CAB HEAD ANXIOUS FOR MORE USE OF
 NATL. AIRPORT kC1

Judge Raymond w. Slough, Exc cutive Director of the CAB in AL aska is waiting in Juneau for trans pcrtation back to Anchorage after a routine trip to Ketchikan.
 Commenting on the present con- ditions of commercial air travel in Alaska, Judge Slough said he is anxious to see Alaska take full ad- vantage of the opportunities af- forded by the National Airport Act hy which Congress has provided for seven year program of matched funds.
 The difficulty in the Territory says Judge Slough, is that so few of the airports are in municipali- ties. For such program to be ef- fective, both the Territory and the municipalities are involved in the business of matching funds with the Federal government.

REPUBLICANS DINE IN HONOR LINCOLN
 AT COUNTRY CLUB

Gathered from all Four Divisions of Alaska last evening, Republicans of the Territorial Legislature and Juneau Republicans celebrated 15C strong the birthday anniversary ot Abraham Lincoln with banquet at the Salmon Creek Country Club.
 The celebration, duplicated over the United States at similar Re- publican dinners, was keynoted by Commissioner of Labor Henry Ben son in a tributory speech.
 With an awareness of the party's new majority position, gained in the recent elections, Benson reaf- firmed Lincoln's falua in the com mon man as the guiding principle of Republicans everywhere. The Republican party, both in the Ma ton and in the Territory" said Benson, enjoys grand opportun- ity to be of service to the people" "
 The speech was well received by the dinner guests, and seconded by members of the Legislature. Said John Manders, Anchorage attor- ney, We have gotten too far away from Constitutional government. D During past years, when the Repub- lican party was in the minority, said Manders, there has been gov ernment OF the people, but not enough BY the people"
 Postmaster Howard D. Stabler seconded Benson in saying, We have great responsibility" as the majority party in Alaska for con sidered and intelligent leadership of the people"
 Banqueters enjoyed several good stories told in full color by various members of the Senate and House. Representative L. E. Ost from Nome spoke the closing note when he told of a meeting he had in the Territorial Museum with the totem pole statue of Lincoln. The statue spoke to him, said Ost, and said Give everybody a square deal"

important is to get an expression of the people. He added that two years ago he voted against a sim liar referendum; now he thinks that was "a terrible vote.o
 The Fourth Division Senator stated that he does not know whether fish traps are an evil; he does think i've should know a lot more about them Interested part ies, however, will inform the voters. If" he concluded, we Is set up to determine the peoples rights some day there may be one" making that determination.
 COchran's Explanation
 Senator Coachran briefly review ed the purpose of the representa- tive form of government. The elect ed representatives, he declared, ''have the voice of the people it is for us to decide, and we are answerable to them for how we decide So-called popular govern ment, he said, is demonstrated in high pressure groups" He does not think organization of pressure groups should be encouraged.
 The initiative and referendum, Cochran continued, should be con- fined to purely political and not to local matters. He closed with his belief that the people of the Sec ond and Fourth divisions do not want this question referred to them . Vote Urged
 The only other speaker, Senator Walker, agreed with Senator Butro- vich and urged vote for the bill.
 Prior to taking up fish traps again this morning, the Senate spent considerable time reading its mail. which consisted mainly of wires supporting continuation of the Alaska Development Board-in- cluding a resolution by the Anchor age Chamber of Commerce, which the wire said expressed the view also of the majority of Alaska chambers. Senator Cochran ques- tioned that as a fact. The reso- lution has not been approved by the Fairbanks or the Nome cham Der, he cited.
 The Anchorage C-of-C resolution was read at the request of Sena- tor Gunnard Engebreth, with ob- jeotion voiced, at first, by Senators Joe Green and Edward D. Coffey. Green said his objection was to inclusion of the resolution in the Journal, as previously the body had voted not to clutter the Journal with communications. The issue of including communications in the Journal was raised by Senator Brownell, who obtained consent that a long list of them contained in Tuesdays Journal be deleted and that none be inserted in the future except by expressed will Of the Senate.
 Anchorage Wants Help
 At Coffey's request, wire from the Anchorage Council was read. It asked help in obtaining aid for municipal airport improvements for that city. A communication from the Nome Telephone Con- pany, addressed to Senator Charles n Tpnec uac raferred t0 the Trans portation and Finance committees

 tribution to the Territory.
 The original motion made by pr. Whitehead on the Chambers going on record as asking for defeat of Senate Bill No. was finally raised
 for standing vote and the Develop ment Board was awarded definite favor by the resulting defeat of Senate Bill No. 4
 President Norman Banfield turn ed the remainder of the program over to Charles w. Carter, who cleared the smoke of battle from the AIDE dispute with his inimitable touch of humor in carrying out the introductions of visiting Senators and Representative from the Fourth Division. Legislators intro duced were Robert Hoopes, A. F. Coble, L. F. Joy, Maurice Johnson of the House Of Representatives and Senator John Butrovich, Leo tNDsBts E- D. SOllIllS dll(l hllQl GW Nerland. The latter extended greet ing from the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce and voiced his admira- tion on the enthusiastic spirit of the local group.
 Guests attending today's lunch con, included Knute Thompson, of Petersburg, Grant Kelley Of Oregon, the Rev. Paul O'Connor of Hooper Bay, Wilfred Stump Of Ketchikan, Vance Blackwell, Lau- rene Knowles, Peter Wood and Burke Riley.
 Other important business report ed at today's session was Mayor Hendrickson's account of his re- cent conference with CAA officials on the local airport appropriation program. He revealed cost on im- provements on the present landing field facilities would approximate $75,000 in line with CAA plan for matching funds for improvements.

iCORLlnueu JrcHL rage OHeJ negative vote by stating First that he had always held the view set forth Tuesday by canned salmon industry spokesman w. C. Arnold, that this is not properly question that should be submitted to the people; nevertheless that he would have voted for the bill had the elimination period been left at five years. Now, with amendment to 10 years, the measure, he feels, has become propaganda for retention of fish traps" and may become an effective weapon for the fish in tereStc.
 Purpose Defeated
 Brownell rose again at the end of the discussion further to ex- plain ito new members" that for Is years he has favored abolish ment of fish traps and is still strongly for doing so at once" :" But, he said, as the bill is amended it defeats it's purpose"
 Senators John Butrovich, Jr. and O. D. Cochran took opposite sides on whether this is question that should go to referendum.
 The question we are voting on is whether or not we believe in a referendum" Butrovich declared. Whether it's five or 10 years does not matter" What is more

stayed on and, in storybook fash

AT THE time Wendler went into
the business, the Wurlitzer family
was providing music in the form
of band-organs, cumbersome in
struments that gave out half
player-piano, half-calliope music.
They were awkward gadgets,
however, given to baking at cru
cial moments, and the WurlitZers
finally abandoned them.
Wendler promptly bought out
the entire department, now equips
each carrousel with unit.
A musically informed Snowman
once complained because a record
labeled William Tell Overture"
and Carmen" turned out to be
Poet and Peasant" and I'll Trov-
atore." Wendler learned the error
was made 40 years ago on the
original Wurlitzer rolls. He went
right on mislabeling them, feels it
adds certain flavor.
North Tonawanda' 10000 citi-
zens are not exactly dazzled by
Wendler's business. The town lies
almost within heavy spray dis
lance of Niagara Falls. AS one
local merchant put it, they
got used to the Falls and after
that. it was a cinch to get used
to Wendler."
In appearance, Wendler is just
what you might expect OF a carrou-
sci king He is six feet tall, ample
around the middle, has silver-gray
hair and an irrepresslble laugh.
On visits out of town he can be
counted on to head for amuse-
ment parks. There he has the time
of his life watching other people
enjoy the ride he and they love
best - the foreground.

Almost every kid i'm the
country would like John
Wendler's job. He makes
lotion merry-go-rounds

CoBER, quiet North Tonawanda,
- N. Y. doesn't look like a Cir
Gus town. But it is - and all year
round at that. For North Tona-
wanda is where meuy-go-rounds
come from.
They've been coming from there
for 68 years and nobody knows
exactly how the business got start
ed. Not even John Wendler, who
rose from paint hand to president
of the worlds biggest factory de-
voted to making heavy amuse-
ment devices" This term includes
such items as Sky Rides, Loopers
and Moon Rockets. None of these
interest Wendler, who is strict
ly a merry-go-rOund man.
So far no private citizen has
ever purchased a merry-go-round
as a plaything. after ALL says
Wendler, cts not exactly some
thing you can put on your mantel-
piece" An average merry-go-
round weighs 10 tons, has a &c.
foot spread and will set you back
anywhere from $12, 900 to SIS, 900.
Traded For Tea
A CARNIVAL man once told Wend-
Ter he took in $1,000 a day with
his erry-go-round.
Said Wendler: Il always had
bunch | was in the wrong end of
the business
Nobody believed him. He'd
much rather make merry-go-
rounds, has built more of them
than any man on earth. He's had
carrouselsa at Buenos Aires, Munich.
Paris, once shipped big job to
Tokyo for carload of tea.
Considering tine beating they
take, merry-go-rounds are remark
ably long-lived. Twenty years is
the average. Billboard" the show

there are about 1000 in the U. S.

seems to have abated. Hurried ap-
praisals are never very profitable
yet we never seem to learn. At
ter some pretty venemous out
pourings, reaction is setting IN
and words of actual praise have
begun to be heard. Let the pendu-
lum swing-soon time will spell
out something nearer actuality.
What a confusing business this
Of appropriations ard budget re-
ductions! Minority members rode
the Majority more and more voci-
forously as July drew to it's newt
able close, on what they called the
failure to reduce appropriations
the full amount intended. Odd that
these very members who. shouted
loudest about this failure" were
the very ones who fought every
suggested reduction.
But let's look it over ourselves,
keeping the actual use of figures
to a minimum:
The Presidents January budget
message requested appropriations
of $31l2 billions and contemplated
expenditures in the fiscal year
1948 totalling $3712 billions. 1t WAS
this expenditure item that the
House proposed cutting by Sc bill
lions, on which agreement could
not be reached with the Senate.
That is quite = reduction VIII en
you consider that fixed eXpendi-
lures like interest on the public
debt, totalling almost Sc billions,
could not be cut. The actual saw
