Senator to Ask Mckay for Alaskan Newsprint Industry

CUMBERLAND, Md, R-Sen. J. Glenn Beall tR-Md) said in an interview Monday night he would ask Secretary of the Interior Me Kay about the possibility of devel- oping an American newsprint in dustry in Alaska.
 Beall made the statement on the heels of an announcement of a price increase of $5 per ton in newsprint by the Abitibi Power and Paper Co. of Toronto, effec- tive Nov. l. Last week the St. Lawrence Corp. announced a sim liar price hike.
 Beall said lit sounds a little" like the Canadian producers are trying to circumvent accusations of monopoly by trying to be subtle in raising their prices"
 BeaI said he would ask Mckay what tracts of land are available for production of pulp wood in Alaska and would seek the sec retary's views on the idea of Am erican newsprint production in Alaska
 There are thousands of acres for pulp wood production" said Beall.
 He said the supply should last indefinitely with proper cutting and farming. He also pointed out it would have to be determined 'just what steps are needed" to encourage private capital to de- velop a newsprint supply in AL aska under government super vision.
 "Then we can go further into this matter of developing our own pulp wood supply" he said.

ton.
An FILA report on the status
o. the cooperative program as
of the end of March indicated
that Is additional cooperative
projects providing for 1885 adj
dltlona, families are now under
way. Applications are in process
for lat more co-operatives pro-
riding for 1900 additional dwell
ling units.
Altogether, the first five years
OF the program have brought to
completion, or find in the pro-

Alexandra Studies Zoninq
To Boost Housing Supply

Colonial town houses on shady
cobblestone streets, modern ram =
blers in neat subdivisions, duplex
dwellings and even small es-
tates abound in historic old Alex
andria that was a thriving sea-
port long before Washington was
established.
In city with municipal facili-
ties and so close to Washington,
land costs are somewhat higher
than those in more outlying
sections of nearby Virginia with
out municipal improvements.
Although the types of homes
in Alexandria are numerous, the
quantity is a different matter.
Alexandria had pretty well
filled up its rs square miles of
territory by 1852. The city de-
cided to annex like amount of

land from Fairfax County. With
in the rs square miles annexed
from the county. the city looked
for an unprecedented building
boom.
The anticipated boom was lit
tie more than a loud pop, when
compared with the mammoth
subdivisions springing up in ad-
jacent Fairfax County.
Larger Lots Laid Out
Much of the annexed territory
was reserved in zones intended
for expensive homes on half
acre lots. Only a scattering of
such homes have been built.
Denis Cahill, planning direc-
tor, estimates that less than 100
detached single-family homes
were built within the annexed
area from 1852 to 1854. Things
are picking up right now. About
25s single family homes are I'M
der construction.
Apartment and semi-detached
home construction has not been
quite so slow. About 1000 apart
ment units have been built with
in the annexed area during the
past two years. and more than
500 semi-detached homes have
been constructed. Many of the
mi-detached homes are just
being completed.
To encourage the high-type
development the city
had hoped for in the annexed
area, the planning commission
now is studying possible revisions
of coming regulations.
These would permit variances
in The large-lot sections of the
city, allowing developers to take
advantage of land contour and
make The cost of Improvements
less expensive.
Pickup Expected
Mr.. Cahill exp ects construction
of single family homes to pick
up when this plan is worked out,
and as new sewer lines gradually
are built through the annexed
area.
The house hunter who wants
to avoid big subdivisions has an
easier time of it.

Censure Of Israel
For GAIA Incident
Due in u. n. Today

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Mar. 80 (P.-Israeli diplomatic
s"'r~ces acknowledged today that
their government faced certain
LIldemnation by the United
Nations Security Council for the
GAIA battle.
Such censure was proposed
late yesterday by the United
States, Britain and France. The
11-nation council was called to
meet this afternoon to resume
debate on the February % clash
in which 38 Egyptians and eight
Israelis were killed.
While Israel's delegation with
held formal comment on the
Western resolution, one Israeli
source said the proposal appeared
certain to win almost solid ap-
proval from the council.
The Western Big Three offered
a second resolution calling upon
the U. N. truce chief, Maj. Gen.
E. L. M. Burns, to continue
consultations with Israeli and
Egyptian authorities on steps to
ease tension along the border.
Gen. Burns laid a series of
proposals before the two govern
mentS last November. He told
the council earlier this month
that the proposals still are pend
ing. They include stronger bor-
der patrols and tighter super
vision to prevent infiltration
across the border.
The new Western proposal
urged both Israel and Egypt to
cooperate with the truce chief
in working out peace measures.
The council was expected to
take up the second Western res
olution in connection with an
Israeli complaint against al
legged Egyptian violations of the
border. Gen. Burns in his re-
port on the GAIA battle said Gin
filtration from Egyptian-con-
trolled territory has undoubtedly
been one of the main causes of
the present tension"
