COUNCIL_HEARS FINAL DRAFT OF NEW TRAFFIC (0D The new Traffic Code for Ju- neau was read for the first time in its final form at the special meet- ing of the City Council in the City Hall last night. Taking the place of 12 ordinances the oldest of which was passed dur- ing the administration of Mayor Thomas Judson in 1929, the new traffic code ordinance will stream- line city traffic regulation, Mayor Waino Hendrickson said. “Traffic is a major problem in Juneau,” Mayor Hendrickson said. “The new ordinance is hoped to clarify traffic rules and help iron out the problem.” The new code consists of 11 chap- ters dealing with all phases of traffic control from licensing | through equipment to penalties The new traffic code ordinance| will not become law until it has been read and passed twice more by the council. After it is passed, it will be printed in booklet form, the council plans. But the regulations in the new code will not be enforceable until effective signs have been erected, Mayor Hendrickson said. The ordinance calling for a spe- cial election to decide whether or not certain city property would be transferred to tfie <Territory as a site for the construction of a new Territorial Building was read and| passed for the second time. The ordinance calls for an elec- tion to obtain the decision of Ju- neau voters on the proposal to grant the Arctic Brotherhood prop- erty to the Territory and sell the| City Hall property and the vacant| lot next to it to the Territory for | $60,000. | STATEHOOD FORHAWAI IS DEBATED (Continued from Page Une) Hawaii) supporters of Hawaii| statehood emphasized the tradi-| tional evolution of Territories into| states. Farrington said that the people of Hawaii feel that they were prom- ised statehood when the Islands were annexed to the union as an in- corporated Territory in 1898. He urged Congress to fulfill that| promise and make reality of the “hopes that have been nourished for two generations.” Communism Issue The issue of Communism was raised by Rep. Cox (D-Ga), who| said Hawaili is “Communist con- trolled” and dominated by Harry Bridges, the president of the CIO International Longshoremen’s union. Rep. Crawford (R-Mich) termed Cox’s argument “99 percent whiftle- Farrington said he would be the last to deny that Hawaii faces a Communist problem as well as other serious problems. But, he said, Ha-| waii should be given the autonomy of statehood so it would have the| means to settle its problems. Opposition Rep. Delaney (R-NY) opposed Hawaiiar. statehood on the grounds that it would open the door to the admission of Puerto Rico, the Vir- gin Islands, Guam, and other areas. He added that it was possible that even Canada and countries in Central and South America might| ask for admittance. CAA MAN HERE Samuel C.

The United Stat- es has broken off diplomatic rela- tions with Bulgaria.

ROTARY CLUB PLANS LIBRARY BENEFITS AT MEETING TODAY Four matters of business at the Rotary Club luncheon today in the Baranof Gold Room concerned the reading public: (1) Dr. James C. Ryan reported the current drive for $23000 of on needed to assure construction the Juneau Memorial Library. He spoke enthusiastically of the support given the campaign by all local organizations, large and small. Dr. Ryan asked members to report individual pledges obtained, so that the total can be published soon. Botih B. Frank Heintzleman, chair- { man, and B. D. Stewart, the -other committee member, are out of town. Stewart is expected back shortly, when a summary will be made. Dr. Ryan estimated that there is ap- proximately $8,000 yet to be raised. (2) Concerning sponsorship.. by Juneau and Ketchikan Rotarians of a traveling library in cooperation with the Sears Roebuck Founda- tion, Dr. Ryan said the “go ahead” has been given, and 2,000 book titles will be selected for approval. (3) Keith G. Wildes reported plans for the baskethall game ‘farch 24 when Rotary and Lions teams will tangle in a benefit event ws tne” Library fund. (4) Edward L. Keithahn was asked to make arrangements for the program of authentic Indian jances and entertainment offered by the Alaska Native Brotherhood, as a benefit affair for the Library! ‘und. Soap Box Derby Other projects received consid- erable attention. Ellis Reynolds was inspired by the spring-like weather to remind members of the 1950 Soap Box Derby, jointly sponsored with The Daily Alaska Empire. He called a meeting of the recemly‘ elected committee for Friday eve- ning in Dr. William P. Blanton’s| office. Derby committee members with Reynolds and Dr. Blanton are Henry Harmon, Don Skuse, Monty Grisham, Carson Lawrence, William Ellis and Hugh Wade. Dr. C. Earl Albrecht and I. F. Montgomery were named by Presi- dent Bob Akervick to meet with officers of the Juneau Singers to work out plans for a Rotary-spon- sored concert this season. The club previously had voted that proceeds from this event are to be divided between the Library fund and that for the community concert grand piano. Henry E. Green was appointed as “on-to-Vancouver” convention com- mitteeman. Evening Meeting June 6 Tentative plans were made for an evening meeting June 6, when Rotarians and their Rotary-anns will welcome some 75 Rotarians and their wives from Waverly, N.Y. The cruise party is scheduled to arrive late that afternoon on the Prin- cess Katl<een. Al Zenger, program chairman, introduced the entertainment fea- ture, a beautiful color motion pic- ture titled “Lumber for the Home,” which showed extensive and de- tailed lumber operations from tree to dwelling. E. K. Guerin operated the projector. Capt. W. E. Kaitner, USN, of Sea Defense, Kodiak, was the only visit- ing Rotarian. | Ted Day, front page editor of the | Juneau High School J-Bird, was introduced as the Junior Rotarian of the month. Two Lions were ong the guests —Renneth Cowan of the Ketchikan club and Max Boyer, Mt. Edge- cumbe. Another guest was B. D.

