Suit Asking Custer of Auditor Moore Runs Into Legal Technicalities

ANCHORAGE, R-A challenge of Neil Moore's right to hold the office of Territorial Auditor be- came. involved in new legal tech nicalities in US. District Court here Thursday.
 Judge George w. Folta instruct ed attorneys to file briefs within week on two legal points that were raised.
 The suit was brought by Horace Pugh. He asked Moore's custer on the contention that the elective office of auditor does not exist any longer m even though Moore was elected to it in the 1852 gen eral election.
 Pugh's case is based on the Government Reorganization Act passed in the closing days of the 1851 Alaska Legislature. It pro- vided for abolishing the elective office of Auditor and making the office an appointive one, with re- duced powers. The Reorganiza- tion Act never was put into oper- ation, however.
 Pugh's attorney, Roger Cremo, challenged at Thursdays hearing the legality of Atty. Gen Gerald Williams defending an individual Williams, as attorney general, is acting as legal counsel for the auditor.
 Then the question arose over whether the action should have been brought against the Terri tory rather than against Moore as an individual.
 It was on these two legal points that Judge Folta ordered the att torneys to submit briefs.

15O,OOO klowatts is needed in Southeast Alaska

1500OO kilowatts is needed in Southeast Alaska.
 The analogy between Alaska and the Northwest states is striking Both have power shortages amid vast hydro potential In Alaska the shortage is acute while 825O,O00 kiloWatts run wasted to the sea-
 Fortunately Congress faces simpler problem in Alaska because the projects will be singlepurpose power developments strictly 1OOfo sef-iquidat- ing basis The absence of flood control navigation and irrigation complications such cost allocatons, reinbursable features and subsidies will avoid some of the sptpersonality conflicts which have bedeviled the federal program in the Northwest states Alaska also has interstate compact problems large pri- vate utility corporations.
 Regardless of whether Congress authorizes a federal territorial agency build these projects federal financing is essential Money for first class mortgages is not available for less than 8 and risk capital demands 15 to 50&o 1t is apparent that private venture capital will not be attracted.
 Furthermore, directly and indirectly, the biggest customer of electricity in Alaska is Uncle Sam. He pays most of the high rates which could be in half by good hydro program.
 Federal financing is the key!

By FRANK w. VAILLE

WASHINGTON, R - T h e Budget Bureau recommended that the Alaska Communications System and the Alaska Railroad be set up as government cor porations to provide them with the operating and financial flex- ibility needed for effective man agen1ent.
 It also urged legislation creat- ing an Alaska airport revolving fund to cover operations of the government-built public airports at Anchorage and Fairbanks.
 One major change recommend ed would require the three oper- ations to submit business type budgets disclosing income and ex- pense, costs, sources and applica- tion of funds, and profits and losses.
 It also would permit use of revenues to carry on operations both of the proposed corporations and of the airports.
 Management has little incen- tive to seek increased revenues when all, or a substantial part, of the money must be paid into mis- cellaneous receipts of the treas ury. Ventures which are unpro- fitable to the government may have to be abandoned in order to conserve appropriated funds" !"

Budget Bureau Recommends ACS And Alaska Railroad Be Set Up And
 Operated as Business Corporations

While the separation of com mercial and military services of the ACS is not practicable at this time, the objective should be to obtain private operation of com mercia1 facilities as rapidly as possible, consistent with the in terest of national defense and the development of Alaska"
 Declaring that ACS has made mo attempt to relate rates to costs," the Budget Bureau recom- mended that commercial services be operated on a self-sustaining basis and that free service to gov ernment agencies be discontinued.
 Among other benefits, the Bu- reau observed that discontinuance of free service to government agencies would discourage the authorization of long distance telephone calls and long tele- grams. It estimated the cost of this free service at $4, ,888, 400 for the year ended last June 30.
 In the case of both the ACS and the railroad, the Bureau as serted that a major problem in the adjustment of rates would be the separation of costs attribut- able to commercial and military operations. The latter, it said, should not be considered in es- tablishing a rate for commercial services.

