outlined before the House Appro-
priations committee during the

way to spawn pass through Amer
lean waters and furnish big catch
for American fishermen.
jackson said the United States
and Canada established the COM
mission and worked out plans for
building fishwayS around Hell

the work will be about $2,500,000
half of which will be paid by Can

require about five years but part
of it which will be enough to start
TO restore the run can be completed
in about two years.

EMBLEM CLUB
CONSTITUTION
IS ACCEPTED

The regular monthly business
meeting of Juneau Emblem Club No.
80 was held last night in the Elks
Hall with Mrs. Daisy Fagerson,
President, presiding. During the
course of the evenings program,
Mrs. Jean Talkington, Mavis E. Nc
Mahon and Signe M. Karki were in
itiated as new members. Nine char
ter members who had not previously
taken the obligation of the organiza-
ton were present and were given the
pledge by Mrs. Fagerson.
The principal business to come
before the club was the report of the
Constitution and Bylaws Commit
tee which was read to the members
by Chairman Florence Holmquist.
With few minor changes, this re-
port was accepted by the members
and is being sent to the supreme
lodge for approval.
Under the terms of the new rules
for the club, it was necessary to elect
a second secretary. The club now
has Mrs. Catherine Hahn as its Re-
cording Secretary and, selected last
night, Mrs. Virginia Graham as the
Financial Corresponding Secretary.
During the evening, discussion was
had by the members on the future
plans for the entertainment of the
club members, how to raise money,
and what steps the members can
take to fulfill the purposes of the
club. Several of the group are
planning on having an evening sew
ing club and any member who wishes
further information on the plan
should cali Mrs. Estelle Hebert. At
the suggestion of Mrs. Florence
Mulch, several members have VOL
unteered to help the hospital staff
by rolling bandages. Anyone inter
ested in learning of this plan should
contact Mrs. Mulch.
No specific plans were laid for
the next meeting of the club which
will be the usual monthly social
occasion on March 81. Mrs Marion
Hedges was appointed by the presi-
dent as general chairman for that
night but has not yet named the
other members OF her committee.

NOT SETTLED

Termination of the Montgomery Ward case was
very unsatisfactory from point of view: 1t left
the most important issue raised by the seizure still
up in the air. Judge William H. Holly was deprived
of the opportunity of ruling the legality OF the
seizure because the collapsed before his ruling
was ready Attorney General Biddle had asked Judge
Holly to restrain Sewell Avery from interfering with
the Governments operation of the company's Chicago
store When the Government withdrew 1t naturally
lost interest in restraining the company management
so there was nothing for the court to decide in this
case 1t is a sound rule, Judge Holly pointed out,
which prevents courts from deciding questions already
dead"
But the desirabity of clarifying the momentous
issue raised by this to us beyond question
The President ikened his seizure of this mailorder
business to the action of policeman arreSting a
citizen against his protests His analogy tails down
for the simple reason that the Government did not
rely on the policeman Cor, in this instance, the
United States marshall and the courts. 1t called in
the Army But aside from that fact the case brought
into the open Administration claims to enormous
powers the lives and property OF citizens during
wartime The disturbing effect of those claims upon
liberty-lovng Americans cannot be laughed off by
irritable accusations that the and radio are not
giving the people the facts.

However, electronic experts say
it is possible to focus microphone

Also, most unique listening de-
vice is reported to have been de-
veloped by Col H. O. Bixby, now
of the u. S. Signal Corps, who also
developed amazing underwater
listening devices. BY small micro
phone placed in book or brief
case and without any wires, it is re-
ported that conversations can be
transmitted to a receiving set some
distance away. This device was de-
veloped outside the Signal Corps
and, if the Army is using this or
a similar device today, it remains
military secret.
So what with radar and televi-
sion, we may soon be walking
around, both listening in and
watching people at the other end
of the block.
Regarding the transcript of the
critical Baruch- Forrestal-Patterson
conversation, there is no question
but that this happened. Their con-
versation was reported and the gem
eral content of it reached the White
House, although by whom and how
will have to remain one of those
Washington mysteries.
It was SO mysterious to Secretary
of the Navy Forrestal that. year
ago, when he heard about this
whole thing. he had Commander
Ray Whitley of Naval Intelligence
search his house to see where the
microphones were located.
All of which brings us back to
the original forgotten point of the
original much controverted story
that the President can be very
forgiying man.

The fact of overshadowing Importance in this case

dent has found and proclaimed the emergency
and need, the courts will not review or, indeed,
inquire into the accuracy of the Presidents
findings, Or the wisdom, propriety or prudence
of this action.
In other words, the Administration asserts that
in wartime the rights of citizens at the mercy
of the President That concept of the presidential
office is of profound Importance to the people and
to Congress. In opinion it magnfies the powers
of the Commander in Chief beyond any reasonable
of the Constitution So hope that
this issue will be carried to the courts in clear
and unmistakable form Meanwhile the collapse OF
the case in Chicago has the effect of increasing the
Importance of the inquiry undertaken by the Senate
judiciary Committee. The time for Congress to give
thoughtful attention to the transfer of power from
legislative to executive hands is long overdue What
Congress can do to deflate the Bddle doctrine is
not yet clear, but at the very least it help the
people to understand the transformation that is
taking place under the stress OF war
