 While Lewis sat silent in a jam med courtroom, UNIV counsel Well ly K. Hopkins argued that Colds borough lacked jurisdiction both to issue the order requiring Lewis to rescind bis no-contract notice to the government which set off the coal shutdown and to issue the con- tempt citation which followed
 iiltll tllilCuilCtu lfldt Lewis and the Union had taken no action to comply with the courts crder that the no-contract mo- ticc be withdraw and were ready to go to trial which ,migl1t result in punishment of the union cllief ii convicted of con tempt s
 Hopkins attempted however, to delay the trial date. He said the union has had no opportunity to read the government argument. A bulky hrief was presented at the start of the session by Assistant Attorney General John F Sonnett
 Hopkins declared also that sons union counsel were out of town and would not be ready
 Sonnett arose abruptly from the government counsel table and told Goldshorough the government would object to any delay in view of the strike emergency.

 Contrary to the governments position. Hopkins argued that Lew is notice to Secretary of Interior Krug terminating the UNIV con tract was both legal and proper" He said also that neither Lewis nor the union had taken any action in compliance with the courts or der to withdraw the cancellation notice

CANADA N

 GALL DOWN
Sen. Mdgnuson Talks Out Concerning Efforts 10
 Get Highway

VANCOUVER, B. C., Nov 25.-U, s. Sen. Warren G. Magnuson tD- Wash) struck out today at what he termed the "backwardness and traditional disinterest" of the Canadian government at Ottawa in development of the Canadian west and said there is "a great danger in this Ottawa attitude for the people of the state of Washington
 becoming less important in the Alaska supply picture"
 Magnuson, here to attend the Pac- fife Northwest Trade Association meeting today, said the attitude of the Canadian government places an almost insupportable difficulty in the way of joint American Canadian construction of a direct highway through British Columbia linking the Pacific Northwest states with Alaska"
 The Senator said he sensed a feeling they didn't want to open up the Canadian north"
 Twice, Magnuson said. the Can adian government has turned down American offers to participate in financing of overland communica- ton through British Columbia to Alaska and the Yukon territory.
 We went to Ottawa in l943 and offered to build railroad from Prince George, B. C., to. Alaska, aid they told US fl we had that much steel, they would prefer to get it in the form ot sheet steel to build their ships the Sena- tor said.
 Earlier this year, he said. he went with Alaska's Governor "at the sug- gestion of President Truman and Secretary of State Byrnes' to ar range for establishment of com to allocate costs of con structio;' of highway between Prince George Whitehorse, Y. T.
 We were prepared to suggest that. the United States contribute a third of the cost and that the other two thirds be divided between the B. c. Provincial government and the Federal government. Brit l-s. l.. i. ing. but Ottawa said no"

kENDENHAlL, DREDGE
 LAKES ARE MEGA OF
 SKATERS ON SUNDAY

Ice skating took Juneau fresn- air enthusiasts out by the hundreds over the weekend, to Mendehall and Dredge lakes, where the ice was thick and smooth.
 As many as 5l cars were parked at one time at Mendenhall Lake
 skaters cabin on Sunday, and the near section of the lake thronged with skaters of all ages and abil< ities. Forest Service markers placed several hundred yards from shore late last week marked only a talk ing off point for many of the skat- CTS, who were able Sunday after noon to go more than milo, clear to the face of the glacier with thick ice all the way.
 One novelty that attracted quite little attention and envy was a small home made ice-scooter, pow cred with gas engine from a washing machine The motor turn ed a propeller by belt drive, and the small craft made good speeds across the ice with one passenger It looks today as though snow may blanket the ice, but the hun dreds of devotees may get out to scrape off the snow if it doesn t get very deep.
