Local UsO Building

Erection of a USO clubhouse locally depends on future develop ments, and whether or not Juneau will serve as a regular leave area, " MT. Hoagland said.
 If the need warrants it, we are prepared to do everything possible for the construction of Federal government building, to be leased to the USO for operation" he stated.
 Report of the survey made by MT. Hoagland will be made to Gen. eral Osborn of the Special Service Branch of the War Department, which requested the survey.
 In Washington Hoagland will also confer with USO and Red Cross officials relative to the recreation al facilities In Alaska, with the U. s. Army Engineers regarding construction of such facilities, and with welfare and recreation off cers of the Navy

 After talking and eating with scr vice men, and speaking with offi- cers and townspeople all over the Territory, MT. Hoagland reports morale is high, and nominates four points to cover the greatest needs of men of the armed forces: ITO get the war over

 4-Adequate recreational facili- ties, both on the base or post and at local communities adjacent to their stations. Preferences are in the majority for motion pictures, radio, a good library and games. both indoor and outdoor, MT. Hoag- land found
 With respect to motion pictures, the investigator reports that "the industry is doing marvellous job in furnishing Is nm films to sery- ice men in Alaska and all overseas posts, at no cost to the military. Included are the latest productions, which are often shown in overseas areas previous to their billings in the States MT. Hoagland ex- plained.

Tekip-Tilla, in his lifetime, saw
one of Nuzi's mayors tried for Cor
ruption and misappropriation OF
crown property" and convicted Of
immoral behavior. The Mayor had
used the Nuzi prototype OF WPA
labor to "adorn his own home" and
had diverted tax collections to his
own use.
He was caught when two men en-
ployed to bring a local belle, Humer-
ELI, to a trysting place, where the
Mayor forced his attentions on her,
turned states evidence. The court
dismissed the other charges in favor
of this more sensational one, found
the Mayor guilty and turned the un-
fortunate transgressor over to the
young ladys father, who had the
privilege of doing anything he chose
with him, even to killing him.
Children by Proxy.
The Nuzians were homogeneous, II
their wives bore them children. II
not, the wife had the privilege OF
choosing proxy wife, and the chill
dren she bore were considered the
children of the formal wife. Con-
cubinage was prevalent.
For recreation, Tekip-Tilla sat
around and meditated, occasionally
slipping beer through straws. His
religion was polytheistic, his gar
ments consisted of sandals. under
garments, loose tunic and a wide
belt, and his favorite sport probably
was charioteering.
Examination of the derivation of
the 1888 names on the tablets indi-

Tekip-Tilla and his family, using
grain as the main unit of exchange.
| bought up land by this method
until peasants surrounding the
clans holdings had enough land to
support themselves, but not enough
to raise seed They were forced
to borrow from the family, at the
usual interest rate OF so per cent.
If man couldn't pay when his
debt fell due, he could be fined,
perhaps 20 times the amount Of
his original contract, and he would
then have to reborrow the amount
of his fine, letting his creditor take
his belongings for security. Under
such a system, the peasant soon
found himself so deeply in debt that
he gave up his land to his creditor
and hired himself out as slave,
unless he was so fortunate as to
have daughter to sell into con-
cubinage.
Corruption in the courts fostered
the process of driving the small
farmers from their land. Judges
were selected for many reasons
other than judicial competence, and
the Office became hereditary. Tablets
recording the activities of three sons
of Tekip-Tilla showed that they
never lost case to men whose land
was "mortgaged" to them-and also
that all the cases were tried by the
same judge, their Uncle Haish-
Tessup.
Tricky Justice.
When a judge wished to rule in
favor of land seeker against poor
farmer, despite the legalities favor
ing the latter, he could offer the
man a trial by ordeal. In this test,
a suspect was ducked under water:
If he survived, he was adjudged
guilty and subject to hanging; II he
drowned, he was innocent. Among

Cuneiforms Disclose
Life Of Rich Rascal
OF s. Centuries Ago

CHICAGO. Aug. l6.-Now. after
Is years of laborious study and re-
search. DR.. Ignace j. Gelb can tell
you the story of Tekip-Tilla, fas-
cinating rascal of IS centuries ago.
Tekip-Tilla lived In the ancient
land of Nuzi, in what now is Iraq.
He gave his family a virtual land
monopoly, in defiance of his kings
order, he corrupted the courts, en-
slaved the peasants, collected so per
cent interest on loans, and slipped
beer through a straw.
The story, woven into the record
of a nations decay, is written in
Babylonian cuneiforms on thousands
of clay tablets. DR.. Gelb, associate
professor of assyriology at the Uni
versity of Chicago, calls these tablets
the richest find of this type of ar
chaelogical material ever discov-
cred"
Deciphering Job Finished.
The tablets were excavated in
Nuzi, principally through the efforts
Of the late DR.. Edward Chiera of the
university's Oriental Institute. The
digging was begun in 1925 and con-
tinued until 1881. DR.. Gelb and his
associates only recently finished de-
ciphering and collecting the mate
rial.
Tekip-Tilla lived in Nuzi in 1900
B. c. and he and his descendants
built up family holdings until the
clan virtually dominated Nuzi and
the surrounding territory - all
against the kings order that land
should not be sold, but should pass
from father to son.
The Hurrians (the Horites of the
Bible were the dominant people of
Nuzi in that period. Their land
was parceled out in approximately
equal shares by their king, who set
up legal framework prohibiting
the sale of land and making it
compulsory to pass each share in
tact from one generation to the
next.
Law Evaded.
But ambitious men invented
methods of evading the law. The
most popular way. which eventually
became so common that it was re-
garded as customary, was for the
