Friday, October 12, 1951 BEHRENDS—A JUNEAU TRADITION The story of the B. M. Behrends Company is the v of Juneau; the story of the firm and the city rew up together. In the early eighties, when B. M. Behrends ar- rived here, Juneau was in its infancy. Less than five years had passed since Dick Harris and Joe Juneau had discovered gold in Silver Bow Basin. The famous Treadwell Mine had been ih operation but | two or three years. Sitka was the capital of the young Behrends at the Sitka Trading Post. They had a great deal of confidence in the young merchant and urged him to strike out for himself in his own store, although they discouraged the location of the new store (where Bert's now stands) on the grounds that it was too far from the business center of town. But when the twenty-seven-year-old merchant op- ened the new store, the miners beat a path to its doors. Behrends outfitted and supplied the miners to thelr complete satisfaction and became the confidant of many of them and custodian of their money and | valuables. After several miners’ cabins burned, de- stroying all their contents, Behrends ordered an iron‘ safe with a combination lock — probably the first in the Territory. From this beginning, the Behrends Bank origi- nated, opening for business February 6, 1891—Alaska’s first banking house. The bank prospered as did the store and was soon recognize¢ as one of the strongest private banks ih the Northwest. Many established Juneau firms can trace their origin to Behrends financing as will many yet to come. Through the years that followed, Behrends name came to be synonymous with quality merchandise and honest dealing and the business grew with the repu- tation. The city expanded and improved — and the Behrends organization kept pace with the new and varying demands of its customers. B. M. Behrends lived to see his store change from a miners’ outfitting post to a modern depart- ment store. His passing in 1936, shortly before the | store’s golden apniversary was deeply mourned by his many friends and by the city he had helped to build. Juneau salutes the B. M. Behrends Company on their 64th consecutive year of service to the com- munity. IN APPRECIATION “You have a town of character, a town of sta- bility. We like your town, and like to come here.” That is what S. E. Stretton, District Manager of Standard Oil of California had to say about Juneau at the Chamber of Commerce meeting Thursday. He added that Alaska has been good to his com- | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA OCTOBER 12 William J. Baldwin Mrs. George Getchell Thomas L.

When a hostess and three guests are preparing to sit down The Washingfon Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Pége’One) strikes last month in key plants, including the Douglas plant at Long Beach, Calif., on September 5; Pratt and Whitney, Southington, Conn., on September 19; and Cur- tiss-Wright, Wood-Ridge, N. J.,, on September 25. In addition, strikes are brewing at Glenn Martin, Fairchild, Hagerstown, Borg-Warner, Chicago, SUSPECTED CONSPIRACY Baltimore, Md., . These strikes have the earmarks of not being entirely coincidental. The exact engine types produced by the struck plants cannot bé pub- lished, but they are so vital that aircraft production has been ser- iously ecrippled. In order to keep other plants from shutting down, the Air Force has accepted airframes without en- gines and other key parts. Mean- while, total plane production has fallen to almost half the monthly goal set by the President. The aviation industry isn't the sole source of labor trouble, how- ever. Six major work stoppages have also occurred at the $500,000,000 atomic energy plant at Paducah, Ky. Another reason for lagging de- fense production is that structural steel has been going into civilian construction instead of building de- {fense plants. Also the nation is seri- ously short of machine tools. Labor, incidentally, is reported to be burn- ed up at the new tax bill which is full of loopholes for certain taxpay- ers. With American boys dying in Korea and this country's very ex- istence threatened by Soviet atomic power, it is time for management to give up fat war profits and labor to forget its squabbles. Note—If the strikes continue, the Defense Department will ask the President to appeal in the name of patriotism for a no-strike pledge in key defense industries. AMBASSADOR BOWLES It wasn't supposed to leak out, but all Democratic Senators met around the supper table the other evening to discuss private party matters. Before the