GUILT PLEADED
 BY TWO FELLOWS
 IN COURT HERE
Burglar, Forger Waive h. ditfment-To Be Sen-
 fented Friday

Taking advantage of streamlined procedure under new Federal Court rules to cut short their time in jail here before beginning service of sentences, two offenders pleaded guilty to felony charges in the Dis trict Court here this morning. Edmond R. Roberts and George A. L. Johnson elected to waive in dictment by grand jury and were arraigned before Judge J. w. Ke- hoe. They also waived time for pleading to filed informations and immediately entered pleas to guilty as charged-Roberts to six counts of forgery, Johnson to one count of burglarly. Attorney Albert White was appointed as counsel for John son and M. E. Monagle was named to appear for Roberts. Sentencing of both pleaders was set for Fri day morning at 10 o'cloca.
 United States Attorney Patrick J. Gilmore, Jr., advised that Paul Johnson, who is accused of being involved with George Johnson in burglary of a liquor display count CT at the Juneau Liquor Store here, is not expected to be prosecuted on the local burglarly charge on which he has also been bound over. Paul Johnson, Gilmore said, is to be re- turned to a Federal Penitentiary as a parole violator, to serve the balance of a 15-year term for manslaughter.
 Also given a brief hearing before the Court here this morning then continued until 10 o'clock tomor- row morning, was the return of 8 writ of Habeas Corpus issued to Louise Williams of Haines, who complains of being illegally inn prisoned without trial. The peti- tioner was released from the Fed eral jail here last week after serv- ing out a six months sentence en- tered by Haines Commissioner Ross Hevel. She also served IA days on a $500 fine and paid the balance be- fore release.
 Found guilty by Commissioner Hevel, the petitioner was origin ally sentenced on charge of dis orderly conduct to six months in jail and fine of $500, but the fine was later amended to $500, the maximum provided by law.

W00DLEY TELLS OF
 OPERATION PLANS
 pROp0SED FOR pNA
Better Facilities, Also Re- duCfion in Fares Between
 Juneau and Elsewhere

A. G. Woodley, President of Pa- cific Northern Airlines, arrived in Juneau today aboard one of the company's coastliners enroute to the States to complete plans for the expansion of operation for his company between Juneau and An chorage
 The recent decision in the Pa cific case granting Pacific North ern Airlines a permanent certifi- cate to operate between Juneau ard Anchorage now puts the op- oraticn of this company into Juneau on a permanent basis" MT. Wood lev said. Tn the past Pacific Northern Airlines and Alaska Air lines have been operating scheduled flights between Anchorage and Ju- neau on a temporary authorization cnly and such authorization was revocable at any time.
 Tn choosing Pacific Northern Air lines as the carrier to serve Ju- neau on a permanent basis, the Board has withdrawn the tempor- ary authorization and all opera tions of this temporary nature have been discontinued effective Aug ust 20
 Now that Pacific Northern has been chosen as the carrier to per manently operate the route between Juneau and Anchorage, it will be possible to put in larger and bet ter facilities in Juneau and will help materially in developing avi- ation in this part of the Terri tory"
 MT. Woodley further stated that probably the most important fea- ture of the new service, and one of the most interest to the people of Juneau, will be drastic reduc- tion of fares between Juneau and all points served by Pacific North ern.
 Pacific NI,thern Airlines has consistently been leader in sup plying a better class of service will lower rates, MT. Woodley said. This has been possible, he point ed out, because of the steady growth of air travel between the Capital City and other points served by Pacific Northern Airlines.

DIFFERENTIALS ARE DISCUSSED
 HERE BY NFFE

Members of the National Feeder. ation of Federal Employees, Ju. neau division, this noon voted ap- proval of the Executive Board'' recommendations relating to Pay Differentials for Civil Service em- ployees outside the continental limits of the United States. Holding their regular monthly luncheon meeting in the Baranot : Gold Room, members discussed the pay differential topic in detail fol- lowing a background summary of [ the subject given by Ava Black erby, President of the Juneau jLfanch of NFFE.
 President Blackerby said the pay differential topic first came up in | 1924 when it was inaugurated to ! two or three civil service agencies Since that time it has undergone many extensions, revisions and gen. eral changes.
 ] An executive order extended it as a temporary measure for all civil service employees in Alaska during the war and six months | thereafter, effective in 1943. Due to apparent inequalities and cir cumstances such as cost of living that made the differential unfair to various groups of workers, the War and Navy Departments found the system highly unsatisfactory.
 Last July l. all pay differentials were wiped out for civil service employees not actually hired in the States Residents of Alaska anc persons who came to the Territory and were employed in Civil Ser vice work after their arrival war; not eligible for the pay differen- tials.
 The latest development returned the pay differential to all Alaskan Civil Service employees but asked for a thorough examination by the Bureau of Budget. All NFFE groups outside the continental U. s. are now asked to send in recommenda- tions for practical changes or item ized privileges under Pay Differen- tials.
 A letter from Delegate Bartlett on the subject was read by Miss Katherine Nordale.
 The discussion was preceded by musical program presented by vocalist Frances Paul, recently re- turned to Juneau from her studies at Eastman Music School, Roches- ter, New York. Miss Paul sang three songs accompanied on the riano by Mrs. A. F. Husted The program was arranged by Miss Ruth Coffin, acting program chairman.
 Guests, besides Miss Paul and Mrs. Husted, at today's meeting were: Helen Ivers, Peggy Brislawn George Beck, and William Craw- ford, Assistant Chief of Division o1 Fiscal Control, Forest Service Washington, D. c.
