It passed one revenue raising measure, the income tax bill. The six other measures passed dealt solely with legislator's pay and allied subjects. This was the net results of the 17 days of labor at a cest of nearly $42,600. Today the regular 19th session of the Territorial Legislature gets underway and there is plenty of leg- slative work to be accomplished in the next 60 days. There is no question of legality. It is now a question of get down and work and to all intents and purposes, after a size-up of the membership, the legislators are a capable class of men and women who can do just that—work for the aims for which they were pledged to do when seeking election. ' Now go to it legislators and make good, to you individually and collectively. it is up MENDE {ALL BAR Mendenhall Bar is before the public again. The City Council has a resolution which urges the Con- gress of the United States to appropriate the neces- funds, and the War Department to do the neces- r work. for the dredg of Mendenhall Bar so that the channel is rendered navigal.le to vessels of all types | , skand size: |~ Cop operating in and out of the port of Juneau. s of the resolution are to be sent to all proper officers and departments of the Federal Government, the Territorial Legislature, in fact all agencies and | persons concerned. ' | { | The opening statement of the resolution, as pre- pared by City Attorney Howard D. Stabler sets forth that Mendenhall Bar is not a bar represented by lawyers and jugdes, nor a bar over which drinks are served. Mendenhall Bar is an obstruction, a barrier, an obstacle,—more particularly, a bar to shipping in| “Southe: Alaska,—specifically, in and out of the port of Juneau Mr. Stabler then states wk bar is necessary to shipping, reasons. At the conclusion of the resolution is the follow- the dredging of the ving most excellent ing paragraph: The only time in the history of Juneau when the Mendenhall Bar was ever appreciated was when a high-grader of gold bullion, in attempting to escape in a small boat over Mendenhall Bar, with the fruits | of hi crime, was stranded on the bar and caught. | But such an incident once in 40 years is small com- fort to the fishing fleet, the mail boats, the steamers, the Coast Guard, and shipping in general in and out | of Juneau. A Fine Award (New York Times) It is appropriate that the first award of the Wricht Brothers Memorial Trophy should be made to another pioneer in the field of flicht, Dr. William Frederick Durand, now in his eighty-ninth year. Dr. Durand has been selected to receive the trophy be- cause of his “significant public service of enduring value to aviation in the United States.” Often called the dean of American engineers, | Dr. Durand deevloped basic theories for gircraft pro- | peller design, had an important hand in the establish- | ment of the National Advisory Committee for Aero- nautics and was one of its original members. He de- sioned its first wind tunnel at Langley Field and played a part in the cross-licensing agreement that has meant so much to ranid aviation progress. During the First World War he organized many schools for ground school instruction for military aviators, and in an active member of the Morrow Aircraft Board. His broad contributions to the Daniel Guegenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronantics included editorial charge of the series of monographs on acrodynimic theory which have become the ~lassi- is for teaching. Finallv, at the age of eizhty- he was called from retirement to orcanize Am- erira’s industrial effort to desien and construct jot nropulsion encines. Surely a record that richly deserves its present honor. If a college student is expvert with the pigskin, he doesn’t have to study much in order to get the eal b twn sheepskin. In these days of high prices and high taxes, the average married man is a financial wizard.

Whenever he wants to relax, he aks off to be alone with some his friends under five. Tha how Rayburn secretly celzbrated his 67th birthday earl- jer this month. Officially he was guest of honor at a row of dis- tinguished parties attended by the great and mighty—including Pres- ident Truman. But the party which of Rayburn enjoyed most was given by 13 youngsters. His hostess was four-year-old Lindakird Johnson, daughter of Texas Senator Lyndon Johnson, though her 18-month-old sister, Lucy, turned out to be the life of the party by climing on Rayburn’'s knee and trying to comb his egg- bald head. Rayburn's knees wete loaded with kids all afterncon, with his grand- nephews Tom Bartlett and Sam Rayborn Worl either two years old—claiming first priority The party hit its climax when Lindabird brought in a cake with 21 candles and a basket loaded with birthday presents. The gift that got the biggest chuckle out of Ray- burn was a quirt In Texas they are used for getting more work out of mules, and the inference was that Sam might need it to goad some Democratic mules in Con- gress. The Speaker was slow blowing however, so Sam son of Texas Con- gressman Eugene Worley, started him, blowing for Note 1—President Truman came hor Rayburn on his at a Capital lunch- eon, at a reception given by Attorney General Tom Clark, where the President presented Ray- burn with a cowhide suitcase and called him “the greatest Speaker the House ever had Rayburn retorted that President can exaggerate.” with emotion, the veteran even the Texan Then, ... dded: “Every day I thank God for e country I live in and thank od for a who is still a uman being.

After loudly anncuncing he would izht efforts to oust him, Rankin ;uddenly about-faced and issued in unctuous statement promising to ccoperate with House leaders. But the most amazing reform is the sudden calm that has settled in his vocal chords. Some time ago the Merry-Go-Round facetious- iy called Rankin “Silent John.” Now, for the first time in his life, e is living up to the pseudonym. At the Democratic caucus which fcrmally ousted Rankin from the spy-probe committee, he was quiet s a churchmouse during vespers. In fact, it was he who shut off debate by moving for swift ad- Journment. | In the past, “Silent John" would have keen yelling madly for recon- sideration, e cially reconsidera- covering all the domestic con- and allccations requested by the President. . . .