The event promises to be hysteri- cal, as the opposing teams will be members of the Juneau Rotary and Lions Clubs, respectively. At the moment, the joint committee plans five-minute periods, but | members say they are considering the suggestion of two-minute ones. “They would seem plenty long,” said one hoopster of 20 years ago. To record the event for future bewilderment, official photogra- phers have been appointed. They are Lion Joe W. Alexander and Ro- tarian J. Malcolm Greany. Two doctors will be in attend- ance, each expected to treat play- ers ‘of both teams impartially. They are Dr. Joseph O. Rude, Lion, and Dr. William P. Blanton, Rotarian. Undoubtedly, the wags will find a pretty nurse to ornament the first aid tent. At today’s Rotary Club meeting, Charles W. Carter was told to come out of his short retitement, to serve as official undertaker. Rotarian Keith G. Wildes and Lion Alva Blackerby are co-chair- men of the library benefit affair. Also on the committee, represent- ing the Rotary Club, are Stan Grummett, Henry Harmon and Monty Grisham. Impartial Citizen Jim Orme (not Lion nor Rotarian) has been asked to select an all-star team to meet Mike's Nite Owls of Douglas, for a Juneau-Douglas game that will pro- vide a cage treat for the fans and a sort of Channel championship tour- nament in miniature. TRANSFER OF CRAFTS CLEARING HOUSE TO ANICA PLANNED BY ANS Three Alaska Native Service of- ficials are meeting in Seattle this week to work out plans and pro- cedure for transferring a govern- ment store to a private organiza- tion. Meeting with L. C. Peters, man- ager of the Alaska Native Industries Cooperative Association (ANICA), the three ANS officials are plan- ing the transfer of the ANS Arts and Crafts Clearing House here to ANICA. Representing the ANS at the meéting are Reinhold Brust, assist- ant area director, Charles Mount- joy, director of native resources, and Don Burrus, manager of the Arts and Crafts Clearing House here. Joe McCaskill, member of the In- terior Department’s Arts and Crafts Board in Washington, D.C, is also attending the meeting. The store will remain in Juneau but will be a part of the cooperative association, which has headquarters in Seattle. Don C. Foster, ANS area direc- * tor, said today the transfer was made necessary by the lack of op- erating funds for the Arts and Crafts Clearing House here. It is a seif-supporting store depending for operating capital on a small service charge it makes for handling the native handiwork. “sufficient capital,” Foster said to- day. “It has had to cut down on buying during the slack season— which is the time when people need the money they would receive for their work.” | He said that under ANICA the cleartng house here would have a , bettér outlet for its goods in the States, and at the same time would have the financial backing to pur- { chase a backlog of goods during the slow season. Actual transfer of the clearing house to ANICA will probably take ‘place sometime this year, he said.
