 Aboard the Friendship Train-If the Republican National Conven- ticn, seven short months hence, runs into a deadlock between Sen ator Taft and Governor Dewey, then lot of Republicans may want to have careful look at the presidential possibilities of tall, tousle-haired gentleman who is now Governor of California.

The latest suggestion for getting
rid Of the city's starlings-hghting
them with aluminium owls-has
been studied and abandoned by
William A. Xanten, Refuse De-
partment director.
ITS only a dispersion method, !"
Mr.. Xanten explained. What we
need is something that will drive
them out Of the city. With alumi-
mum owls they just go to another
building"
The aluminium owls have been
tried IN a town in Illinois where
they were placed on Lodges of build
ings. Frightened by the decoy owls,
the starlinss few to other places
where they were shot.
Mr.. Xanten said cost of aluminium
owls would be excessive.
Since starting his battle with the
ktarlings a number of years ago Mr.
xanten has considered hundreds OF
ways to get rid of the birds. Chemi-
calls. balloons. high frequency sound
producing machines, shock pro-
ducers and Roman candles have
been studied.
So far no practical method to gel
rid Of the starlings has been found
Mr. xanten admitted, but the fight

No Americans Involved 50 Army Turns Affair Over
 10 German Police
By LYNN HEINzERL1NG

BERLIN, Aug. l2.-tR-U. s. in- vestigators today tabbed the case of the missing royal jewels of Princess Hermine, late widow of Kaiser Wilhelm II. as a dizzy merry -go-round of family intri- gue' and said the U. s. Army was dropping the matter into the lap of the German police.
 We have definitely determin- ed that no American is involved in the disappearance of the jewels" said O. R. Carlucci, head of the Armys Criminal Investigating Di- vision, and therefore we have no responsibility for pursuing the case any further.'
 American authorities also drop ped technical charges under which they were holding Fraulein Vera Herbst, 39, attractive friend of Hermine's son. Prince Ferdinand.
 Ferdinand touched off the melo- dramatic Investigation when he told authorities that 29 pieces O. Jewellery were missing from 2 priceless collection which Fraulein Herbst brought him from Her. mines home in the Soviet occu- patton zone last June.
 A search for the missing jewelry produced a glittering array Of jewelry concealed in the apart ments of Fredinand's friends and family. but failed to unearth any of the missing treasure.
 At one point Fraulein Herbst led investigators to the suite above her apartment where friend, at her request, exhibited a jeweled tiara of Hermine's and five other valuable pieces.
 Later Princess Caroline, sister of Ferdinand, turned over about 30 pieces of royal jewelry which she had concealed in her apartment.

Tax R ate Is y oied al I 0. Mill Maximum
Record Budget Adopted by Juneau Council Bonds
 May Be Tapped

The Juneau City Council last night wound up it's Board of Equal ization sessions by adopting a bud get calling for a record outlay of S422,2l6.72 for the year April 1, lo47 to March 3l, l948
 To meet the budget, the Council set the tax rate at the statutory minimum, 20 mills, and agreed to draw upon the City's nest egg" of S35,000 in bonds to make up any deficiencies that cannot be avoid eG.
 The bonds, earmarked some years ago by a previous administration for a new City Hall and left un- touched by intervening Councils, are not really expected to be cash ed however. The Councilmen adopted the budget as submitted hy the Finance Committee only after noting a number of expendi- lures likely to be pared as the year rolls along.
 An optimistic" estimate of the revenue expected to be returned by the 20 mill levy was totalled at s402,376 by the Finance group or that total S243,O0O is anticipated from taxes, the remainder from miscellaneous sources of income as fines, fees, rentals, Federal and Territorial refunds, licenses, deln- quent taxes, etc.
 Also included in the income fig ure and offset by listing in the budget is the S75,000 bank loan on which the City has been operating prior to receipt Of taxes for this year.
 Reserve Created
 This Council also made a de- parture in setting up a deprecla- ton reserve with a $4,300 starter and providing an $3,00O fund for contingencies and an additional 53,O00 for tax refunds.
 The Council did not get around to the budget until nearly mid night after spending the early part of the evening deciding on a num-
