Hayes Takes
 Over Mayors
 Chair Here

One of the largest groups in many years filled up the City Council chambers last night as in- terested Juneauites, turned out to see the retiring city administra- tion hand over the jobs to the newly elected officials.
 Mayor Harry I. Lucas called the old council together for the last time, heard reports on the work of various departments and cleaned up other routine business, then the new officers stepped forward and were sworn in by City Magistrate M. E. Monagle and the new mayor and councilmen made their way to their chairs with handshakes all around.
 Before Councilman Ralph Beist- line made the motion to adjourn the retiring council, Councilman Harry Lea paid short tribute to the accomplishments of the outgo- ing administration, and then May or Lucas expressed his appreciation for the fine cooperation of the members of the council and all city employees during his administra- tion. T hope the incoming mayor will receive the same 100 percent cooperation I have received and I know his year will be an outstand- ing one,' said Lucas.
 Hayes Takes Chair
 Mayor A. B. Hayes called the new council to order and City Clerk Jack Kearney called the roll-Don Skuse, Oscar Harri, Dr. William M Whitehead, Harry Lea, Ed Shaf- fer and Elroy Ninnis.
 Mayor Hayes then asked if any one in the audience wished to be heard, after giving brief talk thanking the retiring officers for their work for Juneau and express sing a hope that "even though you are getting out of the harness, you will still be called on to promote the welfare of Juneau"
 Ernie Parsons, former council man, among those in the audience arose and spoke briefly. T think we all feel" he said, that the ad- ministration headed by Harry Lucas has done a fine job for the city in more than one respect. The new mayor has a job cut out for him in an unsettled period and we have all of the confidence in the world in the new setup."
 Mayor Hayes then pointed out that his administration expects criticism, that it is impossible to please all of the people, but that the council will do all it can for Juneau.
 Lucas spoke briefly. telling of hu- morous incidents that had happen ed in his six years as mayor.
 Health Matter
 The new council received letter from pr. C.. c. Carter, Territorial Commissioner of Health, urging that the city take action to match Territorial funds for the city's nursing service by appropriating $1 500 for the year, the same as last year, for this purpose. Mayor Hayes said he would refer the matter to the Committee on Finance as soon as it is appointed.
 The council also voted to provide for the customary annual audit of the municipal books, awarding the job to James c. Cooper for a charge of $35O.
 The new council will meet again on April 21, at which time com- mittees will be appointed and all city employees hired.

SAMPLE AFTERNOON IN THE Ns8 HOUSE

Almost any afternoon it is the same story. Take the afternoon Of March 27. The House met that day at. l2 noon and adjourned at 4:22 D. m. During more than half of the four-hour and 22-minute ses- sion, members were forced to lis- ten to a gum-beating contest be- tween Representative Hoffm a n who was delivering a tirade against Walter Winchell, and Representa- tive Ralph E. Church of Illinois who was making a political stump speech against the Kelly Demo- cratic machine in Chicago.
 Several times, Representatives Herman Eberharter of Pennsylvania and Adolph Sabath of Illinois, chair- man of the Rules Committee, broke in with appeals to the chair and to Hoffman to desist. But Hoffman roared them down.
 We are wasting the time of all members of this House on the floor when important legislation IS com ing up," Eberharter implored. why don't we get on with the business oi the House
 But Hoffman beloved on. Time is no object to the jabbering Mich igander, nor does he worry about the $45 page paid by the taxpay- CTS for printing his outbursts in the Congressional Record.
 Hardly had Hoffman finished when his windy colleague, Con- gressman Church, took up the cud- gels. Church and Sabath clashed violently over whether the Kelly machine was stealing pennies

The w ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON ct. Col Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army)

WASHINGTON-This column re- gently reported certain fragrant cases of war plant loafing. It should also be pointed out that no where has loafing become a finer art than in the Congress of the United States.
 In all fairness, it should be noted that this is not true of the great majority of Congressmen, who work hard, earn more than their salaries, and are a credit to the nation. But a rabid, rabble -rousing minority spoils the reputation of the ma jority
 Also, there has developed more quibbling and dawdling over major issues than ever before in recent years. War has speeded up the nations production but not its leg islative machinery. For more than three months, the House and Sen- ate hemmed and hawed over a tax bill, only to bring forth mouse. An almost equal amount of time was frittered away in passing sol diers' vote bill which did not give service men as much voting privil- ege as they had before.
 Walk into the gallery of the House of Representatives almost any afternoon and you will find men like Clare Hoffman of Michigan and John Rankin of Mississippi bel lowing by the hour on picayune po- litical matters far removed from the issues for which U. s. troops overseas are giving their lives.
