MEETING DATE VOTE DEFERRED
 AGAIN BY C. C.
Miss Ruth Coffin Tells of Musical Festival Trip
 to Ketchikan

Because only a small group of members were in attendance at Bailey's Cafe, action was deferred today by the Chamber of Com merce on the proposition to change the regular meeting date from Thursday to Tuesday
 When Secretary Curtis Shattuck read the minutes of the Executive Board meeting of Tuesday, it was learned that that body had referred the proposed change to the Cham Der as a whole for decision. Act ing President Frank A. Boyle de- cided to defer action until next week because of the attendance to- day.
 Miss Ruth Coffin, Juneau High School music instructor. was the feature of the meeting as she told about accompanying ten Juneau students to the recent music festi- val at Ketchikan. Miss Collins account of the trip, of the warm reception in the First City, and of the festival itself was an interest ing story.
 Our singers did well. The Ju- neau performers combined with the Ketchikan group to present a mass ed chorus that gave a truly won- derful effect" Miss Coffin said. Both financially and musically, this first annual Southeast Alaska festi- val--part of a national scheme was a success. But more than that it was a great instigator of good will between Juneau and Ketchi- kan.
 Announcement of two business details considered by the Executive Board on Tuesday rounded out the program. First, it was announced that, after the suggestion of Charles E. Naghel, chairman of the Local Improvement committee, an inquiry should be sent to Commissioner Frank T. Bell of the Bureau of Fisheries relative to shrimp propa- gation in Juneau waters.
 The second item was the an- nouncement that radio station KINY here probably would be on the air with test programs in a few weeks. It was announced that relief" had been obtained from the Federal Communications Com mission, which body had ordered the station to meet certain require ments before beginning broadcasts here It also was announced that the station probably would broad cast on a frequency of l,200 kilo- cycles instead of 610 kilocycles.

"BARNUM WAS RIGHT"

BARN UNI WAS RhOht
 The Seattle Times of May 3 says, regarding the dime chain letter, that "Barnum was right"
 That's the opinion of federal au- thorities in Seattle in discussing the latest craze-the get-rich-quick- by sending -a-d i'm e-i nal e t { e r-to-a- friend. You are supposed to reap something like $500 in profit if everything goes as planned.
 Charles E. Caine, postoffice in spector in Seattle, grinned when asked about the chain letter propo- sition.
 Twenty years ago." he said, "it was the silk skirt chain. Suckers bit on that one just like they are biting today on the dime racket. At that time you got a nice silk skirt-maybe. That is, you got a silk skirt if you didn't break the chain. Eventually somebody landed in jail.
 Then Stockings
 "A year ago there was man prosecuted in New York for start ing the same thing in silk stock ings. Silk stockings were more in vogue than silk skirts, possibly be- cause you could see more of them. Its a sucker game as old as the proverbial pea and three shells. Now you see and now you don't. Sure, somebody wins and gets a lot of dimes, but somebody pays the dimes. It's just a sucker game for suckers.
 The only real thing about thy proposition is that it proves Bar nuns theory There's a fool born every minute"
 Just a Racket
 The dime racket" as officials term it, is a modification of the chain letter idea that has been pop ular for years.
 The United States attorney, J. Charles Dennis, said the whole get rich-quick- fora dime scheme was just a tempest in teapot" There was no doubt in his mind, however, that the drive was illegal from a lottery standpoint but his office, he said, would take no action until the postal inspectors complained.
 The general Seattle official atti- tude was pooh pooh," though the grown-ups and even school children were joining the chain gang"
 An Associated Press dispatch from Los Angeles said old and young not only had swept merrily into the get-rich-quick scheme, but that Hollywood, with it's usual flare, had raised the ante from dime to a dollar. The mail situation in one studio, the dispatch said, had be- come so acute that employees were forbidden further participation ir the scheme.
 From Spokane came the word that the dime" game was in full swing with many expectant players waiting for their take"

Compromise Proposals Be- ing Advanced President

WASHINGTON, May o. The Senate found itself deeply involved today in a legislative paradox as the white heat of the controversy beat upon the bonus issue.
 Bonus leaders who are anxious to pas the patman bill delayed the measures journey to the President while they carefully boiled the Sem ate Q determine whether they could override the veto.
 Meanwhile some other bonus leaders lent an ear to proposals for compromise and indicated they would seek such compromise if it was found they could not upset the veto of the President.
 Senate leaders are anxious to get the bill to the President for a veto believing they can sustain it.
 The President has turned thumbs down on the compromise talk which included proposals to permit him to pay the bonus through issuance of new currency or by issuance of bonds, or finance it out of the work relief funds.
