Wash CHECKING AUTOS The Juneau City Police Department and the High- way Patrol are starting today on a checkup of auto- mobiles relative to brakes, lights, proper licenses of both drivers and cars, etc. It is a duty that should be thorough by both de- partments the driving public should give all assistance as a safety me re in trafficking Over in Anchorage, inspection by the authorities started Monday and the first day's result was given that fifty-six per cent of the cars on the roads were mechanically imperfect. This check was made and re- ported by seven men of the highway patrol detach- ment. Faulty lights and faulty brakes were reported most numerous although faulty horns, lack of rear- view mirrcrs and old tires were found in checkups. and bringing new people to the city every day, and they are tions. Many people hesitate about coming here because they cannot find a place to live. Employers, as a re- sult, are finding itedifficult to get help. In fact, it is often harder to find the accommodation than to find the help. Living quarters are at a premium and daily we hear of people living under undesirable conditions. It is almost becoming as bad as it was during the war. Lack of housing, indeed, is commencing to slow up Prince Rupert’s natural development pursuant to the new industrial activity. If the situation is allowed to continue, it will have an increasingly adverse effect. The housing problem is one that could well re- the attention of such organizations as city council and Chamber of Commerce if they did nothing than endeavor to interest the proper authorities in doing something about the serious situation here. ceive else Americans Still Km»w Value of a Nest-Egg (Seattle Times) A survey of family savings, recently conducted for the Federal Reserve Board, shows that the good old American habit of providing for a possible rainy day still prevails. The survey iound seven of every 10 families had liquid assets. The term “liquid assets,” as used in this study, included only savings and checking ac- counts in banks and savings institutions, postal de- posits and government bonds. It excluded currency, stocks and corporate bonds, loan values of insurance policies and real estate equities. If such values had been: counted, the median or typical figure of $790 for family savings probably would have been hotably larger. The survey indicated relatively smaii shrinkage of savings. The median figure a year previously was $820 An interesting finding was that while the number of savings accounts Wwas lower, more families had checking accounts. Analysis of the families which reported smaller nest eggs showed half had dipped into savings for automobiles or other durable goods, nearly one-third for money to buy hemes or make home repairs. Sav- ings accounts also,were reduced as the result of ill- nesses or other emergencies, or to enable owners to { Anchorage G SHORT There are other cities experiencis age as well as Junegu.

Both men were ap- pointed by Roosevelt as liberals; both have drifted well over to the right, and both are in opposition 19 _most of FDHs sqcial fllld emn- orffic views. MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROADERS Group No. 3—The middle-of-the- roaders are led by Chief Justice Fred Vinson, who for time, since the death of and Rutledge, will now control the majority of the court. With the Chief Justice will line up popular Stanley Reed, also from Kentucky. A trifle lazy, easy to sway, and worried about ‘increased government controls and so-called “statism,” Reed has been gradually veering away from the liberals. Also voting with the Chief Jus- tice most of the time will be hard- working ex-Attornzy General Tom Clark, who partly owes his Supreme Ccurt appointment to his old iriend | Vinson. For 1t was Vinson tipped the balance in favor Clark when the President’s was undecided. Clark will be more liberal than Vinson in many cases, but most of the time he will stay with his old friend. . Though a Republican, Justice Harold Burton also lines up rather consistently with the Chief Justice. ‘Burten feels a great loyalty to President Truman, who appointed fim, and with whom he once serv- ed in_the Senate. Furthermore, Burton, a plodding lawyer who has 1o struggle to turn out even three or four opinions a year, is forced by necessity to hang on somebody coattails. And the Chief Justice’s tails are both the most respect- able and the most convenient. of DOUGLAS VS. FRANKFURTER There was a time when Douglas seriously conisdered resign- ing from