LCnnllnued from pago J


 Mile g on the Glenn Highway. Utilities for these buildings are already in. Schedule 2 provided for the construction of 10 resi- denees and the utilities for 10 houses to be located in Palmer.
 The Hufieson CO. bid on schcd- ule was S227. .523: on schedule 2, sl2i354.25. A stipulation provid- ed for a total price of S343.000 fl the entire contract for B houses was awarded to the bidder by July 5.
 The engineers estimate was S2l9,384 for schedule l and Sll7.- l5l for schedule 2, for total of S336.535.
 Other bidders were: The Davis Construction Co. with bids of S248,63440 on schedule l and Sl33, ,24320 on schedule ?, and the Denali Construction Co. of An chorage with a $268,356 bid on schedule l and $153,4l8 on sched- ule 2.
 A fourth bid arrived 10 minutes after the time scheduled for the opening of the bids. It was claim ed that the delay was caused by the Washout of the temporary bridge over the Eklutna River. The bid was not opened but was to be be sent with the other bids to the Denver district headquar- ters of the Bureau of Reclama- ton together with dispositions certifying the circumstances of the delay.
 After the District Engineer ex- amines the bids, they will be sent to the Commissioner of Reclama- ton in Washington for approval and awarding of the contract.
 Claims Bids Too High
 Byron K. Felkner, construction engineer in charge of the Eklutna Project, expressed disappoint- ment in the contractors bids when he returned to his desk Wednesday after trip to Den yer. He pointed out that the low bid represents construction cost of $20 per square foot AHA hous- es now nearing completion in Palmer are being constructed by the James Construction Go. at a cost of $l5 per square foot, he said. The engineers estimate was only $6,465 less than the stipu- lated price for the entire contract in the apparent low bid. Felkner claimed, however, that the gov ernment estimate had been hiked considerably because of previous high bids received by the Eklut- ma Project.
 Construction of the houses should get under way as soon as the contract is awarded, Felkner said. Plans call for two bedroom houses, 20x26 feet, single story and no basements. The houses will be completely insulated and will be heated with oil.

 Mrs. Margaret Thomas of San Francisco wrote: All the boys at the Farmers Market here were intrigued with your project. In fact, they insisted on keeping your Rules and Regulations and the article from your local paper. The president of the association, the lesser officers - even the policeman-all joined in the talk about your market. They thought your rules and regulations were very fine and that whoever drew them up knew their business"
 Opening Day Plans
 Meanwhile the rules and regu- lations were given a fresh airing at the market-site meeting of the Farmers Market Assn. meeting Tuesday evening.
 It was agreed that there should be a minimum price below which members would not sell-even to get rid of the stuff and go home. Prices will vary from week to week and from seller to seller, depending on the grade. There will be many vegetable items sold which are not strictly first grade, such as lettuce which is slightly tip-burned. Such grades will be sold at reduced prices.
 Sellers may not sell for neigh bors unless they are association members. The Association needs those $2 membership dues. After paying for the markets business license this week, it has only dollar in it's bank account.
 Al Kirsch was elected to the Associations board of directors which also includes Howard Es telle, president; Max Sherrod, vice. president; Mrs. Mary Wash burn, secretary-treasurer; and Robert Buzby.
 Early Saturday morning Mrs. Arlene Day, Mrs. Mary Lou Johns and Mrs. Margaret Blom will be stringing up the decorations which will make the opening day of Alaska's first Farmers Market a truly gala event.

u. S.-British Plan
In kashnnir Dispute
BY the A.soelatsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Mar. a.
India yesterday turned down a
British-United States plan for
settling the India a-Pakistan dispute
over possession OF Kashmir.
Sir Bengal N. Rau. India's dele
gate, said India thinks the prob.
lem ought to be given back to India
and Pakistan for agreement on the
best solution.
He opposed British United
States resolution which would go
SO far as to call for United
Nations force to control the area
during a vote of the people or to
partition the. old principality be-
tween India and Pakistan.
Rau said the differences wess
not a question of Hindu -Moslem
religious clashes, although he
charged that Moslem Pakistan has
been urging holy war to get con-
troll of KaShmir.
The area is an ancient prin-
cipality. India moved troops into
Kashmir in late October 1947,
after charging that Pakistan
troops had invaded the territory.
Neither has been willing since
to yield to U. N. mediation efforts,
or to satisfy all conditions to
allow the inhabitants to hold an
impartial vote on which country
they wish to join.
Rau told the council that India

U. 5. Offers Apology
To Belgrade on Plane
BY the Associated Press

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, March
2-The United States has apol-
ogized to Yugoslavia for violation
of its air space by an American
military plane, the Yugoslav gov
ernment said last night.
The plane. two-engined Bog
fighter bomber, was blown off
course by strong winds February
10 on a training flight from the
United States Air Force base at
Neubiberg, Germany, to Udine,
Italy. It's crew flew low through
a heavy overcast in an attempt
to spot landmarks for bearings.
The plane returned to Germany
without landing.
Yugoslavs, however, had sighted
the plane and noted its American
markings. They notified the
United States Embassy, which
checked and then rendered an
apology.
This was the peaceful conclu-
sion of an incident the like of
which in 1916 caused shooting. 1t
was then that Yugoslavs shot
down an American plane which
blundered across a corner of
Yugoslavia.
But that was long ago in Yugo-
slavia's relations with the West.
Then Premier Marshal Tito's
Communist nation was in Mos
cows camp. 1t has since broken
with Prime Minister Stain and is
being kept af1oat economically by

By Francis P. Douglas

A $40 billion tax increase, in.
cluding a Federal sales tax of

recommended today by the Com.
mittee for Economic Development
The organizations tax program
includes an additional 5 per cent
tax on individual incomes or
top of the present tax and after
present exemptions. 1t estimates
this would yield $685. billion.
The CED. supported by con-
tributions from business concerns
has for its purpose the develop
ment OF economic policies that
would encourage the attainment
and maintenance of high produc-
ton and employment within the
framework of free society,""
Other Steps Suggested.
Other steps recommended for a
pay-as-you-go defense program
were these:
l. Government economy to re-
duce Federal cash expenditures by
$6 billion from the proposed S74
billion for fiscal 1852.
2. Tight restrictions on the eX-
pansion of bank credit.
8. A national program to en-
courage private savings.
The CED said this program
would greatly strengthen the de-
fense against imitation "at the
points where the defense has been
weakest-namely control of the
expansion of credit and the pro-
motion of savings"
It would also, yield a cash sur
plus of from So billion to So bill
