Dewey Asked io Speak at Chamber
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York has been invited to address
the Juneau Chamber of Commerce
next week, President Herbert S.
Rowland announced today at a
regular meeting held in the Bar
anof Hotel.
Most of today's meeting was ta
ken up with reports on the pro
posed road up the Taku River
which is to eventually connect with
the Alaska Highway.
Felix Toner, local engineer who
made a flight with a Chamber
group over the area last week,
made a rough estimate that it
it would cost $5,000,000 to construct
the first 50 miles of a pilot road
from Juneau up the north side of
the river.
Glacier Crossings
He stated that detailed stud
ies of the glaeiers would have to
be made before a decision could
be reached, but that from the
air it appeared feasible to make
glacier-front crossings. This
would eliminate the idea of a
ferry from the north side to the
south side, he said.
Jerry McKinley, chairman of
the road committee, stressed the
importance of continuing efforts
to get started on the project.
Rowland said that resolutions
would be presented to forthcom-,
ing meetings of the Associated
British Columbia Boards of
Trade and the Parifie North
west Trade Association to gain
support of the project.
Source of Funds
In a discussion of a source of
funds for the road, Gov. Ernest
Gruening expressed himself “high
ly in favor” of the project but
doubted if a direct congressional
appropriation could be obtained
at this time.
f. He said that Southeastern Al
aska was the "forgotten area” in
government spending due to the
many deefnse works in western
Alaska.
Colored slides were shown of
the Taku terrain and also of the
Haines Cutoff, which has similar
geographical features.
A letter was read from Ralph
Browne, assistant general mana
ger of the Alaska Development
Board, in which he recounted his
reecnt meeting witli E. C. Carson,
minister of public works for Brit
ish Columbia, regarding the Taku
road.
A letter to Delegate E. L. Bart
lett from the Chamber was read,
making recommendations regard
ing changes in the aboriginal land
claims bill, now before congress.
Guests were: W. H. Hackett,
member of the staff of the inter
ior committee of the House of
Representatives, Washington, D.
C.; J. Lester Minner of the Alas
ka Native Service, Hydaburg;
Milford Page, regional engineer of
the U. S. Forest Service, Juneau:
and Orville Paxton of Alaska
Coastal Airlines, Sitka.

New Merchandise
At Behrends
A new and enlarged mezzanine
flcor at B. M. Behrends Company
is ready for “back to school" shop
ping and along with completion
of the new home for the girls and
infants department, Beljrends is
presenting many new lines of na
tionally advertised clothing for
school girls.
While a new and enlarged de
partment for girls is on the mez
zanine, where the store's offices
have also been moved, the boys
department will be on the first
floor in the men’s department
where “junior can do his shopping
along with Dad," Kenneth Albert
son, store manager explained.
Prices on all nationally ad
vertised merchandise are the ;
same at Behrends as anywhere i
in the country, Albertson said.
Coats for girls this year are
much like their mothers, and of
the same materials: clipped suede,
covert and chinchilla. Some new
coats have matching slacks, in
stead of ski pants, for cold weath
er wear.
Fall millinery for school girls is
special this year, too. A new idea:
detachable earmuffs.
New women’s wear is made im
portant by fabric; velvets, taffetas,
imported laces and wools. Albert
son said. A new color is wild plum.
The women’s wear have these
names: Lady Evelyn, Dorsa; Peggy
Hunt, who makes dressy cocktail
and formal frocks; Helen of Cal
ifornia; Demi, a make of casuals
and dressy afternoon things. Suits
have the label of Irving Schechter,
Lilly of California—a popular
price suit’ for office workers, tail
ored of practical fabrics and all
wool; Youthmore, Towncraft and
: Handmacher.
The new hats were purchased
with the idea of coordinating with
i dresses and suits and are by Jan
Leslie.
Buying in California for the
winter season was exciting, Al
bertson said.
“It was the biggest market the
California manufacturers have
ever presented. In San Francis
co there were more than 500
exhibitors and more buyers in
San Francisco and Los Angeles
from New York and Dallas,
Texas, than ever before.”

Housewife Charged
With Grand Larceny
For Aid by Fraud
SEATTLE, Aug. 16— ,'B—A middle
aged Seattle housewife who ad
mitted bilking the state of some
$20,000 in aid for her five children
•faced a charge of grand larceny
today. She said the fraud was con
ceived by having her husband pose
as her brother-in-law.
The charge filed yesterday against
Mrs. Gladys A. Harmon, 47, covered
only $6,067 paid her in the past three
years as aid to dependent children.
The statute of limitations restricted
the charge to that period.
Deputy Prosecutor F. A. Walters
kirchen said, however, the penitent
woman told in a signed and notar
ized statement of obtaining as high
as $265 a month over a period of
seven to nine years for her child
rens’ support.
Walterskirchen said records show
this amounted to at least $16,000 in
direct aid and $4,000 in medical
assistance.
