Alaska Budget Of S3O,OOO,OOO for '57-'58 Proposed

JUNEAU, R-A budget recom- mendation calling for expenditure of about S30,0O0, ,000 for operation of the territorial government in the fiscal year of 1857 and 1858 was drawn up yesterday by the Department of Finance.
 The proposed budget, the result of weeks of culling and trimming by Budget Director Richard Freer and Finance Director John Nc Kinney, now has about two months to ferment in the minds of those concerned before it comes up before the territorial legisla- ture.
 There was little question that the budget would be one of the most knotty problems the legisla- ture will have to solve when 1t convenes here next January "A.
 Freer called the budget recom- mendations "the closest thing to holding the line on expenses that we could come up with" He said as nearly as could be figured, the proposed budget matched expect ed territorial income for the 1957- 59 biennium.
 Many government officials, how ever, privately were predicting that nothing short of a tax in- crease of some sort would keep Alaska operating in the black in the coming two years.
 It appeared, however. that the legislature would be more in- clined to do further tax work on the budget rather than impose any tax increase.

.Longshoremen On West Coast Agree to Pay Hike

SAN FRANCISCO, R-S h ip owners and 16,000 West Coast longshoremen agreed on 16-cent hourly pay hike Wednesday.
 The boost, retroactive to Oct. l, gave stevedores a wage of $2.45 an hour. Only wage terms were open for review. The no-strike contract runs until June 1858.
 A joint announcement of the settlement was made by the Pa cific Maritime Assn. and the h. ternational Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union.
 Harry Bridges, ILWU president, got permission from his followers to call strike, if advisable, in sympathy with striking Interna- tional Longshoremen's Association members at East and Gulf Coast ports. An ILWU spokesman re- marked that decision to call such a strike is "a bridge to be crossed when we get to it." But PIMA spokesman said such strike would violate the West Coast con- tracts no-strike clause.

Program Considered for Mass Building of Shelters Against Nuclear Attack

WASHINGTON R-The EiSen- hover Administration is reported considering a mass shelter build ing program for civil defense which ultimately might cost bill lions of dollars.
 Officials in position to know said Thursday several different proposals are under study which contemplate asking Congress for upwards of $200 million to launch the program next year.
 These officials said the propo- sals are designed to complement the program for evacuation of critical target areas.
 It was pointed out that Val Pe- terson, federal civil defense ad- ministrator, said in a speech Oct. 10 that his agency is vitally inter ested in shelter proposals but there is no single solution.
 He said there should be bal ance between evacuation and shel- ter, reiterating that shelters would not protect from the full force of thermonuclear explosions.

 Mayor Leon Johnson reported to the Chamber that a stop-gap meas ure has been completed on the water supply for the winter.

District En- gineers to do the work because of lack of personnel in the Engineer ing office. He said the survey and soundings should be complete within a week.
 Merrill Coon reported that liar old Meats of the Army Engineers has informed him that an egineer will soon be here to begin probing. work on the harbor. He will also investigate the possibility of the new Base-town road.
