Chamber Voles to
Continue Taku
Road Promotion
The Juneau Chamber of Com
merce voted to have Jerry McKin
ley and ibis road committee con
tinue promotion of proposed Taku
road project This action was taken
at a wrJJ-attended meeting of the
ChambeiCBt the Baranof Hotel this
noon. £
L. A Colby, of Missoula, Mont.,
president of the Pacific Northwest
Trade Association, ’ gave a brief
talk on the association and the ob
jectives if his Alaskan trip. He was
introduoW by D. C. Knapp, execu
tive seojetary of the association,
who has been in Juneau previously.
McKinlpy reviewed the points he
brought eut at last week s meeting
and reported cn the committee's
subsequent findings regarding the
difficulties encountered in ways
and meqns of obtaining .funds for
the Talju road project.
He said that the Alaska Road
Commission gave 100 per cent mor
al support to the proposed road but
the matter was out of its jurisdic
tion. Governor Ernest Gruening
and the road commissioners act
ively weer in lavor, McKinley said,
and li. Prank Heint/.ie-inuii, l1 -
ional forester and the Forest Ser
vice were for it and would do all
possible to aid it.
The Bureau of Public Roads, Mc
Kinley said, had Congressional ap
propriations to build and improve
other roads but the Taku road was
not included. He suggested the pos
sibility of trying to divert $3,500,000
road appropriation due to come up
in Congress shortly for Southeast
Alaska roads.
An alternate method, which would
be difficult, he said, would be an
attempt to get a special appropri
ation; from Congress for the road.
He suggested that the commit
tee be given authority to solicit
funds to carry on the promotion of
the' Taku project in order that del
egatee be able to meet with the
Honorable E. C. Carson in Vancou
ver, B. C. and prepare brochures.
Oolby brought the Juneau Cham
ber greetings irom the governors
of the four northwest states. He ex
platogd the association as a coord
inating agency for chambers of
commerce and boards of trade of
the tour states, British Columbia
and'Alaska. '
“Our object in making this rath
er extensive Alaska trip is to fam
iliarize ourselves with the prob
lems of the Territory and how we
cfen help you," Colby stated. He
expressed doubt on getting any road
aid from Congress except on pro
jects that could be tied into a de
fense angle.
He said that he had found a
wide difference of opinion on Al
aska statehood in his discussions
with Juneau citizens.
Colby touched on the trend to
ward socialization in government
some of it good and some had in
his opinion.
• Charles Carter, Fourth of July
king of Juneau, was introduced.
He presented Mrs. Lucille Johnson,
chairman of the Coronation Ball
committee; Queen Joyce Hope;
ftigcesses Mary Whitaker and Lois
Lawence. paying tribute to their
fine sportsmanship.
Other guests Included William T.
Dunn, vice president of B M. Beh
rend? Bank here, Dick Taylor of
iveiy were in favor, McKinley said,
of the Ketchikan Spruce Mill, Ket

ter for the CAA at Juneau; Wil

REDS QUESTION
AMERICAN SINCERITY
TOKYO, Friday. July 13 — WV
The Communist radio in Peiping !
said early today Korean armistice
talks were suspended because “the
Americans have arbitrarily sent in
20 newsmen in addition to the reg- I
ular delegation.”
It questioned American sincerity.
It did not mention that armed ;
Red guards turned back the press 1
party.
The broadcast, heard In Tokyo by i
the Japanese Kyodo News Agency,
quoted a Chinese correspondent of
the Red New China News Agency.
He was portrayed as having gotten
his information by interviewing
Red cease-fire delegates in Pyong
yang. the Korean Red capital.
(Without directly saying so. the
Reds thus implied that they had no
correspondents at Kaesong, the
scene of the armistice talks).
Red delegates were quoted as say- |
ing:
"Without waiting for our formal
reply, (on the correspondent ques- :
tion) the UN representatives have
arbitrarily sent in 20 newsmen in
addition to the regular delegation.
"We objected to the presence of
newsmen, and not the regular dele
gation. Therefore, we can only con
clude that it js doubtful whether the
Americans have sincerity in the
peace talks."
The radio said, "as of 3 p.m., Ju y
12 there was no indication UN rep
resentatives at the peace talks would
continue the negotiations.
The Peiping radio carried the ac
count attributed to the Pyongyang
coi respondent without adding any
comment of its own.

who will apparently fill this spot of
the Reorganization bill's Auditor.
Asked if the Territory would then
have two auditors, one at $8,000
per year and one at $10,000, Roden
and the Governor were noncom
mittal.
It was again stressed by Roden
and the Governor that Roden would
not collect the $15,000 per year
salary set up by the bill. No part
of the $220,000 appropriation under
the bill was to be used, Gruening
said. He did not say where the
money for necessary expenses to
carry out the act, such as printing,
personnel, or for travel expenses
of legislators attending. board
meetings would come from.
In the meantime, while the
"cease fire’’ order was under dis
cussion in Korea, “open fire" pre
vailed at Reorganization bill ses
sions. Combatants were due “in the ■
trenches” again this morning at 11 |
o’clock, but no big mortar fire was j
believed forthcoming during the ;
session.
Moore, over whose head most of
the smoke has gathered, was asked
what he was going to do. He said:
“At least, I’m going to draw my
salary for the period for which I
was appointed.”
Moore said he had prepared a
voucher for his pay until 1953, not
yet presented to the new board.

Local League Game
Tonight at 6:30
The second scheduled game In

is this evening at 6:30 o’clock with
the Coast Guard playing the Moose.
No games have been played as
yet. in this round. The Coast Guard

The game then scheduled for that
evening was called because of a
shortage of players.
journed this noon after a quiet
morning session. Main order of
business was passing a resolution
submitted by Territorial Treasurer
Henry Roden which provided for1
completion of the fourth and fifth
floors of the new Territorial build-.
ing.
Tne original appropriation for the '
building, because of increase in
prices since its passage by the leg-!
islature, was found to be insuffi- j
cient to construct the fourth and
fifth floors except as “skeletons."
Roden’s resolution contained an
agreement with the Alaska Employ
ment Security Commission in which
they would rent the entire fifth
door for $250,000 for 10 years. This
amount will finish both floors.
Against this rent agreement, the
Territory" will issue bonds, not to
exceed $250,000, at five per cen!
interest.
At the end of the period the
Employment Security Commission
will continue to occupy the fifth
floor, guaranteeing upkeep and
maintenance. The agency's rental
money would be from Federal
funds, returned to the Territory
from payroll payments, and are not
out of the general fund of the Ter
ritory.
Glen Franklin and William Egan
voted for the resolution after ex
plaining that they felt such a res
olution would have been approved
by the Legislature, since no general
fund money is used.
R. M. McKenzie made the motion
that the resolution be passed, sec
onded by Anita Garnick. There
were no opposing votes.
No date was set for a future
meeting nor was any further action
taken, or mention made of carry
ing out other sections of the Reor
janization bill.

A fisherman, complaining about
the heat Juneau has been having
for over a week, said that it is the
worst he has seen in this locality.
"But that isn’t' all,” he said. "In
Chatham Straits I saw a salmon
swimming with his head out of the
water and sweat streaming down
his forehead."
And an old-timer whose home
stands high above the Federal
Building complained moodily that
he held up a silk handkerchief to
see if there was any breeze.
"It didn’t wave," he mourned,
“it just wilted.”
