JUNEAU MARKS
 MEMORIAL DAY
 WITH CEREMONY
Legion Services Highlight of Holiday Observance
 Baseball This Afternoon

Juneau observed Memorial Day with impressive ceremonies con- ducted by the American Legion this morning in the Elks' Hall at tended by representative gather ing of men and women. While business paused in keeping with the day, the Legion and Spanish War veterans led in paying tribute to those who sacrificed their lives that the nation might carry on.
 In a forceful address, George O. Penny, Welfare Supervisor of the Indian Bureau and prominent Le- gionnaire, recounted briefly the his tory of the nation since those sol- diers of 1776 spilled their blood that their flag should remain unsullied.
 The history of the nation is writ ten in blood of those who died for their country, he said, and it is by way of keeping the faith with them that the nation pauses today in sol- emn tribute.
 The American Legion and all vet eran organizations, he declared, are through experience unalterably op- posed to war, but they know that only through adequate defense can peace be assured.
 Afford John Bradford Post Com mander William o. Johnson was in charge of the services and the pro- gram included selections by a quar- tette made up of O.

 STEEL STRIKE
 RIOT, CHICAGO
88 Others, Including B Policemen Tn Hospitals
 Following Outbreak
TRUCE CALLED AS
 DEATH TOLL MOUNTS
Republic Plant Is Scene of Bitter Fighting - 500
 Shots Fired Tn Melee

CHICAGO, May 31.-T'he death toll of a bloody riot in the South Chicago plant of the Republic Steel Corporation had mounted to five today, as strikers, company offic- ials and police declared temporary truce.
 Joseph Rothmand, 40, died of bullet wounds and another known victim was Earl Ranley. 40, who died of skull fracture. Three others who were slain were unidentified, and about 88 others, including B policemen, were in hospitals suffer- ing from gunshot wounds, fractur- ed skulls and broken limbs.
 Witnesses estimated that more than 500 shots were fired in the course of a vicious hand-to-h hand combat which a physician said re- sembled a virtual massacre"
 Participants, including many wo- men, used clubs, brickbats, steel bolts and sling shots in an attempt to break through police lines close to Republics plant by force.
 A police detail of 85 guarded the Republic plant this afternoon all though no further trouble was an- ticipated pending the outcome of a second conference tonight between Governor Horner, representatives of the company and strikers.
 Police estimated a thousand strik- CTS and sympathizers participated in the riot for which both sides blamed the other for starting.

Lindbergh Baby
 Is Citizen of
 U. s. and Britain

WASHINGTON, May 31.-As long as he lives, the newborn son of Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lind bergh will be regarded as a citizen of both the United States and Great Britain unless he definitely swears allegiance to one or the other.
 This is true because of his birth to American parents on British soil.
 Authorities on citizenship ques- tions said that both countries op- crate under laws recognizing that citizenship in such cases. One is known as the Jaw of blood" under which the country of origin of the parents claims their issue as citi- zens regardless of what country they may have been born in. The sec- ond is known as the law of the soil," whereby the country of birth claims newborn children as citi- zens regardless of the nationality of their parents.
 Thus under American law the
 
 youngest Lindbergh is an American citizen. Under British law he is a British subject. And this dual sta- tus is recognized by both nations.
 After reaching his majority, the new Lindbergh baby may, if he chooses, swear allegiance to either government. In. such a case he would cease to be recognized as citizen of the other country. But if he does not elect to take such a step, his dual citizenship will con- tinue all his life.
 In this status, he will be entitled to passports of both countries and to enter and leave those nations at will.
