Bradley, se name will always be associated with the famous 1eau gold mine. His engineering ability was strated when the death of his brother, Fred placed him in active management of the gold which was recognized as the greatest low grade ore producer in the world. The mine work was ontinued in 1944 when the low price of gold and labor costs forced suspension. But the gold and when conditions are betiered in all the mining industry the mine will pre- reopened and production resumed. Bradley last visited Juneau in 1941 and at that ade plans for increased production with opening He was public spirited. He had a most s acquainted with the men ed in the mine, the mucker as well as the He always maintained a safety first srcement in the Alaska Juneau and his staff there of personality and ¥ STATEHOOD NEWS For those who are supporting Statehood for Alaska, ome encouragement may be gleamed from the Leg- | islative Program proposed by President Truman to be put through the session of Congress opening today. Drew Pearson, in the column appearing today in The Empire, gives the predicted program made by the President. Proposal No. 11 is to grant statehood to Hawaii and Alaska. KEEPING STREETS CLEAR One hears many Juneauites complaining about the condition of the streets at the present time—well, how about you? Are you finding it possible to keep your sidewalk clear, incidentally the steps to your home or even the walk from your front door to the street? You must remember Juneau is having some snow- fall, tha thas been continuous for several weeks. The Street Department is doing the best, under the condi- tions, that is possible. It is a costly job at that. The snow plows are being employed as much as feasible to keep thoroughfares open so that in case of fire, our department may be able to make a run and prevent a disastrous blaze. Pedestrians can wade but high snow will block a fire truck. Many streets are plowed and recently snow has fallen so heavily the clearing is obliterated within a few hours. Men have been em- ployed on night shift in order to have streets open by morning for traffic but in some cases even this work has gone for naught as more snow has fallen. In our opinion the Street Department has been doing as good work as possible, so stop grumbling and make your complaint elsewhere where it might do some good. Remember very recently, our great metro- polis, New York City, experienced a heavy snow fall and it took one entire day with 12,000 men, 34 snow- plows, 12,000 large trucks and scores of scoopmobiles and other of the latest snow handling apparatus to make traffic possible. What would the big city do if it had a continued snow fall, like Juneau? Your answer is as good as anyone else’s. Stop grumbling and take it standing up, but be careful of your step, for there is ice underneath all that snow. “World planners are alarmed over the fact that the population of the world is increasing at the rate of 20,000,000 a year."--From magazine article. That's understandable. We have more people in the world now than we know what to do with. The birth rate is much higher now than in Barnum ; day.

In other words, the cost of meals, hotel sccommodations and local sight- seeing excursions either abroad or in the USA would be included in a special tourist airplane ticket. CONVINCING MULEY BOB DOUGHTON Speaker Rayburn also did some plain talking during a conference n the organization of the Ways and Means Committee with Chair- man “Muley” Bob Doughton of North Carolina. The North Caro- linian was politely, but firmly, told that his committee would have to undergo a face-lifting. A higher quota of liberal mem- bers was needed to insure favor- able consideration of Administration tax, social security, reciprocal trade and othgr measures, said Rajburn, adding he hoped Doughton his Ways and Means colleagues would keep this in mind when they filled six Democratic vacancies on the Committee. Rayburn and McCormack also made it clear that “geographical considerations” as well as a liberal philosophy, should be kept in mind in filling the vacancies. The lead- ers pointed out that, of the 10 Demccrats now on the Committee, only cne—John Dingell of Mich- igan—was from the Middle West or West. The 85-year-old Doughton s called “Muley” because of his some- times stubborn character. But, although he has been no ball of fire in supporting Administration tax and social-security legislation, the agreed to follow thé Speaker’s “suggestions.” sort Air Lines, plans to soll If a certificate is granted, con- ducted vacacions by air would be projected to most major cities in the United States, plus the Ba- hamas, Puerto Rico, Havana, Ven- ezuela, Mexico City, and the Prin- cipal cities of Canada.

It has now been just about a ear since progressive Democrats and Republicans finished hearings on a cloture rule, by which the Senate would be able to prevent that most archaic of traditions—the filibuster. | The Senate Rules Committee re- ported favorably on the anti-fili- buster bill in January 1948—after which nothing happened. The bill thered dust in the Rules Com- ee until Congress adjourned Rulvs Chairman Curley Brooks of llinois, though a Republican, did not want to bring it out. If GOP leaders had bothered nudge Brooks, he would have act- cd.
