WASHINGTON (AP) Em- ploye, of at lent one federal agency face the prospect of paycheck reductions before Christmas because of a congressional snarl over appropriations. Officials indicated Thursday some 1,300 employes of Action, the new agency combining the Peace Corps, VISTA and smaller volunteer programs, will receive paychecks next Tuesday minus two days' pay. They said the shortage probably will not be made up until after Christmas. The problem is that stopgap financing of the agency expired Dec. 8 and the House and Senate have been unable so far to agree on continuing legislation.

Pay for the two-week period ending Dec. 10 is due Tuesday, but there is no legal authority to pay for the last two days of the period. The Agency for International Development, which administers foreign aid, and the Office of Economic Development, which administers antipoverty programs, are in a similar bind but have not yet said paychecks will be cut.

Miller will introduce the legislation utilizing the cost estimates and other specific recommendations of the division. He noted that additional parking at the state building has been needed for some time. The senator commented that there are not even enough parking spaces for the state employes who work in the building, much less for the hundreds of Fairbanksans. who use it daily. Miller said, "With the assistance of the rest of the Fairbanks legislative delegation, I believe legislation can be passed to accomplish this necessary improvement.

Certainly the people of the Fairbanks area are entitled to better access to their state building than is now available. These additional parking spaces, which can be constructed at a modest cost, will make the state building much more convenient to the motoring public, particularly during times of cold weather."

Sixteen years ago today, in 1955, Fairbanksansdedicated the Traveler's following a public fund-raising drive, a dispute over the project, and finally construction of the facility by Walter J.Hickel.

The air pollution problem in Fairbanks is an urgent one, according to speakers at the first of a series of seminars to be held on air pollution.

The first Clean Air Seminar was held Wednesday noon at the Arctic Health Research Center on the University of Alaska campus. It was organized by Jim Kowalski, director of the Fairbanks Environmental Center, in cooperation with Dr. Jules Cohen, AHRC director. The seminars will be held each Wednesday for several weeks. "The purpose of these informal gatherings," Kowalski said, "is to make the public aware of the air pollution problems in Fairbanks and to provide a mechanism for informed public participation in the public hearings concerning the State of Alaska Air Quality Implementation Plan to be held in Fairbanks sometime at the end of January." Several concerned citizen groups attended as well as university and federal employes.

Clare Russell, Municipal Utilities System, was also present. W. MacKenzie, Fairbanks North Star Borough pollution control officer, gave the background of the Air Quality Implementation Plan, explaining local and state agencies must come up with a viable plan for meeting federal air standards within three years. "As it now stands," he said, "of the several federal standards for ambient atmospheric pollutants, Fairbanks will have a hard time meeting those for carbon monoxide and particulates." The Implementation Plan envisions several strategies for compliance with the federal standards, but public acceptance and cooperation is required. Joseph Holty, chairman of the Fairbanks North Star Pollution Control Commission, underlined the carbon monoxide problem in Fairbanks with several slides which summarized his earlier work with the Arctic Health Research Center.

Dan Sala, head of the National Weather Service Office (NOAA) in Fairbanks said Ice fog is a natural phenomenon in arctic regions and has existed in Fairbanks fora longtime. "However," he noted, "the pollution potential which now exists is the unique product of a concomitant by-products such as lead and carbon monoxide." Carbon monoxide isharmful to health because it interacts with the hemaglobin of blood and reduces the amount of oxygen usually transported by the hemaglobin to the body. Kowalski, MacKenzie, Holty, Sala, and members of the meteorological section of the Geophysical Institute of the i i of Alaska have volunteered to present talks" concerning the topics of clean air in Fairbanks to interested local' citizen groups. Bookings for this i service are available through Kowalski, 452-3312.
