$8.8 Million Fund Allotted
Southwest SIun1 Clearance

The redevolpment agency,
meanwhile. disclosed that the
Federal action clears the way for
these immediate next steps:
/. A detailed appraisal of every
land parcel in the 76 acres. This
will be conducted by eight private
land experts, selected by the
agency.
2. A title search Of every prop
erty. Bids on this job will be
sought soon.
Both steps, expected to be
completed in about so days, are
preliminary moves to acquisition
Of the land. The fastest way to
acquire the land would be for
the redevelopment agency to ask
Justice Department to file a Fed
eral declaration of taking
against the entire area. This pro-
cedure, used by Federal agen-
cies to acquire park and other
lands, would give the agency
immediate title to the entire
tract. Settlement with property
owners then would be made by
the land agency-either in or
out of court.
Must Find New Housing.
Mr.. Searles said the agency
hoped to negotiate as many land
purchases as possible.
The agency, meanwhile, is
committed to a policy of finding
adequate housing, at reasonable
cost, for every resident of the
area before taking any action to
evict. Real success of the oper-
alton, therefore. will depend on
the agency's ability to rehouse
occupants of the 1,345 dwelling
units. Officials don't even hope
to accomplish the job in less
than two years.
AS small areas are vacated,
however, the job Of demolition
and land clearance would go
ahead.
Area B is planned primarily
as a low-income section, with at
least one-third of the units de-
signed to rent for no more than
SIT per room per month. Build
ing proposals which meet these
specifications are before the
agency now. submitted by the
five building groups seeking the
contract.

GROTON. Conn.,, April A.
The atomic submarine America
is building is a secret weapon,
but there are no secrets about
the kind of men who will serve
her.
They are right in step with
the atomic age. Its great pres
sures do not frighten them.
They are sustained by many
seemingly commonplace things:
The folks at home. The thought
of a girl-or many girls-books
and cold beer. Music, both
sweet and hot. Laughter and
talk, but most of all, the sense
of belonging to a team.
These are the conclusions
reached in talking with group
of young Navy men who spent
two months sealed in the sub
marine Haddock at the naval
sub base here.
Operation Hideout" it was
called. Directed by Comdr.
Gerald j. Duffner. It's purpose
was to determine reactions to
close confinement for prolonged
periods: specifically, to learn the
exact percentage of carbon di-
oxide men can tolerate.
Navy Needs the Answers.
The answers are essential to
the Navy. Down the Gray
Thames River from the Haddock
they are building this cour1try's
first atomic submarine, the Nau-
titus. It is expected to be. in
the water next year.
The, % enlisted men who were
sealed up with 1t. Cmdr. Ralph
E. Faucet Of Perrysville, Ind,
medical officer and skipper of
the Haddock for the experiment,
are taking it easy for a while
after clambering out Of the sub
marine March 10.
Not one OF them cracked under
the strain of long confinement.
There were no fightS-not even
a heated quarrel.
Imagine living for so days by
electric light on one floor of your
home with % other persons. The
men Of the Haddock fashioned a
quiet drama of human endur-
ance and relationships.
One Experienced Submarines.
They are not supermen: in

its part Of the program.
2. When the project is finished,
money from two sources will re-
pay the amount Of the loan used.
The first is money recaptured by
sale or lease Of Area B land to
the private developer The sec
ond is Federal grant money
needed To make up the differ
ence, up to the maximum allot-
ment Of $6.385.186.
Thus, the entire Federal grant
will not be drawn until total cost
of the project and resale value
Of the land are known. The $S.8
million and $6.3 million Federal
ALLEGATION estimates indicate that
the resale value of land was
figured at about $2.5 million.
The higher the latter figure
goes. however, the less the Gov
ernment will have to fork over.
Size Of the land purchase offer
will be one of the major factors
in determining which of the
builders is to get the contract.
Figures Are Estimates.
Both District and Federal
officials stressed that the alloca-
tions are maximum estimates,
and that true costs can not be
determined in advance.
The net Area B project cost
Excluding the land re-sale) was
estimated by the housing agency
at $1O,007,379. This amount is
made up of the $6,385.18 grant
ALLEGATION and $3.622,193 as the
Districts contribution.
Major project in the city con-
tribution will be a portion Of the

famous newspaper published in

Mr.. Karakurt will write about

Mr.. Karakurt said there here in
Nome he felt at home, because the
people are so friendly and help
full, knowing that he and his
companion are strangers in a
strange land and need guidance
and advice He knows well that
his country, Turkey and our
United States are united in a
common bulwark against Red
Communist in his corner of the
world. He related that not so long
ago he spent IS days in Moscow,
very costly city and one, he
said, which he was very happy
to be leaving to the Russians to
enjoy.
While here they were fortunate
in meeting Isador Chameris as
he conversed with them in their
native language and also in
French. They enjoyed a fast tour
Of the city courtesy of @ Cab
with Chameris as their guide.
The two Turkish newsmen ex-
pressed thanks for a grand time
in Nome.
Other visitors were Mr.. and
Mrs. w. A. Rogers, Portland, Ore.
Mr.. Rogers is almost an Alaskan
for he has been building highways
in interior Alaska for several
years. He earnestly looks for
ward to the time when he will
become better acquainted with
Nome when his company assists
in the construction Of the Nome
to-Fairbanks Highway.
He says that only by such a
trunk-line road, will this section
Of Alaska prosper and its long
stored mineral resources be de-
veloped with year around pay
rolls. From Nome, freight ton
mage out of Seattle would increase
as merchandise and equipment
could be trucked into the interior
serving all Of the Koyukuk dis
trict. He further stated that every
effort should be made by the
Chambers Of Commerce, Rotary
and all other CARNATIONS, to
keep active on this highway mat
ter-that even though the Second
Division would be greatly bene-
fitted, the rest Of Alaska would
also reap.

Council Legislation
May Be Necessary 10
Save Fire Funds

The Montgomery County
Council may have to legislate
itself out of a legal entangle-
ment it created last week in re-
jecting a proposed firehouse site
on Massachusetts, avenue ex-
tended.
County Attorney David Mac
donald. it was reported, told the
council, during a closed session.
that legislation might be re-
quired to assure county volunteer
fire departments they would con-
tinue to receive county tax
funds.
In rejecting the site last week,
three of the councilmen said
they based their action in part
on their Interpretation of the
county code, which makes null
and void" any purchase of a site
for a firehouse or library before
a public hearing is held.
The councilmen-two of them
attorneys-said the council was
unable to legalize the purchases
by approving the sites for con-
struction of firehouses.
Tax Funds Barred.
Under another section of the
code any library or fire board
that fails to follow the pro-
cedure prescribed for land pur-
chase is prohibited from re-
ceiving tax funds for its support
Councilman Lathrop Smith
yesterday said he has been upset
lby newspaper stories which told
of the effect of the councilmen's
strict Interpretation of the law
Mr.. Smith said some fire COM
panies are justly alarmed by
the reported threat to their tax
| funds.
"The farthest thing from the
councilmen's minds was to place
in jeopardy these fire companies
funds" Mr.. Smith said.
He demanded that action be
initiated Immediately to reas-
sure the firemen and asked Mr.
Macdonald to study the situa-
ton and come up with possible
remedies. Mr.. Macdonald's opin-
ion had been overruled by the
councilmen-attorneys, who sup
ported the action to block the
