May Close Roads
To All Shooting
In This District
Forest Service Considering
Move Following Var
ious Complaints

AS the result of numerous COM
plants of promiscuous shooting
along roads near Juneau, the U. s
Forest Service is considering an &C.
ton to prohibit discharge of fire.
arms on all the roads in this VIC
unity, according to Assistant Re-
gional Forester Wellman Holbrook
Before action is taken an express
sion is to be asked from citizens
and organizations in the commun-
ity, the official explained, and let
tiers to various groups were being
gotten out today.
The prohibition was prompted by
complaints from berry pickers and
picnickers that persons had been
shooting so close to them along the
roads that they felt endangered,
Holbrook said
1t is unlawful to shoot game from
the highways now and the contem-
plated move is to prohibit all kinds
of shooting such a target practice.
The restriction would apply only
to the right f-way areas and would
not effect duck shooting on the
flats close to the road, the official
explained.

DEMO. SENATORS
SQUABbLE over
.GUFFEYS TALK
Anti-Court Mem b ers De
mand Campaign Chair
man Be Deposed

WASHINGTON, Aug Il. A
split in the Democratic Senatorial
ranks doomed today with the
launching of a quiet move to de-
pose Senator Joseph F. Guffey OF
Pennsylvania from the Chairman
ship of the Democratic Senatorial
Campaign Committee.
The move against Senator Cuff
fey was started by Senators who
opposed the Presidents court re-
form bill following a demand by
Guffey for the defeat of Senators
who did not support Roosevelt in
the court drive.
Opponents of the court plan
were highly indignant at Senator
Guffey's unprecedented speech in
which he called specifically for the
defeat of Senator Edward r. Burke
of Nebraska and Joseph c. OMa-
honey of wyoming.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler OF
Montana said Guffey did not write
the speech and was afraid to de
liver it on the Senate floor because
he knew he would have to yield to
answer questions"
Those involved in the move to
depose Guffey are not ready to
talk but said they would insist on
the removal of Guffey.
