coNyALEsCING IN STATES

NUN fAAGOSA4N0 h A-o
 A radiogram was received by Mrs. Della Poor on Sunday that her son Pvt. First Class Jesse c. Poor had arrived safely in the United States and would recuperate in hospital there. Pfc. Poor was wounded in the invasion of France, receiving a German bullet about six inches above the right knee, shattering the bone. In a more recent letter, Pfc. Poor described himself as running from hedgerow to hedgerow loaded down with grenades, his carbine and all the machinegun rounds he could stand up under, to supply nest on the line. A German bullet knocked him down into the enemy line of fire and there he stayed watching the bullets spew up dust all around him. He said he was scared to death and figured he was done for until a German .88 milli- meter landed about IS feet from him and didn't go off-then he knew the Lord was with him and it wasn't his turn yet. Jesse said the medics got to him within an hour, bullets and all, and carried him to first aid tent for attention and then he flew to England the same evening where the hospital was the best and the medical care excellent. The last letter from him mentioned his leg was well enough for cast but there was no mention of the possibility of coming across. His mother, Mrs. Della Poor, has resided here since the first of the year but will go South next month.

purpose of passing their judgement on such matters; his letter making certain demands of a local utility company, which, according to oul ideas of good judgement and di- plomacy, should not have beer written without first having beer submitted to the City Council Reports Cited
 Reports too numerous to ignore have reached us that in addition to these activities, Mir Antrim has taken it upon himself to make a personal campaign about Juneau criticizing the Council for doing some things and for not doing others. In these activities he has had the cooperation of several Ju- neau citizens, whether by design or by accident.
 "The City Council is MT. An trims employer. Running the City of Juneau is big, difficult, con- plicated and often thankless job Admittedly, many mistakes are made by the Council. We feel, however, that its employees are no more justified in attempts to dis credit the Council than they would be. in discrediting their employer if he were private individual. No private business would tolerate an employee who failed to do several of his assigned duties; who engaged in activies whose net result, whe- ther intentional or not, was to cast doubt as to the ability of the employer to properly conduct his business; and who personally spent time casting aspersions at his em- ployer We see no reason why MT. Antrim should be allowed to do such things as an employee of the City.
 More Reasons
 During the course of the Council meeting of October 6, at which MT. Antrim was removed, the Council was accused of taking it's action because of pressure brought to bear by certain individuals upon whose toes MT. Antrim was said to have stepped The fact that MT. Antrim, since that meeting, has openly en- couraged this slanderous impress sion, confirms our opinion that our action in firing him was entirely in order.
 Tt appears to us that MT. An trim has been attempting to take onto his own shoulders most, if not all, of the duties and powers of a City Manager. We resent the high-handed manner in which he conducted himself while in office, particularly his efforts to set him. self up as the judge of whether the Councils actions were right or wrong. The City Councils func- tion is to govern the City of Ju- neau, and we have no intention of abdicating that function to any City employee, either by himself or in the company of others.

WALTER STUART. MANAGER OF kpU
 JUNEAU VISITOR

utilities would work out If they were kept out of politics, Walter P. Stuart, Manager of Ketchikan Pub lie Utilities and member of the Board of Regents of the University of Alaska, told of a recent trip he made to Washington, D. C., and New York City. The trip was in connection with the proposed new bond issue Ketchikan is planning to float if the voters on November IA vote for the Beaver Falls power project.
 Arriving in Washington, Stuart found that the Beaver Falls project had been turned down the day be- fore. After he presented the en- gineers with more data the project was then approved.
 Under the present plan the gov ernment will grant $125,00o to the City of Ketchikan, $150,000 will be raised by a bond issue, and the re- mainder will come out of the reserve fund Of utility.
 Stuart said the power project is being strongly backed by the revived Municipal Ownership League which has, he says, no official connection with KPU.
 Leaving Washington, Stuart went to New York City where he had the municiual bonds of Ketchikan rated by Moody Investment Service. He also conferred with Dun and Brad street, and retained the firm of Wood. Hoffman. King and Dawson, 48 Wall Street, as attorneys for all city bond issues.
 Stuart was told, concerning the new bond issue to be raised if the voters say ives" on November IA, that under certain conditions the interest charged would come to less than two per cent.
 Certain safeguards would have to be established if the low interest rate was guaranteed. These are CD All funds of KPU, over and above oper- ating and return expenses, be set aside in a special fund and not be used for anything except the util- ities.
 CD The bonds be both revenue and general operation and have the taxing power of the city back of them.
 (3) That the bonds be issued by public bidding.
 Stuart has just returned from Fairbanks where he attended meeting of the Board of Regents of the University of Alaska. Regents present were Donohoe, Lathrop, Hess, Nerland and Stuart.
 Walsh, Cochrane and Gilson were absent from the meeting, which last ed one day.
 Stuart said he had been working on a Southern Branch of the Uni versity for Ketchikan to teach fish, cries and forestry. He stated the project was coming along nicely and there was a possibility of building the school after the war. President Charles Bunnell of the university has taken an option on a piece of land in his own name and not the schools. This, Stuart believes, is the first step toward building the school.
 Stuart stated Ketchikan was the logical place to locate such an insti- tuition as they have the fish and on the West Coast, nearby, most of Southeast Alaska's marketable tim Der. He stated that Dr. Bunnell was much in favor of the proposed branch.
 Stuart will leave for Ketchikan tomorrow

By BUFORD SOMMERS,

United Press Staff Correspondent
PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 9-What's
the matter with sports?
Science finds that during periods
of great emotional stress, such as in
wartime or economic depressions,
civilization undergoes an urge to
change the rules in sports with
view to adding thrills for the spec
tators and, purely as a side issue,
to improve box office conditions
There are signs that we are ap-
preaching just such cycle.
A case in point was the sugges-
ton the other day from the At
lantic seaboard, cradle of American
democracy and many Zaney Idea,
that in baseball the batter be al
lowed to elect whether he shall run
to first, second or third, or third,
second and first. He'd figure first
whether he'd have the wind with
him or against him. Another pro-
posal was to limit the size of
basketball guards so those big guys
would stop blocking SO many
