vent the judgeship appointees from taking the bench in the state's s minor courts July l.
 MT. Levitt, a resident of Bedding, recently called on States Attorney Hugh D. Alcorn of Hartford county to prosecute those taking part in the judgeship deal, and also demanded an investigation of the county gov ernment in Fairfield county. One of the parties to the judgeship deal was Rep. Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr., son of the prosecutor.
 The governor can act to keep the judges from sitting, says MT. Levitt, and is in duty bound to do so. He alleges that the constitution and the statute have been violated.
 MT. Levitt's letter follows: Governor Raymond E. Baldwin The Capital June 22, 1889. Hartford, Connecticut.

claimants rate was computed and he was given all payments for which he had wage credits, he may have been told not to report for further payments, if again or still uneri1- ployed, until the expiration of the next three-month period which might might be as late as next Eep- tember. With the introduction of the so-called benefit year. under the provisions of the amendments, the claimant now may receive the final payments due him at a much earlier date.
 Waiting Period
 Hartford, Conn, June B All persons now receiving unemploy- ment compensation payments will be required to serve an extra week waiting period" in July for which no benefit will be paid, State La bor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone announced today.
 This situation is result of the more liberal provisions of the re- gently enacted amendments to the unemployment compensation law. Framers of the amendment felt that the unemployment compensation division of the department of la bor should be given a weeks time in which to recompute the benefit rates which will be based on the new and more liberal calculation method, the commissioner pointed out. About 10000 benefit claims will have to be recomputed.
 4 claimant now receiving benefits must report to the unemployment compensation office once during the first "full' week in July and will receive no check for that week Persons who start filing for benefits after July will be required to wait two full weeks before a payment will be made.

 The edit0Eialist for The Daily News remarks: "Nr. Winchell's suggestion that tax money paid by theater people be earmarked for the Federal Theater is the same as sug- gesting that patent medicine mak- CTS income taxes be spent to sub- sidize patent medicines, etc" Well. we didn't think anybody would assume anything of the kind {. We merely pointed out the irony of it; that the income taxes of only two people in the profession (Carole Lombard's and Producer L. B. May er,s) would be enough to take care of the 5000 persons affected, and that even the amusement tax 'alone is ample and more than enough to keep the project going" ..s.. We don't know of many other profess Sions or industries that pay such high taxes, etc. Some Con- gressmen apparently think WPA stands for: Why Pay Actors?" <
 The editorialist believes that the WPA Theater should be. killed be- cause it is composed of many sec ond-rate actors who couldn't make the grade in the regular theater And he adds that you can't pro- duce art by govt subsidies .. :. Both statements are open to de- bate The Federal Theater has uncovered many fine players and plays But even if the edi- torial writer is right-all we know is that it can't be right to take away jobs from people who need them. especially in these times !. !. When an ordinary person helps peo- pie in need, everyone thinks he is a fine man with a big heart. But when the govt helps people in need, some people consider it running the country! :. The News editorial says, too. that if actors are sub- sidized by Uncle Sam - then why aren't the lads who want to be- come baseball players also helped by the govt? Well, they are :. Many cities have playgroundS, equipment and baseball diamonds for boys to develop into future Di- Maggios a. . Not to mention the many school ball teams-they're on the govt payroll now!
 Slogan for actors trying to con- vince Congress the WPA Theater must not be closed: "The show must go on-and so must eating!
 As the publicity was readied for "Wuthering Heights" United Ar tists forgot to submit the press books to the Hays office .. One line in the ads released nationally read: All Hell was in their eyes" :. It made the censors furious :. They had vengeance, however When the press books for U. As "Four Feathers" were submitted TOT approval, an ad read: Neither Hell nor high water could keep them from blowing up the dam" =. It was returned with the following curt memo: Neither Heck nor high water could keep them from blow ing up the darn! Now see what you guys can do with that!"

