Cusack of Anchor age, are in the city to make study of seaplane bases proposed for the southeastern part of the Territory. Wayave is Chief Seaplane Facilities Section, Office of Airports, CAA and James Cusack is Regional Planning Engineer for Region of the GAIA
 The two men arrived several days ago and since then have been hold ing conferences with various public bodies and governmental agencies in participation in the benefits of the Federal Airport Act, offered under the National Airport Plan and Program.
 Cusack and Wayave are making Q survey of some 30 existing and pro- posed seaplane bases scattered throughout the southeast section of Alaska, with major stopovers con- sidered at Juneau, Petersburg and Ketchikan. The two men are at tempting to interest public sponsors in matching funds with the CAA, which has set aside a large amount of appropriation for this purpose.

NEW TREND TO SOLVE LABOR DISPUTES
pROp0SE5 LAND,
 SOUTHERN ALASKA
 BE OPENED TO VETS

WASHINGTON Feb. l. Rep, Feden tD-Okla) has introduced legislation which would open 240, = GOO square miles of Southern Alas ka for homesteading by American War Veterans
 Himself war veteran and a memter of the House Public Lands committee, Peden told a reporter his bill was similar to one recently introduced by Rep. Lemke (R-ND) and that the two would work to- gether in seeking to expedite ac- ton.
 The legislation has two purposes, Peden said.
 l. To provide an opportunity for veterans by giving them "a place to have a homestead sufficiently large to provide for family of seven in accordance with U s. standards of living"
 9. To settle Alaska, which in my opinion is the first line of our defense" and to bring about de- velopment of resources which the United States now has and which are undeyeloped
 Pedens measure provides that a veteran, by living on the land for three years, can get title. If he has served two years in the army, he k given credit for two years occu- pancy. and would have to live or the land only six months. Dis abled veterans also can acquire land by six months occupancy.
 Veterans could homestead not less than 320 nor more than GAO acre; of agricultural land and not less nor more than 1920 acres of graz ing or timber land.

 On Sunday

Tomorrow's Groundhog Day again and those hibernating prophets - the groundhogs - are getting ready for their predictionis for the next six weeks of weather.
 Regardless of what the ground hogs may predict, however. Juneau residents are cautioned to lay in a gcod supply of fuel in their bunk CTS and look to the water pipes if they still have any.
 Indications today are that any groundhog foolish enough to stick his nose out in the Taku wind to- morrow morning will cast strong shadow on the snowdrffts. And that will mean, according to tradi- ton, another six weeks of ;rinter. Br-r-r-r!
 Back in the East the groundhogs' predictions will be noted in three pre-dawn excursions tomorrow by the Slumhering Ledge of Ground- hogs at Quarryville, Penn, the Grounosow Lodge at Allenton Penn, and the old time Unzsut- awney, Penn. Groundhog Club. There's quite a bit of rivalry be- tween the groups to be the first with the news.
 Weathermen in the East say, however, that new cold waves are moving in that direction as the Midwest digs itself out of the heavy storms which closed the books on January. Temperatures dipped to more than 25 degrees below zero in North Dakota and the mercury plummeted in other parts of the country
