Based on Market Conditions.
He insisted that under the
circumstances at the time, it was
necessary for the Treasury to
issue those bonds and that the
rate was not fixed by the Treas
ury but was based on market
conditions at the time.
Senator Douglas said he was
more concerned with the wis
dom" of the Treasury in raising
the interest rates to 3A interest
rate, and also because the bond
issue was stretched out" over
an unusually long term. !
IT think that was a mistake -
the Illinois Senator told Secre-
tary Humphrey. "But I am glad
that neither you nor Mr.. Burgess
tRandolph Burgess. Undersecre-
tary of the Treasury maintained
that the raise in the interest rate
was necessary to prevent infla-

Secretary Humphrey vigorously
denied that the 1853 bond issue
or any Treasury fiscal policy was
designed to help big banks or
large buyers of bonds.

RIA Directors Plan
Sale Of ST. Million
In Short-TerI1l Notes

Details Of proposed refinanc-
ing under which $7.2 million in
short notes for six months
will be issued were discussed to-
day by the Board Of Directors of
the Redevelopment Land Agency.
Sealed proposals for the sale
Of these notes will be received
at 499 Pennsylvania avenue
NV, the agency's headquarters.
and publicly opened at ! pm.
December IA.
John r. Searles, executive di-
rector. explained the funds to
be realized will be used to finance
the remainder of Southwest
Project B, as well as to repay
what the agency has borrowed
up to date from the Housing and
Home Finance Agency.
Mr.. Searles declared through
this financial transaction the
agency hopes to save more than
$4,000 in interest in six months.
This. he said, will easily exceed
the agency's total payroll for
that period.
Exempt From Taxes.
Irasmuch as the notes will be
exempt from all Federal and
State taxes. Mr.. Searles declared
that the offering will be novel
and attractive to the financial
market. He explained that at
least two Washington banks have
expressed interest in the issues.
Beginning January 4, we hope
we will be operating on private
funds and there will not be a
dime of Federal money in our OPP
Grafton" Mr.. Searles declared.
The recent Supreme Court de-
cision, upholding the legality of
redevelopment, brought from
Chairman John A. Remon the
expression at the board meeting
that sit was a very wonderful
decision so far as we are con-
cerned." He added that it will
also apparently clear the at
mosphere for redevelopment in
the States.
No Unusual Problems.
Mr.. Searles told the board the
agency now has no unusual
problems in relocating families
from houses which the Govern
ment is taking over under the
program. He pointed out there
is a close working relationship
between RIA and the National
Capital Housing Authority. Mr..
Remon added his endorsement
to this.
Mr.. Remon reported that he
expects shortly to have another
discussion with William Zecken-
dorff, who is interested in the
Southwest Redevelopment, to
discuss further details.
The location of a shopping
center, a recreation center and
a school in area c will also be
taken up shortly.
49,. Wants Planning Aid.
Mr.. Remon emphasized that
it is important that every phase
in the memorandum of under
standing" between Mr.. ecken-
dorf and the agency be partici-
pated in by the National Capital
Planning Commission.
The board adopted a resolu-
ton expressing its thanks to
Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss, re-
firing Engineer Commissioner
for his work and also to Solicitor
General Simon Sobeloff, who
argued the re-development case
| in the Supreme Court.
Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III,
president, Columbia Historical
Society, asked the agency to pre-
serve worthwhile historical biuld-
ings in the Southwest. Chair
man Remon said that the agency
will give every consideration to
this.

Mr.. Humphrey told a news
conference yesterday "We can
not balance the budget" during
the year starting next July /
He said every effort would be
made to keep the deficit below
SO billion. And he confirmed a
previous forecast that the deficit
for the present fiscal year, end
ing June 30, would be in the
vicinity Of $475 billion.
Senators Sparkman and Doug.
las, Democrat. of Illinois assailed
the administration for what they
called utterly unrealistic" 1862
campaign promises to bring Gov.
eminent spending within the
limits of revenues and thereby
balance the Federal budget.

very careful study" by Congress
Of tax reductions scheduled for
next spring. ...
These include a decrease from

income tax rate and reduction
in a number of excise tsales)
taxes. Mr.. Humphrey said he
couldn't anticipate whether
President Eisenhower will sug-
gest abandoning the cuts. But
his comments encouraged the
belief that the administration
will oppose any tax decreases
next year.
No Surprise to Him.
Senator Sparkman, the Demo-
cratic vice presidential nominee
IN 1852, said IN a separate in
tervieW:
1T is no surprise to me that
they can't balance the budget.
The Republicans said they were
going to do that and they were
going to cut spending and pare
down the national debt and Gre
ate what they called sound
dollar.
Actually. the dollar is worth
as little today as ever before
And the budget is worse out OF
balance than ever before in
peacetime. The debt is going up
Spending has not come down.
The Republicans, Senator
Sparkman said, "have learned
the facts of life since that
roseate campaign pledge they
made in 1852. That was political
clackety-c lack."
No Blame on G. 0. p.
Senator Douglas said he was
not blaming the Republican
administration for failing tt
balance the budget"
I'm not surprised at Mr.
Humphreys statement" he told
a reporter But I think the
experience of the Republican
Party should teach them not to
be SO loose with their campaign
promises"
Gen. Eisenhower will present
his budget recommendations
shortly after Congress assemblies
next month.

At the Chamber of Com merce meeting held on Thurs day, Marshall Crutcher, the president presented the idea of daylight saving time for the City of Kodiak. Other A. laskan cities, through their Chambers of Commerce are considering the adoption of the plan but the concensus of opinion seemed to be against it in Kodiak. The plan would push the clocks ahead two hours, chiefly to allow more daylight time for recreational purposes.
 One member sounded the opinion of most everyone at the meeting when he said, We have daylight in Kodiak now to waste"

ACS Announces Phone Call Rate Increase

The spiraling cost of com rnodities which has prevailed in recent years has necessit- ated an increase in rates for telephone calls between A. Iaska and the United States, Colonel M. R. Kunitz, com. handing officer of the Alaska Communication system, an nounced today.
 The new rates, which will be effective July T, will re- fleet the first increase since 1945.
 Four civilian employeewa increases since World War II, increased shipping and transportation costs to and within the territory, and the high cost of maintaining a communications system under adverse weather conditions and in rugged terrain were indicated as factors which contributed to the necessity for a rate increase at this time. The telephone user in Alaska is also obtaining bet ter quality and faster long distance telephone service as a result ot recent expansion of facilities and modernization of telephone plant by ACS at dsconsiderable cost,
 EThe rate adjustment will ainount to a twg1ty-fiye cent per minute increase in the Isates for long distance calls Hetween Alaska and the United States. However, Athe present maximum rate of $9 for a 8 minute call will not he changed.
 For example a person to per. son 3 minute day rate cal from Juneau or Ketchikan tc Seattle will cost $5.22 plus federal tax, as compared with %.50 plus tax under the old rate schedule. The same tyre call from Anchorage or Fair. banks to Seattle will cost $6. 7E plus tax, as compared with $500 plus tax. It was pointed out that the reduction in the federal tax from 25 percent to 10%. effective l April 1854 practically negated the impact of the rate increase.
 Colonel Kunitz further sta ted that since 1945 the price oi most everything people buy ir Alaska has gone up over 33 z, whereas this telephone rate in. crease will amount to an aver age of about liz to the using customer far lower than the increased cost, of most other products and servlces Alaska residents buy.