Re(reationaI
Center Here
Is Proposed
Group Plan 10 Take Over
Fair Building, Install
Swimming Pool

Plans of group of Juneau citi-
zens to take over the Southeast AL
aska Fair Building and establish
there a modern recreational center
were REVEALED at last nights meet
ing of the City Council.
A non-profit corporation. said to
be fully financed, intends to develop
a community pavilion with a gym
nasium, swimming pool, rifle and
pistol ranges, archery range, ping
pong courts and showers and dress
ing rooms for men and women
A charge of 81 per month would
be made for each Juneauite wishing
to use the facilities of the recrea-
tional center. A thousand member
ships, it is said, would more than
pay the expenses of operating the
plant.
Building Free
The Fair Building has been offered
to the group by the Fair Associa-
ton free of charge, except that the
association is to have use of it three
days a year for the Southeast Alaska
Fair.
A number of articles necessary to
the installation of the recreational
center have already been donated
Included are boiler, burner, inter-
ior stucco material, carload of &C.
ment, sand and gravel and a gen.
erous discount on lumber. Labor to
complete the plant has also been
promised free of charge.
Ask Tax Privilege
Former Imam G. Emil
Krause appeared at the Council
meeting to ask that the city give the
recreational center tax-free priv
ileges inasmuch as it would be a
community proposition and a nom
profit organization. The Fair Build
ing is not taxed at present.
Mayor Harry I. Lucas and Coun-
cilmen expressed themselves as be-
ing heartily in favor of keeping
the building on the tax-free list
after it becomes a recreational CEN
ter, and said they would look into
the legal aspects of the problem.

Eagle Scout Greenbonk Does
Another First-Aid Good Turn
Rescues Unconscious
Youth Found on
Unfrequented Path

Eagle Scout Richard Greenbank,
for the second time in three months,
today has reason to be thankful
for his special training in first aid.
The 15-year-old Scout was re-
turning to his home, 632 Twenty
fourth street, South, Arlington, Va,
after attending an advanced Red
Cross flrst-aid class at Clarendon,
Va, late Tuesday night when his
most recent opportunity to do
fellow citizen an invaluable good
turn presented itself.
Cutting through a sparsely pop
ulated section south of Twenty
fourth street shortly before mid
night, Richard almost stumbled
over an unconscious human form
lying in the darkness.
A youth, who appeared about
Richards age, lay huddled on the
cold, damp ground, shivering in
subconscious effort to keep warm.
Notes Signs of Shock.
Observing that the youths symp-
toms tailed with descriptions of
shock, Scout Greenbank said that
he attempted to place the head in
position lower than the remainder
of the body and to make the pros
trate boy warm by wrapping about
him his own coat, hastily removed.
But foremost of first-aid rules,
Richard remembered, is to summon
medical authorities as quickly as
possible. Since no broken bones
were evident, Richard decided that
it would be simpler to carry the
victim to a hospital than it would
be to summon physician. So, lift
ing the boy in his arms, Richard
bore him to nearby Grant street,
tagged a passing automobile and
obtained a ride to Emergency Hos
pital
At the hospital the Scout-be-
friended youth was identified as
Richard Anderson, IS, of 9l8 M
street Sc. His ailment was dag
nosed as exhaustion due to expo
sure, shock and general rundown
condition, illustrating that Scout
Greenbanks Judgment IN the mat
ter was excellent.
Richard Anderson was released
IN his mothers care Wednesday
and today was reported to be up
and about as usual. He was I'M
able to give a coherent account
OF how he happened to be in Ar
lngton Tuesday night.
AS in the case of the sandlot
football players broken shoulder
last fall, physicians complimented
Scout Greenbank on this first-aid
work
Rigs Up Splint.
Richard was playing football
with group of youngsters on an
Arlington playground about three
months ago when one of the as
piring gridiron stars fell and frac-
tured his shoulder. Richard rugged

vent painful and dangerous mo-
ton, and saw to it that the in
