LABOR SPONSORED
PARTIES ATTRACT
MANY JUNEAUITES
Crowds Overflow Capitol
Theatre and Clio Hall for
Labor Day Holiday

A crowded theatre party and an
equally crowded dance hall were
the results yesterday of arrange
ments made for the Juneau Labor
Day celebration by the combined
efforts of the AFL and CLIO Cen
trail Labor Council here.
The Capitol Theatre was packed
to the rafters at yesterdays matt
nee sponsored by TIE two labor
organizations and many were
turned away due to the fact that
some adults attended bringing
children too small to enjoy the
show. Their occupancy Of seats
prevented other youngsters from
taking part in the free movie.
At last nights dance, also
sponsored jointly by the two or
CARNATIONS, a huge crowd filled
the Go Hall to dance to music of
an orchestra furnished by the
local Musicians Union.

LIGHT GEAR CATCH
OF C0H0 STIR5 UP
LOUD CONTROVERSY
DoWnbeaf Publisher S Feat
Provokes Fly Rod
Speculation
BY CARL L. BIEMILLER

BY CARL l.. BIEMILLER
Associate Editor, Holiday Magazine
Despite the nice fish taken by
the Outdoor Writers In their own
Salmon Derby conducted last Sat
urday for prizes ranging from the
$3.50 wristwatch presented by the
PA A. through a grizzly bear rug
and down to ivory souvenirs, the
outstanding fishing event, accord
ing to a census conducted among
the visiting sportsmen was the feat
of Glenn Burrs, Chicago publish
er of Downbeat Magazine.
Burrs, using a spinner and a
light bamboo bait casting rod and
reel with u pound test line
took a seven pound, eleven ounce
cohoe. Such tackle, in contrast
to the heavier trolling gear used by
the more orthodox fishermen, in
dicates the skill and the incredible
sport involved in boating his fish
His fishing companion, Stu
Pritchard, travelling representa-
tive of the South Bend Bait Com
pany, was the only other contes-
tant using light tackle. He was
less fortunate than Burrs, taking
nothing but a drink or two all
day.
Burr's feat, however, spanked a
furry of controversy and expert
mental theory among the Al out
door writer's beating up the nearby
waters. Weather permitting, many
are prepared to beat Burr's brains
out with the same sort OF gear
In fact, some of the harder OPP
timistS, despite their experience SC
far with the hard charging sal
mon, are now talking about using
fly rods.
ThatIl be the day, brother.

homa, however, expected some re-
lief today.
However, throughout the rest OF
the nation readings were pleasant
and humidity was low. The mid
west and east expected tempera-
lures generally in the 80s today
with more of the same on tap for
tomorrow, and northern sections
weren't expected to get much above
the high 70's.

Shipping Issue
At Ketchikan, Saturday, two men,
bers of the Senate Small Business
Committee said they would introduce
bill in the Senate early next ses-
sion to repeal Section 81 of the
Jones Shipping Act in an effort to
assure Alaska uninterrupted ocean
shipping.
The Senators, Homer Capehart
Chairman of the subcommittee on
newsprint, and Allen Ellender, said
adequate low-cost transportation
was necessary to develop any new
country, and the new pulp industry
could not develop here without it.
Not only are we convinced Alaska
never will develop as it should until
it has uninterrupted shipping, but
we also find that the present interim
agreement with three carriers sery-
ing Alaska deserves full investiga-
ton" they said.
Section 81 of the Jones Act for
bids Canadian ship to carry freight
of American origin to Alaska, al
though these ships can take Ameri-
can goods to any other American
port.

development of the Territory.

Lands Committee went back aboard
the Brant later last evening, at
AUX Bay, for an overnight trip to

ITALIAN HALL
MAY BE RESTORED

ITALIAN hall, located in the city
hall, may yet be restored enough
to be put back into practical use
That was the opinion yesterday
of city officials as City Manager
j.. r. Benson held out hopes that
the Federal Housing Authority
may come to the aid of putting
the hall into condition to allow
concerts, lectures and dramatic
productions to be staged there.
Costs of repairing the balcony,
walls and the ceiling may run as
high as $25, 900, contractors have
estimated. Application for funds
have been made by the city to
the FILA.
Samuel Selden, director of the
Thalians, has placed with the
city council a letter urging con-
tinued action toward repair Of The
hall.
City authorities pointed out, how
ever, that many similar projects
had been denied recently by the
FILA because Of lack of funds
occasioned by congress- action in
slashing expenses.
