WHAT A LIEF

In The Citizens story on Monday
about Kathy Fiscus' losing her life in well
at San Marine, Calf, the AP noted that
the stories about the frantic efforts to save
her life made front-page headlines in
newspapers throughout the world, except
those behind the Iron Curtain.
No mention was made in the press or
over the radio about Kathy and the heroic
efforts to save her life, in Russia or her
satellite nations The minister of informa-
ton in Czechoslovakia said the story had
no educational value"
The human interest element in the
story il what appealed to Americans and
people of all other nations, except in Russia
and countries she has under her iron heel.
Those people are not supposed to be moved
sympathetically or otherwise by human in
terest. Dwelling in police states, the peo-
pie must harden themselves or pretend to
harden themselves against any feeling of
a humane nature toward human beings.
Communists must lead hard, bitter life of
reality. They must be so many dumb,
driven cattle" to be MIXED till they are
dry by their leaders, who live in plenty
while the common run of folks struggle to
exist under the shadows of the iron. fist of
ruthless government agents.
The finer feelings that stir in the
human breast has no place in the hard,
stern teachings of communism. It's follow
ers must go through life without sensing
the pleasure of smile, without any up
lift, without a touch of sympathy, felt by
free people toward fellow human beings,
as in Kathy's case.
Be glum and stolid, as are Molotov and
Gromyko; let the state be dominant at the
expense of the happiness of it's people,
Drive on ruthlessly to the end of life. Don't
smile. don't shake friends hand, for that
would be weakness in land of commun-
ism. Live hard and die hard. What lifei

HITS TAX FIGHTING GROUPS"

Five thousand, key school authorities,
administrators. college leaders and teach
ers, attending conference in Philadel-
phia, recently heard DR.. Willard E. Civ
ems, executive secretary of the National
Education Association. charge the United
States Chamber of Commerce and "other
tax-fighting groups" with spearheading
drive against Federal aid to education.
The educator asserted that funda-
mental American principle requires that
taxes should be levied equitatbly upon all
citizens for the services and activities of
the Federal Government. He asserted
that if the position of the Chamber of
Commerce is accepted, the United States
would have "chaos in government" and
the basic pattern of our democratic society
would be destroyed
THE Communist would like nothing
better than the creation of educational
slums in this country" declared DR..
Worth Mcclure. secretary of the Ameri-
can Association of School Administrators,
who says that "if anyone would want to
undermine the American way of life, he
would attack the school system first" Be-
cause of insufficient support, he insisted
that school slums exist in every part of
the country and that unless Federal aid
becomes available they will grow in
number"
DIR. John X. Norton, of Columbia Uni
versity, asserted that the Chamber of
Commerce and other tax-fighting groups
do not represent the great leaders of
American business because, in every
state. he observed there are men "of
great wealth and vision" who are sup
porting the National Education Associa-
ton in its drive for better schools.
Ii is sometime difficult to know how
the majority of the leaders of American
business stand on a public issue because
the organizations which pretend to
represent bushes usually judge every
thing on the basis of whether it will re-
quire the taxation of business.
The sole motive guiding most of these
organizations is the effort to enlarge the
profits of those they represent. 1t is
foolish and shortsighted policy because
il il succeeds in throttling the progressive
measures that the people of this country
demand, there will come a day when the
public will wreak vengeance upon the
well meaning. as we'll as the selfish, lead
ers of American businessz.

Kramer Shows Signs ofRe, turning 10 Form for
 Boston
By JACK HAND AP Sports Writer

Jack Kramer's return to lc4s form with six-hit shutout toi Boston may be the most important development in the American League race since Joe DiMaggio re- joined the New York Yankees.
 Failure of handsome Jack to {. measure up to his brilliant 1895 record of last year almost ruined the Red Sox in early season Kramer lost six in 8 row until he finally broke the streak with relief help, July "A.
 When Kramer cooled off the Tigers yesterday. go, he became the sixth straight Boston starter to go the route.
 Just as DiMaggio's return bol- stered the league-leading Tanks in late June, Kramer could make the difference between the pennant and an also ran to the Red Sox. Dom DiMaggio contributed his bit with a double, hitting in his 32nd straight game. Vern Stephens bashed his 26th homer. Arrival of the St. Louis Browns proved to be just the tonic the faltering Tanks needed. Casey Stengel's gang broke loose with their toughest batting attacks in weeks, sweeping a doubleheader, 10-2 and 10-5.
 Although Cleveland whipped Philadelphia, 3-2, in night game, the Tribe dropped back three full games behind the Tanks. Boston is 51a off the pace. - Mickey Haefner, fired by Wash ington for indifferent perform ance" a month ago, returned with the Chicago White Sox to whip the Senators, 5-1. his first win in his new uniform.

 Brooklyn remained a half game i tehind the Red Birds with 6-4 edge over Cincinnati, their sixth straight.
 Shortstop Granny Hammers error. permitting Ralph Kiner to score in the last of the ninth, enabled Pittsburgh to squeeze past Philadelphia, 1-0, in tight duel between Bill Werle and School boy Rowe. Each allowed five hits.
 The Boston Braves. gradually drifting out of the National League race, were given another shove by the last-place Chicago Cubs who battered Warren Spahn and three successors for IS hits and an 8-3 edge.

