COUNCIL ADOPTS $9o,495 JUNEAU
 SCHOOL BUDGET
Board Recommendations Aetepted- Teachers Get
 Substantial Raise

A $99 495 Juneau school budget, providing raise in teachers salar- ies to minimum of $l 300 and an annual increase of $45 for each years service, was adopted last night by the City Council.
 The Budget, left in the identical form in which it was presented by the School Board, calls for the City to contribute $42,851 to the cost of operating in the l939-40 school year. The rest is to be paid by the Territory
 Last years budget total was $87, 470, which is $l2.O25 less than that approved for the coming year. The increase is due largely to the new minimum salary law passed by the 1889 Legislature. But the Juneau Board and Council added the pro- vision for the $45 annual raise for five years, no such provision being in the Territorial law as finally enacted.
 One of the teachers, under the new budget, will get salary raise from $l ,680 to $2,25, but the aver age raise will be about $200.

 PLEBISCITE

German Papers Shouting of Anti-HitIer Terror-
 ism in Poland

BERLIN. May GA German pro- posal for a plebiscite in the free city of Danzig to decide whether or not Danzig should return to Germany $ flag is believed to have been made.
 It is regarded as a foregone con- clusion that Danzig, established in the territory taken from Germany after the World War, and whose population is more than ninety per- cent German, would vote to join Hitler.
 Monsignor Cesare Orsenigo, Papal Nuncio in Germany, visited Hitler today and conferred with him, it was revealed.
 Officials said the conference had to do with Catholic matters rather than the international situation.
 Newspapers in Germany are splurging reports of alleged attacks on Germans in Poland, saying that many are having to flee and that Hitler had better come to the aid of the German population which IS being terrorized by Polish bands in an unbelievable way.

Juneaus City Council last night instructed Chief of Police Dan Ral- ston and Magistrate Grover c. Vim to enforce an ordinance forbidding sidewalk Instructions.
 Under the ordinance, the City will order grocery stores to take their displays of produce and racks of outgoing orders off the sidewalks and will make drug stores take in their protruding magazine stands.

 With tourists soon to be throng ing the streets, the City Fathers judged it wise to clamp down on violators The penalty for obstruct- ing the sidewalk, under the or Quldiltc, ID llOill pD tO plOO

SERIOUS QUESTION B0B5
 UP FOR U. S., IF FRANCE
 ANDENGLAND G0T0 WAR
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, May 6. = It is Just possible that in event England and France go to war we cannot ship them single military air plane because it might be an act of war on our part against their ene- mics.
 It depends on whether an air plane is a war vessel in the same sense as a seagoing war vessel.
 Ironically enough, the rule of international law which stands in the way was written almost en- tirely by England-to protect her self against us.
 During Civil War days, England built and outfitted several cruisers for the Confectionery. The most important one, the Alabama, sank prodigious amounts of Yankee commerce and almost scared our merchant ships off the high seas.
 President Lincoln, Secretary of State Seward and Charles Frances Adams, then ambassador to Eng land, were pretty angry, but Eng land sort of laughed up her sleeve.
