AFTER ITS FIRST CENTURY
Corcoron Gallery Is Seeking Financial Help

For the first time in its 100
year history, the Corcoran
Gallery of Art is feeling a
financial pinch along with
growing pains.
The directors Of the city's
distinguished art center feels it
has reached that point in the
history of most private insti-
tutions where it either stays
pretty much the same, or
branches out, expands and
carefully kicks up a heel or
two.
Quietly, for the first time, the
gallery is seeking financial help.
For as the gallery'S officials
state: "The Corcoran can only
continue to serve and to grow
if a wide section of the COM
munity has confidence in its
mission and is willing to sup
port it,"

ScraWIs Found
AT Housing
Vandalism Report
Cites SIum Habits
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star stan Writer

DlSCrlct pubic housing oft1-
cials have conceded they have
a vandalism problem at their
housing projects, but say it is
limited mainly to scrawling on
walls. And they contend that
some property destruction
should be expected from for
mer slum tenants.
The report was drawn up by
the National Capital Housing
Authority's staff after last
weeks vandalism charges by
a member Of the authority,
John A. Remon. Mr.. Remon
said housing officials were try
ing to cover up very serious
vandalism problems" at Green
leaf Gardens and other projects.
The staff report, requested
by the authority's directors,
did not touch on Mr.. Remon's
cover up" charges. Neither did
| it directly refute Mr.. Remon's
contention that vandalism con-
stitutes a major problem at
the projects.
ObScenities Found
Instead, the staff reported
that vandalism at Greenleaf
Gardens and the adjacent
Southwest project. James Greek
Dwellings, is limited almost ex-
clusively to widespread scrawl-
ings of words and pictures on
walls, many of them obscene.
James Ring, the authority's
executive director, and his
aides conceded:
mo responsible staff mem
ber of the authority would
deny that there have been in
stances of vandalism, thefts Of
equipment, DETACHMENT or other
damage among the properties
of the authority. Managers
and their STATS are required to
be continuously alert on such
matters, to report instances
promptly and to take prompt
action"
In explanation, Mr.. Ring
said late rental payments and
damage to dwelling units must
be expected 80 long as the
authority truly performs its
basic duty of rehousing low
income families from the slumS
of Washington. ="
Habits Transferred
The report added:
"Our managers recognize that
such problems represent strong
ly entrenched living habits
transferred from the slums, and
the first major task of man.
agement is to replace those
habits by progressive Develop
ment of tenant responsibility"
Mr.. Ring, who pointed out
that the culpritS in property
damage and theft cases may
be trespaSserS rather than ten.
ants, recommended that addi.
tional funds be provided to-:
l. Increase the number Of
janitors so that there will be
a maintenance staff on duty
every day, rather than just five
days a week.
2. Provide a social worker to
assist problem families in get
ting the needed services from
public and private welfare
Police Calls Minor
In addition, Mr.. Ring said,
the staff is considering the idea
of hiring workers to assist in
those responsible for
police trouble in the apartment
buildings.
The report included a state
ment from the police depart
nent that there are no reports
or records" to show serious van
dalisrn OF thievery at the prof.
ects. Most police calls, the
statement said, are for family
disturbances and complaints
from neighbors.
A fire company report said
there had been calls to the two
projects for relatively minor
fires.

Smith Seated As Senate Member From Ketchikan

JUNEAU, R - All Alaska's legislative desks were occupied for the first time this session yes terday, with w. O. Smith, Ketchi- kan Democrat, seated as the 20th member of the Senate and two delayed lawmakers at work
 Late Wednesday, the Senate voted 17-2, after an hours debate and on strict party lines, to adopt majority committee report which recommended that Smith be seated as Senator for a two-year term from the Ketchikan-Prince of Wales District The special com mittee had held Al, also on party lines, that ballot study showed Smith to be 2-vote winner over William K. Boardman, Ketchikan Republican
 With the matter settled, Board man greeted Smith with a hand shake outside the Senate chamber and said:
 My best to you. Now I'm going home"
 Smith had sat in the Senate gallery since Monday, when the Legislature convened, while Boardman occupied the 2Oth Sen ate chair until his right to it was challenged. The two tied at 1853 votes each in the November Gen. eral Election and Boardman won what amounted to a temporary certificate of office at a Decem- Der lot drawing. A recount fol- lowed.
 Republican Senator John B.. Coghill of Nenana, minority mem Der of the special committee, ar gued that secrecy of the ballot was involved in the dispute. He said 209 ballots cast in the Metlakatla Precinct contained at least one of two numerical tabs that could identify the voters
 The delayed legislators who ar rived from Petersburg to complete the House and Senate lineups were Senator James Nolan, Wrangell Democrat, and Representative John Longworth, Petersburg Re publican. They had been socked in by bad flying weather. Both were sworn in shortly after the noon recess
 Otherwise the third day of the session was quiet, at least in terms of legislative output No new bills were introduced in either branch. But a resolution commenting the stand taken by Governor Egan against the licens- ing of fish traps was introduced in the Senate Tuesday.
