PAGE TWO SNOW SHIPPED TO DANISH SKIERS, VISITOR RECALLS | | Air-minded Juneau was host m-i | { | day to Milo D. Schjoll, Northwest Sales Manager for American Air- lines, who returned recently from Europe. Schjoll arrived in Juneau yes-| terday from Anchorage and Fair- | banks by Pacific Northern Air- lines. i Speaking about European travel Schjoll recalled pleasant weather he | experienced while in Denmark last | spring “That was in March,” he sald.| “Really fine weather. There was a | ski meet scheduled, and they had| to ship in snow from Oslo in N«)r-; way.” | Schijoll has replaced John Meile | as Northwest representative uf‘ American Airlines. Meile, who vis-| ited Juneau last year, is now in| Zurich, Switzerland Travel difficulties have been largely overcome in Europe, Schjoll said. [ “Travel in Germany is wide open | now,” he said. The change has| come about in the past three months.” Schjoll called attention to 60-day | excursion rates effective Oct. 1. Low | winter excursion rates to Europe| are applicable on the American | Overseas Airlines Boeing Strato- cruisers, he said. Schjoll’s next stop will be Ketch- | ikan. | | | i ITU HITS AT LOCAL CONTRACTS WHICH VIOLATE POLICY OAKLAND, Calif., Aug. 17—P—| The International Typographical| Union today hit at local contracts which violate the anti-Taft-Hartley | policy of the union. Convention delegates, 258 to 50, approved a bylaw amendment de- signed to prevent locai officers; frem being “bamboozled” by em- ployers in negotiations. Local officers, committees and members are expressly prohitited from submitting” to a union for a vote any proposed contract—writ- | ten or verbal—not previously | screened by the ITU President. SECOND PLAN OF | REGRGANIZATION | SURVIVES KILLING WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—#—| President Truman’s government re- organization plan No. 2 survived an effort to kill it in the Senate today. By a 57 to 32 vote the Senate defeated a motion that would have | blocked Mr. Truman’s preposal to shift federal job-finding and un- | employment insurance services from | the Federal Security agency to the| Labor Department. ‘The reorganization plan would have been junked cnly with at least 49 Senators—a constitutional majority— voting for the motion. | Only 32 did so. The Senate action on Plan No. 2 was an Administration victory on the heels of a defeat. Yesterday by a 60 to 32 vote the Senate killed Mr. Truman's reor- ganization Plan Ne. 1 to create a Cabinet Department of Welfare from the Federal Security Admin- istration. RESERVE BOARD PREDICTS RISE IN CONSTRUCTION WASHINGTON, Aug. 17—®—A forecast of further moderate in-| creases in construction work in| the near future came from the Fed- | eral Reserve Board today. Because construction is one of‘. the main bulwarks of business activity and employment, this tur- nished some backing for a predic- tion by Secretary of Labor Tobin that employment will go up by | 1,000,000 the rest of this year. Tobin | made the prediction at the White House yesterday. The Reserve Board, in a publi-| cation, noted contract construction was providing jobs for more than | 2,000,000 workers at mid-year. Even while activity declined sub- | stantially at the nation’s factories | and mines in the spring and early| summer, the Board report showed.‘ construction was scoring a more | than seasonal rise from its low‘ winter levels.

From of these have been long time pa- tients, some of them remaining for a number of years. Among the many cities and towns in Alaska which have sent patients are Juneau, Valdez, Kodiak, Ket- chikan, St. Paul Island, Fairbanks, Petersburg, Karlak, Teller, Point Barrow and others. terns (0D LIVERS MAY BE WORTH SAVING ik IS REPORT OF FWS iNE INCENTIVE Two Alaskans fo BILLAPPROVED, = Wed i Seattl | the 17—B— wasted by ‘WASHINGTON, Aug.
