GEMMILL THANKS PEOPLE OF JUNEAU
 SPLENDID SUPPORT

In a letter received by the En- pire from Lynn J. Gemmill enclos- ing copy of his letter of resigna- ton which has been submitted to the Attorney General, he says:
 q wish that I could be person. ally present to thank the people of Juneau for the splendid support they gave me in all ways during the pendency of my case and par ticularly during the trial thereof. For this Mrs. Gemmill and and my friends and acquaintances here are most grateful.
 T regret that the Attorney Gen. erals Office in Washington, D. c. does not see fit to fully recognize the import of a verdict of acquittal especially one rendered after only six minutes of deliberation. How ever, am glad to comply with the Attorney Generals wishes in the matter.
 Although it may be some time before we see our many friends there they certainly will not be forgotten. Our plans for the future have not yet been definitely made" The letter of resignation, ad- dressed to the Attorney General, Department of Justice, is as fol- lows:
 This will acknowledge receipt of your wire informing me that rein statement to active status even for limited time will not be made.
 My request for reinstatement was prompted by sense of loyalty to the people of Alaska who, am satisfied, were desirous of having me return to resume my duties and conclude the prosecution of several cases pending in the Territory However, your refusal to reinstate comes somewhat as relief be- cause it would be difficult for me to cooperate with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in view of the uncovering of certain of its regulations during my trial.
 T, therefore, submit herewith my resignation as United States At torney for Division Number One, Territory of Alaska, effective in- Inediately."

ANOTHER WEEK
 IS COMING up
 IN NEXT MONTH
"CIean Out Your Clothes Closet Week" Set for
 April 8 IA

NEW YORK. March 27.-Every homemaker can lift spring cleaning this year above the level of drab chore.
 The nationwide roundup, during April, of clothing desperately need ed by war stricken people overseas gives all women the chance to make life-savers of the outgrown, out-of- date, and spare garments and shoes that turn up while attics, closets and bureau drawers are being put in or der.
 April 8-14 is designated nationally as Clean Out Your Clothes Closet Week" and women are asked to ran- sack their homes for serviceable used clothing and bedding, and to take the bundles to the nearest clothing depot. Clothing rounded up in ev- cry community is to be sorted, pack ed and shipped to regional ware houses for baling and reshipment overseas.
 The national committee of the United National Clothing Collection includes such able, warm-heartec women as Mrs. Franklin D. Roose- welt; the actress, Helen Hayes; the | columnist, Dorothy Thompson; Mrs J. Borden Hartman, former Amer ican Minister to Norway; and Mrs LaFell Dickinson, president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs. Henry J. Kaiser, the West Coast shipbuilder. is national chair man of the campaign.
 1 In Europe alone, there are 30,000,- i0C0 boys and girls who have pitifully ! few clothes. Countless numbers have nothing to wear to school or for out door play, and in bitter weather they must stay in bed to keep warm Newborn babies, in many areas, arc wrapped in newspapers because their mothers have already been obliged to turn worn sheets and shabby kitchen towels into gar ments for their older children.
 In many lands, very little new clothing has been available at any price since the war began, and the enemy robbed helpless families of warm garments and shoes and stole the very blankets from their beds Remaining outfits have been worn to shreds.
 Leaders such as teachers and min- isters who lost all their possessions when they were bombed out or were bounded out of their homes also need presentable outfits so that they may again move in dignity among i bewildered people who need theii guidance.
