 Concerning the lease of the Marine Ways and cold storage pint to take advantage Of the coming fishing season. Lease calls for $5000 per year for ten years with option to renew.
 Mayor Heating said We have right to know whether they are in favor of municipal own ership of the Seward Electric System. and whether they are for municipal ownership of the Marine Ways and facilities.
 Robert D. Muller. candidate for councilman. said in part
 II want to see that the Mar inc Ways is administered prop erly and that the city finances are on sound basis. That is my main reason for entering as a candidate on the City Council" When asked if he was in favor of Mayor keating's policies, MT. Muller said, Probably in favor Of some of them. The past year does not necessarily have bearing on the council in the future.' When asked. Do you have any axe to grind?" Mir. Muller replied. "No, have no axe to grind"
 To the question, What is your opinion on our Police De- partment' he replied, "I think we have a fine Police Depart ment. l would say retain the po- lice force. From what I have heard and and as far as I know we have a very excellent Police Department"
 l.. A. Miller, cadidate for councilman. said in part:
 Lots of the people in Seward seem 10 think I am not so we'll known in town and I guess they are probably right about that. It wasn't exactly my idea to run for council. Some people get out a petition. I am in favor of mu- nicjpal ownership of the Public

 When asked if he was obli- gated in any way in regard To purchase of Marine Waye. Mr Miller replied, T ann not ohli- gate q. 1 merely say 1 believe in supporting the Police Depart ment as long as it in operating efficiently. Now if J. Edgar Hoover or some one like that would come along. We might give him job as he might be q little better.'
 Al Chamberlain. an old-timor in the audience: "I was Mayor , ar three terms many years ago been Senator for the Territory and have lived here many years. You have been here three years and work for a corporation and you are trying to tell the people here what to do. You think you have a right to tell Us what to do. You have no right to run for the council until you live here a few years and know the country"
 Patrick w. Began. candidate for Councilman:
 II have no axe to grind. That is for sure. If I get on the council the people in Seward are the only ones I feel have to account to. The Police De- partment seems to have been brought out primarily l really don't believe there could be q better one regardless of where it is. They rae on the go all the time. AS far as I am concerned thy should be kept. by all means. Mayor Heating asked a. bout the ownership of the Sew ard Electric System. That's all right too, if it is a paying prop osition for the city. If they have to go in the "hOle" I'd say "No". He asked if we are now supporting the present system. l am not. I went for one and one-half months without lights in my business and house and couldn't get them to do the work. They were too busy have been asked to switch over 10 them. The present company ! get lights from have treated me OK. and I don't feel should change"
 He was asked. How do you feel on the incumbent council members, they and the Mayor. Have they done good job or is that too pertinent a question?

 George Lesko, candidate for councilman:
 "There are a lot of issues on hand that were consumated by i the past council. It seems to me they are asking the incoming council to sanction everything ! the ol council did. 1 would like to hear about some new issue. simothing about tomorrow or the day after.
 i The question was asked: What do you intend to do a bout getting the city out of deht?."
 "That'S a new issue" Mr. Lesko replied. If 1 am elected on the council will have to go by the figures. check the finan- ccS, go over the books, and pro coed on that basis.
 Question was asked. Do you believe in keeping within a bud get?" He replied. "Yes. If | took d business over, I'd check over hte bills outstanding and the money coming i'll. You can [ run Sll town on a $lo dollar income.
 IL was brought out by the in t,rro2alur that q number of dog and mercantile licenses had not been paid ill the pst. Fees had not been collected.
 Mir Lcsko replied that it was the obligation of q good citizen To pay his taxes.

I will not make any promises. believe in the LEA. coming here to put ey- erything under one big electrifi- cation system. We had better do all We can to get those peop- le in here and for that reason would like to plug for our present Utility Board As far as the rest is concerned I believe in municipal ownership of the Mar inc Ways. The proposition where by the city acquired the dock is a self-liquidatin@ plan am not afrain of that They say the Alaska Railrod will get out of here in a couple of years. Now there will be a road soon from Anchorage to Seward, think We should get behind the High way 5. II they uO take the lall- road out they will be back in q few years. think We should get every inch of water front we can. l believe We could lease the docks to other steamship companies. A high official from the Interior Department said he saw no reason why it couldn't { be done.
 l believe the Police Depart ment has done very satisfact- ory job. I would like to see the same spirit of cooperation with the council that you see against the council. There are some people in Seward who try to stir up the council and make trouh- le between the Mayor and th. Council. If I get elected ! am going to do the best I can and l don't care whose toes I s;op in. l am under no obligation to any one.

