Biggar with keys to the City of Juneau. In responding to Mayor Lucas’ introduction, Mayor LaGuardia thanked Mayor Lucas for the key to Juneau and said that it would be impossible for him to return the favor if Mayor Lucas should visit New York as he had closed up New York permanently, and they had no keys “I have offered to change jobs with Mayor Lucas but he has good judgment and turned my offer down,” Mayor LaGuardia said. “People in Alaska are fortunate in that they do not as yet have rationing we do in the States. Sometimes we have plenty -of points’ but it does us no good be- cause there is nothing to buy with them. However, we do not mind going without things, and we will a great deal more before this war is over. “OPA has been fussing around a lot back home but I've learned more about OPA from a couple of girls who work here for OPA than I ever knew before. I suggest that we trade 'em for about 1,800 em- ployees of OPA in Washington “Your mayor was spoofing me just now when he said I would talk about local conditions for after all I've only been here a few minutes, and don't know anything about your problems. At home my main problem is to get enough for my little town to eat,” he said Mayor LaGuardia said that he was pleased to see Gov.
