Completely re-worked and re- fitted from the days when she was flown on submarine patrol by the Royal Canadian Air Force, Alaska Coastal Airlines new twin-engint Grumman Gray Goose Amphi- bian landed back at Juneau this afternoon - ready for immediate service on ACAs over water routes out of Juneau.
 Topped south three weeks ago by Sheldon Simmons, the ship was given a thorough going-over in the Pacific Airmotive shops at Los Angeles. A new engine was in- stalled, giving the Goose" two latest type Pratt and Whitney SB3 "Wasps' of 450 horsepower each The plane is capable of flying on either engine alone, entering a new factor of safety into seaplane op- eration in this area.
 The entire cabin has been sound proofed, according to national air lines standards-with spun glass insulation and flame-proof leather interior skin. New cushioned leather seats fer seven passengers were in- stalled in the cabin at Los An geles. Individual seat lights, ash trays and toilet facilities are pro- vided. Smoking can be enjoyed ir flight with perfect safety, at such times as the pilot has turned off the mo smoking" sign. The cabin is temperature controlled and aii conditioned.
 All flying instruments were re- conditioned and calibrated at Los Angeles just before the ship was given it's CAA certification fol passenger carrying.
 Previous to the hop south fo1 final touches, the new Grumann was given the attention of the AGA here for four months, being stripped down to her skeleton completely rebuilt, and decked in Alaska Coastal's blue and yellow colors.
 On the return flight north from Los Angeles, the ship covered the stretch from the California city to Seattle in six and one-halt hours. After a three-day stop at Seattle, Pilot Simmons set hei down at Bella Bella last evening coming on to Juneau this forenoon Her l90 miles an hour cruising speed enabled the ship to fly here from Ketchikan in one hour 2T minutes. Pilot Simmons flew the ship on wheels from airfields ir the States, but she will be oper- ated from water in service here.
 Passengers arriving here today aboard the Grumman were: Mrs Sheldon Simmons and their son R. c. Cook, National Lead Con- pany representative, from Seattle and three aircraft mechanics who will be employed in the AGA shops here. The three mechanics are Harold E. Essy of Seattle, Don F Miller of Seattle, and Calvin R. Nyquist of Los Angeles.

States. Mexico and Canada and the
man was finally discovered to b.

conceal profits from sales at above
ceiling prices and that his tax de-

Parents Should Force Children
7oLeornMusic, Conductor Says

Don't give up your dreams Of max
ing musician out of your child
because he does not like TO practice
his piano lessons.
Saul CASTOR, guest conductor with
the National Symphony for the
Water Gate concerts this week and
next, believes that parents ridiculed
for forcing their children to learn
to play an instrument are doing the
right thing.
"A child can be forced to become
musician" he said. If he is re-
luctant to practice he should be
forced-up to certain age. Then
you don't need to force him. He
develops an interest OF his own"
Practices Preachings.
Mr.. CASTOR practices what he
breaches with his 13-year-o daugh-
ter. Marise Ruth.
Il don't think she will turn pro-
fessional," he remarked She
doesn't like to practice. But I in
sist that she know how to play, for
cultural background. A feeling for
and understa nding of music is an
invaluable asset to every grown
person"
Mr.. CASTOR, former associate con-
ductor OF the Philadelphia Orches-

Indian Leaders Disagree,

LONDON. June 2e.-The New
Delhi radio said today the Simla
conference summoned by Viceroy
Lord Wavell to discuss hts plans for
revision of the Indian government
has been adjourned until July IA
because Of q disagreement between
leaders of the Moslem League and
the Congress party.
The two, factions previously had
been reported deadlocked over the
distribution Of seats In q proposed
vice regal council.
The chief stumbling block to
agreement among the Indian lead
ers apparently involved the question
Of whether the Congress party
should be permitted to name any
Moslems as It's representatives on
the council or whether Moslem
representation should be exclusively
from members Of the Moslem
League.
The Congress party has insisted 1t
represents all Indian communal
