled for further 
 study. Mimeographed copies will be sent to Chamber members for de- tailed study and constructive sug- gestions.
 Bartlett informed the group that there were able attorneys who dis agreed on the constitutionality o1 the proposed bill. Tn view of the federal demand for more taxes from us all, this bill is not likely to re- ceive favorable consideration i'll Congress. I believe there are factors other than taxes discouraging ven- ture capital for new industry Ill Alaska" he said.
 Guests included 12 superinten- dents of schools from all over the Territory who were guests of pr James Ryan, Commissioner of Edu- cation; Dr. Dick Hall of Decatur Ga; Jimmie Bolton, Juneau Bap- list minister; It.

 Merry Go Round
,conyrieht, 1850. by Bell Syndicate, Inc.
 By DREW PEARSON

SAN FRANCISCO-Out of the turbulent. hard-slugging Gubernat- orial race in California may wei rome a future President of the Uni ted States.
 The race between colorful, auda- cious Jimmy Roosevelt who, with his fathers voice and charm, has beer covering California like a patch work quilt until there is almost nc town which has not seen or hearc him. and on the other side, Re- nublican Gov. Earl Warren, one of the most level-headed executives in the U.S.A.
 The race is important not mercy because of the personalities lnvolV- ed but because of the growing lm- portance of California in the na- tion. There was a day when Vlrgln- ia. because of it's size, was the mother state of Presidents. Later Ohio. with it's heavy population toasted that it was the well-spring of Presidents, while New York mas also supplied heavy quota.
 The weight of population is lm- portant because of the number ol delegates a state can control in tpe nominating conventions. And thls wear. California comes forward with the second largest population in the U.S.A.
 Also important is the fact that if a miracle should happen and Jimmy Roosevelt should be able to defeat a Republican of Cover nor Warrens prestige and stand ing. he would be definite Presiden- tial timber four years later.
 On the other hand, if Warren de- feats Jimmy Roosevelt, as now

BUILDING BAN NOW
 PROPOSED
Stiff Blow Aimed at Con. stru(tion-Credit Ex-
 pdnsion Slapped

WASHINGTON, Oct 19 = R - Despite forceful objections from the building industry, the government today considered an emergency ban on the construction of race tracks, dance halls, bowling alleys and other amusement spots.
 New moving picture theaters and night clubs might also be included, but officials of the National Pro- duction Authority (NPA) said the scope of the proposed crder remains to be worked out. Its aim is to save materials for munitions.
 The move would be a stiff blow to the already tottering building boom. Severe limitations on private real estate credit and federal home financing were imposed Thursday, and a limitation on commercial construction credit-affecting stores and office buildings-is expected to follow.
 Credit Expansion
 Still another slap at credit ex- pansion, in the form of Federal Reserve Board order tightening bank reserve requirements, became more likely. The Board yesterday reported that bank loans to busi- ness houses hit another record high last week.
 An order requiring banks to set aside more funds in reserve would limit the bank funds available for lending. Business loans last week, the Board said, increased by S227,- OoO, 900 to a total of $i6, 6,l42 ,O0O,00O
 The proposed building ban was unfolded to score of leaders in the building, real estate, materials, and related industries. They fought the idea vigorously.

Funds were raised through collec-

The result is a small but up
