Regarding Bootleg Joints (Ketchikan News) The Daily News believes the time has come for |co-operation between the Federal officials and the police to keep vice in Ketchikan from getting out |of hand. Word has gone out that this is an “open town.” | An undesirable element is drifting in. Some of them are known by officers to be “bad actors” with records They should be kept moving. Rerein. Bottlegging joints seem to be on the increase.

The “proprietor” is sald to have spent $10,000 fixing up a bar, booths, with a “peep-hole” door.

Without con- curring in this, Pope handed the | President a memo regarding Italian colonies and said he would like to have his views on the subject. Truman replied that he couldn’t make any commitment, since Ital-| ian colonies were up to the United | Nations. “I'm not going to give you any | of that Dewey bull,” the President added, referring to Governor Dew- | ey’s statement to an Italo-Ameri- can group that the colonies should be returned fto Italy. Truman went on to point out that | the United States had shown its! true friendship to the Italian peo- ple by contributing one billion dol- lars a year to them ko '{ countered Pope, can we keep that up? can't do it.
