THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE VOL. LXXIL, NO. 11,065 “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” SATURDAY 1P.M. Edition JUNEAU, ALASKA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1948 M EMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS — PRICE TEN CENTS New York Grand Jury Takes Up Spy Case COUNCIL SETS JAN. 11 FOR BOND ISSUE City Fathers Authorize Boat Harbor Wiring, Liquor Licenses To all qualified voters in the City of Juneau: Mark your calendars for Tuesday, January 11, 1949, You have a date with a oallot. At last night's special session of ! the Juneau City Council, the city| fathers took action on a matter they have had under careful con-| sideration for some time, and vot- ed to hold a special bond election for additional street paving. You Juneau citizens will decide | whether you want the comprehen-i sive program or not. The vote was unanimous on a resolution ordering a special elec- tion “ . . . to incur a bonded in-| debtedness not exceeding the sum of $260,000 . . . to be used for addi-' tional street and sewer repairs and improvements, and for additional| surfacing and resurfacing of sueets and sidewalks . . . " The Empire will publish the‘ map the Council asked Engineer James L. McNamara to prepare.{ This will show present and propos-; ed paving which, to quote one! Council member, “will make Juneau a first-class city.” ! Sixty-five per cent of the vote! cast is needed to pass the special| bond issue. Boat Harber Wiring Disposition also was made of the other two matters for which last night’s special session was called: The wiring of the Small Boat Har- kor and 37 applicetions for 1949 liquor licenses, Council members were unanimous in their feeling that, to serve the important fleet of small craft us-| ing Juneau ties, arrangements should be for the wiring of the master at and five finger floats in the Small Boat Harbor. “And we want a first class job, one that can be expanded to meet future needs,” insisted a conserva-| tive Councilman. The others nod- cded in agreement. At the December 3 meeting and during the week, Council members have considered recommendations for specific types of equipment and approximafe costs. At last week's meeting, it was estimated that; the wiring would cost between $5,000 and $6,000. There was some discussion, but, no disagreement, about the kind | and extent of equipment which would best serve the fishing fleet. | Jack Manery, representing the| Trollers' Union, was present and| gave his opinions on a number of matters. He pointed out that, at No. 1 Float yesterday, 28 big boats| were tied up; that more than 300 boats regularly make use of the Small Boat Harbor. “The average troll boat,” said Manery, “represents an investment of from $5,000 or $6,000 to $25,000} —the owners are not going to kick about a $15 service charge. Our trollers would like to have that} wiring.” He added, “If there is no heat, hoarfrost gathers and everything gets damp. As it is, the owners know better, but they go on leaving kerosene pots and such, to pro- tect their boats.

OFFICIAL IS TESTIFYING |Several Wifi;ses Appear to Take Stand-Commit- tee Yields Stage L NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—(P—Wil- liam W. Pigman, of Appleton, Wig., former U. S. Bureau of Standards official, appeared today to testify before the espionage-probing federal grand jury. He arrived at the Federal Buld- ing shortly before the jurors began an unusual Saturday session. Pigman, one of several former gov- ernment officials subpoenaed, said yesterday whi2 on his way here he would “cooperate” in the inquiry. Other principals in the investiga-~ tion, including one-time State De- partment official Alger ,Hiss, were on hand for today's special session, which causeq the House Un-Ameri- can Activities Committee to cancel a scheduled hearing. Both Hiss and Pigman, along with Henry J. Wadleigh, another former State Department man, have been accused in testimony before the | House Committee of carryinz U. S. secrets to Communist agents. For a while, it appeared as if an outright tug-of-war for w.tnesses between Ithe House Committee and the grand ;]ury was developing over the week- end, but the Congressions! probers (vielded the stage. They originally had subpoenaed Hiss, and his trother, Donald, also once emyioyed in the State Depart- {ment, for appearances in Washing- ton today. Pigman also was under a committee summons. But, after learning that the grand jury wanted the Hiss brothers to rema’n here for more questioning, Rep. Karl Mundt (R-SD), acting |committee chairman, called off the | committtee meeting.
