Juneau Paper
Juneau (-P) — Three law
suits totaling $300,000 were
filed against the Juneau Em-1
pire, daily newspaper, last]
week by Governor Ernest j
Gruening. Territorial Trea-1
surer Henry Roden and High ]
way Engineer Frank Metcalf. I
The three allege they were!
“brought into great public
disgrace and greatly injured” >
in their name and credit by a
news story printed in the ]
Sept. 25, edition of the Em. j
pire.
The story, claimed libelous,
concerned the operation of the
territory-owned Chilkoot Ferry'
101
i?nd a special bank account set
up for its operation.
Headlines over the story
were libelous, the trio charged,
and were “false, malicious
and defamatory” and con
veyed the meaning that the
“plaintiffs had corruptly con
verted money belonging to
the territory to their own use
and benefit.”
Ed Walter of Modesto, Cali
fornia left yesterday aboard
the Polaris, with Big Game

hunt and photographic expedi

LETTER to EOlTOR
Dear Editor:
Down through the years we
have all been taught that we
, are living in a democracy. But
there are times when we begin
to wonder. The first time ij
really started wondering was
after I had been in Kodiak for
awhile and realized that one
[ man had set himself up as the
' one who could tell you where
you could live. It was a good
■ idea to have a town clean up,
but I think this has been car
ried far beyond the point of
! sanitation.
< I’m sure I speak for many
other navy wives when I say
none of us came up here ex
pecting to live in castles. The
main thought in our minds
was that we would once again
ibe with our husbands. Since
we’re all adults I certainly
. think we should have the A
,merican freedom of choosing
i where we want to live,
j When I first arrived in Ko
diak, my husband and I lived
* in one room and shared the
i kitchen and bath with seven
■ other navy couples for nine
i months. I’d do it again if it
j meant being with him. Does
(anyone tell families in the lim
ited States they can’t live in
! the slums or tenant buildings?
1 I’m sure they are worse than
the places in Kodiak. So if we
the wives of service men
choose to come to overseas
bases then who has the right
to tell us where we can live.
I have always considered it a
privilege to be an American
and I hate to see our privileges
as Americans abused. Are
there any others who agree
with me?
