DEWEY WON'T BE BLAMED IN ACY
 OF C0NGRES5MEN
(Bv The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 Strong indications already have appeared that should. the public verdict go against the Republican Congess, Presidential nominee Thomas Dewey does not intend to take the blame. A close Dewey associate points out that the New York Governor had only fifty fifty success in his own recom- mendations to Congress.
 The spokesman is Republican Senator Irving Ives of New York. He said that Dewey made two recommendations. Both concurred with earlier recommendations of Mir Truman. The first was approv- edit called for Congressional ap- proval of the 65-million dollar loan to build permanent home for the United Nations in New York City The second failed-despite Deweys personal, telephoned plea. The recommendation was that Senate Judiciary subcommittee release a bill designed to broaden the base for admission of 205,0 900 Displaced Persons to the United States.

BILLS GO
 TO w HITE
 HOUSE NOW
Senator Ferguson Threat ems President Truman
 with Impeachment

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9--lRt-The White House remained silent to- day on President Truman's strategy for his next attack on the 80th Con- gress.
 While most presidential advisors say MT. Truman will sign the Re- publican Housing and anti-inflation bills, he is expected to criticize them sharply as inadequate.
 White House Press Secretary Charles G. Ross told reporters only that anyone can draw his own in- ference from the Presidents known attitude"
 The Housing Bill, less than the President asked of the special ses- sion of Congres, has reached the President. Ross said it will go through the usual routine of sub mission to departments concerned for their comments. The anti-infla- ton bill, also short of the Presidents demands. should reach him shortly.
 Some of MT. Truman's best friends in Congress urged him to sign the measures. N.s .,s-s s.sa.s '. .,3 .s
 They were passed by the special session which quit Saturday night after B days of political in-tighting on Capitol Hill.
 Senator Hatch of New Mexico, chairman of the Democratic cam paign Speakers Committee, told a reporter:
 Inadequate as these measures are, I still think they represent some advance over what we have now and I hope the President signs them
 Senator Lucas of Illinois, the as- sistant Democratic leader, said he feels the President will be "com- pelleo" to sign them.
 But am sure that when he does, he will be able to tell the country just how inadequate and how mea- ger they are,' Lucas declared.
 But the Republicans had a ready answer to anything MT. Truman might say about inflation--a con- tention that he has hampered con- gressional investigations into Com munist activities in the government.
 Senator Ferguson (R-MICH), who headed one of the inquiry commit tees, put it on the line with a charge in the Senate's closing session that the President had thrown up "an iron curtain between Congress and the public business"
 The Michigan senator said his committees investigation had been stopped by MT. Truman's refusal to permit government agencies to turn over records of persons accused of Communist activities.
 Congress" Ferguson shouted to his colleagues, "is rapidly being pushed into the intolerable position of having either to legislate through a blind spot or compel the President to answer for his conduct in im- peachment proceedings"

z WASHINGTON COP Senators locked themselves inside the Sen- ate caucus room for three hours the other day to work out a legis- lative formula that would pacify the voters and still let Congress go home early. Here is an inside account of what happened at the meeting:
 Sharpest clash was over the Dis placed Persons Act which President Truman called anti-Senetic and anti Catholic. West virginia's s Chapman Revercomb, author of the act, defended it vigorously. He quoted some Catholic bishops as saying it wasn't anti Catholic, and excused the anti-Jewish features by claiming 65 percent of the post war immigrants have been Jews. They have been admitted to this country under the regular immi- grafton quotas, he explained.
 Revercombs act twill admit 200.- 900 non-quota refugees. but only these who flocked into Germany before Dec. 9, 1945, will be eligi-

4sks For Game Refuge On Admiralty Island
ROBERT W. GRAHAM i HERE TO COMPLETE | ORGANIZATION, JCC

