RESIDENTS OBJECT
TOB|G GAS HOLDER
Riggs Road Home Owners At
tack PIan-CommiSSion
Considers Another Site.

A hearing on the request of the
Washington Gas Light Co. for permis-
sion to put up a 155-foot gas holder on
65-acre tract near the intersection
Of Riggs road and the B. & o. Rail-
road tracks northeast, was continued
yesterday until April 27 by the Public
Utilities Commission, after an all-day
session had resulted in a wave Of angry
protests from prospective neighborS of
the holder. Meanwhile the National
Capital Park and Planning Commis-
sion will study another site, in Terra
Gotta northeast.
The planning commission had ap-
proved the site under discussion yes
terday as "the best way out" but had
not considered the Terra Gotta site
There were signs, however, that resi-
dents of the Terra Gotta area would be
just as much opposed to the location
Of the holder in their neighborhood, and
residents Of that area disputed state
ments made that it was rundown
industrial neighborhood.
The objections to the gas holder
made yesterday were that it would
have a detrimental effect on property
values. that it would be unsightly, a
blot on the landscape" and would fill
the atmosphere with malodorous
fumes. The citizens also expressed the
fear that, while the present petition is
only for a holder, the company would
use this as an entering wedge for a
later petition to use the site for manu-
featuring gas. This the company
denied, and expressed itself willing to
be bound by the commission forever
to restrict the property to gas storage,
and not manufacture. .
Citizens associations which sent rep
resentatives to oppose the petition in
cluded Petworth, Chillum Heights;
Manor Park. Brightwood, Michigan
Park and Takoma Park, D. C.
The Catholic University of America,
the Catholic Sisters College. the
Sisters of the Good Shepherd and the
Franciscan Monastery also were record
ed as opposing it.

IBEHRENDS TELLS OF CONDITIONS
 IN STATES NOW
tContinued rom Page one)
Trade and Finance Adjust Themselves to Pres
 ent Situation

are of the opinion that prosperity is a condition that cannot be leg islated into existence. In such a matter, the public must be the captain of it's own destiny.
 Tn both trade and finance, ey- erything is valued now for what 1t actually is, instead of what it may be at some time in the near or remote future.
 Tn Chicago which is really the greatest merchandising center in the United States, I met out-of- town merchants laying in stocks as in former years. Purchases, while as numerous may not have been as heavy. Many merchants in the proees of readjustment had let their stocks run unusually low and purchases were of just suffi- cient quantity to fill in their lines and to meet needs of the immed- fate future.
 Bought Uusual Quantity
 T bought my customary amour.

of goods, giving attention, of course to the character of merchandis salea'ble here.
 "The readjustment process is causing greater difficulties in the East and in the South than on the Pacific Coast. Of the Pacific Coast the best part is the Pacific Northwest. Seattle, believe. is in better condition than any other place in the States. I attribute this to the fact that she enjoys such large percentage of Alaska trade. Seattle's commerce with Alaska is steady and lucrative for the Puget Sound metropolis.
 Hotels in Seattle are patronized better than elsewhere, and trains and steamships entering and leav- ing have more passengers"
 No Wooden Boxes
 In looking over merchandise that had just arrived from the States and that was still in the shipping packages in the store room on the third floor of his department store establishment. MT. Behrends called attention to the containers.
 Instead of wooden boxes as for merly, large and small quantities of goods are packed now in @ pliable paper pulp material, which is covered with burlap and then strapped with iron strips. The con- tainer made of wood is almost obsolete. Ths change is inimical to Alaska timeber and sawmill inter- eStS."

SILENT PERIOD FIXED NIGHTLY
 TO HELP RADIO
Signal Corps Stops Juneau Ketchikan Service
 7 to II P. M.

Improvement in radio reception in Juneau is expected to result from the four-hour silent period that will be soon established every night by the Signal Corps insofar as concerns it's service between this city and Ketchikan.
 The following notice in connec- tion with the matter has been made public by H w. Irvine, Operator in Charge of the Juneau office:
 affective March l our medium frequency transmitters stand silent from ' D. m to II p. m, local time. except for handling ships, traffic and answering distress signals. Sit ka, Haines and Skagway are closed by that time and traffic for Ket- chikan will be handled on seventy two meters or sent to Seattle on short wave. This arrangement is tentative and will be continued in force only if traffic does not suf- fer. The people can cooperate by filing traffic early"
 Requested By Club
 Establishment of the silent period is in response to a request made about a month ago by the Juneau Radio Club.
 At a meeting of the club in the City Hall last night, members, who had received intimation of the gov- ernments action, were profuse in their expressions of qualification.
 The club has completed the di- viding of the city into twelve zones. In every zone, two members will log every instance of interference.
 Will Compare Logs
 Comparison of the logs of all zones will establish what noises are limited to particular zones and what noises are general to all the zones. When this information is obtained, effective efforts can be exerted 90 eliminate many of the useless noises.
 Frank Garnick, president of the club, reminded members last night not to neglect to urge owners of receiving radio sets to join the club. He emphasized that the financial needs of the club required large membership and the payment O. membership dues.

Are Well Received

The largest number of parents and
friends who have gathered for a
school entertainment In some time
witnessed the programs given by pu-
pills at the Roosevelt and Wachter
schools Tuesday evening in their re-
spective gymnasiums.
Originality and novelty were the
keynotes of both entertainments. At
the Roosevelt school a radio theme
was used, with the students providing
the numbers for a program modelled
after those broadcast daily over q ma
ton wide network.
Among the performers was Jean
Baker, who had the part Of Alice JOY.
During one act she played three In
struments, q flute, tambourine and
castanets, at the same time. Excel
lent work also was done by Betty
Smith, who played the xylophone
bells, and by the announcer, Warren
Kraft. All numbers were amusing
take-offs on well-known radio per-
formers.
The Wachter school gymnasium was
transformed into circus tent, where
the children, dressed as circus per-
formers and animals, presented SER
les Of acts as exciting If not, as ex-
tensive as real circus nigh offer.
Among the features were q minstrel
show, speciality animal acts, clowns
sideshows and numbers by the har-
monica band.
