JUNEAU 5CH00L5 HAVE SET PACE
 IN N.W.F. DRIVE

If any special note of inspiration had been needed to speed the Ma tional War Fund campaign on to- wards its goal of final success, that note was struck late yesterday. It came in the form of an announce ment from Barney Anderson, High School teacher and local Lions Club President.
 Reporting for the Juneau High School and its Grade Schools, An derson stated that both schools had completed their drives. But that wasn't news the significant thing is that both schools have bettered their last years figures. The 1944 joint total was $16l,50. This year its up to S174.50, 8 nearly 10 per cent increase.
 Whatever the reason, UT reasons may be for thS generosity of our young people said Barney, "it ser tainly serves as an example to the rest of us. Naturally, anything that has such a big heart appeal in it as this campaign has, would win the support of the boys and girls.
 q do know that a lot of them have been deeply moved by the fate of fellows not much older than them selves who have been starved and tortured as prisoners of war in Japan and Germany. Of course they're eager to help those young sters through the Prisoners War Aid, one of the Funds agencies. Then, too, they've learned of the Funds services to the children of Norway, Belgium, Holland, China and other terribly destitute coun- tries; and they want to be helpful to them. also.
 Furthermore, don't forget that there will be a big number of the former classmates of these young people who won't be getting out of the Armed Forces for at least anoth- CT year. In the meantime, they wish them to have the best of every thing that the overseas USO clubs and the USO-Camp Shows can fur nish them. Personally, I'd say that this action of our boys and girls is not only generous and inspiring - it's also exceedingly practical!"
 Campaign headquarters in the store of Frank Hermann, it's chair man, was kept busy yesterday receiv- ing the reports of the drives pro- gress. The finest job of soliciting yet turned up is credited to Joe Werner and Emmett Botelho. These two handled the whole Highway from Norway Point all the way to Eagle River-and have completed their assignment. 100 per cent, de- spite the heavy rains of the past several days.
 Yesterdays totals reported by the various divisions indicate that Doug las will likely turn in its complete coverage in advance of Juneau. And it appears certain to be an excellent

WATERMELON BUST

BOISE, Ida. - Gov. Charles c. Gossett rolled up the rug in his office at the Capitol-but not be- cause jitterbugs were going to "cut" it.
 He had invited statehouse en- ployees to join him in an old fashioned watermelon bust, and he hates big laundry bills.
 The melon was a 103-pound gift from Arkansas Gov Ben Laney.

 The Lions Club has assumed the primary responsibility for the rais- ing of the 1945 Fund. In view of yesterdays statements by Anderson and Hermann, it's probable that Mondays luncheon meeting of the Club will reveal very encouraging total response to date.

Hire Monkey As City Aide

Kansas City, Mo-, March l3. (UP) Citizens were skeptical today about the existence of Peter, Q mon. key allegedly hired to clean the air ducts that run through the IS stories of the Jackson county court house.
 The monkey supposedly is one Of several belonging to Joe Ely, Q setlf' styled Russian gypsy from Tefre Haute, Ind.
 Ely contracted to clean the air passages and said he had four mon. keys to do the job The monkeys. he said, were equipped with brushes attached to harnesses and as they crawled though the tiny passages they scraped the dirt and dust loose.
 Then they crawled through again, this time equipped with gas masks and special vacuum cleaners to pick up the loose dirt.
 At first, Ely told county officials he would need his entire force of four monkeys and several men to do the job. He said the rate would be $22.65 an hour, but he guaranteed the job wouldn't cost more than $464.
 However, he later revised his story to say that only ore monkey and five men would be required for the job.
 Peter, the monkey he had chosen to do the dirty work, was sensi- tive little fellow who didn't like criticism, Ely said, and he warned news photographers that they could take only one picture of him.
 He gets upset at the popping Of flash bulbs," Ely explained.
 He also said spectators would not be encouraged, because Peter has to concentrate on his work.
 Some credence was lent his story by Frank Moore, building engineer. who said he remembered that sev- eral years ago monkeys were used to do Q similar cleaning job on one of the city's hotels.
 Presiding Judge George s. Mont. gomery was asked to put Peter and his master on the county payroll at $22.65 ar hour.
 But Kansas City residents waited suspiciousiy for Peter and show up for work today.

