PAGE EIGHT §500 DONATED AS ANONYMOUS GIFT 10 LIBRARY FUND Library on The Juneau Memorial fund got a resounding thump its downward trek today with an- nouncement of a $500 anonymous gift by a Juneau business firm. Dr. James C. Ryan, commissioner of education and acting director of the drive, was sitting in his office and thinking about the sum of approximately $6,000 remaining to be raised before work on the| $140,000 structure can begin, when | his door opened and a gentleman | laid the big check on his desk | The education commissioner was | instructed to say “not a word about | the contributor,” for reasons nnl} explained. | Several other contributions—one | for $1,000—have been received from | anonymous givers early in the cam- | paign, shortly after the building site was obtained. This is the first in recent weeks, as the drive gets closer and closer to its goal of $0.00 Going Down The large donation brings the remaining sum to be raise d down to the neighborhood of $5,500. Dr. Ryan, not having access to the books of the library board, is un- able to know exactly how much 1\§ left on the “red” side When B. Frank Heintzleman, the drive's director, left tor Washing- ton not a month ago, the sum T€ maining was in the neighborhood | of $10,000. He left things in charge of B. D. Stewart, retired mines commissioner, who shortly atter | Heintzleman’s departure, took otl for Anchorage to attend the Fur Rendevous. While Dr. Ryan has had custody of the campaign, the drive has spurted forward with energy, with large and small sums almost noth- ering him some days. Everyone interested in the drive— and that means practically everyone in Juneau—is watching for the time when the needed money drops to the “platform” of $5,000. A $100C drop is considered & “milestone a7 seems the drive takes a mom drop when it passes such a plat- form, because the numbered figures in front of all those zeroes seem to get smaller more quickly. The acting director has taken off for Sitka, where he must spend a few days on school business. But he said as he left: “My office i: always open.” BRITISH BOMBER CRASHES; KILLS 11 LONDON, March 15—(®—Two Royal Air Force four-engined bomb- ers crashed within an hour early today, killing at least 11 men. The planes were Lincoln bombers, modernized version of the wartime Lancasters and now tae standard R.AF. bombing ships. The first crash occurred when a plane returning from a training flight overshot the runway at Hems- well RAF. station. Five crewmen were killed and the sixth was in- jured. The second crash came almost an hour later as another Lincoln bomber struck a Welsh mountain- side in the darkness. The plane crashed about 2,000 feet up on the slopes of Carnedd Llewelyn, 3,484- foot peak near Snowdown, Wales. All six men aboard were Killed.

News of the government’s modi- fied position leaked out after a pri- vate caucus of Attlee and Iabor party members. Many of them had angrily criticized their leaders, say- ing they were pandering to the race prejudices of British Commonwealth nations in Africa But both Attlee and Patrick Gor- don-Walker, his minister for Com- monwealth relations, stressed the government'’s five-year banishment order would be invoked after Ser- etse's wife has her baby.
