JUNEAU GAR SOLD FOR $1
 IN SEATTLE
Auto Abandoned by Local Man for Parking Fine
 Sold by Sheriff

SEATTLE, May 30.-The ancient auto belonging to Joseph Wagner of Juneau which he abandoned in front of the Seattle Police head quarters four months ago rather than pay $1 parking fine, was sold for $1 today to the garage where the 1923 model sedan has been held for storage.
 The dollar was paid at sheriff's sale and was given as credit for the s12.50 storage fee.
 Wagner, four months ago, found an overtime parking ticket on the windshield of his car, then wrote to the Seattle police saying that they could have the car, that he would rather forfeit the car than bother with the $1 fine.

 Military and civil guards stood watch over defense plants from Coast to Coast today after be- ing summoned overnight.
 Civilian authorities spoke of sabotage and military officers talked only of tactical rnancuv- CTS. Highlighting the sudden ac- tivity was the New England and California cancellation of leaves fer 14,0O0 soldiers for a practice alert" The ~alert" at Fort Gus ter, Michigan, was so realistic that officers confessed, "it even fooled us."
 War Department in Washing ton said it had issued no in- structicns of any kind to lead to the precautions and said 1t knew nothing of the activities at Fort Dix and Fort Custer. It was pointed out that the Post or Corps Commanders may order alerts or mancuvers at any time.
 Airplane factories and estab- lishments engaged in defense production, 1t was explained, arc under the protection of the FBI and individual protection forces are at most plants.
 Anti-aircraft guns have been mounted atop California plane factories and ships in Los An- geles harbor are fIoodiighted. Police guards have been aug mented in several cities along the West Coast, and patriotic bodies" have been asked to stand by.

 DAY HERE
Hundreds Witness Parade Program, Services al
 Dock, Cemetery

Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and the veterans of the last war marched in Juneau's Memorial Day parade to- day.
 Headed by Company A and the Headquarters and Medical Detach- ments of the First Battalion of the 297th Infantry, the parade began at the Federal Building at 10 o'clock and headed down Franklin Street to the Capitol Theatre. for memor ial exercises.
 Following in the line of march were the Juneau High School Band in bright red uniforms, snappy marching unit of Marines from the gunboat Charleston, and a com pany of Navy men from the war ship. Members of Afford John Brad ford Post of the American Legion, brought up the rear.
 Price of Liberty
 To capacity audience at the Cap itol Theatre, Memorial Day speak CT Lynn Gemmill. Assistant U. s. Attorney for the First Judicial Di- vision, declared that the nations war dead have not died in vain but have demonstrated the value we attach to our rights and liberties under the American system of gov ernment.
 America has always felt" he said, that every war would be the last one, but it seems an inevitable flow of sacrifice is required in order to preserve liberty and justice
 Noting that democracy is threat ened today as never before, Gemmill said the attitude of America to- ward the emergency today is the same as it was in 1917, and Ameri- cans are just as willing today to make a sufficient sacrifice to re- duce that threat to nothingness.
 Have Not Died in Vain
 The pertinent question Have those who fought and died for America and liberty fought and died in vain?" is still answered, he said, as it was at Gettysburg and as it was at the close of the last World War: These honored dead have not died in vain"

WASHINGTON.-I hasn't been announced but the Roosevelt cab inet has a new member.
 He is Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, Director of Civil Defense. The dy- mamie little New Yorker attended his first Cabinet meeting last Fri day and will participate in all future weekly sessions.
 A veteran of 37 years in public of flee, LaGuardia is one of the ablest administrators in the country. With the exception of Roosevelt, La Guardia knows more about govern mental affairs than any member of the Cabinet, also has more drive and capacity. By all odds he is the most experienced and resourceful executive the President has ap- pointed in a long time.
 Apparently desirous of taking full advantage of this, the President di- rected LaGuardia to attend the weekly Cabinet deliberations, al- though he does not have titular Cab inet status.
 Some White House advisers have long advocated that Defense heads attend Cabinet sessions for a closer integration of policy making with the actual execution of policy. They have in mind OPM Chiefs Knud- sen, Hillman, Biggers, Stettinius and Nelson, and Price Regulator Tender son.
 NOTE:-On his first day in of flee LaGuardia floored officials who conferred with him about taking ever certain offices for his new agency, by telling them: Just leave
