FIVE MONTHS TO BEG*N A TRIAL
The Department of Justice is working on a three
year anti-trust suit against seventeen investment bank
ing establishments and the Investment Bankers Asso
ciation of America and the trial began last November
in New York.
A recent newspaper article says that it reached
the admission of evidence stage on the last day of
April. It seems that the time of the court was occupied
until then by the opening statements of lawyers.
We are not familiar with the facts or the activity
about which the suit is concerned. We are of the opin
ion, however, that something is needed to correct the
procedure of the courts of justice when any case con
sumes more than five months before it reaches the ad
mission of evidence stage.
ADVICE THAT WILL BE IGNORED
The policy committee of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States, which is an organization
composed of ultra-conservatives for the most part,
fears that heavy government spending will lead to
“large scale inflation.”
The committee recognized the necessity to
pour out money for defense, both at home and abroad,
if all-out war is to be avoided. It felt, however, that
non-essential government expenditures can be reduced
“if citizens will refrain from seeking government
hand-outs.” It concludes that “business should take
the lead in promoting a program of self-control.”
For once, we find ourselves in agreement with a
policy recommendation of the organization that speaks
for a large segments of the business life of the nation.
However, we doubt if many citizens will pass up any
opportunity to get government funds and we likewise
doubt that business men, if they have a chance, will
■ follow a policy of “self-control.”
Why should all loyalty be attributed to communists?
One of the pleasantest pastimes in life is making
plans to spend the money you may never get.

Jaycees Establish Annual Scholarship
GEORGE SULLIVAN, Territorial President of the Alaska Junior
Chambers of Commerce, presents the $1,000 scholarship check
to Mrs. Robert Coghill, of the Nenana Junior Chamber of Com
merce to send to the University of Alaska.
AAA AAA AAA
A new $1,000 annual scholar
ship to the University of Alaska
has been established by the Alaska
Junior Chambers of Commerce,
according to George Sullivan, of
Nenana, territorial president of
the Jaycees. This scholarship will
be awarded annually to the win
ner of the Jaycee-sponsored “I
Speak for Democracy” contest,
which is now the most popular
competition in the high schools of
Alaska.
“The Junior Chambers of Com
merce of Alaska are happy to
make this $1,000 annual scholar
ship available to the seniors of
Alaskan -high schools,” said Mr.
Sullivan. “We have arranged with
Dr. Terris Moore, president of the
University of Alaska to credit one
half of the annual award to the
winner in his freshman year and
one-half in his sophomore year.
Thus the Alaska Jaycees are pro
viding the major school funds of
an Alaska high school graduate
for two years at the University of
•
Alaska,” Sullivan explained.
Commenting on the new scholar
ship, Dr. Moore said “It is most
gratifying that the young business
men o‘f the Territory through the
Jaycee organization are fostering
good citizenship and higher educa
tion. I can think of no finer in
vestment than providing the fin
ancial incentive for a college ed
ucation. I wish to congratulate
George Sullivan and the Jaycees
of the Territory for this splendid
scholarship,” Dr. Moore stated.
Laziness Keeps Business Going
CHICAGO, (/P)—J. O. Reinecke,
an industrial engineer, is happy
people are lazy.
“If they weren’t, we’d starve,”
he said.
He’s designed such things as a
foot pedal drinking fountain,
automatic cigarette lighter and
powered orange squeezer.
“When enough people buy these
new gadgets we create to make
life easier, we just can’t help
being happy,” Reinecke said.
