 WHEREAS, the City of Juneau furnishes the majority or nearly all the employment of Douglas resi- dents: and the residents of Doug- las in turn conduct the majority of their business in the City of Juneau, and:
 WHEREAS, the cities of Juneau and Douglas are so closely situated that the recreational facilities serve both towns as one, as: For in- stance, the Treadwell Beach, where hundreds of families from both cities gather on sunny days as the only favorable and immediately available bathing and picnic beach and:
 "WHEREAS, this beach and pie nic spot may be closed to residents of both cities unless some suitable arrangements can be made with the Alaska Juneau Mining Con- pany, by the officials of both towns involved;
 "We THEREFORE propose that the Juneau and Douglas Chambers of Commerce act jointly and to- gether with the Alaska Juneau Mining Co.,, to lease a portion of the beach, or otherwise obtain a permit for the use of the property by the public for their enjoyment and recreation;
 WE FURTHERMORE propose that this unified action, if accepted favorably by the Juneau Chamber, be extended to any and all other worthwhile projects which would benefit the residents of Gastineau Channel as a whole, whether 1t be playgrounds, promotion of indus try or Territorial and Federal pro- jects which may come during the postwar period.
 I'VE STILL FURTHERMORE propose that if the above feelings are in accordance with the feelings of the Juneau Chamber, that a member of the Douglas Chamber be invited to attend the Juneau Cham Der meetings (without vote) and the courtesy returned, for whatever benefit may be derived"

KANSAS CITY, June 21. - The heart of America gave General Dwight D. Eisenhower an uproarious homecoming today as he came back to his native Middle West on one of the supremely happy days of his life
 to greet his mother and four brothers and to hear that President Truman had promised him anything he wants.
 Wearing the broad grin for which he is famous, Ike" as he is known to the world swept his proud 83- year-old mother, Mrs. Ida E. Eisen- hover, into an embrace and kiss as his plane The Sunflower" brought him to Kansas City early this after noon and then pumped the hands of his brothers, Milton, Arthur, Earl and Edgar, gathered for the Mid- vests greatest greeting to a native son.
 Just as Eisenhower and his vic torious party of 53 landed at the Municipal Airport for Kansas City's greeting before proceeding tonight to Abilene, Kas, the small town from whence he started forth to glory, President Truman announced in Olympia, Wash, that Ike is en- titled to anything he wants and that he would see that the General gets it.
 The President made clear that Eisenhower's first job is to get back to Germany and finish his work there, but after that he can have what he wants.

AUGUSTA,-In this little city
located on the banks of the
White River it seems as if the
Negro population is in for a gen
eral clubbing from the City Mar
shall. Almost every week
prominent Negro is beaten with
the big oak club he carries. Os-
car Emerson, a prominent citizen
and steward at the Methodist
Church was badly beaten and
jailed because he objected to the
City Marshall and his associates
beating a Negro on the streets.
The Negro population is up in the
air over the unusual situation
which has developed recently in
regard to them. They have APP
pealed to Sheriff Carl Taylor for
action. Sheriff Taylor has shown
a very unusually kind attitude
towards the Negro population,
and it is hoped that through him
this brutal and dastardly meth
cd of dealing with the Negro
citizenship will be halted.
| FORREST CfTY.-During the
opening Of the Regular Baptist
State Convention, of which DR..
! j. r. Jamieon of Morrilton is the
president. at Salem Baptist
Church in this city, The Reverend
Minor Cole, pastor Of First Bap-
fist Church (white) was called
upon to welcome the large dele
cation an dspeak in behalf of the
white citizens. He found him
self in an almost unWelcome at
mosphere when he apparently
thought he was appearing before
Bailey Shows. The white pastor
appeared as if he was called up
on to tell fairy tales and Ante
Bellum jokes that ended up with
the epithet Niger" Many in
the large delegation showed their
dislike by walking out while ne
spoke and showed all signs of the
old southern tradition that he felt
as If he was talking to his in
feriors just up from slavery.
HOPE.-In this little city where
the largest watermelons are
grown there are other unusual
things going on. 1t is reported
that there are certain Negro Wo-
men IN the city that Negro men
are AFRAID to say anything to be-
cause they are having dealings
with certain white men in the
city. 1t is said that the City
Marshall, who has a Negro driv-
ing for him at nights, has been
keeping a Negro woman for sew
eral years and heard that a Negro
man had been talking, went to
him and asked him, DO you want
to live to be an old mani" YES
sir, Boss Well said the Mar
shall, "YoI had better keep quiet
about me and that woman This
information was given out by
several Negroes of the city of
Hope who have watched the sit
uation through the months, but
did not want it known that they
told it.
