Fjqht for 10Th St. Traffic Liqht

The mother of four sons, two OF
whom were injured while crossing
Sixteenth street NV. at Kennedy
street, has a campaign under way
for traffic signal at that intersec-
ton.
She is Mrs. Francis ]. O'Hara, jr.,
1910 Longfellow street NV.
Il don't have much time" she ex-
planned, but when my children get
hit get mad enough to do some
thing about it,"
Yesterday afternoon she pre-
sented to the third annual Trafic
Court Conference, during its "gripe
session. petition bearing $50
names asking for the traffic signal.
If she had had more time, she ex-
planned she could have obtained 300
names.
The two sons who were struck,
9 and years old, were crossing
Sixteenth at Kennedy in the after
noon and were being helped across
the street by a truck driver, she
said. The boys we're not seriously
injured. They attend Sacred Heart
Academy
Another son, Is, attends st.
Johns College. The fourth is an
infant.
Last Light at Decatur.
The last light on Sixteenth street
is at Decatur street, Mrs. O'Hara
said. For four miles out to the
District line, there is no light, and
people just step on the gas and 60. V
She added that, in only part OF a
block there are 20 children who
must cross the intersection.
She said the Commissioners direc-
ted the installation of light there
on February Is, 1912, but that the
project was halted because OF a
wartime shortage. of wire.
There was another grippe about
uncontrolled traffic on upper Six
teenth street. Maurice o. Eldridge
former traffic director, Said a signal
was needed at Fuller street.
Three people-two women and
one man-have been killed there.
he said. Zone evening it took me
20 minutes to get across the street.
George E. Keneipp, traffic director,
to whom Mrs. O'Hara presented her
petition at the meeting, said his
department has listed AZ intersec-
tions where trafiic signals are need
ed. He said the Sixteenth and
Kennedy intersection does not meet
the standards set for light but that
he feels one is justified there.
But it's a question of priority and
the money available" he said, "and
that's up to the Commissioners"
Ticket Fixing" Opposed.
The Traffic Court Conference was
arranged by the District Bar As
sociation, the Commissioners Traf-
fic Advisory Board and the Junior
Chamber of Commerce. Sessions
were held in the Municipal Court
Building.
The meeting adopted resolution
calling for the elimination of traffic
ticket fixing" 1t was one OF a
number of resolutions adopted, pre-
sented by a committee headed by
John C. Poole, newly elected chair
man OF the Junior Bar Section of
the District Bar Association.
The resolution recommended ad-
justment of traffic charges only
upon a hearing and with the reason
for the adjustment plainly shown
on public records.

SIGNS COP HOUSING BILL

WASHINGTON President Tru man Tuesday signed the housing bill Tuesday with a blast at the Republican-eOntrolled Congress for deliberate neglect" of people most in need of adequate Living quarters
 Mir. Truman said the measure falls far short of the legislation which could and should have been enacted He said in a statement that he was signing the bill be- cause it would be "Of some help in meeting the critical housing shortage.

Alaska has much to offer ven ture capital. Our natural resources are one of the greatest treasures of our national economy" Stump continued. Before embarking on a venture in new, untried field. in vestors demand that the taxation program be a fair, equitable one. They want to be sure that tax laws don't make it impossible for them to get a fair return for their savings. That is the basis for our American system of free enter prise. The residents of Alaska must carefully consider any legislative program in this light"
 The new Association is interest ed in receiving pertinent informa- tion on the subject of taxes from any interested citizen or groups. The Association has contacted the Tax Foundation. Inc. of New York, a national philanthropic or ganization which works with other state taxpayers associations in the United States for the purpose of se- curing assistance with the Alaskan tax problems. Headquarters will be at Ketchikan, Alaska.
 It is also the hope of the new or ganization, that local committees in each city will be formed for the purpose of making a survey of municipal taxation problems This information will be correlated with the Territorial tax program for the purpose of providing Territor- ial funds to all municipalities.

FORM TAXPAYERS ASSOC.
 TO STUDY TAX SYSTEM

KETCHKAN Establishmen of the Territorial Taxpayers Asso- citation, an organization formed to study Alaska's basic tax structure and to foster legislation designed to attract new industry to Alaska was announced by ". c. Stump. ketchikan attorney.
 The group is territorial wide and the following well-known Alaskans are serving as the first Board of Directors: z. J. Loussac. Mayor of Anchorage: Dan Lhemon, of Fair banks: Henry Hogue of Juneau: Theodore Kettlespn. Sitka. Emery F. Tobin, Editor and Publisher Of the Alaska Sportman. Ketchikan.
 W. C. Stump will act as Exeeu- tive Secretary.
 As permanent residents of the Territory, we are yitally concerned about the taxation base" Stump said No one wants to pay more taxes but we recognize that the present needs of the Territory re- quire more funds and the future development will not lessen that need Studies should be completed and submitted to the people of the Territory regarding the financltl needs Of the Territory and the equitable distribution of the tax burden in the Territory. All pro posed legislation should be studied with a view to it's effect on our tax problem. Legislation should be encouraged that will favor develop ment of new industry and not pen alize private enterprise
 "The Territory to day Is in the position where it's entire future de- bends upon attracting new indus try and developing our natural re- sources. Only a diversified economy is the solution to Alaska's future and permanent population"
 Stump pointed out that Alaska must compete with other regions, including foreign countries, who are eageer to attract new indus tries. He pointed out the long fight that southeastern Alaska made to induce the pulp industry to utilize the perpetual supply of timber a vailable in that area.

COP Pledges To Help Friendly
 Nations Recover

Continued from Page One, dent conservation of our own re- sources, we shall aid other friend ly, independent nations to stand on their own feet in defense of their own freedom. Western civil ization shall survive"
 Vandenberg put this warning to Moscow on top of another aSSer- ton: That it would be a danger ous miscalculation for the Kremlin to believe that President Truman's election means any softening in American opposition to further Russian expansion.
 While he did not specifically promise support of any military aid plan, Vandenberg'S statement seemed to represent a step beyond the point he was willing-or able ito reach in his United Nations resolution which the Republican, controlled Senate adopted last June.
 That resolution pledged only: Progressive development of re- gional and other collective ar arrangements for individual and col lee i've self-defense in accordance with the purposes, principles and provisions of the U. N. charter. Association of the U n i t e q States, by Constitutional process with such .. . arrangements as are based on continuous and effective self-help are mutual air, and as affect is national security"

 Ut was colder than that" one pilot observed, when we took off from Tucson, Ariz., last night"
 The thing that troubles the air force men is that they flew 2,600 miles for the first tests of the B-50 under Arctic conditions. They had been looking forward to tempera- lures down to 40 below zero.
 The B-50's were the first super SuperfortS to reach here from United States. They left Davis Monthan field at Tucson at 11:35 pm. Wednesday night. Some were held over night at Spokane by bad weather.
