Gruenil,g tells convention of unfair treatment by US.

Russia.
 He quoted the treaty of cession, by which Alaska was annexed, as containing the following clause:
 The inhabitants of the ced- ed territory .... shall be ad- mitted to all rights, advantag- es and irnmunities of citizens of the United States ...."
 Said Doctor Gruening: That was the pledge. The United States has not kept that pledge. Yet a treaty is the highest law of the land, and it is made in clear view of all mankind.
 He charged that Alaskans are worse off than the found ing fathers of our nation who revoked against the King of England. Pointing ou. that Alaskans are taxed without representation. he said resi- dents of the territory also are subject to military service for the nation a privilege and an obligation Alashans gladly accept but an obligation that King George III did not impose on our colonial fore fathers.

 Doctor Gruening, who re- tired after serving as governor of Alaska for 13 years, bitterly condemned what he termed Limited States colonialism in our nations dealings with All aska."
 He told his audience that @onr nation was born of re- volt against colonialism .... our charters of liberty .... the Declaration of Indepen- dence and the Constitution !. enabody Americas opposi- tion to colonialism ......"
 Then, Doctor Gruening took the. original Declaration of In dependence. compared the com plaints of our founding fathers with the complaints of present day Alaskans. His comparison showed a similarity between the grievances of 1776 and the gripes "of present day Alas kanS.
 Gruening said:
 Alaska is no less a colony than were those thirteen col onies along the Atlantic sea- board in TITS. The colonial isan which the United States imposes on us, and which we have suffered for 88 years, is no less burdensome. no less unjust than that against which they (our founding fathers) poured out blood and treas ure

Council hears pIun for Sitku AIuska Housing Authority

cy for the western territory. We are here to bring you some information you have been looking forward to and which will do the city of Sit ka a good deal of good" MT. Gagnon said in opening the session. He went on to state the city could take advantage of the provisions of the hous- ing act of 1854 and that a workable plan had already been submitted and should have the approval of the ad- ministrator in a very short time.
 MT. Ives stated his office has completed a review of the workable program and when the administrator approves this, the city may move ahead in the field of urban renewal The federal government, he explained, does not conduct a project in a community; the city must take the initiative and operate through the Alas ka Housing Authority m ithe latter agency serving as the supervising agency on behalf of the city. The city council would have to initiate and ap- prove every step in the pro gram.
 Main federal assistance is financial; it can lend money to prepare a project plan and also to carry out the project; and share in the net cost loss of 4he project on the basis of 25 by the government to 1s by the city.
 Steps outlined were pur- chase of buildings and land in an area deemed to be blight ed";; demolition of buildings; sale of the land to private buyer by auction or bid, land to be used according to the zoning ordinance. The agency assists in the relocation of those moved from sub-stan- dard housing.
 The city's portion may be paid in cash or grant-in-aid, the latter being any public works which benefit the blight ed area and which may be ap- piled against the city portion of The cost.

Foreign ministers
 holt discussion of European security

GENEVA (H) The Western powers today failed to change what they called Russia's at- tempt to ''Sovietize" all Ger many. They then suspended dis cussion of European security and the reunification of Ger many.
 The action came after U. s. secretary of sta.e Dulles had charged Russian policy would perpetuiate a danger to the peace of Europe.
 Soviet foreign minister Mo- lotov, in his speech to the con ference today, said securi M has priority over German reun ification. The Western security proposals, he said, are unsat- isfactory and Russian propos- als have not been properly con- sidered.
 Molotov, who yesterday re- iected the idea of free elections in Germany, said the German problem is a matter to be settl ed by the two Germanys-
 Molotov said again today:
 "Conditions for the immedi- ate conduct of German cleo 'tions do not now exist, since the problem has not matured sufficiently and has not been sufficiently prepared" The action to suspend discus sion of German unity was taken on motion by foreign secre- tarv Mac Milan of Britain. Molotov then proposed that the number of foreign troops in Germany be reduced by 50 per cent and that the armed units of both East and West German governments he redut ed.
