Melvin wrote to mutual friends' awhile ago and found there would be room in Juneau for an exper- ienced hardware man. That lead him to sever his connections with the Swissvale Hardware and Heat- ing Company, where he had worked for 31 years.

Anyone who knows, knows that the clear sparkling days we do have make up for the days of fog, char- acteristic of Southeastern Alaska’s temperamental weather, and that both are more invigorating than the smog of the great steel center of America. SENATE INQUIRY ON MAC ARTHUR APPEARS ENDED WASHINGTON, June 28 —(P— The stormy Senate inquiry into the ouster of Gen. Douglas MacArthur appears ended, but debate contin- ued almost as hot as ever today over who was right — President Truman or. MacArthur. Here is an example of the sharp division in the Senate Armed Serv- ices and Foreign Relations commit- tees which conducted the 42-day investigation: Senator McMahon: “The MacAr- thur-ites have lost their case.” Senator Brewster: “The record of the hearings pretty completely de- vastates the Truman administra- tion’s case.” The indications are some of the other 24 members of the inquiry panel wili line up with McMahon, some with Brewster, while others probably will take position some- where in between. The lengthy investigation — it started May 3 — came yesterday to what most members regard as a permanent halt so far as oral testi- mony is concerned. The jpint committee will meet to- morrow or Thursday to discuss plans for reports on the investigation and to arrange for possible submission of written statements from some persons who did not testify.
