64,000 people were served there during the past year. It did shade better than breaking even that year. Any housewife knows that's pretty good management.
 Like everything else, war has brought it's change to Ebell. During World War I the club dropped much of it's regular work and devoted it. self entirely to war activity.
 In addition to it's regular activi- ties, Ebell now maintains IS de- partments for war. activities. There is a Red Cross production center. Bathrobes are made for the Corona Naval hospital.
 The Club furnished day rooms for two nearby camps. It supplies food for three USO canteens. It also provides scholarships for six cadet nurses.
 Before the war there were daily activities at the clubhouse. Now groups are arranged so that mem bers can make one trip to accom- plish their purposes.
 New names of husbands and sons are being added to the roll Of honor, which stands in the patio. Frcra the last war there are 261 stars. F of them gold.

FORMER 5E(Y. OF NAVY E AGAINST
 DRAFT IN PEACE
Navy that Flies Voluntarily Is Best Bet, Daniels
 Tells House Group

WASHINGTON, June Hop ponents of compulsory peacetime military training found a supporter today in Josephus Daniels, former Secretary of the Navy.
 Daniels, 83-year-old Raleigh, N. c. newspaper publisher, told the House Postwar Military Policy Com mittee that we will never domin- ate in war by dependence upon the draft" Instead the World War I Navy Secretary, recommended air power. which he said could be built up by voluntary enlistments, IS the best protection" against possible future attacks.
 T would place the main emphasis on a Navy that flies, with adequate military strength on land and sea. If our country dominates the sky, no enemy can land on any part of our terrain,' Daniels declared.

kfW5MEN WANT INTERNATIONAL
 pRESS FREEDOM

WASHINGTON, June II = The American Society of Newspaper Editors threw it's support today behind the idea of an international conference to promote the free exchange of news among all na- ticns of the world.
 The society's board of directors adopted a resolution favoring such a meeting in Australia when con- ditions permit. The board acted on the recommendation of a globe girdling committee which said it discovered during a 40,000 mile tour a real desire in editors of most nations for more freedom of the press than most nations have heretofore enjoyed or permitted.
 Prime objective of the mission first of it's kind-was to have in- cluded in forthco coming peace treaties governmental pledges not to censor news at the source, not to use the press as an instrument of national policy and to permit a free flow of news in and out of each country.
 Reporting that they did not find much news freedom under wartime conditions, the committee said it was evident that many govern ments were controlling the press

 Much is yet to be done to put the camp in shape for the arrival of the large group of girls and formal work party is planned again for next Sunday, with small groups to put in work evenings during the week
 Still to be accomplished are: Com pletion of 28 remaining hunks; erec- tion of two porches, one on the dormitory and one on the mess hall; building of two stairways on the ends of the dormitory, installation of shelving; erection of a new latrine and reflooring an old one and in- stallation of stoves, Mir Keithahn reported today in stressing the need for services of many more volun- teers during this week

 Ebell now has five distinct forms of activity: the study department there are 16 of them; social wei fare, which includes the Ebell Rest Cottage association, practical relief and general philanthropy; scholar ships; the Monday afternoon pro- grams and Ebell Juniors.
 The Rest Cottage association has it's own quarters. It provides a pe- riod of restful convalescence for women who have no other means of affording it. During the last fiscal year 125 were aided.
 Gifts to the Rest Cottage from members and from grateful recipi- ents of care totaled S15,289 during the same period.
 Varied Study Group
 The study group include Ameri- can speech and drama, art and travel. Bible literature, book cham Der, Browning, creative writing. French, garden, lives and times, music, poetry, psychology, public affairs, Shakespeare and Spanish.
 Some members participate in a dozen activities.
 The Ebell Juniors, started in 1921, originally was for daughters and daughters-in-law of members, but was later expanded to take in young women from IS to 30.
 The number of Juniors is now the smallest in years 125- because so many young women, with their husbands in the service, must devote all their time to their homes and children.
 The Monday program, running from Oct. l through June, draws large atterdances. The luncheon is 75 cents. There is always a good speaker. There is a monthly assem- ply dinner, too. The dinner is S1.25.
 The club doesn't try to make a profit on its dining room, although

LOS ANGELES-This story be- gan in Los Angeles exactly half a century ago, when group of wom- en met to form a club. The Los An geles of those early days was a sleepy little town, with none of the diversified amusements of the pres ent great metropolis and adjacent Hollywood.
 However. this little group was not concerned with a whist-playing, party-giving, fun-finding society devoted to personal pleasure. It wanted to prove that women could work in harmony for the better ment of their homes, their commit nity, their state, their country and themselves.
 They called their club the Ebell of Los Angeles and each member gave but simple pledge: T serve V
 The club came into being with 65 charter members. Today six of those 65 are among the 2,200 mem- bers of Ebell celebrating the golden anniversary of the clubs founding
 Each of those 2,200 women gave the same pledge: T serve"
 The spirit is the same-only the facade has changed in 49 years. h. stead of meeting at each others homes, a necessary custom of the early members. Ebells present headouarters is million-dollar clubhouse on beautiful Wiltshire boulevard, in the very heart of Los Angeles.
 For Ebell, which never changed its watchword of service, has grown into one of the worlds larg- est women's clubs, if not the larg- est. So great has been it's growth that even its theater, one of the most beautiful wings of the club house, cannot seat full member ship meeting. The theater holds 300.
 Mrs. Justus A. Kirby, the clubs 24th president, and the other mem- bers refer to the founders as "de- termined optimists." One of their first cultural steps was to place TO pictures and casts in the old Ame- lia street school.
 In contrast to that small but earnest beginning Ebell now main- tains 25 scholarships, with students at the University of Southern Cali fornia, the University of California at Los Angeles and nearby Occi- dental college. The scholarship funds are outright gifts to the stu dents. Ebell wants them to have a good start.
 Ebell moved into the first struc- ture built exclusively as woman's club in 1897. Nine years afterward it built it's own clubhouse, which It occupied until the present structure was erected in October, 1927. dur ing the presidency of Mrs. William Read, one of the best beloved mem- bers in Ebell history.

FISHING Al kARLUk ON;
 NO TROUBLE

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, June B. tDelayed) The expected battle be- tween Alaskan cannery operators and the Department of the Interior over fishing rights in the Karluk Indian reservation has been averted, ac cording to w. c. Arnold of the Can ned Salmon Industry and Keith Roberts Of the Alaska Native Ser vice.
 Neither of the two men, who are now in Anchorage, could explain the present situation No attempt is being made to enforce the regula- tions preventing whites from fish, ing within l,050 feet of the shore and the same distance from either side of the mouth of the Karluk river.
 Two enforcement officers are on hand, but haven't interfered with the whites who are fishing within the reservation, the officials said today. The natives are operating their beach seines and apparently are not objecting to the purse seine operations.
 An ordinance, passed by the Kar- lux Council, has been posted at var ious points in the village. It re- quires that license be purchased by all reNdents and nonresident fish, ermen in that area, but to date no applications have been made.
 T have received no instructions in this matter Mir Roberts said, and am unable to make any state- ment regarding future develop ments."
