Mayor Appoints City Planning Commission
Council Plans Early Meeting With Seven Commission Members

Local interest in city planning for Palmer, spearheaded by ac- tion of the local Kiwanis Club and Chamber of Commerce, cul- minated last night in the appoint ment by Mayor Carl Meier of City Planning Commission.
 The Seven-member commission, which serves without pay, was appointed for one, two, and three year terms in order Q stagger future three-year az. .oointments and allow for unbroken continu- ity in planning. Three-year ap- pointments went to Dr. C. C. Bai- ley, Charles w. Wilson, and Bet ty Mears. TWo-year appointments were given Oliver Onkka, and Ed Smith. Lew Hanks and Richard Demming drew the one-year terms.
 Hope was expressed by the ma yor that Demming would not be disqualified from serving because of his residence just outside of the city limits. With his back ground of experience with city plats, the local surveyor could render invaluable assistance to the city, Meier said. Actually the council has the power to set up Ia commission numbering any where from three to nine mem bers. Professional assistance may also be retained by the commis- sion. (See page 6 of this weeks Frontiersman for the paragraph from the Alaska Compiled Laws of 1949 concerning city planning commissions.)
 Council members okayed the mayors appointments and decid- ed to set aside special meeting devoted solely to orientation of the new commission appointees.
 Street Problem Brightens
 Council members congratulat- ed themselves on acquiring the services of two well qualified en- gineers-Demming and Wilson on the planning commission. Both of them had offered to help in 4s- tablishing the street grade lines.
 Street equipment needed to re- construct city streets and main tain them was also assured at the

EARLY MORNING FIRE DESTROYS HOME OF ED CASEY FAMILY

Tragedy dreaded by every AL askan householder struck early Monday morning at the home of MT. and Mrs. Ed Casey about three miles south of town when the entire dwelling and all it's contents were destroyed by fire.
 The Caseys and their young son David were not at home when the fire broke out. Visiting with friends in Potter Sunday, they were forced to delay their home ward trip when car trouble de- veloped. A neighbor, Alex Carl son. Jr., had volunteered to look after the oil space heater located in the living room to make cer- tain that it did not go out. He had tended the stove at 10 pm. and again shortly after midnight, leaving the yard light on the last time in anticipation of the Caseys' arrival. Ben Cabo, who went by the house at three am. noticed the light, but saw no signs of smoke coming from the house.
 The blaze was discovered first by Robert Webb who noticed it from his barn. By the time he and other mortified neighbors had arrived at the site, it was too late; the entire structure was aflame.
 Loss Partly Covered
 The house and most of the fur nishings were owned by Maud Hosler, manager of the Trading Post. The house had been her home until a year or so ago when she built her greenhouses and cabin on the Anchorage-Palmer Highway. Mrs. Hosler's loss was only partly covered by insurance. The insurance injuster had not yet investigated the fire yester- day. The greenhouse located some distance from the house was not touched by the blaze.
 The Caseys had no insurance on the many personal items which they prized. An entire set of sterling silver was found a molten mass in the charred rub ble that had fallen through to the basement.
 Notified of the tragedy before

sound loans by Government agen-
|cies to the private economy.
Mr.. EccleS conceded that some
Government lending may be NEG
|essary, particularly in letting de-
fense contracts to firms or indi-
|viduais who cannot obtain loans
from private financial institu-
tionS.
I'm such cases. he suggested,
help should be provided in the
form of a Government guarantee
of private credit and not by di-
rect Government loan. Such guar
Iantees would be most effectively
handled under a single program
using the Federal Reserve banks
as fiscal agencies in arranging the
guarantees"
He explained that a defense
contractor who is unable to obtain
the necessary credit would thus be
able to apply to his local bank for
IA Government-guaranteed loan.
Invites Political Pressure.
Another reason why RFC should
be abolished, Mr.. Eccles said, was
that the very nature of the agency
invites outside influences and po-
litical pressure.
so long as there is Govern
ment lending agency IKE the
RFC." he contended. there will
be great and undeniable demand
for unsound and unjustified credit.
This will put all members OF Con-
gress under more or less political
pressure to assist applicants in re-
ceiving such credit"
Meanwhile, a minor mystery
that developed around the ap-
pointment of a deputy RFC ad-
ministrator was exploded by Wal
ter E. Cosgriff, one of the five
present RFC directors who would
be replaced by Mr.. Symington.
II have not been offered and
would not accept any such job" he
stated, in a message relayed from
Salt Lake City, Utah, to his office.
After next Monday will revert
to private life and have nothing
more to do with Washington poll
ticians."
That statement came when his
attention was called to a dinner
program that listed a William
ICosgriff" as the new deputy ad-
ministrator of the RFC." The
dinner was held last Wednesday
in New York City by the Small
Manufacturers Emergency Com
Imittee, an organization recently
formed to work for continuance
of RFC.
Mr.. Cosgriff's Office said he had
been invited to speak at the meet
ing but cancelled the speech be-
cause he had to go to his home in
Utah. Mr.. Cosgriff, Republican,
is a banker and has served as an
RFC director since last October.
He was not among the directors
|criticized in the Fulbright sub
committee report on influence and
favoritisrn in RFC.
Appointment of a deputy ad-
|ministrator must be made by the
President and is subject to Senate
confirmation, as is that of director

By the Assoeia,.d Press


CHICAGO, April 27.-John Alden
Carpenter, rs, American composer
and businessman, died at his home
yesterday.
He had been in failing health
flor many months. His condition
prevented his taking an active
part in observances of his 18th

A baby buggy. comic strip, and
an Office building have meant
music to Mr.. Carpenter. AS a re-
suit of his novel subjects and use
of jazz themes, Mr.. Carpenter has
been called the first American i'm
Ipressionist.
Mr.. Carpenter was born in Park

I28, 1876. Throughout his college
days at Harvard he studied music
lanG later took special lessons in
composition. Mr.. Carpenter be-
came a business executive in the
