TWO HIp5DAMAGED
 NEAR PETERSBURG

News of damage to two small boats in the. Petersburg area on August was received here today by the Customs Service.
 First mishap occurred at 3 am. of that day, when the Gordon D., bound for Chatham Straits with 4O.000 pounds of fresh salmon, ran on a rock 200 yards off Cornwallis Point, in Frederick Sound.
 According to the report, the seine boat Helen J. tried twice to pull the Gordon D. off the rocks but both times the tow line parted. Then the Coast Guard cutter Me- maha went to the rescue and pulled the ship off, then towing it to Petersburg.
 Thrown off to tighten the ship, the load of salmon, valued at $1 POO, was total loss Damage to the boat was estimated at $1. 900. The boat is valued at $6,500 and is fully insured It is the property of M. B. Dahl, of Hood Bay, and was explained by Nicholas Ghiz, of Ketchikan.
 The second Petersburg marine ac- cident on August happened at 1 pm. at the Standard Oil dock there The diesel boat Star, which had been taking on gasoline, caugh. fire when the gas tank overflowed and gasoline drained into the en- zine room It was believed the ex- plosion was caused by the gasoline leaking onto storage batteries.
 L. R. Martens, Petersburg, owner and master, said the Star is valued at $6,00O and estimated the dam age caused by the fire approximat- ed $3,000.

Olson left again today with Ray Rem shaw, pilot for the Fish and Wild life Service, on another scouting trip to western and eastern dis trictS.
 The pink run in Clarence Straits is improving favorably and the Sumner Straits run is continuing heavily, it was reported The run in the southern district, south of Ketchikan, fell off generally about 10 days ago ana is recovering slowly Fishing season in this dis trict closes at pm. today, how ever. Olson spent two days in Ket- chikan during his trip and ob- served the run in waters south of the First City.

Amber Here; Recruiting
 Is Purpose
Men Are Sought for Naval Reserve for Special
 Duty in Alaska

The U. s. s. AMBER now morred at the Government Dock Ii Juneau is here on a cruise for the purpose of recruiting men ill the Naval Res erve for special duty in Alaskan waters. The party is headed by Lt.-Comdr. Parke w. Willis
 The men obtained under this pro- gram will be definitely scheduled for duty in Alaska. The Navy is des- irous of taking advantage of the local knowledge and experience gained by these men through their regular work in these waters. As signment will probably be to patrol vessels of a class similar to the U. S. s. YP-73 which has been in Juneau the past few days These boats are converted commercial craft and will range in size from 60 to l20 feet long. Crews will num- Der from 10 to 30 men.
 Given Ratings
 Men enlisted in the special class ifications for Alaskan duty will be given ratings in accordance with their experience and ability which will be checked through examina- tions given by officers of the AMBER. Ratings obtainable carry hase pay rates from $2l.00 pe1 month to S126.00 per month. Training and special study courses are available to all classes and the men are given opportunity and encouraged to ad- vance to higher grades. The physical requirements are somewhat more lenient than in the regular Navy.
 Men enlisted at this time will enlist for four years or for the dur ation of the National Emergency Immediately upon enlistment they will be placed on an inactive status. They will probably be called to active duty this November. Should the National Emergency terminate before the expiration of the four year enlistment the men will be returned to inactive status for the balance of their enlistment While on inactive status man may carry on his normal civilian occupation.
 Extended Enlistment
 Enlistments will also be accepted for six-year terms in the regular Navy if anyone desires to make the Navy his career. This wou'd mean duty outside Alaska. Also anyone enlisting in the Reserve who would prefer to have duty outside Alaska will be given opportunity 9 assign ment elsewhere.
 Although this recruiting party party cannot give commissions for officer personnel they will be glad to take applications from qualified persons and to give them any infor- nation they desire.
 The AMBER will remain in Jun eau until Tuesday morning. She will then tail for Skagway where she will spend August 20 and 2l. She will be in Sitka August 23, 24 and 70 and will make a second call at Juneau on August 27 anC 8. The ship will be open to visitors from to 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon August IT,

Voorhis contributed this: Tt has been my view all along that the kind of legislation that should be brought in the House is legislation that would attempt in a very care full and discriminating manner 10 separate the great rank and file Of American labor from those ele- ments that really make for trouble for the labor movement itself"
 This may be only straw in the wind, but insiders on Capitol Hill think it might also be good sized hunk of timber in building 8 foundation for labor movement completely free of fifth colum- nists." If this measure goes through the Senate without any serious blasts of opposition, the seamen may be next--and after that other la bor groups involved in national defense.

