Purchase or Utilities Is DecisiueN Defec
THANKS GIVEN
 JUNEAU VOTERS BY HENDRICk50N

Shortly after 10 o'clock last night, from the news room of the Empire Mayor Waino Hendrickson broad cast over KINY the following ex- pression of thanks to the voters of Juneau.
 While returns are yet incom- plete, it is by now certain that the people of Juneau have decided to return me to office for another year, along with the candidates for councilmen on the Peoples Ticket Joe Thibodeau, Burr Johnson and Ed Nielsen
 Tt is also certain that the peo- pie have decided overwhelmingly against public ownership of any of this city's private utilities.
 For myself, and on behalf of the other successful candidates on the Peoples Ticket, I wish to thank the voters of Juneau for their con- iidence in our administration and program We pledge ourselves to fulfill our duties to the best of our ability during the coming year While our accomplishments have not been spectacular. we believe they have been sound and for the best interest of the most residents of Juneau.
 As for the utility question which aroused some bitterness in the pre- election campaign, we believe that this matter has been given a fair hearing, and the people have ex- press,d .heir opinion at the polls. Their wishes will be carried out. Their mandate is that the majority of the people, taxpayers and non- taxpayers alike, are not in favor of purchasing the private utilities. The question has been answered, the proposition is now a thing of the past
 While it is true that the former administration expended the sum of $15,000 to obtain expert advice on facts and figures pertaining to these utilities, it should be remem- bered that this money did not go to waste since the facts obtained help ed to secure for the users of elec- tricity in Juneau an estimated an- nual rate reduction of $16,000, so let there be no criticism on this score directed against those who were active and instrumental in bringing the utilities question be- fore the voters.
 Once again, may I express my thanks, and those of my fellow candidates, for the confidence ex- pressed in them by the voters of Juneau, and pledge that this con- fidence will not be betrayed.

MATINEE SHOW I5 PLANNED INSTEAD
 OF EGG HUNT SAT.

Weather conditions have forced revision of Kiwanis Club plans for the Easter Egg Hunt in Ever green Bowl, which had been scheduled for Saturday afternoon.
 At the luncheon meeting this noon ir the Bubble Room Terrace, Kiwanians voted to make ar engagements for a free matinee show at the Capitol Theatre to which all youngsters under 10 years of age will be admitted free.
 The management of the theatre has agreed to put on the pro- gram several additional short sub jects and cartoons. After the show, Kiwanis members will pass out to the children the 90 dozen eggs which have been dyed for the pro- jected hunt.
 Reason for the cancellation of the hunt in Evergreen Bowl is that the snow which fell last night will scarcely have time to melt before Saturday, leaving the Bowl soggy and wet at best, and certainly not ideal for an Easter Egg hunt.
 All youngsters of the Gastineau Channel area, including Douglas and Glacier Highway, are invited to the afternoon show
 Bill Walker was appointed to represent Kiwanis on the commit tee which will make plans for the Independence Day celebration. in Juneau, in compliance with let ter from the Juneau Merchants Association.
 Don Donnelson of Portland was a guest at the KiWanis luncheon this moon.

The W aShinqton Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON Mondays sec ret caucus a week ago of House Republicans was a bowling success largely because the man who was expected to howl the loudest against the Knutson tax bill was not on hand. Michigan's scrappy Repre- sentative Al Engel did no show up-probably because he did not want to be bound by the vote of the caucus.
 Otherwise the turnout was large Speaker Joe Martin of Massachu- setts opened the session by remind ing the GOPsters that the Repub- licans are pledged to reduce taxes and Government expenditures.
 "The House can be proud of it's record he said meaningly. Joe was careful not to mention the Sen ate, since custom dictates that no reference be made to the Senate in House proceedings. Martins $ listeners knew, however, that he was referring to Senate opposition to budget reduction and tax-cutting
 Ways and Means Committee Chairman Harold Knutson then took the floor to explain the tax bill. Although he usually bangs the table and employs extreme sar- casm, Knutson was sweet and mild as he went through the bill and orated that this was a bill for the wage earner. Republican cam paign promises and Republican tax policy will not be at variance, he said - the American workingman will be the gainer.
 Here New Jerseys Fred Hartley took his cue and promised that the labor bill to come from his Labor Committee will also be the wage earner's bill A few labor off cials might not like it, he said. but they are the people who live off labor rather than those with the interests of labor truly at heart.
 Representative Dan Reed of New York also spoke briefly on the Knutson bill, after which Repre- sentative Karl Mundt of South Da- kota warned his colleagues that "the New Dealers will come in here with false figures to discredit this bill.'
 They will attempt to show that the small taxpayer is getting far less of break from this bill than the big taxpayer" Mundt said. We know the sort of figures they will use-and I know where they come from. The fact is that the Treas ury Department has what amounts
