WELCOME TO VISITORS

Juneau is pleased today to be able to welcome the delegates to the Associated Boards of Trade of Central British Columbia and Affiliated Chambers of Commerce of Southeast Alaska to conference here
 Meeting of representatives of our towns to dis cuss their problems cannot help but bring us closer in understanding and friendship. And, one hopes will help to solve problems, accomplish some work in the direction of good for us all
 Transportation always looms large in any com munity discussion in this part of the country Our international problems of travel and shipping by water by air and over the International Highway; the building of future highways both in Alaska and Canada; these among the matters that may be discussed at the meeting here
 The British Columbia member towns in this group are not unlike Juneau and other of the Alaska communities meeting here.
 Relatively our communities young. Our pioneer days are but not so far away that they are not remembered by many of us. Isolation and the dps and downs camps" have been

6, 1886, when Hitler invaded the Rhineland.
 At that time. the French army could have stopped Hitler cold. Later it became, known that Hit Ter had even given his military chiefs orders to retreat if the French army moved. But the French hesitated, debated, did mo- thing.
 Last July when the Russians first clamped down the Berlin blockade, the U. S. likewise hesi- tated. Gen Lucius D. Clay, com mander of Americas political Cor regidor, proposed sending an arm ored train loaded with supplies through the blockade
 He was convinced the Russians would not fight. All intelligence reports indicated that the Krem- lin had given firm orders to the Red Army not to shoot. Moscow could not. Clay was convinced, af- ford war.
 His proposal was OK'd by the joint Chiefs of Staff and the Ma tional Security Council, but the State Department and later Tru- man. himself, said no. Whether they were right or wrong is for history to decide, but the Berlin CTS are wagering that Clay's strat- egy would have called Russia $ bluff
 Now, however, Russia has brought more divisions of the Red Army into Germany, has it's prestige al stake with the entire world, and according to many experts, would fight.

The Middle Atlantic PGA will

today's pro-amateur tournament at
Congressional Country Club to dis
cuss the future of the bi-weekly

Questions up for discussion are:
% Are the pros going to continue
to hold the pro responsible for his

will happen when the pro does not
use the proper handicap?
90 Can the pros play all amateurs
from scratch?
.(3) Would the latter move re-
duce the entry list?
"a Will all events be played un-
der summer rules?
While the questions affect future
tournaments, the pros have none OF
those worries as Congressional is

unique events, and all the prize
money.
It is a special pro and two
partner tourney with SO pros sched-
uled to turn out to help make WHY

Betty CARRIER, SportS-mlndeo
scnool teacher (until yesterday Is
a solid contender as the District
Women's Golf Championship enters
the match play rounds today at
Woodmont, but only after she quit
her lob to play in the tournament
and forced the Women's Golf Asso-
clation into executive session to con-
slider her entry.
More than a month ago Miss Gar
ber, who bears a resemblance to
Babe Didrikson Zaharias, applied
for a weeks leave from Wilson High
School to play in the tournament.
She has been teaching physical edu-
cation there for 10 years.
But when it came tournament
time and Miss CARRIER had substl-
tute ready. her grades IN and she
had offered tc report after the tour
nament each day to go over next
years curriculum. her application
for leave was Denied.
Instead of withdrawing from the
tournament, Miss CARRIER decided to
resign, a move that almost created
an uproar at Wilson as number OF
students threatened to skip classes
and watch her play-untu she
talked them out OF it.
Nav Seek Reinstatement.
She said today she may apply fol
reinstatement, after next year. al
though she has not heard yet
whether her resignation has been
accepted.
As Miss CARRIER Is not member
of one of the WDGAs member
clubs. her entry was not accepted
until last Thursday when the Exec
utive Committee approved her name
provided she paid $40 assessment
as an unattached player, plus So
tournament entry fee.
A former public links champion,
but never a contender for the city
title. Miss CARRIER was trif1e nerv-
ols as she started her qualifying
round at Woodmont Country CLUB
yesterday. Playing the back nine
first, she posted "A, but soon gained
control Of her shots and came back
in 81. the best nine of the day, for
an 81.
Paradoxically, if Miss CARRIER had
been teaching golf at Wilson she
probably would have been permitted
to take leave to compete in the
tournament, but as she gave up golf
classes several years ago. the tour
nament did not fall within the line
OF duty.
Mrs. Stokes Game Strong.
While Miss CARRIERS entrance into
the tournament was the topic OF
conversation, Defending Champion
Mrs. Walter Stokes played most OF
the golf.
Playing from the mems tees
over the 18 holes, as did the entire
field, Mrs. Stokes was out in 40 and
back in 39> for a 79. The Manorite,
a three-time champion. played con-
sistently good golf all the way and
did not make any loAg puts.
Miss CARRIERS 81 was tied by Mrs.
L. G. Pray, who. heartened by a
lesson, from Fred Mcleod on Sat-
urday, decided to play In the
tournament after swapping out of a
streak that almost caused her to
lose interest in the game.
All of the favorites except Mrs.
6. F. Little of Army Navy. semi
finalist last year, made the match
play grade. Mrs Little was out
with 81. Mrs. George Bailey, lr.,
