A rent control hearing is sched- uled at a regular meeting of the Juneau City Council on Nov. 17. The council is anxious to have both sides of the question presented either in person or through letters. I Rent controls will expire Decem- iber 31 unless action is taken by Marshal Sid Thompson is conduct- ing the investigation Coroner Gordon Gray said today that announcement will be made Monday if it is decided to hold an inquest. It will be impossible to get essential testimony before then, he believed. The key witnesses, under treatment in St. Ann’s Hospi- tal, still are suffering from burns and other injuries, besides severe shock. Louise (Judy) Ward, whose two sons were burned in the locked room, is being treated for serious second-degree burns of the back and arms, and first-degree face burns. She is so swathed in bandag- s that it is physically impossible for her to sign a statement yet. Burned When Fleeing She is under care in the hospital by which she is employed. Mrs, Ward is a kitchen helper at St Ann’s where she has been working a split shift, early morning and eve- ning. She was burned while fleeing from the second floor of the blazing building after trying to rescue her children. Also patients in St. Ann's are Margaret Hollingsworth, who was burned before jumping from the second floor, and Richard McRob- erts, whose feet were hurt when he jumped. HospitaliZed right after the fire, but able to leave the hospital yes- terday were Johnnie Johnston, who discovered the fire, and Stanley Bowers, who was severely burned. Children Suffocated That, mercifully, the children died “without knowing anything” is the opinion of investigating of- ficials, who believe the two boys} problems of the world, not only on a city and state level, but on a national and international level” the city council, or Congress takes | action before that time.

BE GUARDED AGAINST LOSS WASHINGTON, Nov. 10— # — The government is waging a Wwar on Alaskan wolves to protect Santa Claus’ favorite steed and a vital food source for natives—the rein- deer. It's the first organized attack, a government expert said today, on wolves and coyotes which have help- ed reduce Alaska’s once-rich herds of reindeer and caribou to the danger point in some areas. Government agents spot wolf and coyote trails from reconnaissance airplanes, and then go in on foot to place poison-filled “baits” design- ed to kill the wild raiders without harming valuable fur-bearing ani- mals. This was reported by Dr. Dorr D. REINDEER T0 | man, U. C. Nelson, Charles Bar] PNA Flies 2000 Lbs.

E Monagle. The buildings house the Northern Rooms, which has 26 rooms upstairs, and the Snake Pit, which was burn- ed out, leaving only a shell. The city valuation of the property is approximately $19,00Q and, ac- cording to Monagle, is partially cov- ered by insurance. No estimate of the amount of the loss was available. Insurance adjustors are expected here early next. TWO PAA VETS ON ALASKA TRIP SEATTLE, Nov. 10—#—Two sen- jor Pan American World Airways captains from the company’s Latin American Division left here yester- day enroute to Fairbanks on an inspection tour of the Alaska region. They are Captain George E. Snow, a veteran of 22 years with PAA, and Captain George W. Rummil, who has been with the company 16 years. The veteran pilots have been flying the transpacific military airlift dur- ing the past crucial months of the Korean war. With commercial air- lines cutting back their number of airlift flights, Snow and Rum- mil will return to their “home base” at Miami after completing their swing through Alaska. T. Q.

At the meeting of the American Cancer Society, Mrs. Hermann, who is commander for Alaska, was proud of Alaska’s contribution to the na- tional cancer fund. Alaska was fourth among 61 divisions of the ACS in percentage of donations to quota. All of the meetings of the Herald- { Tribune Forum, where the theme | this year was “Mobilizing Human | Resources for Peace,” were attended by Mrs. Hermann. Highlights of her trip included “South Pacific,” in New York, tza at Blair House with Mrs. Truman hostess to the GFWS women in at attendance at the annual meet- ing in Washington; tea at the Bri- tish Embassy where Mrs. Hermann persuaded the wife of the British | ambassador that Lord and Lady Frank should visit Alaska; the ban- quet in New York at which Mrs. Eleanor Rocsevelt was the princi- pal speaker. Of interest is the addition of a Department of Gerontolgy to the Federation of Women’s Clubs study, | Mrs. Hermann said, and told of the four “B's” of middle age: baldness, bifceals, bridges and bulges, These, she commented were less importar than these “Ins”: inertia, indolence and inactivity. | An opportunity to speak on state- hood for Alaska at a session of the General Federation of Women's Clubs was enjoyed by Mrs. Her- mann, who said that the chairman of the Federation’s legislative com- mittee, Mrs. C. D. Wright, of Wash- ington, D. C., was one of the most active proponents of statehood in the nation. In her four weeks away from Juneau, Mrs. Hermann spent time at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, vis- ited her son, “Chee” Hermann, in his second year of law school at George Washington University and her son-in-law and daughter, Mr and Mrs. Thomas Marshall, in Se-| attle. Mrs. Marshall (Barbara Hermann) is completing her stu- dies for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree at the University of Wash- ington. Mrs. Marshall received her Master's at the University of Mich- igan and has done two years work toward her Ph. D in anthropology. Mr. Marshall is in the purchasing department at Boeing's.
