The Board couldn't always do what everyone wanted it to do, be- cause there wouldn't have been any rationing or price control if we had done that. But the Board did, over some very trying wartime and post war months, try to see to it that scarce products were distributed 90 that every one who needed them got Q fair share. and that the mer- chants of this community had every help we could give them in holding ftsafH natmm ~svaeasaN, ass~nN ssssfaa ae.aakn

BOARD OF REGENTS T0AWAIT REGULAR
 1947 LEGISLATURE

Members of the Board of Regents of the University of Alaska con- vened in a special meeting at o'clock yesterday afternoon, to con- slider data presented the Board on the subject of branch of the University of Alaska in Southeast Alaska.
 Attending the meeting were An drew Nerland, Fairbanks, Board President; A. E. Lathrop, Fair banks, Vice President; Mrs. Luther c. Hess, Fairbanks, Secretary; w. G. Walsh of Nome. and w. T. Stuart of Ketchikan.
 Charles E. Bunnell, President of the University and ex-officia mem Der of the Board, was also present,
 Regents c. w. GilSon of Val deg and T. M. Donohoe of Anch- orage were unable to attend. Ner- land, Cochran and Walsh are mem bers of the Territorial Legislature now in special session Capt. La- throp arrived yesterday by plane from Seattle Mrs Hess and Dr. Bunnell left Fairbanks March 10 by PAA plane which took them to Seattle, and returned to Juneau March 12
 On a survey made early in the winter by Mrs. Dorothy Loftus and the Rev. A. B. Morgan of Fair banks, together with MT. Earl Me- Ginty of the Federal Works Agen- ey, Juneau, considerable volume of data was collected and present. ed to the Board. This had been supplemented by many letters and resolutions from residents of the Ketchikan and Juneau area.
 The item of $2,500 in the Session Laws of 1945, provided for the sur vey to determine the feasibility of a Southern Branch of the Univer- sity of Alaska in southeast Alaska, and at the time of the Appropria- tions Bill contemplated report from the Board of Regents for the regular session of the Legislature in l947.
 The concensus at yesterdays meeting was that the Board does not feel it has either the neces- sary information or the time within which to study the data now avail able. and to make a report to this special session.
 Before any report can be made all members of the Board must be fully informed. Capt. Lathrop had no opportunity to examine the com mittee's reort on the survey un- til last night. Regents Gilson and Donohoe have not yet seen the report, and are not attending the meeting here.
 Feeling that further study is ad- visable, the Board voted to make no recommendation as to location and feasibility of Southern Branch of the U. of A. in southeast Alaska at this time, but will make their recommendation at the regular ses- sion of the Legislature to convene in 1947.

GRUENING pR0TEST5
 SUDDEN CHANGE IN
 FISHING FOR SABLE

In protest against the sudden postponement last week of the opening date for sable fishing from March Is to May l, Gov. Ernest Gruening has wired the Depart ment of Interior in Washington to Go its utmost to get the order promptly rescinded."
 Stating that he desired to protest most emphaticaliy" against this last minute order of the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Governor said that fishermen had been preparing for weeks for the season, had come into town from outlying points, bought gear and provisions, and would stand to lose heavily if the order remained in effect.
 The fact that five boats actually left Juneau and the Fish and Wildlife Service was willing to have them proceed makes the situation grossly unfair" to the approxi- mately eight boats forced to re- main, said Gruening.
 He pointed to the fact that sim far hardships will be wrought else where in Alaska, particularly in Petersburg and Ketchikan.
 It seems obvious, his wire con- tinued, that if the Fish and Wild life Service contemplates issuing conservation orders of this type they should be given in ample time 10 obviate the unnecessary expen- diture and waste of time on the part of the fishermen involved.

 Previously billed as last nights top witness, Charles Burt Holland, light company accountant, followed Williams.
 Holland introduced a series of technical, statistical reports to ex- plain and justify his system of de- preciation. Hollands results were challenged by Stuart who has re- calculated the company rates in the light of his findings. The discussion prompted Stuart to comment:

Al REOpENING INDICATED AT RATE HEARING
J. A. Williams Tesfifies on Mines Power Contract
 Session End Seen

Last nights Alaska Electric Light and Power Company rate hearing before the City Council brought out the following signiti- cant facts:
 CD The Alaska Juneau Gold Mine will reopen, although no date was set.
 (2) The rate hearing will be over by next Monday.
 Joseph A. Williams, Alaska Juneau manager, testifying on the mines contract with the light com- pany, said:
 If the mine reopens, or rather should say iphen the mine re- opens, there will be power short age"
 Williams went on to explain that thes cost of power production is higher when the mine is not oper- ating and that present utility rates are necessary to keep the Al go- ing at all.
 Asked several times by City At torney Howard D. Stabler if the mine had an obligation to supply power to Juneau under terms of the peresent contract, Williams eventually replied:
 Were in the mining business. We shall continue to furnish power through the light company as long as we can, but if we need power for mining we may have to cut the city off. When we're back in oper- ation there will be power short age in March every year
 City Utilities Engineer Walter T. Stuart also questioned Williams,

WASHINGTON, March 19.-So many Japanese mines have drifted across the Pacific ocean into Aineri- can waters, West Coast fishermen want the Coast Guard to do some thing more about it.
 Fishermen wrote Senator Mag nuson (D-Wash) they are weary of dodging mines that apparently broke loose from moorings in Japa- nese coastal waters and floated 5000 miles with the current to the west coast.
 They complained that one fishing boat had to stand guard all day watching a mine, before a Coast Guard vessel came to destroy it.

He didn't stop to think, how.
ever. that what he stood to gain
by his double, II the contract was
set. was an insignificant few
points against the vastly greater
number at stake II his double gave
the declsrer information which en-
abled him to make the slam con-
tract That, however, is Just what
happened.
II West had not doubled the T.
Clubs, South would never have
made the contract. But as Il. was,
his job was easy The heart sim
gleton was led 10 the A. A brief
survey showed South that no dou-

thus assured 10 tricks.
