The gradual upward price trend, as a result of the expanding priority list, has worried him considerably, and ithe last thing he wants is a high- cost-of-living problem. Retailers particularly have been | concerned about the upward price movement, and through their Ad- visory.Committee, have urged regu- latory action before things get out of ~hand, The Advisory Committee 1 has quietly kept Miss Elliott inform- | ed of price boosts, but nothing has | come of it. ‘World War executives, among them Bernard Baruch, have warned Roose- velt that he can’t dall with the price problem and that delay may ! lead to inflation, They have urged the imposition of blanket price con- trols on the ground that the price problem cannot be dealt with ef- fectively by piecemeal action. \ Roosevelt, however, has been leery | of taking such a drastic step.

And after arguing that he hadn’t the staff to entertain them, the ‘Admiral finally has agreed to issue the invitations. However, he is now opposed to letting the Latin American admirals see anything of the U. S. Navy except the East Coast. He is planning to take them to Washington, Norfolk and Philadelphia. He does not even propose to take them to New York, mecca of every Latin American. Furthermore, he does not plan to take the Good Neighbor admirals tc the Pacific Coast where they car Teally see the Fleet. All of which {1s a definite setback to the State De- | partment, which wanted to win reus: friends among the Latin American naval leaders, i 4 Reason for Admiral Stark’s lack of hospitality seems to be chieil, budgetary. He says the Navy has only so much money to spend for entertainment. He has no objection to the Latin Americans viewing- the Fleet on the Pacific Coast or even flying to Hawali, as is proposed. But he says it would cost too much money to take them there. And when it was proposed that | each of the Latn American admirals be given a gold cigarette case as a memento of his trip—a type of gift usual when distinguished U.

The retail trade will be good and there will be demand for novel forms of merchandise.

H. S. Graves, recognizing the birds as pets, for several years had fed the pigeons, making the contribution of the grain for their upkeep. According to announcement made by Supt. J. E. Lanz, the Juneau Public Schools were to observe Seward's Day with a holiday. E. A. Shipman, who left here for Sitka on the City of Seattle, had | established a barber shop there according to word received here. ‘Walter DeLong, former employee of the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company at Thane, was to return here from Seattle on the Princess Mary. Hubert Gilligan, who had been visiting for several months in San Francisco, was returning to his home at Thane on the Princess Mary. Krist Varn, a barber, who had been spending the winter at Seattle, returned here on the Jefferson and was again to be employed in this city. M. C. Rugg, a traveling man, left on the Jefferson for a business trip to Haines. Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Carlson and two children arrived here on the Princess Mary after spending the winter visiting in the south. Mr. Carlson was owner of the cannery at Auk Bay. Weather: Highest, 40; lowest, 37; snow.
