 Merry Go- Round

 This week Congressman Walter E. Brehm of Ohio was found guilty of taking salary kickbacks from his stenographer. This eliminated an expose by Drew Pearson, which began September 26, 1850, when Pearson for the first time revealed the Congressman's kickbacks. Brehm immediately called Pearson liar and threatened to sue. Pear sons reply was to print more facts about Brehm's kickbacks facts that esere substantiated by jury this week.
 This follows another spectacular Pearson expose which led to jail sentence for ex-COngressman Par nell Thomas of New Jersey.
 Incidentally, the only two eases in the entire history of the United States of Congressmen going to jail for salary kickbacks, have re- suited from the bird dog reporting of Drew Pearson. In each case, he was called liar. But proved his case.

Employment on Alaskan Defense Construction
 Tops 5000 in August

ANCHORAGE-Defense con- struction in Alaska reached its seasonal peak this month with over 5000 employees at work on U. s. Army Corps of Engineers contracts here, at Fairbanks, Whittier, Nome and elsewhere.
 Interviewed at his local office today, Colonel L. E. Seeman, Alaska District Engineer, sum- med up the present state of con- struction affairs by saying:
 Although there has been tre- nendous increas this year over the construction program of last year, a great record of prod uction and cooperation is being set.
 There have been some grow ingpains, which are only reason able to expect; for example, we have had to house and feed great many more people. So far during fiscal year 1851, we have awarded IA contracts, which are now underway.
 Many of these projects are concentrated in Anchorage and Fairbanks, and the facilities are taxed to the utmost. Far flung jobs are feeling the pressure which is brought to bear on the servicing facilities. The 51 con- tractors engaged in construction currently are employing 1885 men. There are 1,184 civilians and officers working for the District and Resident Engineers. It is estimated that 1900 engineers were employed on the 65 design contracts, which included archi- tect-engineer firms in the North west and West Coast, as far away as Los Angeles.
 August, Colonel s e m n pointed out, lis normally the heavest construction month for

Furst has had considerable experience in the housing field having been associated with the Alaska Hous- ing Authority and more recently with the Federal Housing Ad- ministration in Juneau.
 Dorothy D. Tyner, the Area Rent Representative in the An chorage Rent Office for the past nine months, has been appointed Area Rent and Litigation Attor- ney for the Territory of Alaska. Miss Tyner served as an Enforce ment Attorney for the Office of Price Administration for several years in the Territory.

Governor Protests ARR 1920 Freight Boost Scheduled for Oct. 5

Governor Ernest Gruening pro- tested the scheduled ARR freight rate boost of ten percent in a wire Saturday to Secretary of Interior Oscar Chapman.
 The increase announced Fri day called for an overall increase to become effective October Is. Higher operating costs including the recent $l,300,000 wage in- creases were given as the reason for the boost. It was also pointed out that the Alaskan rates had remained the same for fl years while railroads in the States have increased their freight rates 65 percent during that period.
 Consensus of opinion among Anchorage merchants seemed to be that the freight rate would raise the cost of living in Alaska still higher. With freight costs already considered as a leading factor retarding the development of the Territory, it was believed that the present increase would hardly help in plans for expan- sion of Alaska.
 A survey of several Anchorage firms indicated that some were determined to answer the ARR freight hike by bypassing the railroad altogether and utilizing truck transport from the port of Valdez. With the completion of the road linking Anchorage to Seward, this threat will become even more feasible.

the Territory. Transportation is most apt to snarl up, and labor management problems develop acute stages. It has been impos- sible to predict exact employment and housing needs, even if there were time to construct workers accommodations for the highest peak employment, which lasts but three to four weeks, it would be poor economy to do so. Con- sequently, tented facilities are used for the peak period, and some crowding is experienced, but the slacking-off period is sure to follow soon, and space will be ample.
 The impact of the biggest pro- gram ever can be grasped most readily by the housing situation. With all transient space in An chorage and Fairbanks filled, the construction camps at the mili- tary bases are well filled. At An chorage, we are now housing and feeding about 2,0O0; at Fairbanks and Eielson Air Force Bases, about 1900. There is certainly congestion, but there is also fine cooperation. Transportation agen- cies, contractors, and labor are all doing a Herculean job, and all deserve a pat on the back"

COMPETITIVE EXAMS FOR CIVIL SERVICE
 URGED FOR ALASKA

Delegate Bartlett has renewed his request that Civil Service competitive examinations be giv- en in Alaska for federal employ ment.
 For many years the Commis- sion has applied to the Territory formula known as Schedule A, list of positions excepted from competitive examination. The ap- plication of the formula has de- prived federal employees from being eligible to transfer to a reg ular civil service position in any of the States or the District of Columbia.
