DUNN BACK FROM pAA CONFERENCE
 HELD IN HAWAII
Says Alaska Must Go All Out tO Make Ii AttraC-
 five for Tourists

Fred Dunn, Irat1lc Manager TOT [ the Juneau Division of Pan Ameri- can, returned to Juneau yesterday after several weeks in the Hawaiian Islands attendig a world confer ence of Traffic Managers. The con- ference was held in the Headquart- CTS rooms formerly used by top mili- tary officers and the late Presi- dent Roosevelt in planning strategic battle maneuvers of World War II.
 Dunn stated that he was very pleased with the conference and that the traffic managers accom- plished many problems pertaining to the overall traffic problems and each manager gave a complete report of their divisions and suggestions were accepted for the betterment of ser vice in the Pacific-Alaska Division. Dunn stated that any criticism that anyone had to offer would be well comed by the division to assist Pan American in giving the hest possible service to all travellers on Pan Am erican Airways.
 A complete service for Alaska. and more than sufficient, has been planned for the near future. Plans were also completed in view of the new facilities that are underway for the Juneau Airport. Pan Ameri- can is ready to go all out in giving complete and satisfactory service that is needed in the Territory. AL aska was discussed in full for the lack of facilities for proper services to the people.
 "The general public and the people of Hawaii are definitely tourist minded said Dunn, and are nak- ing big play to please the holiday seeker to the utmost. We in Alaska must do likewise to compete with this overwhelming enthusiasm of the people of these vacation spots and an all out effort must be made to bring tourists from all over the United States and Canada to Alaska for vacation. If this progress isn't made in Alaska while the opportuni- ty is in the otfing Alaska will slip back to the same status of ten years ago.
 There is great possibility that the conference planned for 1949 will be held in Juneau and the invitation was extended to the many repre- sentatives at the Hawaiian confer ence"
 Dunn stated that he was very pleased with the Islands and that Hilo was typical Hawaiian. The con- ference was attended by over 400 and 40 of PAA representatives were from the following places, Tokyo, Shanghai, Bankok. Melbourne. Syd- ney, Auckland. New Caledonia, Nome, Fairbanks, Ketchikan.
 Dunn said that upon arrival in the Islands each member of the conference was met at the airfield and presented with lei of orchids and the Chamber of Commerce of Hilo was the host during their visit. Dunn still had bit of a sun tan but stated that he lost most of It in the San Francisco fog.

 WASHINGTON = When ex-Sec- retary of State Jimmy Byrnes issued his "get tough with Rus sia statement last week, most peo- pie thought it was carefully aim- ed to back up the White House. The White House, however, did not take it that way
 In fact, President Truman hit the ceiling. He figured Byrnes was making play for the South ern delegation in order to take the Democratic nomination away from him.
 The President" exploded one White House aide, needs no side line coaching from Jimmy Byrnes.' D
 "Of all people" bristled another aide, Jimmy Byrnes was about the last man we expected to hear from on getting tough wfeh Russia. If he had been little tougher in the years he dealt with the Russians, cur problems would be a lot easier now The least he could have done was to have cleared his statement with the State Department before sounding off"
 MT Truman himself asked that the record be checked to see just where Byrnes stood on appeasing Russia, and remarked that Byrnes nearly sold us down the river in 1945.
 Me made no secret of the fact that he thought Byrnes was trying to assume national leadership in order to grab the Democratic nomi- nation.
 Note-After many attempts to get along with Stalin, Byrnes laid down a get tough with Russia" policy, following his return from the ill-fated Paris conference in the fall of 1946. He also demanded that Henry Wallace be fired be- cause Wallace was talking ap- peasement. Until ByrneS insisted,

MILO C. CL0USE QUITS AS CHIEF
 OF CITY POLICE
Sportsmen s Association President Reports on
 Trip 10 States

Chief of Police Milo Clouse re- signed his position at last nights meeting of the City Council in letter to Mayor Waino E. Hend- rickson. Said Clouse:
 Since cur departure from Ju- neau and our subsequent entry in the Chicago International Trav- el. Sports and Outdoors Show, many important developments have come up that necessitate a com plete change in my future plans, and makes it impossible for me to continue as Chief of Police Of Juneau.
 T regret the necessity of such short notice, but I feel l can best serve the Juneau business firms and our sponsors better by devoting my full time to the interests ot cur club, therefore building up greater fund for our treasury and better understanding of our needs in Alaska among the sports-minded people in the States, and particu larly the sportsmen's clubs out here.
 Buck Harris and had many discussions regarding my future plans before I left Chicago, and we are both sincere in our belief that I must return to the States as soon as possible after my return to Juneau.
 "As you probably know, we had with us 5000 feet of wildlife movies in color that we showed in Chicago. The demand for more showings and featuring grew away beyond our expectations and I have around 50 odd showings to make from Chicago east.
 The dinner given for the Out door Writers Association of Ameri- ca by the Outboard Motor Club of America at the Stevens Hotel was grand success. The shellfish, king salmon and fresh shrimp from Petersburg were the outstand- ing events of the affair and re- ceived wide publicity
 Finest Advertising
 We know now that our trip to Chicago; our display in the Sports Show there; and our entry now in the Seattle Times Sports Show has given our city and the Territory the finest advertising we've ever had A continuation of this pro- gram is going to mean much more than anyone in Alaska realizes.
 We, in Alaska, have been slow to realize the fundamental fact that we have been neglecting one of our greatest natural resources in our failure to develop our tourist trade
 Cur blind indifference; our don't give a damn attitude; our petty squabbles over unimportant matters within our small horizon; have obscured our vision and nar- rowed our minds to such an ex- tent that we have become in- capable of doing big things. That is plain talk, and I mean it to be just that Perhaps, when we at tain statehood, this will all change. It is certain that if we ourselves cannot develop our country, others from Outside will and I feel that by staying Outside and giving the people the straight truth about Alaska, someone, sometime soon, will not be overlooking the oppor- tunities that lay within her bord- CTS.
 T am leaving here (Seattle) on March 27, and will arrive in Ju- neau the last of the month. In the meantime, please accept my resignation as of the time my leave was up, and give my best regards to the boys"
 Clouse, who is also President of the Territorial Sportsmen, Inc, left here on February IA, for his jour- ney to the States to promote Alaska sports activities.