About the cold storage lesees. they are in there , now. They seem 10 be all right ! They may quit in a year or sO 1 We don't know until these i things come up what can hap 1 pen. We cant commit ourselves
 ''l would see that the council carries everything out fair and just at all times and see to it that there would be no group i or pressure.
 1 "Wc have q cab ordinance anl ] tht would probably be the only direct thing that would benefit i me. II that came up al any time
 wouldn't sit in on that part. -
 Question was asked: Don't you i have an axe to grind with the
 present Police Department?
 l."nier replied. 'No. they seem 10 be pretty just"
 Quostioner went on. "Thore are quite q few rumors about :, the Legion Club.
 Lanier: There is an ordinance l dispensers are to to be closed

 on know. The council might
 r"-arran@e opening hours of the
 club.
 . Question, "Would you propose { q change in the closing time of i liquor stOrcs?"
 Lanier, No. not necessarily.
 unless group of bar owners f brought the idea up to the coun- , cil."
 t. Question, What about closed
 meetings?"
 Lanier. ''I don't believe in closed meetings. The taXpavers should know what is being done 1 with their money. would want each department to itemize it's 1 revenue. expenses, fines. etc.
 Question, should the Police
 Department be maintained on
 their own fines?"
 Lanier: No. No city police should ever have to do that. | ever have to do that. The police would drive the people out of
 town if they did that. I think everybody in Seward should Know what the city pays to the Police force, the fire department | and how much it costs to main tain the streets. I don't see how ehe Council can operate as it 1 has. They don't know what bank balance they have. For instance , the Fire Department, which is ! a volunteer OrganiZa tion. hasn't t 1 been paid for 3 Or months Some get paid and others have 70 wait. The city is in debt now for S14'OOO or something like that. The next council would have to adjust that.
 Question, ''How would vou correct being in debt?"
 1 Lanier, We would have to work on a budget system. Have to get away from wild spendine. n don't know where the money has gone. Taxes have been higher than ever this year. Miss Helen Head. running for cOUncilwOman:

10 Reinsfate Cole
BY the Asso<iotsd Press

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 21.-Metro-
Goldwyn- Mayer movie studio Is un-
der Federal Court order today to re-
instate Lester Cole, screen writer, tn
his $1,35o-a-week Job and pay him
about s75 900 back salary.
Judge Leon r. Yankwich yester-
day sharply criticized Eric Johnston.
president of the Motion Picture A.
sociation Of major producers. and
upheld a jury verdict last Friday IN
Mr.. Coles favor after trial OF his
reinstatement suit.
Mr. Cole was one Of 10 Hollywood
figures suspended by their studies
a year ago after they were charged
with contempt Of Congress for re-
fusing to tell the House Committee
on Un-American Activities whether
they were Communists. Mr.. Coles
is the first suit Of its type fled. He
and the other nine have damage
suits aggregating $69, ,O00, 900 pend
ing. alleging there was . conspiracy
to prevent them from working IN
pictures.

suspension was void and ordered
MGM to enter in its minutes an Or
der canceling the suspension.
Concernng Mr.. Johnston, who tes-
titled that it was on his advice that
the studios suspended the "mfriend-
ly ten," Judge Yankwich said:
"Mr. Johnston is dogmatic, a doc
trinaire and an absolutist. The
dogmatic type of mind has long ex-
listed in the United States, confined
in the past to certain types Of clergy
men. Mr.. Johnston has demonstrat-
ed that it has reached the sacred
precincts of business
Praising Louis B. Mayer, studio
chief, for his frank testimony, the
court said, 1T Is evident that at no
time did MGM want to suspend Mr..
Cole and even agreed reluctantly to
the policy announced by the studios"
