MEMORIAL DAY Tomorrow is Memorial Day, a day when thousands | will pay respect to their wartime dead, brave im-: mortals in whose honor the day was established. We | pay tribute to whom tribute is due. Memorial servicosi will be held throughout this Nation and graves will be decorated. President Truman has called on Amerjcan citi- sens to' make Memorial Day of 1948 the inspiration for “a mighty striving for peace.” Since the holiday falls on a Sunday, Mr. Truman s, its observance should be one of prayer through- out the country that permanent peace may prevail among _men i CXT TUESDAY | BOND ELECTION N 2. | be American Airways carried a total of 16,000 passengers in and out of the Juneau Airport while the Pagific | Northern Airways carrying 7,000, making a grand mml; of 23,000 or more passengers checked through the Juneau Airport. The largest number of passengers carried by Pan American in one day was on August 7 of last year when 189 people were checked through the local office. This compares favorably with the|® daily average of the Seattle airport. . Negotiations to acquire a site have been carried | ® on with the Navy Department through CAA for the past three or four years and only last month the City was granted a use permit that-made it possible to proceed with the final plans. By agreement with the Territorial Board of Road | ¢ ©ommissioners & grant of $90,000 was allocated to this | e project from the Territorial Gas Tax Fund. As its @ share the City will' provide $50,000 through the sale ¢ of revenue producing bonds subject to the approval | ® of the voters of Juneau at the special election, A tentative schedule of rental charges has been set up for the airline offices and concessions which' will provide the necessary funds for the operation of [th(- building and the retirement of the revenue bond issue. While verbal acceptance by the airlines has been received, a commitment in writing is assured, not only on r¥ntals charged but also an offer to purchase all | ® revenue honds not absorbed by local interests. {e This revenue bond issue will be self-liquidating 4 and will not obligate property owners or tax revenues . in any way | By constructing a terminal building, Juneau will | in a very favorable position to request Federal appropriations for the extension of runways and other {improvements designed to make our airport one of the finest in Alaska. | An affirmative vote by the clti;exls of Juneau next) | Tuesday will be our best insurance for the continued improvement and operation of our local airport. | BE SURE AND VOTE AND VOTE YES. ¥ We have everything to win and nothing to lose.| * Closing Ranks (Cincinnati Enquirer) Step by step, the nations of Western Europe are drawing closer together in what finally may become a highly effective political and economic union. The | first real impetus to this movement came from the Marshall Plan, which brought spokesmen for 16 coun- tries together at Paris to undertake a common re- covery effort. This was carried a long step farther at Brussels, when the representatives of Britain, France and Benelux met at the urging of Ernest Bevin to create a five-power political and economic union. Since the momentous Italian elections, the Rome Government has indicated its readiness to come into the Westen European union. And this adds enormously | = S MAY 29 George A. Parks Angelo F.

BLAMED THE CHURCHES The joint Housing Committee, it should be remembered, was ap- pointed by both branches of Con- gress to make a fair and com- prehensive report on one of the greatest economic and social prob- lems facing the nation Yet the New York press agents, after hob- nobbing with the real-estate lobby- ists, produced a windy 400-page report which blamed “representa- tives of Raman Catholic, Protestant churches and Jewish synagogues” together with community-chest people and visiting nurses for egg- ing on the demand for public hous- ing In the end, the Committee re- jected the report. Thus a consid- erable chunk of the public’s money was paid out by Senator McCarthy and Congressman Gamble for no- thing; ' But was not for far as the real-estate concerned For, although the 400-page report was refected in favor of a 40-page it nothing as lobby was .