PRIORITY RATING HEARING K HELD;
 OFFICIALS CONFER
Applications Being Made for Public Works Proj-
 eCts, Defense Bases

An dpllCaJlOu lUl q Wd'Si hi"h end sewage system for Kodiak, tc cost an estimated $314,C00, was given first place yesterday after noon when applications for public works projects around defense bases were given priority ratings at a meeting of representatives of fed eral and territorial departments held here.
 Headed by Fred T. Evans, assis- tant regional PWA director from seattle, the group considered some I5 major applications from Sitka Kodiak, Seward, Anchorage, Fair banks and Ketchikan. These appli- cations for projects are being sub- mitted in hopes of receiving fedora, funds made available in the $150,- 100000 Community Facili ies Act to provide needed improvements 1T communities where increased popu- iation due to the defense program has seriously taxed existing facil- ities.
 Projects were considered yester- day at the meeting here from the standpoint of their urgency Evans said. In all, between $2,500 900 and S3 100000 will be needed to com plete urgently required pubic works projects in Alaska defense centers Evans declared.
 Tn third place, behind the Kod- iak water main and sewer, the meet ing decided most urgent require ment of the Territory is for some $93 1000 for school needs through out Alaska. The project was sub mitted by Territorial Commissioner of Education James c. Ryan, who pointed out to the meeting that the flood of families coming to Alaska for defense work has meant a heavy burden on the territorial school system, already in bad financial position due to failure of the ter ritorial legislature to provide bud geted requirements.
 The funds asked through the Community Facilities Act for schools in Alaska would provide for the employment of extra teachers needed and the rental of temporary quart CTS for the coming school year, Evans explained It is an emergency matter, he stated, and does not ask funds for the construction of per- inanent school buildings.
 The sewer and water main at Kodiak was deemed most urgently needed because the continued use of present inadequate water and sewage disposal systems a: the is land city will create a hazardous situation from a health standpoint, Evans declared. The proposed water main would cost an estimated $780, 900, while the sewer system would run about $128,000.

Executives Apprehensive

Therefore, although agitation
for government control of our
railroads is noneXistent, railway
executives are apprehensive lest
bureaucrats seek to uSe-mis-
use--the existing emergency to
repeat the disastrous World War
experiment. They say they have
countered limitations at
Washington that, if We enter
the war, the administration
plans to seize operation of all
rail transportation.
InduStrialists and other busi-
ness heads who recall painfully
wildly how Washington bungled
the job in the World War, would
be gravely disturbed were similar
action taken again. They have
far greater faith in the ability
of experienced arrangements to
supply maximum of tfansPef-
tation than they have in the
ability of bureaucratic amateurs
to perform this admittedly her
culean task.
What happened railreadwise
during the United States rail-
road administration, under Die
tator McAdoo, can be gathered
from these facts, as revealed by
Samuel o. Dunn, editor of Rail-
way Age:

Suggests Educational
Course for Taxpayers

subject to tax liabilities to kesD
their books of accounts In Q
more orderly manner. As a re-
suit there has been marked
progress in the last quarter Of
a century in American account
ing practices and especially inl
cost accounting.
Obviously. the little fellow,
who will be added to the COM
pany of income tax payers, Is
not really a new taxpayer. Every
gainfully employed person has
always contributed to the cost
of government-largely through
hidden taxes.
The proposed sharp increase
in federal imposts will tend to
awaken the average citizen to
the fact that taxes constitute a
hidden ingredient which unbal-
ances family incomes. On the
spending side, the family pur-
chasing agent tends to think in
terms of the breadwinner's gross
income. This is a snare and a
delusion. What is really avail
able for family spending and
saving is the net family income
after taxes have been paid.

Principal Nearly Repaid

On June 30, 1888. the secre-
tary of the treasury reported
that all but $50, 100000 of the
principal had been repaid, also
S217,840.000 in interest, SO that
principal and interest payments
exceeded the total loans by
S187, $4,000.
Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1880
proclaimed this sound philos-
ophy:
"The doctrine OF regulation
and legislation by master minds
in whose Judgment and will the
people may gladly and quietly
acquiesce has been too glaringly
apparent at Washington during
these last 10 years. Were 1t
possible to find master minds
almost godlike in their
ability to hold the scales of
Justice with an even hand. such
a government might be to the
interest OF the country. There
are none such on our political
horizon"
Three years ago he told Con-
gresS that he opposed govern
ment ownership and operation of
the railroads.
It is profoundly to be hoped
that he won't change his mind