counsel for the town, stated the plaintiff gave notice of the acci- dent to the town on Feb. and sta- ute requires notice to . municipal ity on a fall on snow and ice to be given within 10 days. Referring to a plaintiffs claim that a max imum of 60 days is allowed for no- tice involving falls on a defective public highway, the defense attor- ney stated if snow and ice existed on the walk in question then 1t covered the alleged defect and the Issue narrowed down to one in- volving snow and Ice only.
 Attorney Martin E. Gormley of New Haven, counsel for the pro- perty owners, stated public side- walk was involved in the case and the duty to keep 1t safe rested with the municipality. He stated the owners did not create any con- dition that led to the accident.
 In presenting the motion for the church, Attorney Joseph Manfreda of Wallingford pointed out the roof referred oby the plaintiff was 90 feet from the edge of the Grinold property, He said jury would be subjected to conjecture as to whether the water which accumu- lated on the Grinold walk actually came from the church roof or from the sky. He referred to nec- essity of proof by the plaintiff that the water accumulated in more than usual quantities and that the flow from the roof to the sidewalk was more than normal.
 Judge McEvoy made no comments on the arguments, which were closed by Attorney Irving D, Johnson, who appeared for the plaintiff together with Attorney William K. Lawlor.
 On calling in the jury, the jurist commented the function of the jury Is to And the facts in the case and ic is for the court to determine what the law is and to instruct the jury on the law Stating 1t was incum- bent upon the jurors to accept the law as given by the court, the judge asked the purorS to retire to their chambers and make out a defend- ants verdict.
 Mrs. Kean, . second cousin Of Mrs. Grinold, claimed she sustained serious injury to her left leg, and will have permanent limp as result.
 The previous directed verdict was returned by a superior court jury May 10, 1924, for Dr. Francis T. Hayes, who was sued by Vincent Magro as the result of an infection which followed c tooth extraction, Judge Edward J. Quinlan pointed out there had been no evidence of gross want of care or lack Of opera tive skill on the part of the defend- ant.
 Earlier, on Feb. 8, l944, Judge John F. McDonough in common pleas court directed jury to re- turn a verdict for the American District Telegraph Go. in 6 suit by William Bradlow. The plaintiff claimed he was severely injured when assaulted by an employe Of the concern, The court ruled the employe was not acting as an agent of the concern when the assault oc- cured.

 ering provisions of a proposed state labor relations act.
 Several bills have been introduc. ed, with Democrats supporting one endorsed by both the CIO and Con- necticut Federation of Labor. Re- publicans hoped to get through a compromise on some of it's pro- visions SO that 1t would be accept able to both parties. Differences to be ironed out included definition of unfair labor practices on the part of both employer and employe.
 Senate Democrats were prepared 1t was reported, to insist on their own labor-supported bill If efforts at compromise fail.
 While there was little business for either Senate or House today. com mittees were rushing hearings on hundreds of measures affecting all types of legislation. Reports on many of these were expected during the week, although both chambers were not expected to get into full swing for another week.
 Gov. Baldwin, meantime assured leaders Of veterans organizations that the present program of the Connecticut Unemployment Com mission will be continued and that there was not need for proposed new coordinating agency.
 The same purpose, he said, can be accomplished through expansion Of existing facilities.
 He also announced that he fav- ored extensive rebuilding and con struction of highways through and around urban areas as a part of the states postwar highway de- velopment program. According to a survey, 54, per cent of all passen- ger car travel Is on urban streets, he said. The Governor said 1t "ap- peared sound policy" to improve those thoroughfares and relieve congestion.

Federal Bill Debate Neors
BY CORNELIUS RYAN

Detroit, March l2.-(UP)-The Senate War Investigating Commit tee, here to investigate the Man. power situation at war plants, pre- pared today to fly to Washington so the threc members can take part in debate on federal office bill.
 Sen. James Mead, D., N. r., chair man, said he and the other two members, Sen. Homer Ferguson R., Mich. and Sen. Hugh Mitchell, D.. Washington, would return to De- troit within two weeks.
 The entire session yesterday and last night was devoted to reports of loafing at Packard Motor Car company.
 The committee had visited the factory last Friday and had seen men loafing during the last hour of the day shift. No one denied the loafing.
 The company blamed the union The United Auto Workers (CIO) said that correction of the evil was a management duty. The Army said 1t knew about the loafing but approved overtime payments under cost. .plus-fixed-fee contract any, how.
 Bernie Irwin, Jr., and Fred Cog gin appeared before the commit tee with the checkerboard on which Ferguson had seen them playing Friday. Both readily admitted they were just well into the game when the senator saw them-"we each had lost thre emen"-and said they didn't work any harder at their work job because they were afraid of working themselves out of job.
 "The company has bene laying off men since last November" 1r- win said. And since the gov- ernment puts contracts under cost-plus basis, the management doesn't care if we don't hurry.
 Packard President George Chris Lopher said the company had ham, dled $448, ,000, 900 worth of war con- tracts and made but one per cent profit.
 M. F. Macauley, company produc- ton expert, said that the union had resisted re.timing studies which would speed Up production by as much as A per cent.
 Richard Frankensteer, JAW vice. president, charged the company with attempting to break the union by workers. The company also was provoking discontent among the accused of or-hoarding.
 It. Col. Raymond Anthony, AAF representative in the plant. said that certain union stewards re-. sisted the management.
