This bit of information was given out by Terri- torial Treasurer Henry Roden in h Tuesday during the unveiling of the Treasurer announced that he and Charles W. Carter, another member of the had completed home for Alaskan Pioneer women. This proposal has been before seevral recent leg- ihe Washington ¥erry-6o-Round By DREVWEARSON (Continued from Page One) officers in Monterrey, Calif., Sept. 21. Officially the meeting was a routine review of naval problems, but Kimball sensed something special was going on. For those present included Admiral Arthur Radford, lead-off man in the Navy revolt, together with Vice Admiral Gerald F. Bogan. Therefore, Under- secretary Kimball made a brief speech, pleading with the admirals to lay their cards on the table. “If you think we're not getting a fair deal” Kimball said, “then let’s speak up. After all, I'm one of your own. I used to be assist- “mt Secretary of the Navy for A I know your problems.” Kimball told the admirals tha President Truman had ordered waste removed from the defense spending picture, and that the de- fense budget would have to be cut two billion dollars by 1951 Pioneers’ Home Committee, plans for conversion Apartments, adjacent to the Pioneers’ Home, into a Harry Truman had his share of criticism—along with his share or.more of favorable publicity—during his inherited term in the White House. His seeming ability to “take it” undoubtedly had much to do with the popular sympathy he cashed in on at the polls last November. And, more than incidentally, he w given a fair share of the newsprint during the lasl campaign, quite apart from the fact that most of the metropolitan papers opposed his election editorially. So, we don't think President Truman has any fair | eneral complaint againts the newspapers. And against L his known antipathy for certain members of the profession must be set the fact that some newspaper- | men have been very valuable to him in the past. Ac-‘ cording to our understanding, it was a newspaperman who suggested to Senator Truman that he sponsor Home ' an investigation of our war effort. It was the promi- Home | nence which his investigating committee gave him [ that really made him a national figure and a vice- presidential availabie in 1940. Of course, if he grows to despise newspapers, President Truman will only be following in the foot- steps of his predecessor—who came to fancy himself as a figure bevond the reach of the press, a delusion | which his resonant radio delivery and the urgent TOWET | amergencies of war managed to maintain to the very |jast. Harry Truman can rely upon neither. His} radio presence is not hypnotic. And, such as it is, | there’'s a peace on now.

In the| federal government as well, and in part also in New York and other states, it was these functions that | tended to lag.” Politically these trends produce a vast number of men and women, | all voters, and their close kin, who | have a vested interest in govern-| ment jobs, in the continuance of | departments and functions, in the| maintenance of payrolls—that is, in the high cost of government. The strongesy resisvance political- | ly to the implementation of the| Hoover reports, for instance, comes from organizations of government || employees who object to any reduc-i tion in the government payroll. In fact, the lobbying of such organi- zations in Washington and in state | capitals is for constant increases in government spending, especially in their particular department and agencies. Unless this trend is ar- rested, its political effect may be government by its own employees and an unending increase in tax- | es. | termission entertainment was given by Katherine Shier, Earl Cathcart, RE l‘ 20 YEARS AGO %% eme: | OCTOBER 20, 1929 by Mrs. Peacock and Staff Capt. and Mrs. Joseph Acton of Wrangell. With Capt. E. K. Tobin, in charge of Salvation Army work in Juneau, they were to attend the 8. A. Congress at Petersburg. Colonel Peacock was scheduled for a public address in the Elks' Hall, where other speakers were to be Gov. George A. Parks, Allen Shattuck and the Rev. Henry Young. After installing several new weather stations in the southern part of the district, R. C. Mize, Meteorologist in Charge of Alaska stations, returned on the Queen. Among passengers disembarking from the Queen were Capt. George W. Morgan, Miss Amy Davies, Mr. and Mrs. C. Gronseth, C. E. Naghel, George Dunham and Miss E. N. McCown. Boarding the Queen two hours later were Fred McRae, Florence B. Killiwich and Mr. and Mrs. | John Benson, going to Haines, and Mr. and Mrs. Alex Andrews and two children; Robert Wakelin and Malcolm Wilson, for Sitka. The Addington, Capt. Tony Sandvik, arrived with 3,500 pounds of halibut which sold to the Marlyn Fish Company for 12.80 and 9 cents. A large and appreciative audience applauded “Aunt Betty of Butte,” a Library play staged in Douglas, for which Mrs. E. E. Engstrom was congratulated on the direction and on her performance of a leading role. Others in the cast were Sam Devon, Rangnar Kronquist, Lily Kronquist, Elton Engstrom, Lucille Pepoon and Mrs. Hans Loken. In- Myron King and Muriel Jarman. Cecile Cashen served as prompter. Mrs. R. V. Harris made the round trip from Seattle on the steamer Queen, of which her husband was purser.

A capacity crowd was served a delicious meal which was covered dish style and which demonstrated the fact that Juneau has many very qne cooks. After the dinner, the devotions were led by the pastor, the Rev. Willis R. Booth, with Mrs. Carol Beery Davis presiding at the piano. Miss Claire Folta, in her charm- ing manner, sang “How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings.” The Rev. William Meyer, D. D, pastor of Central Presbyterian Church, Rochester, N. Y., then addressed the aud- ijence on the meaning of ‘“New Life Through Evangelism.” At the conclusion of the address, Miss Frances E. Paul delighted the group with her rendition of Top-l liff’s “Consider the Lilies.” The tables were well arranged and beautifully appointed by ladies from the Martha Society. and the World Service Circle.
