 LIBRARY I5
 PROJECTED
Rotary Club Announces Plans for Recognition
 of War Heroes

A $35,000 Memorial Library to be erected in Juneau as a tribute to the veterans of World War II heads tke list of Rotary projects for the ensuing year it was revealed at the regular luncheon meeting at the Baranof Hotel today.
 Other projects announced by Pres ident Herbert Hillerman included a Juneau town band and series of spot playfields to be set up throughout the city. Two other pro- jects of lesser importance are being studied and will be announced later.
 In selecting the Memorial Library as it's main project the Rotary Club was guided by the belief that the finest memorial to the heroes of this war should carry with it some means of ending war for all time. The lib- rary, through it's function of increas- ing knowledge and trust will be a great factor in bringing about con- dition of mutual respect, understand ing and brotherhood of all mankind which results in peace on earth, it was said.
 The Rotarians are aware that they alone cannot bring to fruition this most ambitious project of it's local history, hence expects to share the undertaking with all local clubs, lodges, societies and organizations so that it's success will be assured from the start.
 The need for a new city library for Juneau has been apparent for years. Lack of proper library housing has cost Juneau the loss of books ranging into thousands of dollars, it was said. Several years ago the Carnegie foundation refused books to Juneau solely because of it's inadequate li- brary facilities.
 It is believed that Juneau as a community will welcome this project and will support it to it's successful conclusion.
 Speaker for the day, Ernest Black, Consulting Engineer of Kansas City, who is in Juneau placing a valuation on public utilities, spoke briefly on the matter of valuation, of which he is an expert.
 Visiting Rotarians included Ernest Black and Henry Hogue, of Ketchi- kan.
 Guests were Walter T. Coy, theatre operator of Seattle, s. Y. Wong, of Shanghai, China, Walter Stuart, Ron Livingston and w. E.. Davenport.

FATHER SEEKS SONS RETURN FROM MOTHER
Writ Issued by Local Court Is Served on Seattle
 Woman Now Here

A mother who Gefied the law ol man is to answer to the Court here next Saturday.
 Mrs. Hazel A. Coy yesterday was served here with a writ of Habeas Corpus, issued by Federal District Judge George F. Alexander, ordering her to produce her 5-year-old son, Gary Guy Coy in Court here Satur- day. The writ was issued on petl- tion of Walter T. Coy Seattle theater owner and King County deputy sheriff-her husband.
 MT. Coy charges that his wife is illegally restraining his son in her custody at Juneau, following alleg- ed flight here with the boy to evade a ruling of the Superior Court ot King County, State of Washington.
 The father in Seattle seeks return of his son, citing that he was given temporary custody of the boy, pend- ing disposition of a divorce action now before the Washington court. Mrs. Coy, as plaintiff, obtained an interlocutory degree in the Seattle court, but on August g, 1945, Judge Chester A. Batchelor ordered that the father should have charge of the son.
 MT. Coy charges that in defiance of that court order, his wife brought the boy to Juneau and has since held him here, refusing to surrender the lad into his fathers care.
 Attorney M. E. Monagle, represent ing MT. Coy, petitioned here in U. S. District Court yesterday afternoon for a Habeas Corpus order to com pei the mother to bring her son into Court at 10 o'clock next Saturday morning-when the tots disposition will be settled by Judge Alexander.

Bloc Seeks
to Homstrinq
Must Bills
BY CLAIR JOHNSON

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 -
Up A group of Republicans
and southern Democrats united
in the House today to create a
new stumbling block for two
administration must" bills.
One of the measures would
provide another $3.50, 900, 900
for the United Nations Relief
and Rehabilitation administra-
ton.
The other Is a substitute ver-
sion of the so-called full en-
ployment" bill.
House leaders said last week
the two controversial pieces of
legislation are on a list of
must" bills to be passed before
a contemplated holiday recess.
The UNRRA measure already
has won House Foreign Affairs
Committee approval but ran into
criticism at a Rules Committee
session yesterday.
Committee members, includ-
ing both Republicans and south
ern Democrats, told a reporter
today they want action post
poned until we can get more
information a bout a lot of
things"
Reps. Cox (D-Ga.), Smith 3D.
Va.), Brown (R-Ohio) are among
the leaders of the move to delay
a House vote for the present.
1T seems to me that with the
United States contributing 72
per cent of the funds, we ought
to have more of the authority
in the UNRRA councils" Smith
declared.
The move to postpone action
on the jobs bill is centered in
the House Expenditure Commit
tee.
That committee has been con-
sidering a subcommittee meas
ure which would enunciate a
Federal policy of maintaining a
high level of employment" for
American job-seekers.
Committee members disclosed
to reporter that three motions
already have been made to de-
lay House consideration of the
measure until next year.
Once the motion failed by a
10 to 9 vote and the other two
times the margin was almost
as close, they said. The inform
ants asked that their names not
be used because the sessions
were closed ones.
They added that their action is
backed by the House Republi-
can Steering Committee, and a
member Of the latter group con-
firmed this.
Chairman Manasco (D-AIa. }
told newsmen he still hopes to
get some type of bill" to the
house by next week.
