Each ohe was sworn to secrecy: ¥ * '* After the first meeting the daily paper in the town in question gave a detailed report, even quoting the talks made by some members At that time dictaphones were unknown. It was thought some reporter might have hidden in the closet, which adjoined the meeting room. At the next meeting a guard was placed there. The paper came out with a fuller report than ever. Safety efforts were doubled for the third meeting. Of no avail. To this day only the editor knows how the ver- batim reports were secured . He has never told, as far as we know. The point is that any newspaper which wanted' i to take the trouble could find out the full details of the meeting being held in Juneau. All the committee would have had to tell the press of the things it con- sidered of security and would not want published was that it was off the record. In that case it would not be published. Then, exactly for what reason is the press barred? surth Avenue Bldg., Beattle, Wash.

COMMUNICATION Juneau, Dec. 5—To the Editor of | the Daily Alaska Empire: I have been requested by the school board to inform all those interested that every effort has been made by school authorities te make provision for a school boy safety patrol to operate at school crossings near the various school buildings. It was found that the staggered times at which school begins and ends for the various grade and high school students would involve up to as many as 12 students at one time entering, leaving and re-entering classes at nine different times ail through the day. | This would create a very undesir- | able situation for teacheds conduct- ing classes as well as for pupils who are preparing assignments or in class recitation. Consequently, it was the decision of the School Board and Superin- tendent that the school would bej unable to enter into a school boy safety patrol program. Signed, STERLING S.
