STOCK MARKET
DRIFTS LOWER
IN DULL TRADE
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, May II U.N.SJ.
Stocks drifted lower in extremely
dull trading today, after making
moderate progress on the upside
through the first hour.
Volume was restricted by the
closing of British markets for the
annual Whitsuntide holiday and
a general movement to the side
lines in anticipation of a possible
Supreme Court decision on the
social security act.
Selling was initiated in the
steels. with Bethlehem, Republic,
and U. S. Steel slipping fraction
ally and youngstown about a
point. A showdown between In
dependent steel firms and the c.
I. o. is expected this week, the
latter seeking agreements similar
to the one reached with Jones and
Laughlin recently.
Motors, oils, coppers, and rails
moved lower with the steelS.
American Tobacco "B" and Rey-
nolds Tobacco "B", Standard OIL
of N, J.. and Public Service Of
N. j. dropped into new low ground
for the year.
Gains in Chrysler. General Mo
tors, American Smelling, Kenne-
colt, Atchison, N. Y. Central.
Northern Pacific, and American
Telephone were converted into
losses.
Bonds were generally lower, al
though Governments were lnoe-
pendently firm.

Cotton Goods

NEW YORK. May IT CI.N.S.).-The
cotton gray goods market was quiet.
with a small volume of sales. and lit.
tie inquiry coming in for most print
cloth and other coarse yarn construc-
lions.
Price adjustments downward in some
liens toward the end of last week failed
to induce a COVERING movement of any
proportion. while mills that refused to
make concessions were quoting only
nominal prices.
Wide print cloths in second hands,
although total quantities were not large,
met with some demand for film pur-
poses. Sheetings and carded broadcloths
were slow.
While some of the fine gray cloth corr
structions were in good demand. others
moved slowly when they moved at ell.
Interest in fancy goods for next year
appeared occasionally.

Your Income Tax

The Bureau of Internal Revenue has at its command many sources for checking up on delinquent tax payers. One of these is the in formation at source" provision of the revenue act, under which per- sons, in whatever capacity act- ing", are required to report to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue at Washington, D. C., payments to another in any calendar year of $1 ,000 or more. If the recipient is married, reports need not be made of salary or other compensation for personal services unless the pay ments aggregate $2,500 or more. If the marital status of the payee is unknown to the payor, the payee is considered single person for the purpose of filing an informa- tion return of salary or other com pensation for personal services.
 Fixed or determinable income in- cludes wages, salaries, royalties, pre- miums, rent, interest, etc. A separ- ate return of information for each employee is required of employers. The requirements are not limited to periodical payments, but a single payment must be reported.
 Corporations are required to make a separate report of dividends or distributions for each individual citizen, or resident of the United States, resident fiduciary, or resi- dent partnership any member of which is a citizen or resident, who was paid $500 or more during the calendar year 1886.
 Domestic corporations are requir- ed to make a return of information of divide nds or distributions

FROLIC DANCE
 FINE SUCCESS

Green, in honor of Old Erin and St. Patrick, who, history says, blue ticketed all the snakes in Ireland, was the outstanding color used in decorating the High School Gym for the Frolic Dance given by the members of the Juneau High School student body last night.
 A large painting placed at the rear of the orchestra and smaller pictures on the bleachers depicting landscape scenes of Ireland. Hun dreds of shamrocks tackled to the wall, covered the third side of the room and decorated booth, from which punch was served, was at the farther side of the floor.
 The dance was marked by a large student crowd that attended, and from all appearances, had a fine time.
 During the intermission, the High School trio, composed of Pat liar land, Phyllis Jenne and Margaret Harris entertained with songs.
 Talented Edith Young and Cor rine Duncan gave piano duet. Ed Atkinson played several selections on his harmonca that delighted the audience.

BANFIELD TALKS
 TO JUNIOR 6. C.
Organization Seems to Be What Counts-Inci-
 dents Cited

Norman Banfield, who spoke at the Junior Chamber of Commerce luncheon held Friday in the grade school said that 'it is often said that the minority rules and it is this organization that makes this possible"
 MT. Banfield pointed out that about 100000 organized veterans brought about enough pressure to get a $3,O00 100000 bonus, and if they had not been organized they wouldn't have had chance. An- other case given was the teachers of California who are organized and are therefore getting what the pro- fession requires.
 The speaker told the group of the detailed work in connection with the small boat harbor investigation that proved conclusively that Juneau needs a small boat harbor.
 Is Congratulated
 The club was congratulated on it's fine organization, and a winter skating pond was suggested as suit able project to work on for next year. Another project suggested was to compile list of all the organiza- tions in town to be used in con- junction with the club handbook that will be issued soon.
 Joe Kendler and Bob Murphy were initiated into the club.
 Jim Glasse received the prize for the best current event on Japan and John Bavard won the best joke award. Italy will be reported on at the next meeting.
 New Committee
 Walter Fukuyama, chairman; John Cass and Edward Wood were appointed on the program commit tee and Griffith Nordling chair man; Bob Phillips and Lester Troast were named on the subsidiary com mittee.
 It was announced that Byron Mil Ter will be presented with several students next Friday in the second club-program presentation. Bobby Scott is slated for a solo. A clarinet ensemble will also be featured.
 John Tanaka compiled the week ly current event quiz in which Ray mond Reaber, Jackie Hawkes. and Griffith Nordling received perfect scores.

WASHINGTON, June 30-Dele- gate Dimond today said he could see no reason for extending the terms of federal judges in Alaska over their present four year terms
 A bill to allow federal judges in United States possessions to serve in office 10 years was also approved by the senate yesterday and sent to the house.
 "I believe as far as Alaska is con- cerned that four-year terms are suffi- cieut but If the administration desires the extension l will not oppose the measure when 1t comes before the house.
 % -Four years is long enough for a good judge and too long for a bad one. If judge proves his worth at the end of four years he can easily be appointed again" the delegate said
 The bill originally applied only to the Canal Zone but was extended to include Alaska and other territories at the suggestion of the attorney general.
