La Guardia Dispute
May Delay Congress
On Defense Funds
House Group Votes to Let
Army Give Out Civilian
Protective Supplies
4y the Associated Press.


A fight centering around Mrs
Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mayor
La Guardia of New York threatens
to delay congressional action on CIV
ilian defense appropriations.
BY a vote of IL to 10, the House
Military Affairs Committee approved
a second time bill to authorize the
War Department to procure and dis
tribute up to 500 100000 worth OF
supplies to protect the civilian popu-
lation from bombing attacks.
A minority of the 81 committee
members who attended the meeting
were reported to have favored plac-
ing Jurisdiction over the civilian de-
fense program in the hands of
Mayor La Guardia director OF civil
ian defense activities, and his assist
ant, Mrs. Roosevelt.
Approved by Senate.
The Senate already has approved
q measure giving jurisdiction to
Mayor La Guardia's organization
and authorizing unlimited expendi-
lures.
Earlier, the House committee had
voted out the same bill it approved
yesterday. The second meeting,
Chairman May said, was called to
determine whether the committee S
sentiment had changed since the
Senate passed the so-called La
Guardia measure. Mr. May said he
would seek consideration of the
House bill today
Should the House approve its COM
mittee's bill, appointment of a con-
ference committee probably would
be necessary to resolve the differ
ences between the two branches.
Although the committees action
was taken in executive session, men,
bers who attended reported the ma
jority of Republicans. together with
several Democrats, favored giving
the War Department control of the
program and limiting the initial au-
thorization to s100,OO0,OO0.
Question of Jurisdiction"
One Republican, Representative
Harness of Indiana, said the COM
mittee's action was mot a question
so much of La Guardia" as a matter
OF proper jurisdiction. The War
Department, Mr.. Harness contended,
sis responsible for the safety of the
country and is the logical agency
to handle this work" He suggested
creation of a new position of Under
secretary of War to handle the pro-
gram, possibly in cooperation with
Mayor La Guardia's organization.
1T is something that should be
done right away. too" he added.
One influential friend of the ad-
ministration on the committee de-
scribed the controversy as mostly
political"

Juneau Wins
Title fro m
Douglas High
Crimson Bears Victorious,
3t-2O-Haines -Skagwdy
Tournament Eyed

Smashing straight through a
Douglas team which couldn't get
steam up, the Juneau High Grim
son Bears last night captured the
Gastineau Channel High School
basketball championship, 81 to 90
1t was the third straight victory
for Juneau.
Even the red-clad team was slow
starting, getting only one free
throw in the opening quarter, while
the Huskies from the Island shared
three points. In the second quarter,
Nordling, Murphy, Bavard, Nucholls
and Johnson filtered through the
Douglas defenses with stray shots
and held the Douglasites TO only
one basket
After the half, the visitors found
their eye to some degree, but they
missed more baskets than they
made, while Juneau ran up the
score to 20-l4. The same five Jul
'neau men kept slanting shots at
the enemy target. while Douglas
waited too long.
The student stands. packed with
supporters from both schools,
roared with enthusiasm as the
Huskies narrowed the score to 20
26, but that was as close as Doug
las came to victory Big John Ba-
ward sank two unbelievable long
chance shots, his mates added some
more and the game was over.
Despite the victory. it wasn't as
satisfactory an ending as one play
er might have wished-Don Muir
ply, Crimson veteran, ended his
high school career midway in the
fourth quarter when he was re-
placed after scoring points, not
up to his usual eagle-eye standard.
The stands gave him big hand
when he left the floor and his
mates on the bench stood up in
tribute to player, who paved the
way for Juneau's final victory with
his consistent seasons play.
The opening game between re-
serve teams from the two schools
wound up the same way it had in
the two previous games-Douglas,
won, 27-21.
With the Gastineau Channel
championship safe, Coach Fred
Lindenmeyer said arrangements
will be made for the Crimson
Bears to meet the, winner of the
Haines- Skagways tournament, the
winner of that match to be eligible
to meet the Southern Division
