It was all very embarrassing
Later I found myself annoyed
less with the postal authorities

mistake (that is. they forgot that
my letters specifically were not

the mistake Of being caught. But

Says Interests Trying To Cruelty Committee For FILA Investigation

WASHINGTON, R - Senator Capehart R-InO today accused the National Association of Home builders of trying to cruelty this administration" and the Senate Banking Committee for their probe of multi million dollar housing scandals.
 Capehart, chairman of the banking committee, told R. G. Hughes, president of the Home builders:
 we are not going to permit you or any other person to fleece the American people," He said he did not believe in your trying to beat the brains out of a committee (which is) trying to do an honest job."
 Capehart's outbreak came just after he read statement issued by Hughes last week when the housing scandal broke.
 That statement cautioned against a "circus atmosphere which would ''give the Federal Housing Administration a false reputation" and stated, according to Capehart, that Investigations make big headlines"
 Hughes, on behalf of the Home builders, disputed charges that the government is millions of dol lars out of pocket and that too high rents have resulted from al legged widespread abuses under the governments own insurance program.
 The committee is Investigating allegations that some apartment builders raked in "unconscion- able" profits by obtaining over size loans through either dishon- esty or inefficiency on the part of FILA officials.

Court Flies To Interior Villages To Dispense
 Justice In Local Courts

FAIRBANKS, R - Law en- forcement is being flown from village to village through the remote regions of interior Alaska.
 In past years, persons accused of misdemeanors were flown to Fairbanks for prosecution. Now, the Territorial Police and a US. district attorney fly from place to place to prosecute cases before the U. s. Commissioner in each community.
 The travelling agents advise the commissioner concerning the case and prepare the case against the offender. This results in saving of considerable money formerly spent in transporting accused per sons and witness to the Commis- sioner's Court in Fairbanks.
 US. Atty. George Yeager and 3 men are making the flight with police officers. He prosecuted his first case - a drunken driving charge-in Big Delta last week. The flying prosecutor is using Fish and Wildlife Service planes now but police hope to soon have their own airplane.

Chipperfield Says Little Research" Done Before
 Calling For His Dismissal

ANCHORAGE, R-W. A. Chip perfield, territorial land commis- sioner, said Tuesday the Repub- lican Divisional Committee appar- ently had done little research" before calling for his dismissal.
 The land commissioner said that despite the resolution he would "still do my duty to the best of my ability"
 George Milligan, head of the Anchorage Employment Security Office, said such charges are un- warranted.
 Cheeks are no more delayed this year than in the past" Milli- gan said. He said delays are caused because claims must be procesSed in Juneau and it usual ly takes from three to five weeks before a claim can be paid here.
 1t would be impossible to get a check to a claimant any fast er," he said.
