NATiunAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alasks Newspapers 1417 Pourth Avenue Bldz., Seattle, Wash. —_— GOOD HOSTS During the coming summer, the City of Juneau will be host to many thousands of visitors who will arrive here from all over the world. Some of them will come to enjoy the scenic splendors we have to offer in this area but many others will journey here because of Juneau's famous hospitality Included in the expected visitors will be thousand: of servicemen, principally members of the U. S Navy and U. S. Naval Reserve. We recognized the fact to unload several hundred unattached strange on a city of this size at one time is a considers burden This burden is not unsurmountable however. have accommodated similar visitors and have met 1 nroblems on many previous occasions. It is to be Iy that the citizens of Juneau will once again r ‘he oceasion and prove that their hospitable rep tion is more than deserved The exact details, concerning these Navy visits, have not yet been made available but it is certain 1hat there will be several of them. It is not too early to begin planning for their entertainment and other activities. It might be advisable to suggest that a central council be formed from all of Juneau’s various service clubs and organizations to care for these visitors. The job is certainly too much for any one group. On the same subject, we mustn't forget our civilian visitors. While it is not absolutely necessary to formu- late as intense a program for these people, the city <hould be prepared in some way for them., Whether or not each person takes a direct active part in the plans every citizen of Juneau should be rgady to give whatever cooperation possible to our guests. Reality—and UMT (New York Times) In many American homes 1t is customary for husband and wife to set aside an evening perhops once S | occasion George Jones, hushand, and father of four‘ growing children, running down the list- of items, | = | came to the one designated “life insurance premiums ! - | Suppose he stopped there, pondered the figure a mo-7| | ment, and addressed Mrs. Jones as follows: ' “See here, why do we have to keep up these silly | | insurance payments?

Do you realize that for this much money we | could buy a new car every four years, or could afford | to join the country club, or take that long vacation | trip we're always talking about? This way we're just \1)0\|rmg money down the drain.” Anyone of average intelligence would immediately recognize such an observation as fantastically un- realistic.. Yet this type of argument is constantly re- :currmg in public controversies where government ex- penditures are involved. Thus, only a night or two ago | a nationally known educator, debating Universal Mili- tary Training in the Town Hall Meeting of the Air, declared : “The cot would be enormous. of money cculd be used far more effectively in im- proving our national welfare, * * * Consider what we !A 'l B ’hd could do with the two billion dollars a year w’hlchi p“ Ir ay this program would cost.

Detention of the Soviet liner Rossia is a different matter. That s an official action by proper authority, taken in the ordinary routine to insure compliance with any finding a court may make in future on damage claims against the vessel. The same thing has been done in other cases. And the mere fact that the Rossia is owned by a foreign state, not private foreign individuals, is of no importance. While the vessel is engaged in ordinary commerce, it cannot be allowed any special immunities merely because it is government-owned. | In all thesc matiers we must be on our guard against hasty, ill-considered action.
