Glover, Regional En- gineer for Alaska of the United States Forest Service since Dec- ember 1939, has accepted an offer ed transfer to the Portland, Ore- gon, ofiice of the Forest Service, it was announced today by B. Frank Heinteleman, Regional For- ester. In commentiry on the the Regional Forester said Glover formerly worked with engineering division of the Port- land office and was selected by the Chief of the Forest Service to transfer “Mr. the ‘head up our engineering activities in Alaska when military defense work w started in the Territory in 1939. He is now going back to Portland to take charge of all road construction on the National Forests of Washington and Ore- gon. His new position is excep- tionally responsible at this tir when the Forest Service is working on a huge program of mountain read building in the Paciiic North- west, especially authorized by Con- gress, for the purpose of making additional timber stands available for relieving the current lumber which is restricting the building of hemes throughout the United States “Mr. Glover has handled all of our Alaska construction work dur- ing the last eight years. He also represented the Forest Service dur- ing the war period in most of our important conferences with the Army, y and CAA on engineer- ng e ruction methods for coast- il Alaska, the trans. of Forest rvice construction equipment to war agencies, and the use of Na- tional Forest lands for diiferent kinds of military improvements. We in the Fore Service here would, much prefer to have Mr. Glover stay in Alaska to direct cur program of postwar activities on roads, trails, bridges, shelter cabins, etc, on which we hope to embark as soon as men and material come avaflable.” Mr. Glover and his wife, Ruth, have been prominently identified with social and community activi- ties in Juneau throughout their cight years of residence here, and are frequent hosts in their fine home to their large numbers of friends throughout the Territory Their son, Jack, who returned from military service about year ago, has established himself in Juneau as commercial artist He takes an active interest in the fairs of the younger crowd in city. be- a a also af- the R N > ES FOR ANNA ON BE HELD FRIDAY LAST Mrs Monde Funeral Nelson, who pa services for sed nway will be héld Friday afternoon at ek in the chapel Charles W.

Lewis contempt case. ! At the same time the Judge, T. | Alan Goldsborough, expressed the linformal opinion that anyone who violates a Federal court order is guilty of contempt of court.” On Government motion, Golds- borough ordered a 10-day exten- fon ot the restraining order which s the crux of the contempt charge. | Otherwise, it would have expired at 3pm Two of Lewis’ lawyers and one snv- 'ernment attorney told reporters that they interpreted the Judge's re- mark about “anyone’s comfort” to mean that he did not intend to send the United Mine Workers' chief to | Jall regardless of what happens. That would leave only the possibility of a fine, it Lewls #s adjudgsd in contempt. Injunction Extended In issuing a 10-day extension of his Nov. 18 injunction, Goldsborough kept alive the order which Lewis i5 aecused of ignoring. That order direots Lewls (0 Yescind Dis, contract term iantion notice to the govern- ment, Lewls’ refusal to obty the or- Ider signaled last week's walkout of 400,000 roft conl miners. Goldsborough commented often in a low vaive. He said that no one by a restraining order, re- of whether or not the Norris LaGuardia act applies in the soft coal case. ‘This act, which limits the use of injunctions in labor dis- putes. was one of the principal ar- guments advanced by Lewis law- s in their effort to have the ase dismissed. Defense Contentions When o court reconvened after AFL counsel Joseph Padway took issue with Judge Goldsborough’s contention that the contempt action was started “by the sovereign power, by soclety itself,” as the Judge de- claved at Monday's preliminary hear- ing. ‘The Union attorney contended that private operators are still running the mines under government di- rection, “This,” Padway said, “1s utilization or private mentalities in what is al- leged to be a sovereign function Padway argued that the govern- ment regarded itself only as a “tem- porary custodian’ of the coal mines, and told Lewls to bargain with the private coal operators instead of with the government. Jobn F. Sonnett, chiet government counsel, objected to what he called Padway's “misstatements of fact,” but Goldsborough permitted the AFL attorney to continue No Disobeying Order Regardless of whether or not the Norris-LaGuardia act applies in the soft coal ¢ Goldsborough said. no one can disobey a restraining or- der. “If that could be done, we would have an anarchy,” the Judge com- mented Prior to the noon recess, Joseph Padway, general counsel of the APL, appearing in a demonstration of AFL solidarity behind Lewis, disagreed with Goldsboroughs’ analysis of the law Padway told the court that Lewis' attorneys had advised the mine workers' chief that he was within bis rights in disregarding the restraining order. Jecular Remarks The Justice drew a laugh when he remarked dryly: “The cemetery is full of people who took the doctor’s advice.” Lewis' attorneys said there would have been no work stoppage “if the government had complied with the terms of the contract.” The Judge called on UMW counsel to explain why the union should not be held to its contract for the “per- iod of government possession” of the coal mines. The contract signed by Lewis with Secretary of Interior Krug last spring sets that duration on the agreement (Continued on Page Six)
