ALASEA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION JUNEAU HASN'T FORGOTTEN OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY As has been the custom for a great many years, Juneau again is to have a Fourth of July ceiebration A group of business men in the community have banded themselves into a Citizens Committee to serve in putting over the annual affair which this year was left dangling the former system of financing was discontinued It is a fine thing to see such evidence of comi- munity pride. It would have been Very easy this year to farget the Fourth of July celebration. The Cham ber of Commerce, which in past years has financed the event, decided to discontinue the The American Legion, which had put on the annual affair in the past with the Chamber-supplied funds. wa left in the position of being ready to serve the com- munity but with no fund: But the outlook for Fourth of July celebration is now passed.

There is no doubt in our mind that the community is going to respond whole-heartedly. We of the theory, ‘and it appears to be the prevailing thought of the Citizens Committee members, that Juncau wants a Fourth of July celebration if some group will take the lead in sponsoring it. The Citizens Com- mittee has taken that responsibility. Now it is up to the cemmunity to lend its support, not only moraily but §:F Hohdes andvcents,“which, after all, is what it takes Lo put on a celebration. Some of the Citizens Committee its represen- tives will be seeing you in-the next week or so. You can give the answer to whether the Fourth of July celebration is going to be a suc to going or STRENGTH ROOSEVELT REGA G Despite a great deal of comment that President Roosevelt is losing his popularity there evidence that he is regaining his control over Con- gress and again may well rise to the strong position he enjoyed at the time of the 1936 election. As Arthur Krock, the Pulitzer prize winning political reporter of the New York Times says. it was faithful reporting to record some weeks ago that the President’s control over Congress was waning, but the situation is chang- ing rapidly and Mr. Krock, who keeps an eagle eye on things in Washington, is of the opinion that Mr Roosevelt’s star is definitely on the rise again. Here are some of his reasons: -+ To get a good idea of the delicacy of the balance as it swings back toward the Presi- dent, the story of the Truman resolution will serve. The Senate was considering the Mec- Carran bill that creates an aviation authority. As written in committee, the new commission was put on an independent footing, like the ICC, the RFGQ, the SEC, etc. The Supreme Court, in the Humphreys case, established that the President cannot remove such inde- pendent commissioners except for offenses specified in the statute of their creation Mr. McCarran’s draft named “malfeasance, neglect or inefficiency” as the sole grounds for Presidential removal of commissioners. Senator Truman's amendment permits remov- al by the President “for any cause.” As Maj ity Leader Barkley said in the debate, the Tru- man amendment covers a case when, in the is growing . ¥ President’s judgment, a commissioner was undesirable, cooperative or antagonistic.” On _the second these bases the President removed the e Mr, Humphreys, but the Supreme Cot his act was illegal be- cause the ite did not recognize such a The Senate adopted the Truman amend- ment, thus tak Presidential control of If the pro- ce is completed, the President of the United " form the opinions, should he quasi-judicial and quasi- in the government. Each mb, should a Chief Executive so « ical control. This provision was written o the House draft of the Reorgani- zatior it was eliminated by the Sen- ate before the measure went back to the House for final defeat iday the Senate reversed the trend rep- b Bill when 15 in the Reorganization the Truman amendment Since the was clearly understood, this action must be taken as proof of Mr. Roose- revived influence in that branch, as the repudiation by the House of earmarking amendments to the spending bill must similar- ly be interpreted AR But the President’sivietory on the Truman velt's amendment was a very narrow one, basically 32 to 30. It was so narrow as to explain why prophecies are dangerous that Mr. Roosevelt's control has been completely reassured. One stroke of adversity, and out the window a mere two-vote margin goes. That stroke might come in the House again if new plans mature to reconsider the Reor- ganization as are now reported. After certain White House surveys were made some days ago, the President asked, Senators Bark- ley Byrnes to make this new attemp! They were reluctant, though fully aware that it was deemed by Mr. Roosevelt essential strategy in his struggle to regain prestige Since then it is reported that the President has notified House leaders he expects the bat- tle to be fought and won where it was recently lost—in the House. If this battle is fought and won, if the Labor ndards Bill goes through in a form satisfactory to the Executive, and if the Senate fails to put strings on the President’s power of the purse in the spending bill, then Mr. Roosevelt will face the Cngressional campaigns with only the misadventure of the tax relief bill on the red ink side for this session. The revolt will have been substantially suppressed and from every stump Democratic candidates for Congress will be vaulting onto the Presi- dent's coat-tails as thrice before Such an outcome will present to the coun- and try for. the fourth time Mr. Roosevelt as the naticnal issue. Once more the election will be referendum on his personality, his methods and his policies. If the business slump persists the chances of Republican can- didates for Congress to win seats will be im- proved by the circumstance. If, as Adminis- tration cconomists hold, the spending program have produced a spurt—howevér tem- por Democratic strategists believe the Pre: t will be good for “one more victory.” Why All the Seasenal Time Los (Fairbanks News-Miner) The middle of is here, and public projects of every kind are marking time. Large mining com- panies and public enterprises have their crews in the field, and are well under way with their spring operations Public works of ev trast. Necessary appropriations are delay gress. Funds for airfields, roads, CCC works, civic projects all await the tedious progress of legislation in Washington Alaska, with only five months of open season beginning in May and closing in October, witnesses the loss of four or more weeks at the beginning of the season. It is the same from year to year. Much needed early road work would help many a private enterprise which is now held up if only funds were available or arrangements made to advance a portion of the funds which are annually available. Congressmen dealing with appropriations for new projects have little if any idea of the need of making funds available for starting works in this region at an early date in order to avoid a loss of a great portion of the season. If Congress would change its opening date to October or November, or the beginning of the fiscal year could be shifted to start three or four months earlier, the national appropriations could be made available for inaugurating Alaskan projects in sea- sonal time. Since the whole nation must mark time, even in the States, while belated works programs are held kind present a marked con- {up pending congressional action, why not some revo- lutionary shake up to make budget allowances balance with the seasons? . Why not make the money available when all nature is prepared? Why the great loss of seasonal time when it can be corrected? ale professors now say the world is twelve billion vears older than previously supposed. Maybe that is what's wrong with it toda; German authorities accuse Austrian Archduke Felix of stealing $900 worth of silverware and linen. The boy evidently made a mistake.
