Fraternal Five Leading City League at End of
 First Half

With the Tallapoosa sending Sa- bins Clothiers into fifth place, Ju- neau's City Basketball Leagues first half race came to a close last night, with the speedy DeMolay outfit rest ing squarely on top with five straight wins. The season was conspicuous for its absence of upsets, not one un- derdog succeeding in kicking the bucket around as was the case last year.
 Highlights of the first half play included the big Krause-DeMolay squabble, in which the Concreters lost the first half championship by the famous mis-firing of timers gun. Other bright spots in the ra- ther dull hardwood season was the rejuvenated Tallapoosa quintet un- der Ensign William Peel. The sea- men not only finished in third place but introduced brand of ball en- tirely new to sailor squads In the past and the boys in blue should go still higher in the finals of the win ter schedule.
 Rumblings from the Douglas camp promise basketball fans a better sea- son after the holidays, with the Eagles presenting a new lineup. Coach Leonard Johnson says he will have Red Fox and Angus Gair for forwards, Mark Jensen at center and Claude Eriskine, Bob Bonner and Douglas Gray for guards. The reno- vation will be welcomed not only by fans but by players as well, as the first half Eagles were a bit wobbly with their wings, as records show.

What becomes of an actress after she retires?
 Can person who has devoted a good portion of her life to being gla- morous before an audience ever be- come an ordinary mortal again?
 Especially; Can the family of an actress be ever merely family or does it exist only as sort of im- promptu audience?
 And what are friends of the family to do about it?

The gasboat Yakobi, Capt. Tom Smith, reached Annex Creek last night according to a message re- ceived there. The Yakobi left Ju- neau yesterday afternoon to search for the Alaska Air Transport Patco plane flown by Sheldon Simmons which took off Wednesday for Mary Joyce's Twin Glacier Lodge with two passengers, Fred Ordway and Earl Simmons, who expected to take some commercial pictures, and which since that time has not been reported.
 Continued unfavorable flying weather is thought to be the reason for the continued absence of the plane but it was considered ad- visable to send the Yakobi to Taku to offer assistance if necessary.
 The Yakobi probably reached Taku some time this forenoon and is not expected back here before this evening or tomorrow. However, news of the plane may be dis patched some time today from the PAA radio station at Canyon Island or from Annex Creek.
 A radio message was received this afternoon by Bob Ellis, local PAA representative, from the PAA radio station at Canyon Island, which stated that the Patco plane and all passengers are safe at Mary Joyce's Twin Glacier Lodge. The plane has been unable to leave the Taku resort because of sleet and generally adverse weather condi- tionS.

 ROUND TWO
 Louis had slight reckoning over the right eye but otherwise he was not marked while Paulinos face was already flushed from the eff fleets of the negros punching. From a protective shield of arms and el- bows, Pauline moved in slowly but made few attempts to punch Louis, in the meanwhile was boxing care fully and apparently in no hurry to explode any fireworks. The negro punched both hands to Paulino's jaw after taking a light left hook to the chin. Pauline dug his left into the negro's body but took a sharp right on the head in return. The Basque shifted and tried for an opening to Joe's body but failed to connect and sank a short left to the nose at the bell It was Louiss round
 ROUND THREE
 They spared lightly in the cen ter of the ring. Louis used his left almost exclusively, paving, jabbing or hooking as he tended off Pau limos cumbersome swings. The Spaniard swung a left to Joe's body then covered his head with both arms to avoid terrific right hand counter. Louis opened a small cut over Paulino's left eye just before the round. Another round for Joe Louis.
 ROUND FOUR
 They spared in the center of the ring without any apparent at tempts to inflict serious damage. Pauline continued bo b ing and weaving and keeping his chin well protected while Louis exploited his skill and briskness with his left hand. Up against the ropes. Joe suddenly ripped a hard right hook to the head that momentarily shook the old Spaniard. Pauline covered up but a hard right to the head floored Pauline for the count of eight Pauline got up Suddenly emerging from his cautious methods of handling the situation, Louis let go and sent the Spaniard flat on his back with right to the head Pauline climbed groggily to his feet as the. time keeper counted eight Louis landed another right to Pau limos head before referee Arthur Donovan stepped in and halted the bout, with the Basque tottering de- fenseless. The end came after two minutes and 32 seconds after the opening of the fourth round.

 It was the first time Pauline had ever been knocked down or stopped.
 Louis outclassed his opponent all the way.
 It was not much of fight de- spite the fact Louis fully justified the predictions of his packers he would demolish the Spaniard's re- sistance which most heayyweights of the past decade failed to pene- trate.
 Long past his prime and no match for the slugging negro, Pauline put up a game but feeble resistance.
 The fight marked the return of Louis to action after lapse of nearly three months, since he knocked out Max Baer.

City Politics Reflects Your
Interest In 1t

The vice and crime Of the big city are forever
making headlines. Sometimes the seamy underside
becomes visible as it did in Detroit, where a New
YORK lawyer went out on a seemingly harmless party
and got murdered by his fun loving acquaintance
Sometimes We see 1t as We did recently in st. Paul
where revelations OF graft and corruption brought about
. cleanup in the police department.
Under 1t all there Is the old problem-how to oper-
ate a city in such a way that the underworld can be
kept under and the government itself can be made
relatively efficient and honest.
A reporter recently asked Gen. smedley Butler
about this. General Butler served for q time as head
Of Philadelphia's police department. and finally quit
because he found things a little bit too odorous for
IN honest fighting man.
And when the reporter asked hin how a big city
could be cleaned UP. the general replied with a ques-
ton OF his own:
DO you know OF a single big city that really wants
10 be cleaned up2"
That's q question worth thinking about twice. It
Is a little harder to answer than It seems to be on
the surface: and It points to an oftenforgotten truth,
namely. that the ordinary city gets Just about the
kind Of government that its citizens deserve.
Which is Just another way OF saying that you don't
reap figs from thistles. II you complacently put up
with a predatory political machine in your town. you
are going TO get the kind Of government such a
machine can be expected TO provide. II you fail to
interest yourself In civic affairs and forget to vote.
you have no kick coming about the way your city is
to run; II you DO vote but vote thoughtlessly. accord
ing TO habit or prejudice. without demanding that the
people you elect measure up to high standards. the
same Is true.
Put II another way. A city government that Is
amenable 70 pressure In one way IS amenable to 1t In
q great many ways.
II you can get q zoning law OF a health regulation
relaxed to suit your convenience by seeing the right
person. someone with much more sinister aims Is
going to be able to exert the same kind Of influence
for more vicious ends. II you can get your council
man to fix a traffic ticket. someone else can get a
councilman 70 permit him to run a vice den. II you
persist in patronizing a night club that disregards the
Sunday closing laws. you can depend on it that your
money is paying to corrupt someone who ought to be
enforcing those laws.
You can carry that argument al the way down the
fne. IN the long run, you and your fellow citizens
get the sort Of government you ask for. General
Buffers question is not so easy to answer as it may
seem at first glance.
