THE ARMY'S LOBBY At a closed meeting of the House ! Expenditures Committee the other hat McGrath should issue day, Ohio’s Congressman Clarence Brown, a power in Republican 11:15 that circles, erupted with indignation. | he militar put over a he exploded, “has colossal propaganda program on the American people, and, caused some people to get unduly excited over universal' mili- tary training." | He wrged his colleagues to back | up a subcommittee report by Con- gressman Forrest Harness, Indiana Republican, condemning - the Ar- my’s propaganda activities. | Obviously, charged Brown, milita people are high- pressuring universal military train- ing in or to keep iaeir jobs. It is not the proper approach to pre- paredness, and they know it. So that they can hang on to their ower and authority, they are will- ing to have the Government pay for false military security.” Massachusetts' John McCormick, Democratic whip, took issue with Brown over the necessity of mili- tary training, but kept tongue-in- cheek over the Army's lobbying. The report presented such a clear- cut case of Army lobbying that | expenditures chairman Clare Hoff- man of Michigan wanted to usurp the report from subcommittee chairman Harness and report it to the House himself. Harness, who wanted to present the report without submitting it to the full committee, got Congress- man James Wadsworth, New York Republican, to offer a motion giv- ing him that right. But Hoff- man angrily objected, and the com- , mittee-backed him up. So Heffman now will get the publicity. ACROSS 36. Feminine name 1. Abbess 37. Chief per- 5.

WATCH THIS SPACE—Your Name May Appear! | | | BERNICE JOHNSON | AN OPEN LETTER To the Family That's Going to Buy a New Phonegraph We can’t help but feel that we have a “sales talk” that you will be interested in. You undoubtelly have been planning to buy a new record plaver for a long time. You have had to wait much too long due to shortages, etc.. and may even still be under thes impression that you can’'t get immediate delivery on the radio combination that you hdve had your heart set on. We are mighty glad therefore to be able to tell you that we have that much waited-for radio, phonograph, or better vet, a radio-phono- praph combination ready for immediate delivery right now. What Style Do You Prefer Some folks want a Jarge deluxe console combination, others prefer a smali table size combination that they can move from rocm o room or may even prefer to use it in combination with any of a number of record cabinets that one of these table combinations will mateh up perfectly with. While most people want an automatic player that will enable them to put a whole program of records on the machine at one time there are others who want a single record player and be able to change their own records. In fact we have a terrific demand for the crank-wind portable phonograph that makes these “cutdoor” picnics such a success! Of course you don't have to buy a “combination” and for those who wish to buy only the phonograph we have those, too! So no matter what size or what style—whether you preféer walnut, mahogany or natural woods we have them all and we are sure that if you will drop in and browse around you will find just the set that will bring you many hours of enjdyment 5 Only Tep “Name Brands” Before You Invest — Investigate When you buy a usw phenegraph we know that one cf the most important things to lcok for is the “name” of the manufacturer. That's why at our store vou will find such top “names” as RCA VICTOR, ZENITH and EMERSON, and many others that are household names. All of these brands have been *“chosen” only fter ocur service department men have assured us that wet can back up these “names’ Way Buy from Ys? That cer we hones from us! a most important question fer you to ask and 1 that you are “wise” if you buy your squipment And here's why Our Service Engineers Of course when you do buy tion cf knewing that it is be set from us you have the satistac- lied by the finest service organiza- utheastirn Alaska. However, we know that of ets would like to know where they can obtain vice on the sets they now own. n “stung” in the you ha past by so-called radio at a loss when it comes i 1 obtain reliable service. We don't claim to be the only firm that can take care of you rvice needs, but know that we will guarantee to do your repair work on radios, phonographs and combinations at a price that only you have to Jjudge to be fair and all work MUST satisfy you or there is no charge If you have a small set that needs a ‘“check-over"—bring it in and save the house call charge. If you have a large set just call us on the phone and we probably can just it right in your own home as 90% of all sets can be put in A-1 shape that way and at a very nominal charge. For service call 206 and remember we must satisfy you and we consider our service engineers our good will ambassadors! apk Qur Phonegraph Record Depariment Offers Wide Range of Choice First of all our main business is selling PHONOGRAPH RECORDS ... In order to do a successful business in phonograph records we MUST take care of the customers who buy radios and more especially radio-phenograph combinations from 3 ‘When you buy a phonograph from us you are just “beginning” to be one of cur customers—it isn't a “one shot” sale of a single machine. In order to have your record business we must not only give you the largest stock of records to choose from but we must see that vou “stay satisfied” with the record equipment that vou bought from us. We realize that only satisfied custom- ers are going to be doing business with us week after week for years to come in our record department. We just can't expect to stay in business unless we satisfy you when you buy vour phono- graph from us. We don't have any other-lines to “fall back” on! When you buy an automobile you buy from a dealer that specializes in auto- mobiles and who gives the type of service that you really n rely on. When you kuy jewel you buy from a dealer with a reputation for honesty. That's why we feel that when you buy a radio or phonograph our best bet is to do business with the firm that must satisfy you in order to stay in business! Service Is Your Measure of Continued Satisfaction No matter what make of set you may buy, you are going to want service on it at seme time and too many people have found out in the past that the smooth-talking salesman that sold them their old set did a pretty rough job of servicing! We know— becavse we have been called in to “finish the job” that should have been taken care of in the first place by the dealer that sold the set. Of course we are glad to get a new customer and we are not'so big that we have too many customers! ~ Drop In and Get Acquainied We hope that you will make it a point to drop in our store one of these day It’s easy to find, at Second and Seward Streets. You probably go right by it several times each week. We are known as the MOST TALKED-ABOUT RECORD AND PHONO- GRAPH STORE IN JUNEAU. We won't give you any “high- pressure” sales talks but we feel that you will like our way of doing business! s A Al ALASKA MUSIC SUPPLY, Inc.
