ROTARY B00STS
 LIBRARY DRIVE,
 NINE THOUSAND

Plans for the Juneau Memorial Library were given a decided boost today when nine members of the Juneau Rotary Club signed personal notes with a local bank for 1000 each = a total of $9,000-so that money would be available to the City Library Committee for immed- fate negotiations concerning a site for the building.
 The move followed lively dis cussion on the proposed library at the Rotarians' regular luncheon meeting in the Baranof Gold Room. Discussion centered mainly on the approximately $1,200 contributed toward the plan by the Rotarians several months ago when the pro- ject was first proposed by that or ganization.
 The unscheduled open forum on the subject resulted from announce ment that the Old's property across from the Juneau City Hall was up for option, and would make an ex- cellent site for the library.
 During the discussion the point was repeatedly made that the Libra " Committee could not be expected to negotiate successfully for the property when it has access to only the money contributed by the Ro- tary Club.
 It was also brought out that the Library Committee has full power to advance financial drives of any type to raise money for the library. At present no serious steps in this di- rection have been taken.
 The nine Rotarians who signed personal notes did so with the idea that money collected by the Libra ry Fund would liquidate their obli- gations at later date.
 We have started this project" said one Rotarian, and it is up to us to follow through
 Several possible ideas for raising the approximately S60,000 for the erection and maintenance of the library have been mentioned by various members of the Library Committee, but to date none have taken actual form.
 Elmer Rasn1uson of the Bank of Alaska at Anchorage was guest speaker of the day, but due to the unexpected activity concerning the library was not introduced until late on the program.
 He spoke briefly on Anchorage Rotary Clubs difficr lties in raising

MEEkS INDICTED
 FOR ASSAULT ON
 KELS0 HARTNESS
Charge Reduced by Grand Jury-Four Defendants
 Are Arrdigned

George Mee:.s soGay was Indicted by the grand jury here for assault with a dangerous weapon" upon Kelso B. Hardness. The true bill'' against Meeks was the only return made by the jurors in their report to the District Court this morning
 Meeks had been bound over on January 19, following a preliminary hearing before U. s. Commissioner Felix Gray at which he was direct ly accused by Hartness of a slash ing attack The charge on which Meeks was arrested and committed was cutting with intent to kill or wound" an offense carrying a more severe penalty than the assault charge upon which the defendant was indicted.
 Meeks has been held in jail here since January 8, when he was ar rested by City Police after the more than 20-times wounded Hart ness was found wandering down. town streets, his neck wrapped in a blood soaked towel The attack is charged to have occurred in Hartness' room in the Gastineau Hotel that morning At the pre- liminary hearing, Hartness declared Meeks had tried to shut him up from talking about the murder of Clarence J Campbell, Seattle man, found dead in the Scatter Tract here a month previous and whose murder still remains clouded in mystery.
 Meeks, at his hearing before the Magistrate, gave flat denial to all Hartness' charges and his counsel, William L. Paul, Jr, brought for ward three independent witnesses to establish that Meeks could not have participated in an attack up- on Hartness through testimony that he was present elsewhere throughout the hours of the fore noon of January B.
 The District Court session this morning was brief, Presiding Judge J. w. Kehoe recessing until 2 o'clock this afternoon following arraignment of four defendants in

GERMANS BEHAVE BUT KICKING ON
 ALLIED POLICIES

BERLIN, Jan. 29.-The Ger mans are becoming more out spoon in their criticism of AL lied occupation policies, Gen. Jo- seph T. McNarney, U. s. Con- mander in Germany, declared to- day, but their behavior thus far has been better than expected. per- haps because of an exceptionally mild winter
 The problem of displaced per- sons has become so acute, however, that McNarney, in his monthly re- port for December, urged immed- fate ntergovernmental action to take off American hands more than 250,00O persons who are stateless or otherwise unable to re- turn to their homes.
 Most German criticism, the Am erican Military Governor said, could be traced to general feel ing of self-pity on the part of the Germans, who irrationally expected the Allies must take care of them. ? While the exceptionally mild win ter has enabled Allied authorities to hold epidemics in check, the General said, the continued ab- sence of public unrest doubtless results at least in part from ability of the authorities to maintain basic food rations at an adequate mini mum level"
 The report conceded that the Americans were having difficulty in finding true anti-Nazis to replace busted Nazis, saying Hess than one percent of the Germans investi- gated in the U. s. zone showed de- finite evidence of antiNazi ac- tivity"
 McNarney said, however, that the first phase of denazification had been completed.

Mark Twain's Collar

Mark Twain, as Samuel Lang horne Clemens 1835-191O chose to call himself, was known to be eccentric - Mrs. Clemens called him "cartleSS" - in his dress.
 Mark went calling one day with out his necktie. He had been wis., iting Harriet Beecher Stowe, of Uncle Tom" fame, and he was not aware of his lack of haIberdashery until Mrs. Clemens called attention to it on his return.
 A little later Mrs. Stowe an- swered her door to find a messen- ger, who gave her a small pack age. Opening it, she found a black silk necktie inside, and a brief note:
 Here Is a necktie. Take it out and look at 1t. I think I stayed half an hour this morning without this necktie. At the end of that time, will you kindly return 1t, as 1t is the only one I have.

Admiral Haeberle said that the provisions of his order required that the forces personnel be cut to 10000 the first quarter of the current fiscal year, which began July l, to "about II 600 during the second quarter, commencing Oc- tober l; to about" $500 in the third quarter, starting March |, and to about" 5000 during the final quarter.
 Tt is obvious that the reduction in the force required to attain an average of 10000 for the first quar- ter will be drastic" Admiral Haeberle'S statement declared, land must be made at the earliest possible date consistent with giv- ing everyone possible 30 calendar days notice in a working status. It was, therefore, necessary to issue reduction enforcement mo- tice about July 13, and these were continued to be issued during the remainder of July into August, un- til a level of 12,0OO is reached.
 These, combined with those is- sued in June, will bring the total employment figure of 28,00O down to about 12;000 by October l, 1946."
 At the peak of it's wartime ca reer the yard housed a personnel of 65,000, including Navy and Ma rine personnel.