Two Former Army Men Arrested and Charged
 With Spying For Russia

WASHINGTON, R - Two for mer US. Army men were accused of spying for Russia today in a plot linked to the Soviet Elm bassy here.
 Atty. Gen. McGranery announ- ced that the two were arrested in Vienna, Austria, Wednesday.
 Simultaneously with McGran- ery's announcement, the. State De- partment announced it has de- manded that Russia recall Yuri V. Novikov, second secretary of the Soviet Embassy, because he has "engaged in activities incompat- ible with his status as an accredit- ed diplomatic official"
 McGranery said the former Army men are Otto Verber and Kurt L. Ponger, both of New York City. They are brothers-in- law, and naturalized Americans from Austria.
 McGranery said the indictment names Novikov as co-conSpira- tor, but not as defendant. Novi- kov is alleged to have been the contact for the former Army men.
 Verger' and Ponger,, picked up in the Austrian capital Wednes- day, were rushed aboard an Am erican plane and started across the Atlantic.
 McGranery said the arrests and indictment were the result of a combined lengthy investigation by the FBI and Army intelligence

Runaway Train Crashes Through Capitol Station

WASHINGTON, lF III A run- away passenger train, its horn screeching warning, crashed through a barrier into Union Sta ton Thursday.
 At least 49 emergency patients were rushed to hospitals but al- most miraculously no one was re- ported killed.
 The train, the Pennsylvania's Federal Express from Boston, de- m0lished the stationmaster's of flee and smashed a newsstand in the center of the concourse, an area separating the track from the waiting room.
 The electric locomotive and one car then plunged through the reinforced concrete floor into g baggage room in the basement.
 There was no immediate .ex- planation as to why the brakes apparently failed as the train ap- preached the station through the yards.
 Passengers estimated its speed variously as between 30. and 50 miles an hour.
 Only the long, continuous warn ing blast of the horn and the plunge through the concourse floor averted a heavy human toll.
 Had the floor not given away, the train would have plowed on into the main waiting room.

FEDERAL FINANCING IS THE KEY

Pacific Northwest Public Power Bulletin
 Twenty years ago the federal government took the initiative and what some people regarded as tre mendous risk in building Grand Coulee and Bonneville dams in the Pacific Northwest These federal invest ments have been so successful that there is talk of taking the job of developing the remaining 30 million kilowatts of Northwest hydro by of a regional agency.
 Alaska today is in very much the position in which the Northwest states stood 20 years ago. The economy of the territory needs just little electric push to get off dead center.
 An adequate supply of low cost power do so much to alleviate the drudgery and hardships of pio neerng our northland frontier. Last winter, for n- stance, over 4000 families went through 40 degree below zero weather while living in trailers.
 About 90fo of Alaskas supply of electricity comes from diesel and steam generation Rates very high In Fairbanks electricity sells for six to ten cents per kilowatt hour rising to as high 15 cents in the rural areas
 It is estimated that Alaskas 13O,O00 population reported in 1850 has increased 25lo since then. Even if true it is largely due to military personnel and strucon Yet the real military strength is being gross ly neglected namely the establishing of healthy civilian economy There isn't even cement plant in the Territory The power shortage and high rates are
 An example is the rotting of million tons of pulp wood in the Tongass National forest every year or enough to double domestic pulp production. We import 80%o of our needs from Canada. Federally financed hydro plants such as the Swan Lake project Ketchkan and the Blue Lake project near Sitka would stimulate the building of pulp mills. About

Will Ask Eight Per Cent Pay Boost For Military
 To Offset Cost of Living

WASHINGTON, R - The De- fense Department wants an eight per cent cost-of-hving boost in military pay, to bring it closer to civilian wages as a spur to enlist mentS.
 The proposal to be presented to Congress calls for $84.24 naonth- ly, instead of SIS, for new re- cruit. It would provide $33O.22 monthly for an enlisted man with 30 years service.
 Warrant officers, depending upon grade and length of ser vice, would get from $236.97 to $522.96 a month. Commissioned officers pay would range from $24O.OS to $1,O72.3S month.
 The Defense Department said Wednesday the proposal must clear the Budget Bureau before being submitted to Congress.