the Supreme Court. Still a young man, the confining drud- gery of the court bored him With the death of Murphy and} Rutledge, however, he will probab- ly not resign—first because he will not desert his old friend Hugo Black, and second because he will not desert the liberal cause. Also Douglas gets a kick out of paiting his opposite number, Felix Frankfurter. the Supremé Court who success- fully and consistently gets under Frankfurter's skin, Douglas almost makes him frantic. A Scotsman of few words, Doug- Jas will sit listening attentively to ia long and involved legal XpOsi- ition by the ex-Harvard professor. Then suddenly, just as Frankfurter 'reaches his climax, Douglas will intervene with: “Now you don’t really mean so-and-so, do you, Fe- 1x?” ‘Those who sit any other member of the court, the chief reasons being the needling of Bill Douglas and the lack of young peopl“s company in Washingten. ‘At Harvard, Frankfurter AGE The Prince Rupert Daily News says: Housing is again becoming one of Prince” Rupert’s Industrial develnpmmn is is the dominant | the first: Murphy ! “ho| mind | ing, ‘me clerk could drop in to see him Bill § The only member of | in on Supreme, Court conferences say Frankfurter /s much more likely to resign than! as con-' purchase consumer goods in instances where familv ng housing short- caption “Housing mioht, by stantly surrounded adoring | | youngste In the aggregate, however, " typical family making good use of its money, wlth', no idea of nbaflduninv the nest egg philosophy. income failed to match up to current demands.

One morning, | as law clerk and justices went |down to work, Frankfurter, his office door wide cpen, could be heard pleading on the phone, “Now, Stanley,” he said, cbvious- y talking to Justice Reed “You| kiow 1.donit want to influence you, but don't let fhese S. O. Bs take |you in.” | The so-called S. O. B.s were, of [ course, the court liberals, who sev- eral times did bend over backward to win the vote of Justice Reed. In the Associated Press case, for in- stance, the liberals needed one} more vote and instructed their law clerks to study all of Reed's past! opinions in order to insert some of his pet phraseology in their final ! opinion. After and exhaustive’ search, one of Reed's pet legal thecries was dug up and woven in- to the AP opinion. Reading it,| Justice Reed beamed: “If this; stays in,” he said, “I'll go along| with you.” CHIEF JUSTICE'S NEW RULE Fred Vinson, a great human be- hasn't surprised those who know him well by his drift to the right. The Chief Justice's bm‘k-‘ ground and social surroundings al- ways have been a little right-of- center. Under Roosevelt he was a faithful follower of the New { Deal left-of-center philosophy, but now he is traveling on his own. What has surprised some of his; Supreme Court colleagues, however, has been Vinson's formality. Chief Justice Stone ruled the Supreme Court with an easygoing informality junder which the most insignificant at any time. But under Fred Vinscn, Associate tJustices have found not only that hey have to make appeintments lin advance, but are asked to tell: Vinson’s secretary what they want to see the Chief Justice about. As a result, certain Justices do not call on Vinson any more. {PLANS LAID FOR NEXT YEAR'S (RUISER RACE, CAPITAL-TO-CAPITAL | next year’'s Capital-to-Capital | cruiser race at last night's meeting | jof the Juneau Yacht Club. | Several letters from owners of | ‘crmscrs entered in this year’s race { were read thanking the local yacht jclub for the cooperation received and good time wn jowners and crews.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1949, ROY KNIGHT, OLDTIMER, ENJOYS JUNEAU VISIT Knight, who first came to the Territory in 1903 as a lad of 13, is enjoying his first visit in Juneau for several years. He camé in last week from the Westward, and expects to go to Wrangell next week, with great plans for building a boat. (He likes that part of the country, for its bull pine and yellow cedar.) He plans to settle somewhere in the Hyder-Hydaburg area. Knight, most recently at Whit- tier and the north country, has| shipped offshore for most of the time since the war, making two trips to Japan, and also going to! South America. He is a diesel en-! gineer. The oldtimer loves to recall the early days, such as those of the Abbie M. Deering, “one of the fast- est , sailing schooners” of which| Kipling wrote; of his work for grim | weeks helping to clear hill streets| after the disastrous slide in Novem- | ber, 1936, at the A-J mine.
