Materials Cutback
Expected 10 Result in
More Unemployment
By Robert ]. Lewis
ssar StoH Correspondent

CHICAGO, Jan. "a. A sharp
rise In unemployment is expected
among home building workers
this year as q result Of the 40
per cent cutback in scarce build
ing materials, but Government
officials are confident they can be
absorbed into other construction
or defense work without undue
hardship.
That was made clear yesterday
by Manly Fleischmann, Defense
Production Administrator. who
told the Nations home builders In
convention here they were not un-
fairly treated under the housing
program for 1852.
The defense production chief
pledged to builders the Govern
ment would not impose an indi-
vidual permit system for residen-
tial construction.
To Avoid Permits.
"We will avoid any individual
permit system if we get any rea-
Sonable cooperation from build
ers." Mr.. Fleischmann said.
This was interpreted as a warn
ing to builders not to rush con-
struction of a large number of
houses to beat the deadline on
forthcoming new regulations de-
signed to conserve materials.
Builders previously had criticized
the National Production Au-l
thority'S materials allocationS forI
home building as compared to the
automobile industry and other in
dustries.
Charges that the automobile
industry has been favored are
completely untrue" Mr.. Fleisch-
mann said.
I'm actuality the automobilet
industry has been cut about SOL
per cent below the peak 195OI
level In the materials it can use
in the second quarter, while the
home building industry has been,
cut a like amount below the same
period" he said.
Silent on House Size.
Later. Mr.. Fleischmann refused
to comment to newsmen on the I
report the Government was pre-
pairing to limit the maximum size
of houses which can be built this
year. . L
A tentative draft of the new
rules will be sent out at the end
of this week, it is understood, to
members of the Home Building
Industry Advisory Committee and
a meeting of that committee will
be held February II to discuss theIl
first draft.
At other sessions delegates to
the National Association of Home
Builders convention discussed ma
terials supply and military hous-
ing.
About rs Washington area dele
gates are attending the sessions.
One speaker told a convention |.
session that a survey of 10000
families showed 62 per cent dis
liked homes they bought since the
war so much that they hoped to-
sell them.
Unpopular With Majority.
That statement was made by
the building editor OF q home /
makers magazine, Miss Edith
Evans. who added that basement
less houses are not what a major
1ty Of prospective buyers want.
Builders were told earlier in the
week by industry spokesmen they
should build more basementless
houses to conserve materials and
rs means of keeping costs down.

Wu+er Bond Issue
 Carried By 32 votes

In special election held last Tuesday, the revenue bond issue in the amount of $40O,0O0 was passed by the small majority of 136 for, to 104 against.
 The registration book carried a total of 329 pSrsons registered of whom 240 actually voted on this important issue. Felix J. Toner, Juneau engineer, who has been working for the city for the past several months on survey of water facilities here, report d that the system can be complete ly rehabilitated for an amount in the neighborhCod of S324 ,OOO, but that steadily increasing con struction costs might raise that cost since the dat of the report. Eighty thousand dollars of the bond is carmarked as coVerage of the original purchase price as contracted by the city and Sew ard Water Supply, and by special election in 1851. Tn agreement at that time was for the monthly payment of S75O without in terest.

Scas7Gwks Hold
 RuiibeIf Ecnors

Although Stewards SeahaWks lost out in ths, race for Western Alaska basketball championship, the boys still hold the Railbelt title, for the second time in three years, having won it in 1850.
 There are two separate titles in interscholastic basketball, All Alaska and Railbelt. The travel ing trophy for the Railbelt til holder was dropped in favor of the Western Alaska trophy, but the Athletic Association is con sldering restoring this trophy, thus giving smaller schools q better chance at championship hOnOrS.
 A double tam was elected as All-Stars, according to seasonal play and by points. Pedro Den ton and Donnie Sanders of Sew ard made the team. Three from Fairbanks, two each from An chorage and Palmer, and one Nome player hold the new hon Orary titles.
 Because of his illness, which kept him off the court at both games for the SeahaWks, Ronnie Lewis was not eligible for All Star. His ability was recognized, however, by the committee, and Lewis was given special cer- tificate of award as on~ of the highest scorers in the league.
 Home town fans who listened to the broadcast of the Seward games at the tournament, all sing praises of the spunky and spark ling fight put up by the Sea hawks against great odds in both trials. Seward is very proud of it's champions.

