 Have you ever wondered how Americas Town Meeting" chooses its discussion topics2
 Primary consideration in the choice of subjects is the fact that the series is topical, and aims to discuss controversial questions at the time when the need for public understanding of them Is greatest. Listeners throughout the country write in their suggestions, other recommendations come from a na- tional advisory committee made up of more than 100 representative citizens. Members of the audience present at the forums indicate their degree of interest in various topics under consideration. When @ sub- ject finally is selected. a program committee sets out to get the best possible speakers for the question, and @ research staff supplies to the speakers background reading material on all phases of the sub- ject. That is why, when "Ameri- cas- Town Meeting" takes up a question, the listener can depend on thorough discussion of an im- portant. interesting, timely subject.

 New Orleans, (UP)-If you find Q slip of paper in your break fast food tomorrow morning that beckons, Come to New Orleans, don't be too surprised-itll prob- ably be the work of Greater New Orleans, Inc.
 The organization is new one formed by a group of the city's leading citizens to put New Orleans on the map, but definitely.
 So far it's been known as "The City That Care Forgot" "The Crescent City," and "Air Hub of the Americas, to mention but a few. But GNOI probably will be out soon with some more ear- catching slogans,
 Plan 3-Year Drive
 The organization has laid plans for a three-year promotional cam paign to let the rest of the nation in on the oppoT~ unitieS offered by the Second Port of the U. S."
 With the Sugar Bowl just around the sporting corner, GNOI will be extolling the New Orleans weather for all It's worth.
 The Mardi Gras, springtime sea- son of colorful mystery, will be held in l946 for the first time since the Japanese attacked Pearl Har- bor. and much promotion is slated to reinstate the carnival as the na- tion's greatest tourist attraction,
 With peace-time international trade becoming 0 reality once again, Greater New Orleans is pointing out that the nations sec- ond port is also the gateway to South America, @ jumping-off spot for manufacturers and industrial ists who wish to promote their goods in Latin markets.
 And then there are lowered freight rates, and thousands oi skilled ex-war plant workers avail able to attract more industries to this area. The presence of new deposits of oil and gas in the Southeast will be heavy factor in GNOI's industrial layout.
 Tt will be hard-hitting, com prehensive campaign" President Herbert J. Schwartz, head of New Orleans largest department store, said. we want to tell the world about New orleans and what it offers"
 The group, Schwartz said would function with the Association Of Commerce and other civic agen- cles. Directors and initial incor- porators of Greater New Orleans, Inc, include newspaper owners, a university president, the head of coffee importing house, the presi- dent of a large shipping company and a score of other prominent businessmen.

DOCK VS.. BOAT

PUZZLES CITY
Council Defers Decision on
ALLEGATION OF Scarce
PiIing

Just ore bic question was posed
to Juneaus City Council last eve
ming at the first regular meeting
for this month-and it was allowed
to ride over to a later date, in order
to dig up more information on
which to base action.
The issue raised was whether to
undertake contemplated repairs to
the City Dock or to do more fixing
up at the Boat Harbor There Just
isn't enough piling on hand to do
both.
Councilmen conducted an inspec-
ton of the Boat Harbor during the
past week and found plenty more
repairs needed there, especially to
the Number One Float. But all
creosoted piling on hand have now
hesn driven, except 35 that had
been reserved for the Northland
Deck. Nineteen of those are report
ed long enough for use at the Boat
Harbor where there is danger of
several piling topping during the
winter.
One end OF the dock, however,
has been declared unfit for use and
it was planned to get a skidmounted

Council on another matter City
Attorney Howard D. Stabler submit
ted his report on the Northland
transportation Company's request,
received at the precious Council
meeting for the Citys approval OF
sub-letting space in the street end
CT the dock building, for use as a
bottling works. The attorney inter-
preted the agreement with the ship
ping company as only a license from
the City for the firm to operate the
/ docks as a public wharf, with no
! control over other use
( If space is to be let to Ideal Wildes,
Charles Sabin and associates, who
plan installation of a Pepsi Cola
bottling plant, the City should do
the letting and collect the rental it
self, the attorney contended. The
same procedure should apply to caro-
Transfer Company, which is occu-
plying a portion Of the dock building
as a warehouse.
!
Attorneys hands, with his being
instructed to write letter to the
proposed renters, to the effect that
if they can obtain the Northland
Company's agreement that they may
occupy the space, the City will rent
it to them.
Wallis, Cars, Poles, Jail
Other matters disposed Of by the
City Council last evening included:
Approval Of extension of wood
sidewalk and steps up the south side
Of Third street to the property of
Frank slime, with repairs to the low
er section of the present stretch OF
walk there.
Clearing of parked cars off South
Franklin street opposite the area
being used for construction work on
the new cold storage building; sew
eral traffic tie-ups having resulted
recently.
Action to see that telephone poles
be properly located along areas
where new sidewalks are being in
stalled.

ment to conduct tests on motor We
hicles to clear the streets OF danger

Discussion of construction OF a
padded cell in the City Jail once

driver to make repairs there as soon
as possible.
Fender Piling In
City Engineer j. L. Mcnamara re-
ported that driving of fender piling
at the dock has now been complet-
ed and he expects new n1ooring pill
ing will be in tomorrow, leaving the
driver rented from ". Cole free
to go back to work at the Boat Har-
Dor if the Council should have seen
fit.
Mayor Ernest Parsons suggested
thar, since both jobs cannot be done
until more piling are obtained, the
Boat Harbor work be carried out as
more urgent and the unused por-
ucn Of the dock fenced off as I'M
safe.
Councilman Ed Nielsen took
contrary stand, feeling that the City
should live up to its agreement with
the Northland Transportation Com
pany to keep the dock in repair and
anyway, there isn't nearly enough
piling available to more than scratch
the surface Of the work required at
the Small Boat Harbor. He fay
cred letting the harbor go as is until
next summer, then floating a bond
issue to cover a complete job on the
harbor That way, the City should
save considerable on costs through
letting a contract for the whole big
Job, he maintained.
No decision was reached, as the
decided to make full
heck on the cost of the force
account driving done to date, be-
ore committing themselves even to
he extent of putting in an order for
more piling.

The former German soldiers who

by the Americans under "a project
identified by the Army code name
Operation Skinny" They were
called back after International Red
Cross charges that they were being

The charges resulted in Gen.
Eisenhower hating more transfers

take back those unfit for labor.
The French have insisted that most

ANDREW PETERSEN TELLS UNUSUAL BEAR STORY

Andrew Petersen, homesteader and trapper at Salmon Lake re- ports an unusual bear story.
 While travelling with his dog team in that district he caught up with three bear cubs whose mother he had killed some time before. The dogs became very ex- cited and downed one cub and be- came so tangled up with it that he was unable to shoot without en- dangering the dogs. The second cub was fired upon and was hit three times in the trump but was not injured apparently as it mere ly turned around and rubbed that portion of its anatomy with its front paw as if it has been stung by an extra powerful mosquito. Eventually all three bears ambled away without any of the dogs be- ing injured, although they were thoroughly tangled up.
 The lack of viciousness on the part of the bears was a surprise to MT. Petersen, who expected to be attacked when his gun was empty.