COUNCIL VOTES
 TWO ELECTIONS,

Mayor, CouneiImen Terms Up 10 votes-AIso High
 lands Annexation

Two special elections and a pub lie auction of delinquent tax prop erty were authorized last night by the City Council.
 At least one of the elections must be held before October 4, the new date for the municipal election as fixed by the. 1949 Legislature.
 Chapter 36, SLA 194s, which makes the October date mandatory for election of city officials, also provides for varying terms of office for mayor and councilmen.
 Firm and unanimous in their be- lief that the choice of length of term should be made by the voters, members of the present council have worked for weeks with City Attorney Howard D. Stabler on an ordinance to present the problem clearly.
 Last night, that enabling mea- sure, Ordinance 331, was passed in third reading as amended Twenty days after publication of notice, voters will register their prefer ences.
 These two proposals will be on the ballot:
 CD Shall the mayor be elected for a two-year term?
 (2) Shall members of the City Council be elected for three-year terms, terms graduated as provided in the ordinance so that, by 1851, two councilmen shall be elected at each annual election?
 These provisions will be put into effect if the majority of qualified votes cast are for the propositions. Should both proposals fail to carry, both mayor and council will be elected for one-year terms at an- nual October municipal elections
 Highlands Annexation
 Subject to certain technicalities before a petition can be presented to District Court, the Council vot- ed to adopt a resolution annexing the Highlands (Waynor Tract), 8 measure that will be put to the voters after approval of the court.
 To pass the special election. this proposal will require a majority vote inside the city, two-thirds vote by those concerned outside the city limits.

CHAMP RUDY OFF
 TOMORROW FOR SOAP BOX DERBY
Winning Driver by. Plane to National Classic at
 Akron, Ohio

ouAAcdu CiidIupOH soap BON Derby driver. Rudy Maier, will take off by plane tomorrow headed fol Akron, Ohio. and what he is hop ing against hope will be a top spot in the National Soap Box Derby competition, Aug. IA.
 Rudy's smile was even bigger and broader yesterday than it was three weeks ago when he was brought back to the judges stand to receive the championship award in the Ju- neau derby. &
 Ellis Reynolds, who served as director of hill top operations this year and has worked faithfully for number of years in running off the boy racing event, will accom- pany Rudy on the big trip.
 RACER ON THE WAY
 The slick little nile green racer which brought local victory for Rudy is already on its way to Akron, having been shipped several days ago by express. Not until Fri day of next week will Rudy get to see his car which now has Daily Alaska Empire" printed neatly on each side.
 All the cars are put into a special building" the champ says, "and not even the boys can look at them until the day for trial runs"
 Older brother Frank Maier. who made the Akron trip in 1947 has been briefing Rudy on how things will be back in Ohio.
 "All the cars are divided into fast, medium and slow classes for first heats," Rudy explained. T sure am hoping mine will be fast"
 Rudy and Reynolds will stay at the Mayflower Hotel for the first two days in Cleveland, with Rudy moving next Thursday to the spe- cial quarters for all champions at the big YMCA camp.
 Its gonna be lots of fun there" Rudy says. "They have every kind of sport imaginable, with horse back riding and swimming and just everything" As
 SCHOLARSHIP, GRAND PRIZE
 The local champ will have an opportunity to win a four-year college scholarship to any college. the grand prize in the national meet.
 If he's lucky enough to win the second prize, a 1949 Chevrolet four door sedan, Rudy says hell take yellow one, since the win.ler will have his choice of colors. Third prize will be a sound movie pro- jector with sound reels of the l949 and 1948 racing classics.
 Even if he wins no heat, a pos sibility the champ doesn't want to think about, ne will bring. home Q fine wrist watch.
 The 13-year-old champ who. is the son of MT and Mrs. William Maier, Loop Road. beat out Sandy Blanton in the finals here July r. The local derby was under the sponsorship of the Rotary Club and the Daily Alaska Empire. The car goes to Akron as an official Empire car since all national en- tries must have the backing of a daily newspaper.

 On motion of w. Burr Johnson the Council voted to give enthus- iastic support for location in Juneau of a proposed Methodist College in Alaska.
 It was pointed out that while the institution will be supported by denominations funds, it will be Q non-secretarian college, and will enable many of the 75 per cent of high school graduates who now do not leave Alaska for higher edu- cation, to receive advanced educa- ton within the Territory.
 The Councils support in this matter was prompted by letter from the Juneau Chamber of Con- merce, which is to receive copy of the letter Mayor Waino Hen- drickson will send to Methodist Episcopal Church officials on be- half of the city.
 Mere On Housing
 Housing for Coast Guard person. nel and families, as well as other newcomers. was up for discussion as members studied letters from Kenneth J. Kadow, director of the Alaska Field Staff, in which he asked what tax and other consid. erations could be given Martin An. derson to encourage the construc- tion of an $s00.0o0 housing unit. The council instructed the mayor in his reply, after pointing out that taxes for the first year could be refunded but that the present coun- ell can do no more toward later relief than make liberal recommen- dations to the group succeeding it
 Sentiment was against a free building permit. on the grounds that it is a fixed municipal fee and is a burden of at least as great proportion to the builder of g small family dwelling.
 Library Report
 B. Frank Heintzleman appeared to make a report on the Juneau Memorial Library Building. He reminded the council that he, with B. D. Stewart and Dr. James 0. Ry- an. had been appointed about two and one-half years ago to serve on the library committee, empowered to buy the land, raise subscriptions and construct the building.
 Shortly after the appointment the committee bought the property across from the City Hall. and started to get public subscriptions for the building. To date, the k- brary fund has s34,O0O cash in US. Government bonds, and $12,000 in unredeemed pledges. T..
 Due to changed prices and condi- tions, it is now believed that the proper type of building. originally thought to cost $7o,0o0, will come to $l0o,o00. As public subscriptions even in small amounts have been difficult to raise in the past several years, the committee has made no attempt to put on a campaign for funds.
 
 We are eager to put up fine building" said Heintzleman, and we thought from the start that 1t would take at least six years. We still are in hopes that the Public Facilities Bill introduced by Dele
