FILA is available at attrac- tive discount rates once an area has been approved, the council was told. Also the A- HA will make every etfort 10 interest private industry m building both new housing ana low-cost rental units.
 It would take about a year before a project could be got ten underway and probably would require five years to complete. A public hearing
 must be held by the city coun ell before the plan is adopted
 by the city; then it is certl- fled by the government.
 Two areas were discussed; Front street residential areas; and the area bounded by Ca thedral Way, Seward, midway to Observatory Street, to F.
 Street, across c 10 Baranof and down Baranof to Lincoln Street. Not all buildings in that area are sub-standard IT - some are outstanding and
 others need only renovation; while some are elderly and in
 capable of repair.
 Under such a plan, the AHA would interview every family
 in the proposed district, de- | termine their preference as to type of housing and average income. It was stressed that low-cost rental housing is sharply restricted according to income and only a minincmn of these dwellings should be constructed
 It was pointed out the coun- cil, by resolution would have to authorize an application to the AHA to make a predmin- ary survey. There would be no obligation upon the part of the city until such time as con- tract for the actual work on the project was executed.

Interpreting News
by J. M. Roberts A. P. News Analyst

A gOOd many AIIeTIcdH coIll- anunities have just gone thru a dilemma from which Russian foreign minister Molotov would have spared them if he'd been Ehe boss over here.
 People in these communities had to digest a bunch of per sonal records, solemn or farcial election campaign statements, and try to select some employ ees, commonly called officials, to look aA.er public affairs.
 The names of those selected are known Wednesday. The real results in many cases, will not be known for some time. and may never be clearly and publicly defined.
 Some newly elected or recon firaned officials will prove to be dedicated men, and of this group some will succeed and some will fail in their jobs. Some, probably very few, may read the eled ion results as a license to steal the public blind Some will be just ordinary Joes fumbling along honestly but unfruitfully in jobs sought be- cause they didn't have much else to do.
 Bu. they will be the chosen representatives of their com mtrnities in the fields assign ed to them.
 To secure these representa- tives, the people have 'fchoosed up" sides, and in some cases they have gdten pretty bitter about it.
 Secretary Dulles admitted at Geneva the other day that there is risk in such eled ions that the people will choose wrongly. But otherwise, under the communist single-ballot sys tenn where people vote only for the nominees of one parry, it'sE no choice at all, he pointed out
 Molotov was pained. Tn Rus sia, he said, i've conduct cleo tions by single lists and we are l not sorry about that al all" ItI builds up unity, he added. He certainy wasn't going to stand by and see reunijfication of GerI many through an election which did nd build up unity. { Before that, he'd let Germany I stand dismenlbered forever.
 He might have added that ! the Russian government could ! not sponsor an election system ' in Germany which q wouldn't ! dare extend to the peoples it rules.
 He wouldn't understand, eth .r. how the United States was .onceved in such disunity that many of the original colonies .efused to join it for a long lime. nor how so many people lame from Europe to practice the disunity which they were

KnowIund charges aubor chiefs would capture Demos

AIlAINlI lP) Sen. Knowland R-Calif) said Tuesday some la
 Dor leaders hope to capture the Democratic party and gain l control of the government by 1860, if not in 1856.

 There are some in the
 ranks of the new labor com bine who visualize taking con Iirol of the Democratic party as they have in Michigan and making it into the American equivalent of the British La Dor party.o he declared.
 They hope by capturing a great existing panty to retain the name, the tradition and the ties and royalties of genera tions. By 1860 if not in 1856, they plan thereby to gain con- trol over the governmental structure of this country. This is not in the best interests of labor or the nation as al 
 Kanowland, who probably will seek the Republican pres idential nomination if Presi- dent Eisenhower doesn't run, ! hus joined chairman Goldwa- ter (Ariz) of the Republican senatorial campaign committee in criticizing political activi- ties of labor leaders. !
 Goldwater said in a recent repor. that 'fCIO goon squads" had been used in gaining what he contended was labor control over the Democratic l party organization in Michi- l gan. His charges labor leaders [ were planning nationwide l massive use of political slush ] funds" were denied by union leaders.