Freight Rate Increase Allowed Carriers In AIQsko Trcde

After hearings at Juneau the Federal Maritime Commission yesterday granted 15 percent freight rate increase to Alaska. Inquiries to OPS earlier in the week brought the following news release:
 Replying to statements by D. E. Skinner, president and gen eral manager of the Alaska Steamship Company at a meet ing in Juneau February 24, Fred c. Hanford, territorial dire ctor of the Office of Price StabiliZa- tion, emphasized his earlier charge that increased freight rates would increase the cost of living in Alaska.
 MT. Skinner attempted to minimize the effect of freight rate increase" Hanford said. He drew attention to the fact that the term freight rates in cluded terminal costs as well as water transportation charges.
 MT. Skinner's argument does not altzr the facts at all. The facts are that if any portion of freight, or any other charges, go up by 20 per cent the increase will be pyramided into more than 20 per cent by the time 1t reaches the consumer, because the merchants total landed cost of his goods is the sum of his in voice costs plus any and all other charges incurred in getting the merchandise here. Under most current regulations the OPS. cannot require the merchant to absorb the increase CT narrow his normal percentage of mark up
 Hanford said the OPS. can not judge the merits or necessity of the proposed rates increase since steamship freight rates are exempt from OPS. regulations.
 We are, however, concerned about the cost of living in Alaska and the fact remains that any freight rate increase will defi nitely incrl ase the cost of living in Alaska" he added.
 Referring to Skinner's com plaint that the OPS. had al lowed other large businesses to increase prices, Hanford said:
 Congress never intended the OPS to rigidly freeze all pricsS permanently at any given level Regulations are written to pro vide flexibility of price move ments-upWard when necessary and downward when circum- stances warrant a decrease.
 No increase is ever granted under our regulations until thorough study is made of all factors involved.
 We have no authority to make adjustments in rates of public utilities, such as the Alas ka Steamship Company, since this authority is vested solely in the Maritime Commission. The proposed increase is, in effect, an eX parte action since the com pany simply announces the in creases and, unless the Maritime Commission forbids it, it be- comes effectiVe.'

Care of Self
D. M. Grefzer

Care of Self
 Care of self" includes con duct which will permit others to assist. when the occasion arises. Several common sense rules will aid in this direction.
 1. Report position by radio at least each half hour on all trips.
 ,. Stay on the course given in the flight plan. A pilot should not wander around ito take a look" or to take a picture. The first s arch will be "on course.
 8. If the pilot is off course be cause of following wrong river or valley. he should rctrace his flown course to a known posi- ton on the on-curSe track. It Is poor practice to set up revised course from an estimated posi- tion. If the original planned course could not Uc followed, il is optimistic beyond reason to believe that a revised course from an estimated position will be successful.
 There may not be enough gas 10 reach a known position on the original course and still get to the destination. In that case, the pilot should head for the near r l course, or return b his point ot departure. He should keep "Ra- dio" advis- d at all times. It may be embarrassing to explain to Radio whats going on, but that is less embarrassing and less costly to others than having to be searched for, far off course.
 4. Use the routes the bush pl- lots use, even if weather permits a high altitude short cut.
 5. If precautionary or forced landing occurs, the pilot should stay with the airplane.
 If a landing is made in an area where strong winds blow, regardless of tn temperature of the moment, or clothing avail able, it is necessary to dig in to obtain shelter and protection from the wind. This must be done before becoming exhausted or too cold. Clothing adequate for fifty below in still air will not be adequate in thirty mila wind at zero degrees.
 In northern coastal areas, where there are no trees or bushes, a shelter must be made from snow blocks. If there is in sufficient snow, it may b pos sible to improvise shelter in or around the airplane with engine or wing covers to help seal the cabin against wind and drifting snow. In the presence of the blowing snow, the pilot should not lose sight of his camp, as he may never find it again.