Here to complete plans for the Territorial organization of the Al aska Junior Chamber of Commerce, Robert w. Graham. Seattle attorney and Vice. President of the National Junior c of c, was n Juneau over the weekend consulting with the local Junior c of c group.
 With three local organizations necessary to qualify for a State or ganization formed in Juneau, An- chorage and Fairbanks and fourth group forming at Nenana, plans for Territorial convention in Fair banks September 4, 5 and 6 have been formulated and State char ter will be presented to the group at that time, MT. Graham said.
 A charter banquet in Juneau for the local group has tentatively been set for Sept. and Graham plans to be in Juneau again at that time.
 Junior c of c groups have grown from one club in St. Louis, p years ago, to 1900 local organizations with an active membersip of 100000 people and an international group representing 38 nationalities At a recent Junior c of c congress in Rio, there were representatives of 27 countries.
 Philosophy of the group is simple and confined to two objectives, Gra- ham explained:
 l. Through the Junior c of c to offer leadership for young men and
 9. To instill an ideal of civic serv- ice and community betterment' among it's young leaders.
 T am concerned with having an organization in Juneau that con- forms to the ideals of the group, one that will attract young men to the organization and afford them op- portunities to contribute to Juneau's welfare. l am satisfied that this lS t1Ic QCSAC Ol bilC OuAlCdA 6AOQR. am looking forward to my return here for the charter banquet and I am hopeful of having with us n cross section of Juneau community leaders in order that they may be- come acquainted with the ideals of the organization and work with us toward a goal of better Juneau.
 Graham, wh6 was named Young Man of the Year" by Seattle senior civic leaders in 1946. largely for his Junior c of c work, las been na- tional Vice. President of the organi- zation for the last two years and during that time has covered over 100000 miles travelling for his group. He arrived Saturday from visit to the Junior c of Cs in Anchorage and Fairbanks and left Juneau Sun day by PAA for Seattle.

T0(REATE { PARK AT
 PULP SITE
Senator Capper Introduces Legislation Affecting Ju-
 neau Pulp Timber Area

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-lR-A bill to make Admiralty Island, Alaska, a public park and game refuge was introduced Saturday by Senator Cap per (R-KAS)
 The bill says that the park shall be under the control of the Secre- tary of the Interior and that his regulations shall be aimed at the freest use of one said park for rec reation purposes by the public and for the preservation of the, natural curiosities and scenic beauties there of"
 A provision would permit pros- pectors and miners, however, to shoot game or birds "as may be need ed for their actual. necessities when short of food eN YXffggSFs4< <
 The bill would authorize an expen- diture of $20000 a year to maintain the park. ASk55 Sgl
 A notation on a copy of the bill sent by messenger to the Associated Press said it was the last bill to be introduced by Capper, who Is re- tiring. ". -
 Admiralty Island is the heart of the Juneau pulp site and contains over one million acres of hnd. The U. S. Forest Service estimates that there are 81a billion feet of timber on the Island, which could supply 800 ton pulp mill for 50 years.
 { The proposal to establish na- tional park on the island represents ! deviation from national policy, which has always been to set aside those areas that are outstanding Admiralty Island ranks below both Baranof and Chichagof Island in $cenic beauty.
 ! The need to protect animals in the island is almost non-existent. Local sportsmen estimate that there Are now twice as many brown bears in the area than there were 20 years ago, when the Forest Service made careful count. Research made in other areas indicates that in logged off sections, the food supply for herbivorous animals, such as deer, increases and the number of ani- fi1als increases.
 This is the second @attsmpt to place the island under a park re- 3erve. Harold Ickes, when Secretary 6f the Interior, advocated including Admiralty in the Glacier Bay Ma tional Monument.

if publicity helped the tourist
trade all well and good but
they are unwilling to cooper
ate in anything done by the
Civic Association because they
do not want the organization
to receive any credit.
The Board discussed this de-
licate subject from every ang-
lie and finally arrived at the.
conclusion that tourism will
be helpful to hotel owners and.
other business people but not.
the masses who represent la
Dor. For these reasons the Pub.
lie Relations Service should
direct its activities toward
encouraging high powered in
duStrialists and financiers to
set up such industries neces-
sary for the employment of
the laboring classes.
The Board also ruled that
there be no let up in the drive
to have immigration authori-
ties stop the flow of aliens go
ing into st Thomas. The
charge made by those who EN-
ploy labor that natives are
lazy can best be proved when
no aliens are admitted, they.
contend.
It is generally known to the
members that employers seek
huge profits with cheap alien
labor and the association viii.

can standard of wages.

cuSsion but made no comment.
