NC. Improvement Is 4th in Nome This Season

The Northern Commercial Com pany's improvements are the fourth big improvement in Nome this fall.
 The new school building, the Polar Curio Shop and the Alaska Airlines building have already been completed this fall and next season a new federal building will improve the efficiency and ap- pearance of Front Street.
 Plans were released this week for the proposed new Alaska Ma tional Guard armory for Nome.
 Completely new and modern hotel rooms at the North Star Bakery building will soon aug ment the present over-taxed ho- tel facilities.
 Howard Green has well-laid plans for construction of mod ern motel.
 When the community has its water and sewerage system, more homes and small businesses can plan improvements and expand under the FILA plan which is now denied the town.

CAB Proposes Less Subsidy for Alaska Airlines

WASHINGTON, R-The Civil Aeronautics Board has proposed total mail pay of $l,850,256 for Alaska Airlines for the 12 months starting April 4, 1856. This is about $322,000 less than the an- nual mail pay previously pro- vided.
 "It is our hope that the down. ward trend in mail pay require ments will continue ,," the CAB said in a statement of provisional findings. Nm
 The CAB said it started the new rate proceedings because it appeared the airline's financial condition had improved and it's need for a subsidy might have diminished.
 ga The CAB proposed to pay the line $871, ,907 annually, or $8o.55 a revenue mile, for carrying mail on it's Portland-Seattle-Fairbanks route; and $978,349, or $46.o4 a revenue mile, for hauling mail within Alaska.
 It said that on the U.S.-AlaSka route the line thus would receive $11O,121 year for the actual cost of carrying the mail and $761,786 in subsidy.
 Within Alaska, the mail pay would total $4O9,898 annually and the subsidy $568,451.

 Goodrich comes from pioneers away back, as his ancestor came to America in 1643 and later set tied in Illinois. He hopes some day soon to be eligible to be called a pioneer of Alaska.
 He has worked untiringly for the economic development of Northwest Alaska and is at pres ent on the Board of Road Com miSsioners working for the com pletion of the Fairbanks-Nome Road, has been active on the Pub lie Utilities Board, is past presi- dent of the Chamber of Com merce, and is now president of the Rotary Club of Nome.
 Second in command at the N. C. Store is L. G. Jeffries, who came to Nome a year ago as mer- chandising manager and who re- gently has been made store man. ager under Goodrich, who is gen. eral manager.
 Jeffries' background includes work with the s. S. Kresge Co. in Omaha, diamond salesman for Friedlander & Son in Seattle, and Allied Stores in Tacoma.

Priest Dies After Fall From Roof; Lies in Snow Unnoticed Overnight

 The priest laid unnoticed in the snow Wednesday night and was discovered dead yesterday morn ing by parishioners.

Remodeling Is Continuation Of
 } Years Planning mi

Tomorrow is a big day at the Northern Commercial Go. store as they hold open-house for the community.
 The completion of their store remodeling is the continuation of plan started about three years ago when General Manager Dew ey Goodrich made up his mind that Nome should have as modern a store as any in the territory and proceeded to sell the idea to NC. officials.
 Last year, the market was mod ernized and the results were so spectacular that the completion of the store, following the plans of their Fairbanks and Anchorage stores became a must.
 General Manager Goodrich is a pioneer by choice, having come to Alaska to teach school at White Mountain. He started his em- ployment with the N. C. Go. in 1933, taking over the Candle store where he stayed five years, then

Roin Quickly Subdues
Alaska Forest Fire

ANCHORAGE, Alaska. July 7
(R.-Rain has done in two days
what a flre-fighting crew was
unable to do in two weeks in
western Alaska. 1t stopped a for
est fire that blackened more
than $4,000 acres of spruce and
brush country.
Lightning was blamed for the
fire along the Yukon River, near
Nulato. The flames had spread
steadily in warm, dry weather.

trouble holding highly skilled
men attached to the Nike anti
aircraft batteries which ring the
Nations major cities. Housing
is problem with the Army, too,
and under the housing bill the
Army would have acquired a
substantial number of quarters.
There was nothing in the mil
itary housing part of the bill
that caused the Rules group to
table the measure. The chief
bone of contention is a public
housing section.
Hope to Salvage Bill
At the Pentagon, officials were
taking a "never-say die" atti-
tude this week end. Although
the housing bill is in the dol
drums. they expressed hope that
members of Congress might find
a way to salvage the military
housing part of the measure.
The bill, as now constituted,
allows private contractors to
construct housing on Govern
ment reservations. Then the
Government, using rental allow
ances allotted by law to per-
sonnet. pays of the mortgages
on the property. BY this means,
the Government does not have
to put up appropriated funds
for quarters.
This authority has been in ef-
feet for one year. Legislative au-
thority will end on September 30
unless extended. and by that
time it is estimated that only
1000 housing units will have
been approved for the Air Force
274,0OO Units Needed
Even the $4,000 homes pro-
vided in the military section of
the now-dormant bill would be
hardly more than a drop in the
bucket, according to Pentagon
officials. Defense Department
testimony places the total mill
tary housing deficit at 274,OOO
units.
At present, only one contract
has been awarded under exist
ing law. This provides for ga
sets of quarters at Abilene (Tex)
Air Force Base.
The bill which the Pentagon
hopes will be revived would al
most double the aggregate
amount of mortgages the mill
tary would be allowed to sign.
An increase Of Sill billion above
the present authorization of $1.3
billion is provided. 1t also would
increase the average maximum
mortgage authorized per unit in
any one project from $13,50O to-
$16.500.
Under existing law, COMPETE
tive bids are taken on all projects
and mortgages cover 100 per cent
of the cost.
