The first game sf Monday night and the title goes to the squad winning two out of three scheduled games. Cage fans all over Alaska will be watching this tournament. CANDOR, AT LEAST One of the phrases used by ©O. John Rogge in his | remarks to Progressive Party members at their second national convention the other day in Chicago strikes us as somewhat singular. He told them, The Associated Press dispatch says, to recruit outsiders “to make us resnectable. It seems odd that a political party which believes in its own principles should find i WA t necessary to strive local u THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA for respectability. What constitutes respectability in | vide it? admission that the | been unrespectable. Coupled with Mr. Rogge’s denial that Communists dominate the third party, this might |lend belief that they had tried to, or still want to, and for that reason impel him to put up a cry for the respectability it needs of naivete. Your Choice of Candidates (Ketchikan News) We are about to elect members of the next Legis- | lature. | Some are Republicans and some are Democrats. | Some are pro-Gruening and some are anti-Gruening. It seems to us that it is not so much the political | tag which is attached to any candidate as it is his personal character and background as an independent | candidate who will give his best endeavors for the general benefit of Alaska, regardless of all else. Frankly we are opposed to the Gruening machine. We believe it is more interested in perpetuating itself than in advancing the best interests of Alaska. There- fore, we would be suspicious of anyone bearing the Gruening tag. Examples of the last Legislature are sufficient reasons. One of the Territorial officials, a Gruening sup- porter, told us the past week: “Gruening has great Wbility, he is smart, he could name his own berth for most any position in the Interior Department or elsewhere and does not have to stay in Alaska.” Press- ed for an answer as to why he remains, the official said that it was expected Alaska would get statehood and Gruening was ambitious to be the first Senator from Alaska. Here is another little tid-bit he let drop. “Gruen- ing Is a positive character. He does not tolerate any opposition. You must be for him or against him.” There, dear friends, is something to ponder about in your choice of candidates for the Legislature. “The American Institute of Aerological Research reports the successful development of a new and more effective method of making it rain.” In this con- nection, though, there still remains a tough problem | yet unsolved, to wit: How to tow a cloud to a drought area. | | A friend of the editor says that when he buys another new car he not only wants one with an auto- matic gear shift but one which automatically liquidates its payments every month.—(Friday Harbor Journal.) | An astronomer reports he has found a hole in the Milkky Way.

GOVERNMENT JUST SQUEAKS BY' IN CHALLENGE TEST (By Associated Press) The uneasy British Labor Gov- ernment squeaked through its first parliamentary test yesterday but it will be challenged again Monday {by the strong Conservative oppo- sition. The Laborites stayed in power by a 14-vote margin in the Westminster tally yesterday. They were challenged on steel national- ization. On Monday it will be even a more crucial test. The Conservatives, under Winston Churchill, will move an amendment to the throne speech attacking the Government's hous- ing program. This issue cuts di- rectly to the people. Conservatives feel their criticism of Labor’s hous- {ing program won votes for them in the last election. In a special election yesterday in the Moss side contituency of Manchester a Conservative candi- date won. This cut Labor’s overall parliamentary majority to a pre- cious six votes. —— Brownie's Liquor Store Phone 103 139 So. Franklin P. O.
