Beloved Merchant Found Dead In Home After Fall Downstairs On Thursday

Ben Kraft, age 69, oldest mer- chant in Kodiak and well-known throughout the State, died Thurs day afternoon at his home here. He is said to have fallen down the steps from the second floor of his home, and was found by Charles Rush, manager of the meat depart ment at Kraft'S Supermarket.
 Mrs. Kraft, who resides in Cali fOrnia, has been summoned and is expected here Sunday. Other i'm mediate relations residing here are his brothers Emil and Abe |, sis ter, Frieda Blinn,. There are two other sisters surviving. They are Mrs. Pauline Hunt, Phoenix, Ari- zona, and Mrs. Margaret Bogen of Seattle, and son, Walter.
 The late MT. Kraft was a princi- pal Stockholder in the Bank of Ko- diak and was vice-president.
 He was member of the Kodiak Rotary Club, the Elks Lodge No. 1772, and a charter member and treasurer of the American Legion here. He received a citation last month from the vice-commander of the American Legion, BuG John son, in recognition of his 30 years of active participation in the Legion.
 Ben Kraft entered into employ ment in the store that bears his name in 1909. He observed his 5Otn year of continuous service in the store this year. The store was pur- chased by his father, in 1903, from the North American Commercial Company. That was the last year of the sea otter hunting w.Ach was the main source of revenue or the company at that time.
 The company has grown from the small store at the time of pur- chase until it now occupies almJ st two city blocks. Kraft's Superm, r ket, which Ben started, is mol ern, up4to-date grocery store com parable to most in the country. He was also owner of Kodiak Aio- tors.
 o. Kraft and Son, general me- chandiSing store, has been a falni- liar landmark in Kodiak since it's purchase. The first addition to the old store was meat market and much needed cold storage plant in 1924 This was the first cold storage plant in Kodiak.

Finley Sees
Subway as
D. T.. Need

An underground rapid transit
system-fast, attractive and
clean-is considered the city's
greatest present need, william
E. Finley, director of the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission. told the Junior Cham
Der Of Commerce yesterday.
At Burlington Hotel lunch
con, Mr.. Finley declared there
Is no dissent on that, as re-
f1ected in testimony before the
congressional committee headed
by Senator Bible, Democrat of
Nevada, inquiring into mass
transit problems. Mr.. Finley
asserted an adequate, effective,
mass transit system can really
be a wonderful thing for the
city"
More U. S. Employees
Mr.. Finley predicted the
number of Federal employees
here will be greatly increased
and that the downtown WASH
ington of tomorrow obviously
has to be a different place"
from the existing downtown.
He said he can see the
necessity of changing street
patterns, a radically different
method of solving parking
problems and a downtown in
which the pedestrian will be
given a better chance. He said
he believes the Washington
business community will de-
velop an adequate plan for re-
vamping downtown, put it
across with courage.
The director said his COM
mission will share in the down.
town effort and that "tremend-
GUS attention will be paid to
tourist downtown" so that it
will be fun to be there.
To Exceed Forecast
In 1880, Mr.. Finley said, the
number of Federal employees in
the District of Columbia will be
considerably higher than at
present and in the nearby areas
the number will be far greater
than forecast in the last three
or four years.
He said he does not think the
Federal Government will ever
abandon its rights over this
city, but said there should be
some kind of suffrage.
The Federal Government will
continue to place some of its
agencies in the suburbs, he said,
because many of them have no
reason to be in the city. He
does not fear a substantial part
Of the Government will move
out Of Washington, however.
Metro will be a wonderful
place in 10 to 20 years." Mr..
Finley told the Jaycees.

ipated in the 1860 program and
desire TO get started in conser-
vatton farming In a small way,
the ACP will pay for most of
the out-of-pocket cost for the
materials needed to carry out
the practice. The following are
examples of the cost of perform
ing ACP practices:
