KADA?


Kada gi isaus taip laukiamas rytas
Ir pievoj pranyks saltoji rasa?
Kada man jaunam varu isvarytam
Nukris nuo peciu 81 nasta?!

Asaros grauzia lyg dumai axis
Siela lyg grandne tvirtai surakinta,
Paliko, kur bociu pills..
Kada patekes ten saulute auksine,

Kada pasibaigs benamio kelione,
Kada laimes sugrysiu keliais?
Stingsa jaunystes man gyslose kraujas,
Blaskosi pulsas prislegtos sirdies
Gestancios viltys gyvenimo naujo
Nyksta kaip rukas nakties.
Kada gi isaus taip laukiamas rytas
Skambes mus tevynej DANA?
Kada pro arimus kryziais kaisytus

RoyaIFamiIy Is Going 10
 South Africa

LONDON, Jan. 31.-England bade farewell for three and one-half months today to the Royal Family as they made final preparations lo board the battleship Vanguard for a rs-day voyage to South Africa.
 Travelling by special train to Portsmouth, King George VT, Queen Elizabeth and the Princesses Eliz- abeth and Margaret Rose were to embark late this afternoon amidst ceremonial display by the RAF, Royal Navy and picked military units.
 The Vanguard, the newest and largest of Britain's battle fleet, is sc1lsduigd to leave Portsmouth har- Dor before dawn tomorrow, escort ed by two cruisers, one destroyer and an aircraft carrier.
 Because of the cold wave, the King and Queen cancelled their plans for a state drive from Buck ingham Palace to Waterloo Sta ton, thereby disappointing many pomp- loving Londoners and pro- vincial visitors who, despite the bit ter temperatures, expected to show up early to be sure of good spots along the official route.
 Instead of travelling in a color ful horsedrawn procession, the Roy al Family chose to motor slowly to the station in order to receive the plaudits of the crowds. Large num- bers of people gathered along the 75-mile stretch from London to Portsmouth to bid farewell to the Royal Family.
 The Vanguard-ninth vessel of that name in the British Navy has been magnificently fitted out for its good will mission. Steel ca bin bulkheads have been brightly decorated, curtains hung over port holes and furniture moved from the Royal yacht into the Royal state rooms. No stops will be made before Capetown.
 South Africa is reported to be planning a huge welcome designed to surpass anything of its kind ever undertaken in that part of the world.

WATER SITUATION IS UNCHANGED; FAUCETS
 NOT ALLOWED OPEN

Juneau Water Company Super intendent Minard Mill today esti- mated that the water situation IS about the same as it was yesterday Houses above Seventh street are many of them, without water be- cause the pressure has been lower- ed by too many faucets left run ming.
 A statement appearing in yes- terday's Empire urged householders to keep their water taps open. This was in error, because if faucets are left running in the lower parts of town they take the pressure down to point where no water can be put in mains to houses in the higher districts.

By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-The one Georg- jan who increased his stature in the current undemocratic political tug of war now raging over the State Capitol in Atlanta is ex- Governor Ellis Arnall.
 Only handful of people know it, but Arnall was almost lynched the night Herman Talmadge staged his power "putsch." Arnall knew his life was in danger, yet he re- fused to call for help. For four hours he remained quietly in a tiny corner office of the Capitol rejecting pleas that he call out the troops to protect himself. Arnall had only seven people with him in his office to ward off an angry mob of bowling Talmadgites call- ing for his head. Once they burst in the door, got their hands on his clothes, sought to jerk him out of the room Calmly, Arnall per- suaded them to go back. Finally, Assistant Attorney General Dan Duke and State Guard Commander Collins urged Arnall to send for the troops.
 No" replied Arnall. This thing cannot be decided by force. The people are the only ones who can decide it. It may take some time before the people learn the truth about what's happening here to- night. but learn it they will. If we use troops there'll be bloodshed and that will play into tue pre-
