Just 10 letters have been re- ceived by the Valley Chamber of Commerce, in answer to the recent wires and letters which went to Congressmen in an at- tempt to name the Matanuska Valley as the site for a proposed Alaska Native Service hospital.
 The letters varied in their re- sponse to the request, but most were entirely noncommittal in their attitude.
 Typical responses were worded in this manner: T am bringing these views 10 the attention of the Interior De- partment and 10 the Appropri- ations Committee of the House of Representatives"

 Two men, James P. Davis, di- rector of the Division of Terri tories and Island Possessions, and Joseph T. Flakne, chief of the Alaska Branch of that de- partment, both were frank in their statement that the hospital probably would be located in Anchorage. They both added that future planning for a hos pital for the insane will fully consider the Matanuska Valley.

Sportsnlen
 Draft Rules. Elect Board

The Matanuska Valley Sports men settled right down to busi- ness in their Wednesday evening meeting, the second called for organization purposes. T h ey drafted a complete set of by laws, based on the laws govern ing the former association here, and elected a seven-man board of directors to conduct club bus mess.
 The Wednesday group made few changes in the original by laws, which were reported to be modelled on rules okayed by the National Rifle Association, with which the local club hopes to become affiliated.
 A restricting clause on the number of members was remov- ed, 25 per cent of the member ship was named quorum and the board of directors was in- creased from five to seven mem bers in the principal changes of the former bylaws.
 A new section eliminated the board of directors power to levy assessments without member ship approval and set member ship fees for the Valley Sports men at flat $5 annually.
 The first Wednesday of each month was selected as the regu- lar club meeting date, with the first meeting in February of each year to be the annual meet ing, when new officers will be elected.
 The men who were chosen to act as board members were:
 Clare Stock, Bruce Graham, Leo Lucas, F. R. Sims, Bud Lacher, Walt Cooper and Ralph Goodrich.
 These seven men, who will elect a president, vice-president and secretary-treasurer from their membership, will hold their first board of directors meeting next Sunday evening at 8 o'clock in the Palmer Fountain.
 The. membership committee appointed last week reported that there were 50 paid-up mem bers present at Wednesdays meeting. The committee was in- structed to remain in office in order that more Valley residents may be reached and asked to join.
 Some equipment, which was owned by the former Sports mems group at the time of its disbandment, was accepted as the property of the new club.

Upon the recommendation of the parks and playground com the Chamber of Com merce last Wednesday voted to attempt to secure the reserva- tion of six plots of land within the Valley for use as public pie nicking grounds and parks.

 (l) The ground lying north of the present north boundary of the Coop holdings and east 10 the holdings of The Alaska Railroad. to be set aside for a public picnic ground;

started the ball rolling in New

Mr.. Jack said also that feature
on the part Of Dewey to act to end
segregation in the New York Ma
tional guard would place him Gin
the category of those who pay lip
service to the principles of democ-
racy but refuse to implement their
ideals with action"
Seconding the motion of Jack
was Assemblyman Andrews of
Harlem, who was also on the floor
of the legislature when the move
was made. Andrews indicated,
quite emphatically, that he had
been sponsoring lab i'll annually
since 1913 to abolish segregation
in the state guard and National
guard units in New York, and he
pressed a motion that his long
pending bill be passed now, and
fast.
When Majority Leader Lee B.

crying for more committees, Will

stalling and shouted, 1.-THE ques-

Of the organization.
The net result O fthe meeting
here Friday was the passing of
resolutions urging all churchmen
to support President Truman in
his effort to produce effective
laws safeguarding civil rights, the
affirming of attitudes in support
of anti-lynching, FEPC, anti-poll
tax and opposition to inequalities
in education. A committee was
also appointed to explore posi-
bilities of working out the prob
lens facing the council.
Roughly these problems appear
to be these: The council, which

Bishop Wright, the first execu-

Jernagin, head Of the Washington
bureau, an offshoot of the body.
Rev. Jernagin solicited special
Baptist contributions to support
his work.
At the 1916 meeting in Little
Rock, it was agreed than an execu-
tive secretary should be elected
who would have the following
qualifications: be a capable young
man who would work at the job
full time, which Bishop Wright
was unable to do; and move his
office to Washington,-the latter
move being designed to supplant
Jernagin.
At the following meeting in
Baltimore, with Baptists predomi-
