Fireworks Display Is
 Elaborate

Juneauites got a double feature this year in the way of fireworks for their Fourth of July celebra- tion. The City's Fourth of July Committee, not wishing to gamble on uncertain weather predictions, put on it's main show Sunday eve ming with a colorful display of aerial and ground pyrotechnics from barges in the Gastineau Channel.
 The Sunday show featured many beautiful set pieces as well as a host of breath-takin aerial fire works and lasted for 45 minutes. The set pieces included sign "Ju- neau 1948" surrounded by the U. s. and Alaska flags. Other items in cluded a tic-tac board. dubbed the Nance Special" a 200-foot long and 24-foot high waterfall, re- volving pyrotechnical ball and a huge U. S. flag, 20 feet high and | 30 feet long.
 Spectators were left breathless at the imposing display of fireworks and no one could find adequate words to describe the thrilling array of pyrotechnics. One former resi- dent of Washington, D. C., said that Juneau's display had it oil over his ! former hometown.
 The Monday evening show, al- I though only 20 minutes long, also provided considerable entertain ment for Juneauites. Once again, the sky was filled with bursting rockets, star shells and other types of aerial bombs. The surprise of the evening came when the fire works barge was illuminated with beautifully colored sign display ing the name of Juneau'S Queen, Loretta
 Another 10 minutes of . nights show was also filled by searchhght batteries from the U. $. s. Atlanta and the U. s. Coast Guard cutter Wachusett which illuminated two U. s. flags parachuting to the water as well as lighting up the entire Gastineau Channel area.
 The volunteer committee which constructed all of the set pieces and mortars here in Juneau has been working on the celebration since last, January. Today, Mayor w. E. Hendrickson expressed special thanks to them for the many hours of hard work which they had de- voted to making the celebration so successful.
 The committee included Glenn Leach, Curly Davis, Ernie Davis, Cleo Commers, Bill Mathenv, Bud Nance, Ed Springer, Larry Parker, Walt Butts. Felix Toner, Harold Floss and Bob Thibodeau.
 Sailors from the Atlanta and the Wachusett also assisted with the display. From the Wachusett were; Frank Burt, Chuck Burton, Bob Lee, Ralph Mason, Bob Allen and Ray Sandy. Dick Finch, Al Kelly and Andy Anderson helped from the Atlanta.
 Special thanks were given to the crews of the Army tug TP-99 and Foss tug 19, the Army Engineers and to North Transfer for assist ance in making the displays pos- Sible

 WASHINGTON Bob Hanne- gan, the man who made Harry Truman, had lunch with his ex- boss in Washington just a week ago. Since he retired as Post master General and became head of the St. Louis Cardinals, Hanne- gan has seen little of the Presi- dent However, he hoped at this luncheon to tell him frankly that he had no chance to win next November.
 However, court jester George Allen is now chuckling over the fact that Hannegan never got a chance to open his mouth. Hanne- gan is quite a talker; so, per- haps suspecting what was coming, Truman had the scene all set.
 Genial George. the gentleman from Mississippi, originally ap- pointed to the White House secre- tariat on the recommendation of Hannegan, was at the luncheon apparently to monopolize the con- versation. Long ago, he and Han negan broke. In fact, Hannegan tried to get Allen euchred out of the White House because of his reactionary influence.
 During the luncheon converse tion. Truman described Governor Dewey as "pushover." He was

BLOCKADE LIFT l N c
 DEMANDED
United States Sends Note to Soviet Government
 Important Issues
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER

By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
 WASHINGTON, July G. - R = The United States demanded direct ly to the Soviet government today that the Russian blockade of Berlin be lifted
 Secretary of State Marshall pre- sented the American note If protest personally to Soviet Ambassador Alexander s. Panyushkin.
 Immediately afterward State De- partment Press Officer Lincoln White issued this statement:
 Ambassador Panyushkin called on the Secretary at 80 o'clock tEDT) this morning and was given a note regarding the situation in Berlin.
 "The Ambassador was informed that it is not the intention of this government to make the contents of the note public until the Soviet government had a reasonable period of time to study the note and make it's reply"
 Three Nations Act
 The United States acted in con- cert with Britain and France in protesting strongly the Soviet block ade of the German capital
 White officially gave no intima- ton of the line which Marshall took.
 Other diplomatic informants said there appeared no doubt that he de- manded the immediate lifting of the Berlin blockade, and protested Russias recent policies in the Ger man capital They said he argued that the Soviet Union must directly accept responsibility for any lack of supplies among the millions of Ger mans living in Berlin.
 White did not define what was meant by reasonable period of time" in which the Soviet govern ment could study the American note but presumably it meant several days at least.
 Notes Handed Out
 The contents of the notes from. the three Western Powers are not to be discussed for several days. Notes similar to that of the United States were understood to have been handed the Soviet am hassadors in London and Paris
 Panyushkin said Marshall had not expressed to him directly any views on Berlin. He did not say what they talked about during the time he was in the secretary's of flee.
 Marshall was acting jointly with Britain and France in protesting the blockade and making direct to Moscow to insist on its

 At the same time, ambassadors of five Western European powers and Canada were called into con- ference with Undersecretarv of State Lovett. These talks are the first of what may prove to be a historic series of meetings on Am erican military support for the Western European bloc.
 A foreign diplomat said that these two issues are:

 In the military field. determina- ton of the kind and extent of Am erican arms and equipment which may be needed to provide reason ably adequate defenses against any possible European attack
