Cost of Eklutna Project Boosted Sl3 Million

WASHINGTON, (P)-Increased construction costs and change in design have boosted the estimated cost of the Eklutna power project in Alaska by more than 13 million dollars.
 But Bureau of Reclamation off, ficials say the project remains financially sound"
 Kenneth w. Markwell, assistant reclamation commissioner, said estimated project costs have in- creased from S2O,800,000 to $33,- 100000.
 Although he attributed most of this increase to the tremendous impact of the rapidly expanding defense activities on construction costs" he said some of it is due to design changes.
 This change, Markwell said, will produce an additional 42 million kilowatt-hours of energy each year, increasing net revenues by $400,O00 yearly or 20 million dollars over the 5O-year life of the project.
 An award of generator con- tracts to the Pacific Oerlikon Co.,, of Tacoma, Wash, which will have the generators manufactured in Switzerland, was discussed. Markwell said protests had been received against the work going to a foreign country but he con- tended it would result in savings of from $117,00O to $245,00O.

Administration Plans Assume Korea Fighting Will End By June, 1852

WASHINGTON, (P)-The ad- ministratim, in planning its spending, is assuming the fighting in Korea will end by June "of this year and that this country will not be involved in war for at least year afterward."
 Senator Taft brought this out in questioning Budget Director Frederick J. Lawton at a closed hearing of the Senate-House Ec- onomic Committee Jan. 23. The testimony was made public Tues day. Lawton said spending esti- mates for fiscal 1853 - which starts next July 1--were based on peacetime attrition rates for forces in Korea.
 'fFor the purpose" Taft asked, "You are assuming the Korean war will be over for fiscal 1852"
 "Yes, in effect" Lawton replied.
 And that there won't be any other (war)?"
 "That is correct"

Alaska Property Tax Dragged Into Courts Again

JUNEAU, (P - Alaska's Pro- perty Tax, held valid in an opin- ion filed by Federal Judge George Folta last week, is in the courts again.
 Luther Hess of Fairbanks, plain tiff in the original action, and the Alaska-Juneau Gold Mining Co.,, intervenor, filed motions Monday for a rehearing or a new trial.
 Hess and the company contend ed in exceptions to Judge Folta's opinion that their position as to lack of uniformity of the one per cent real and personal property tax levied by the 1949 legisla- ture had been "misconstrued," " and that the court "misconstruc- ted" language of the act in refer ence to tax on mining claims.
 In Mondays action, Hess and the mining company further ar gued the court did not discuss the validity of the disputed section of the act; that there was a mis- understanding about the position of plaintiff and intervenor con- corning taxation of vessels, and that the opinion was not in ac- cordance with facts presented in evidence and with law.

 WASHINGTON, (P)-The fate of the Alaska statehood bill hung today on results of an afternoon Senate vote on a motion to send it back to committee.
 Both sides predicted the de- cision would be voted with the issue to be decided "as much by those who are absent as those who are here"
 Senator StenniS O-Miss), lead CT of those opposing Alaska's ad- mission into the union, was con- fident the recommittal motion would be approved.
 Statehood supporters, however, would not concede defeat.
 Senator O'Mahoney O-Wyo) asserted that statehood was above partisan politics" and de- clared that because of the increas- ing large number of independent voters it would be impossible for anyone to predict to what political party a senator from Alaska or Hawaii would belong.
 Senator StenniS, O-Miss) leader of the opposition, challenged statehood advocates that passage of the bill would lead to a lessen ing of bureaucratic control over AlaSka's resources.
 He argued that the present statehood bill would "intensify, magnify and multiply bureau cracy."

StatehOOdBilI Sent
 Back to Committee

WASHINGTON, (P)-By one vote margin the Senate today sent the Alaska statehood bill back to committee for further study, vir- tually ending any possibility that the territory will be given state hood by this session of Congress. The vote was 45 to A.
 In returning the Alaska bill to committee, the Senate instructed the Interior and Insular Affairs Committee to study the possibility of a constitutional amendment to give commonwealth status to Alaska and Hawaii.
 Chairman O'Mahoney O-WyO has said he would seek considera- ton of the Hawaii statehood bill regardless of action taken on the Alaska bill. But he argued during debate that the motion sending the Alaska bill back to commit tee would have the effect of blocking both measures.

Volume of New
Tenants Keeps
Rent Losses Low
BY Robert ]. Lewis
lRsal Estats Edisos Of The StoP

It looks as If q lot Of people
have been unnecessarily worried
over the fate Of all those apart
ments built in Washington dur
ing the last 10 years.
Even during the war you could
talk to>any one from taxi drivers
to economists, from bricklayers
to beauticians, and hear that old
refrain:
What in the world are they
going to do with all these apart
ments they're building around
town. They need therp now, but
what about 1ater?"
The dire predictions were
many. "JuSt wait until the war
is over; half Of them will go
broke" was q typical example.
After the war, they said:
"People'l never be able to pay
those rents, you'll just see."
Or: They're building too
many eff1ciencieS. Who's going
to rent them?"
Well, all that gloom and all
those filters weren't justified at
all. it seems, at least up to the
present day.
For the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration is now making final
tabulations on an occupancy
survey that show apartment
vacancies are at a record low
point.
The full results aren't quite
ready yet. But a preliminary
look indicates a vacancy rate Of
less than l per cent. Such a
rate is just about at the statis-
tical rock bottom. and is far
lower than even the most op-
timistic developer would con-
slider normal.
FILA itself considered that a
vacancy rate of up to z per cent
might be expected, and allowed
developers a generous profit on
such a basis. With the average
vacancy rate far below the z
per cent, the allowable return
is just that much greater for the
builder.
Under the circumstances,
everybody should be very happy:
FILA because its estimate of
needs have been borne out: the
builder because he Is enabled
right now to receive q larger
return than FILA figured he
normally should expect; the
tenant. because he has a clean,
sanitary. and often attractive
place to live.
OF course, there's, no guar
antee that q shortage of apart
