Paul Calls for Localized Platform Eighteen Republicans were pres- ent last evening at the Juneau Re- publican Club meeting in the City Council Chambers. The meeting was presided over by Judge H. B. LeFevre, President of the Club, and Frank Foster acted as Secretary. Other promi- | nent Juneau Republicans among those present were Judge James Wickersham, Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Shepard, former TUnited States Marshal Albert White and Wil- liam Paul Criticize AAA Several attacks were made upon the Democratic regime. R. W. Graham stated that “business is at a standstill in New York"” and| that “fhere is absolutely snothing | going on.” According to Albert White, Mr. Graham is a Republi- can organizer here from the East. Both Mr. Graham and Mr. Fos- ter criticized the AAA and declared that its activitles were adding to the disfavor with which they con- tended the farmers now view the New Deal. Mr. Graham cited the situation with regard to the pur- chase of butter from producers by the AAA, stating that many abuses had crept in, and Mr. Foster de- plored the excessive price paid by jeation from Harry McCain, Ket- chikan attorney, which = declared that a change in the Territorial administration is a vital necessity for the Territory, stating that “the present outfit is not fit to govern.” Judge Wickersham made an ap- peal for the appointment of many and large committees, saying that if they were large enough, they alone would make an audience for each others' reports. He declared that “absolutely nothing has been accomplished by the Democratic National Administration except the | appointment of a few alphabetical commissions,” stating that not enough Democrats were available to fill all these and that some Re- publicans had been run in. He said that he had no use for those Re- publicans, Oppeses National Platform Mr. Paul called out of a light nap, opposed the adoption in toto of the national platform, and fa- vored the substitution of more lo- calized issues, bringing out the point that the Indians, in whom he is most interested, have little concern with many of the national planks. Mr. Paul declared that the pres- ent Democratic administration is following the undesirable policies of the past three Republican admin- istrations. He favored the support of a Territorial industrial compen- sation act, and made an appeal for fish trap abolition. Extension of pensions to the Native population was also urged by him. He said that he would not prom- ise to support any Republican can- didate simply Republican, and that previous rec- ord would count most with che Indian vote. Committees Appointed the Government for a pound of pork, saying that the AAA in its efforts to remove the surplus has spent 35 cents per pound when it could be bought in the open mar- ket for 12 cents. Mr. White presented a commun- Several committees were appoint- ed by Judge LeFevre. Albert White, Mrs. Mildred Hermann, and C. 8.

Since that time, there have been several changes made in the rough draft proposed, most of which are attributed to suggestions received from the various cyuncu members and citizens of Juneau. Jurisdiction Still Doubtful Mayor Goldsteoin stressed the point this morning that even un- der the new ruling of the Terri- torial Liquor Board the City Mag- istrate has no real jurisdiction to try violators, and that the only thing accomplished by the ruling was a restatement of the fact al- ready understood that it ‘was the duty of all peace officers to assist in enforcement. It is the wish of the Councilmen that as many persons interested in the proposed legislation as possible be present at the special meeting, since they desire to get a good expression of public opinion before passing any ordinance which can be productive of so much dispute as a liquor ordinance. ‘They feel that if the people ap- pear for themselves before enact- ment, they can be more sure of wise, said Mayor Goldstein. Sey and H. R. Shepard. The plat- ;Iorm committee, previously ap- | pointed and consisting of Mr. Shep- lard, Mr, Foster *and Mr. White, |are to consider points brought out in the meeting and in Mr. Me- Cain’s communication, and will present a draft of the platform at the next meeting, probably July 10.

ROCKFILL WILL BE PUT IN ON FORCE ACCOUNT Bids Too High—AR.C. to Put in Douglas Bridge Fill by Day Labor The rockfill on the Tenth Street approach to the Douglas bridge will be put in by the Alaska Road Commission on force account, it was announced foday by Hawley Sterling, Chief Engineer.

It is planned to use about 15 trucks on| the job. It will be handled on the same system that was used on the Wil- loughby Avenue fill last winter. It is probable that two shifts will be worked. There are 18,000 yards of rock to be hauled. ASA SEAPLANES MAKE MANY FLIGHTS TODAY ‘The seaplane Baranof, Pilot Gene Meyring, made a trip to Weterfall this morning to pick up H. B.

Freeburn, Vice President in charge of operations of the Chichagoff Mining Com- pany, who arrived in Juneau last evening with Arthur Rust, Presi- dent of the company, aboard the latter’s yacht Electra. Mr. Rust and his party left Ju- neau last Wednesday afternoon on the 96-foot craft and Thursday morning arrived in Chichagof where Mr. Rust spent several days look- ing over the property and consult- ing with Mr, Freeburn. There have been over 35 men added to the force at the mine during the last year and at the present time a crew of 81 men is employed. Rejoins Party Mrs. Rust, who underwent an emergency operation at St. Ann’s Hospital ten days ago, rejoined the Electra this morning and it left | for the south shortly after noon. Mr .Freeburn will accompany the party as far as Ketchikan where a day's stop will be made while Mr. Rust and Mr. Freeburn look over mining property in that vic- inity in which they are interested. Mr. Freeburn will return to Chi- chagof as soon as possible while Mr. and Mrs. Rust and their guests will proceed on the yacht to Ta- coma where Mr. Rust has import- ant business awaiting his arrival.

Morgan and her aboard the Electra on the trip to Chichagof returned here on the yvacht last evening.

So-called “dictatorship” of the ilocal fishermen by the larger and !stronger groups elsewhere in Alaska land in Seattle has also led to a certain amount of resentment among Juneau fishermen.

KETCHIKAN TROLLEKRS ARE HOPEFUL THAT STRIKE SOON ENDS Trollers at Ketchikan are hope- ful that strike difficulties confront- ing that industry will be ironed fout within the next ten days or two weeks according to C. E. Mor- gan, aide to Hugh A. Wade, Deputy NRA Administrator, who returned to his headquarters here recently after having spent’ three weeks at Ketchikan. Apparently, he said, it is as Conferences that he at- indicated that fishermen were willing to accept the proposed reduced prices for the next few weeks. Buyers, however, were unable to assure them that all of their take would be purchased. They said they were instructed"by their firms | strike. in Seattle and elsewhere that only a limited quantity of fresh salmon could be purchased at this time. But they were not able to tell the fishermen what percentage of the total take they could buy. Before Mr. Morgan left he was informed that at least two Ketchikan firms engaged in buying had made an offer to purchase, and' that it was expected others would follow suit shortly. Retail codes in Ketchikan Mr. Morgan said are getting well under way. It is believed that all bue- nesses there will be operating under proper codes within a very short time. e, Before Cheese Days CHEDDAR, England.—Discovery of an axe head of crude design in one of the caves for which this cheese-making town is famous, is held by scientists to prove that people lived hereabout 3,000 years 2go. makes everyone feel better makes everything taste better —does something good for tobaccos There is Sunshine . thesetobaccos tells too ... in your Chester- field—plenty of it—the Sunshine Chesterfield tobaccos get from our own Southland, the best tobacco country in the world.
