CITY MUST GET READY,
 EXPANSION
Juneau fo Grow : Needs More Offices and Hous-
 ina Accommodations

James P. Davis today warned Juneau that is must provide for expansion of Federal government activities in Alaska. The Director of the Division of Territories and Insular Possessons for the Depart ment of the Interior is visiting here this week to confer with local Interior Department officials. He said today that Alaska can expect the immigration of several new government agencies as well as the expansion of many existing bureaus, because of the govern ment's increased interest in the Territory. Because Juneau is the Capital City. most or all of these agencies will locate here and will need more office and housing ac- commodations than what is now available.
 He and Kenneth J. Kadow, head of the new Alaska Coordinating Office for the Interior Department
 
 are urging as much new construc- ton as possible in order to accom- modate the newcomers. It was also pointed out that, if Juneau should be the site of pulp mill housing accommodations will be even more critical.
 On the subject of Kadow's new job, Davis admitted that ordinar- fly. the Governor of Alaska would act as Interior Repartment Co., ordinator. But, he said, many Alaska Interior Department agen- cies have thviz> sy1ts stsannsls to Washington. D. C.. and the Gov ernor is also tied up with the administration Of the Territory. If and when, Statehood should come the Governor would be entirely separated from the Interior De- partment. he pointed out. For these reasons. he explained, it is wise to set up the Coordinatine office now.
 Davis is due to leave here to- morrow. He has been guest of Governor and Mrs. Gruening during his visit in Juneau.

VASHINGTON - A great lady died the other day-a lady whe had caused me much happiness z and much pain.
 She was my ex-mother -in-law Eleanor Patterson, who used to write about me in such scathine terms that even the very frank Time Magazine had to interpret them with dots and dashes. And although I never answered her, l want to write about her now be- cause she represented great news paper cycle which may be coming to an end. H%
 Cissy Patterson's one ambition was to be as great newspaper man as her brother Joe, and though she may not have realized it, she was. She and Joe had grown ur together, and she worshipped him That was how Cissy got her nick name; for Joe, as a little boy could not pronounce Eleanor"
 Both inherited part of the Chi- cago Tribune-wealthiest newspaper property in the world. But neith- CT was satisfied merely to be cog in the Tribune machine, and their genius built up two great news papers in other cities, The New York Daily News and The Wash ington mes-Herald

ABOUT 300 ANGLERS OPEN SALMON DERBY
 AT $ THIS MORNING
SIiqht Wind and Mild Rain Diaegdrded by Fisher
 men-Continues Sunday


 Rain or no rain and disregarding the wind, the 1948 Juneau Salmon Derby got off to good start this morning when local fishermen headed for Aux Bay and Tee Har- Dor with poles, hooks and plugs in hand. Although it was rain- ing slightly in the Aux Bay area, weather conditions were much im- proved to those in Juneau and an estimated 300 persons checked in at the judges stands and cast for the big ones. Bucking mild wind, only fishermen in the small est boats found it difficult to navigate in an estimated one-foot sea.
 Early this morning more than 700 persons had registered for the event and it is expected that the number of potential Plymouth owners" will top the 1000 mark before the entry books close this evening. Conditions at Tee Har- tor were much the same as at Aux Bay when the event got un- derway.
 Milo Clouse, chairman of the Derby Board. said yesterday that the list of prizes for the "big ones that don't get away" has mounted to about 140 and is still in- complete. With the large list of awards, a great number of fish ermen will find that the sport pays off this year. In an effort to more thoroughly distribute the prizes, no one fisherman will receive more than one award regardless of the number of fish he brings back. Only the largest of the catch will he conaidered 2R the scales fQy entry purposes.
 Clouse again reminds all fisher- men that they must check in at the judges stands before taking to the water. This can be done at Jim Hickey's float in Aux Bay or Selby's float in Tee Harbor, and the fish must be registered at the floats before 4 o'clock when re- turning in the afternoon. Entry blanks will be stamped on depar- ture and given number when re- turning. Fishermen are also urged to familiarize themselves with the derby rules which appeared in yes- terday's edition of the Empire.
 For those who have not yet regis tered. entry blanks may be obtain ed at the H and Q Sports Gen. ter, at Madsen's Bicycle Shop locat- ed on E Street opposite the ball park, or at the Juneau-Y Young, Thomas or Goldstein stores. AL though a little late in the game for securing boat, interested per- sons may contact the Peter Wood Sales Agency at phone 9ll for in- formation on the boat pool.
 Opening and closing times for the fishing will be the same tomor- row and another Channel Bus is scheduled to leave the bus station for Tee Harbor and Aux Bay at 4:30 o'clock in the morning.
 The Coast Guard Cutter Wa chusett pulled out this morning to go to the Salmon Derby area to give any assistance that may be necessary.

EMIL zAT0pEx E HERO OF OLYMPIC
 GAMES, FIRST DAY
By TED SMITS

OL MElS Q f1SAOM w EAASAIcx England, July 31.--R-The United States still may win the Olympic Games track and field unofficial championship-but it won't be easy
 The exuberant over-confidence ol the past week faded today under the hard blows dealt in the hjgf jump-an event America hoped tc sweep.
 Even as the red. white and blut dropped, there began to emerge the possible great hero of the l94t games. He is Emil zatopek ol Czechoslovakia, the strangest, wild. est. strongest, most anguished dis tance runner ever seen.
 Suffering with every step, zato- pek won the 10000 meters yester- day in 29:39.6, a new Olympic rec. ord. The commotion he set ur helped screen the embarrassment ol the American high jumpers wht bowed tc John Winter of Aus tralia at the ignominous height ol 6 feet inches.
 Here's how American fared ir other sports on the first day oi competition:
 Swimming-Wally Ris of the University of Iowa equalled the l0l meter record of SIS in his pre- liminary heat. Keith Carter o1 Purdue defeated favored Alex Jany of France in 576 heat but both qualified for today's final, as dic Alan Ford of Yale.
 Basketball-The United States overwhelmed Switzerland, 86-2l.
 Water POlo-The U. s. blanked Uruguay, TO. in first round com petition.
 Fencing-The mems foils team reached the semi-finals by defeat ing Canada and Switzerland.
 Pentathlon-Maj. G. B. Moore of the U. s. Army finished second to Capt, William arrt of Svcde1' in the 5000 meter cross-country ride.
 Wrestling-Four Americans wor and two lost.
 Barney Ewell, Mel Patton, and Harrison billiard all came through the first two rounds of 100 meters smoothly. And Roy Cochran, the scientific, rolling -hipped 400 meter hurdler from Indiana and now on the faculty of the University Of Southern California, matched a new Olympic record in the semi finals of his event a :5l9. That was the same time made by Rune Larson of Sweden in winning the other semi-final. The old record was $40 made by Glen Hardin of. the U. s. in 1892.
 It was zatopek who captured the hearts of. the 65,O00 sweltering spectators in the converted dog race track.
 Right from the first lap he ap- peared in trouble. wobbling his head and shaking his arms. As the six mile, 376 yard race progressed his face contorted, he threw his head back, and to all indications he was ready to fall on his face
 But instead of falling he started sprinting, or so it seemed, and the entranced crowd started the great Czechoslovakia chant where the first and last syllables keep time with the runners powerful strides: "Zat-o-pek, Zat-o-pek."
 Next comes the 5000 meters heats begin today-and g chance for Zatopek to become double winner and first rate Olympic hero.