cocktalls were | downed, the supper-caucus hnd’ turned into a rally for Chester| Bowles, World War II price boss| and ex-governor of Connecticut, 1 What got their back up over | Bowles was a GOP policy announce- | ment that the Republicans would | oppose Bowles’ nomination to be‘ ambassador to India. “This is a test to see whether | the Democrats are running the| Eenate or the Republicans,” snorted Rhode Island’s vigorous B84-year- old Sen. Theodore Francis Green. “Bowles was the only governor who balanced his budget without raising taxes,” declared Senator George, with admiration. “I am go- ing to support Bowles, and I feel every Democrat should support him.” ‘Though confessing past differenc- es with the ex-OPA chief, the Georgia Senator described Bowles as “an honest, courageous, intelli- gent American.” This was echoed by Arizona’s modest Sen. Carl Hayden, who said he had always “found Chester Bowl- es to be honest and a man of great conviction. “I suppose during his term as OPA director, Bowles had scraps with every member of Congress, but he always stood his ground,” Hay- den recalled. Freshman Sen. Mike Monroney of Oklahoma described Bowles as “one of the best-informed men who has ever served in government,” and pointed out that America will be represented by a man whose ‘“so- cial convictions and political phil- " |086phy” aré particularly suited for ;| the India post. NEW DEMOCRATIC UNITY In fact, the Democrats became s0O united over Bowles that the caucus reached a new high in party har- mony. Even such political oppo- sites as Nevada's Pat McCarran and Illinols' Paul Douglas clasped hands. For two years, Douglas had block- ed McCarran's bill to pdy judges who have to travel $15 per dlem, Douglas had considered this tod high, proposed $1250 per day, but refusetl to go higher. 1 8o, taking advantage of the vety friendly spitit, McCatran brought up the question of his two-year-old bill and twitted Douglas for holding it up. “I ean’t imagine that the Sen- ator from Illinois wants to hold up the judiciary for $2.50," McCarran grinned slyly. Douglas strode over to McCarraa, clasped his hand and boomed: “Pat this a love feast It's $15!" Senate Majority Leader McFar- land urged the Democrats to help him wind up the Senate's work by October 13 or, at the latest, Oct- ober 20. Vice President Barkley agreed that “it's important for members to get back to their home constituency.” SENATOR GEORGE WARNS Recalling his days in Congress; Barkley remarked: “I found out that many things I considered great and momentous problems in the cloak- rooms of the Senate were of little impottance when I got back home.” He told how he oncé voted against a pay faisé for himself ac a mem- ber of Congress, then went home expecting to be praised for his "sell- sacrifice.” , McCarran, with a twinkle in his eye, “l bumped into an old friend,] and we leaned up against a bulld- ing on the shady side of the streek and engaged in conversation,” re- minisced the Vice President. “The subject of the pay raise came up, and I told my friend how I had voted. I expected everybody would be honoring me for my corageous action. But the first thing my friend said was, ‘you are just a fool” The Senators agreed to adjoum as fast as they could finish the “must” legislation. Then Senator got up and read a list of 10 “must” | bills. All 10 had been introduced by McCarran NOTE—Probably the most impres- sive statement of the eveniny was made by Senator George, considered | an archconservative. Pounding lhe; table, the powerful Georgiar. thun- dered: “The more I look at the | tax picture, I am convinced that we | must have strong economic ccn- | trols, both direct and indirect.

DOUGLAS NEWS WRONG NAME GIVEN In a list of names of offenders sentenced to fines in the Douglas Municipal Court, submitted by the City Clerk’s office recently, the name of Ronald John was erron- eously given as an offfnder. The records of the city hall actually show that the offender was a Peter John. The city apologizes elsewhere in this issue for their error in the report. SCOUT HOUSE CLOSED The srmy surplus building near the old Governmenit school has been closed to all activities including the use’ by the Douglas Boy 'Scouts. This action was taken by the Doug- 145 School Board, owners of the property, at a recent meeting, be- cause of recent attivities at the building. The Schbdol Board, Presi- dent Leonard Johnson, stated the property belonged to the schools and anyone using it without per- mission or demolishing the building or grounds will be prosecuted.
