BUTTERFLIES CITY
 MAY BE MEATLESS

Many Commodities Are Now All Out or Sup
 plies Running Low

Juneau's grocery and meat mar kets, queried on current shortages of potatoes, onions, coffee, oranges grapefruit, lemons, butter, eggs, canned milk, flour, shortening, cooking oil and sugar, today drew a gloomy picture of a butterless town about to become meatless. Perishables are a minus commodity.
 Tie report varied surprisingly in the different establishments with the following general averages: no butter, almost no cooking oil tal- though one store reported months suppl of oil, the others were all ouD, very little flour, less than one weeks supply of grapefruit, three weeks supply of oranges and lem ons with some stores reporting only two days supply left and one well-stocked merchant reporting three weeks worth of oranges and two months of lemons); coffee shortages ranged from three days supply in one store to one months in another. with the average about one weeks supply.
 One merchant said that for the first time since he had been in busi- ness he had to limit restaurant pur- chases to 30 pounds of coffee each.
 All stores were comparatively well-stocked with canned milk and sugar, with one months supply the average amount, although one store reported four months supply of sugar
 Supplies of shortening also var jed greatly in different stores: two months worth including lard) all the way down to none at all were reported with 10 days supply the average.
 Eggs also varied greatly. one store had three months supply, another 30 days, while a third merchant said he already was doling out dwindling, one weeks stocks to regular customers only.
 The meat markets said they could take care of regular custo- mers over the Easter weekend, but could promise nothing for next week. One butcher observed that meat shortages were caused not only by the current ILWU dack tie-up but also by coast-wide packing house shortage, which had made meat scarce in Seattle. Beef, veal, lamb and offals already are short. this week.

Started Action
Thomas J. Magner, local business
man whose favorite sport in high
school and college was basketball at
Crosby, Manlirs and the University
OF Pennsylvania was primarily res
ponsible for the initiative that start
ed the sports ball a-rolling this year
in the state armory. He believed
that a real. top-notch basketball
team presented weekly TO local fans
on the big arTnory floor would be a
sound attraction for Waterbury peo-
pie, If the proper players and equip
ment could be had. So he went to
work.
Without proper seating capacity
that would be safe, roomy enough
and sufficient in number to allow s.
900 fans 10 see a hoop game at the
arnlory. Magner's plan would be
stymied. The Park Department had
the answer and equipment for that,
though. in the form Of brand. new
bleacher sections; ten of which have
been set up on both sides Of the
armory court: with a total seating
capacity for about 1000 people. or
10 a good start, when the bleaehers
were secured. Mr.. Magner was then
up against the strict order Of state
fire marshal Edward j. Hickey, who
had ruled that no more than $50
tickets could be sold for any event
until four new exits were broken
through and set up for instant use.
State Representative Daniel j.
Mahaney Of Waterbury turned out
TO be the saviour Of local sports in
that direction. for he has sponsored
bill which was passed in the last
session Of the Connecticut legisla-
ture which provided for a $4,000
appropriation for necessary repairs
to the Waterbury state armory.
Since then. he has secured $1,000
additional, which makes possible all
repairs. including the new exits or

porary use, tho Ugh not completed.

stand as the last Government wit

that certain sums represented

Counsel for the defense stipulated
that these sums represented Gold

Mr.. Sobeloff, in his closing state

have been "reprehensible," it did
not prove that Goldberg intended
to defraud the Government.
The Government charged that
Goldberg had an actual net income