Drawing a Fine Line

A fine line indeed is being drawn between
the legislative and executive branches in the
controversy over what Treasury Department
Spokesmen have been saying to business repre-
Sentatives about extending the corporate excess
profits tax.
Chairman Reed and Representative Mills
of the House Ways and Means Committee have
suggested there may have been violations OF
the anti-lobbying laws and the Federal code
bearing upon such activity. There has even
been talk of referring the matter to the De-
partment of Justice.
There has been, of course, no secret about
the position of the administration and the
Treasury Department in favor of extending the
tax for an additional six months. This position
has been expressed publicly not only by Presi-
dent Eisenhower but also by Secretary of the
Treasury Humphrey before the House commit
tee. Mr.. Humphrey also has told the committee
that he and UndcrSecretary Folsom have dis
cusSed this point of view with businessmen. He
has denied however, that he asked business
Spokesmen not to testify before the committee.
Mr.. Folsom has now made a similar denial.

Sensible Housing Policy

The National Capital Housing Authority
has adopted a sensible approach to the difficult
problem of racial integration in local public
housing projects The new policy modifies an
1nf1eXible application of anti-segregation regu-
1ations that has aroused a storm of civic protest
In one affected area gradual, step-by step
extension of the plan for opening public housing
to both races now has been agreed upon. 1t is
decision which properly takes into account
such realistic considerations as the availability
of schools Fairgrounds and other facilities for
both races in the areas to be affected.
Under the former policy of eliminating
segregation in all projects planned or built since
September, 1851, the NCHA would have been
obliged to mix the races in two public housing
units being built in what are now all-colored
or all-white neighborhoodS. The two projects,
now exempted from early integration, are the
Richardson Dwellings, under construction at
Fifty-third and Clay streets Northeast, in a
colored community, and the Highland Dwellings
addition, at Eighth street and Valley avenue
Southeast, in white community. Residents of
the latter area have vigorously protested any
mixing of races there. pointing out that there
are no colored schools, colored Fairgrounds or
other facilities for colored residents. Similarly,
there are no white facilities in the Richardson
Dwellings section
The NCHA announcement said that the
new policy will be put into effect at an early
date in neighborhoodS now equipped to serve
white and colored families but that "the activa-
ton of the policy may be held in allegiance in
areas which do not presently have facilities to
serve tenants of both races" The compromise
arrangement is fair to both races and should
help to solve a problem that was acquiring
serious proportions.

Exit Transit Music

Transit music is gone, and mixed emotions
have marked its passing. Capital Transit Off
cias say that plaudits and regrets are about
evenly divided in the mailed and telephoned
comments so far received from bus and street.
car passengers. There seemed to be no middle
ground with regard to ones feelings toward
music while you-ride" Either one liked it or
he did not. When he did not, he had no inhi-
bitions about expressing his dislike to any
one who would listen-including the Public
Utilities Commission and the courts.
The experiment all in all, proved to be
mistake from the standpoint of public relations
as well as of profit making. It is mistake for
company already bombarded with criticism
from many quarters to launch a project that
will add to the public outcry. Those who were
soothed by the music, or who did not seriously
object to it, accepted the experiment quietly
But those who opposed it raised such fuss
that advertisers were inclined to become wary
of participating. This was so not only in
Washington but throughout the country. At
one time there were more than a dozen cities
with transit radio. Now only Kansas City has
it. And with the decline of usage the profits
from national advertising drastically dimin-
ished. Capital Transit, in shutting down, said
the local operation still was netting about
$4,000 year-but this is hardly enough to
offset the bad public relations engendered by
forced listening" The transit company and
Radio Station WWDC-FM were wise in calling
the whole business OF.
