WASHINGTON, Oct. 26 The business of distributing congression- al patronage has been forced upon our attention. The conclusion is we would rather occupy a cottage be- tween the Maginot and Siegfried lines than have to distribute post masterships.
 The nearest thing to patronage heaven we have discovered has been worked out in Arizona. Even there tacks lie hidden in the golden streets.
 It is for good reason that Sena- tor Norris of Nebraska says that for every friend gained by giving him a job. a hundred disappointed applicants become active enemies. We need only go to Arizona for a sample.
 Senators Ashurst anu Hayden thought at one time it would be nice if they retained for themselves the job of naming the foremen on the Federal project on the upper Gila River There were POO such jobs. Surely. they thought, that would be enough to go around. But the news got out that they were distributing the patronage Promptly they were confronted with l,200 applications.

 Early made today's statement just as he came from conference with the President.
 In San Francisco yesterday, Sec retary Wallace said.
 Since the outbreak of war in Europe, it has become apparent that this country needs talents and train ing of MT. Roosevelt. not only in meeting the situation abroad. but also in the handling of domestic problems

NO OTHER TROUBLE

Other than that, patronage flows smoothly in Arizona The represen- tative-there is only one in Arizona and his name is Murdock-names all the postmasters. As patronage goes that is fairly nice because in the range country of Arizona the postmaster sees all the neighbors at least once a week when they gallop in for the mail.
 The big jobs, such as internal revenue collector, district attor- ney and United States marshal, go to the Senators. Senator Hayden remembers only one serious depar- ture from that happy arrangement.
 While Hayden was Representa- tive in the pre-Murdock days, Senator Ashurst said he would like to name the postmaster at

Campaign for
 Civic Center
 Begins Today
Membership Pie dges 10 Be Sought for Remak-
 ina Fair Building

Campaign was launched today to secure pledges of membership in a proposed non-profit Juneau Rec reation Center which would be built in the Southeast Alaska Fair Building in an attempt to give Ju- neau it's first really civic hall in history.
 The plan. backed by c E. Krause John Ahlers and Frank Metcalf, is for a profit, social educa- tional and scientific association and corporation" to be financed and operated by the people of Juneau through annual subscription in membership dues.
 Lineup of Plan
 Here is the way the plan lies now;
 One, the corporation takes over on lease the fair building from the Pair Association, seals the sheet metal structure and installs rec reational facilities at a cost esti- mated between fifteen and twenty thousand dollars.
 Two goal of around 1900 mem bership pledges at SIP year is set. You sign the pledge, but are not obligated to pay until the center be- comes a reality.
 Three, Once the goal is reached, packers of the plan feel it win be easy to secure the necessary money to effect construction, whereupon 1t is felt operating costs and member ship dues will wipe out the debt in approximately two years and permit lower membership fees.
 To Operate Fair
 Four, Under the lease terms, the Southeast Alaska Fair Corporation would still operate the fair for two weeks of the year, although some talk has been heard of the recrea- tional corporation also running the fair.
 Included in plans drawn up for the remodeling of the fair building into a recreation center is a swim ming tank 50 feet by 30 feet, 10 feet deep at one end and 30 inches deep at the other, warm water.
 Members of the center will be given free use of the pool and the corporation will likely rent suits.
 How Designed
 There will also be large size basketball court, rifle range, an archery range, a roller skating rink on which the concession would be rented. horseshoe courts, a regula- ton boxing ring and bleachers,
