 The project as defense projects go is relatively mex pensiVe The initiative expenditure is limited to 1885, 100000, but ultimately the cost will be $161 O0O 000 more.

 While radar is deadly accurate in spotting and track ing planes that come within range of it's scanning rays there is still way of positively identifying friendly from hostile plane without special equipment.

Dear MT. Boucher:
 Greetings from southern Cal ifornia. I read in the Nugget that you reported only three days Of sunshine while you were here. You would now find the weather made to order. Patios are once again in season, and ours here at the Club is blooming with shasta daisies, iris, and people.
 Since your visit about fifty of us followed in your train as far as the San Francisco Bay area. We went up to give performances Of "DrugStOre Revolution" a play about teen-age America. It was written and produced by teen agers at the MIRA summer train ing center at Mackinac Island, Michigan, in 1945. Since then. I some 150,000 persons have seen t in such cities as New York, BoS- ton, Ottawa, Detroit, Seattle and San Francisco. Before going north we gave a series of performances at Monterey Park. They were 1 sponsored by the Rotary Club there, who did matchless job enlisting community support. The play was written out of ac- tual experiences of one of the fel- l lows, the son of a Detroit labor leader IL tells the story of how the gang who hang out at the cornec I drugstore learn to fight together for something bigger than them selves. And because the boy finds the secret of being willing to change, his home is reunited.
 Some of the teen-agers whom you met when you were here are in the cast. One of them is Bill Harris from Ontario, who is a handy lad with acamera and who loves skiing. Bill tells of the thrill of racing down his favorite noun tain on skis, "but the greatest ad- venture of my life has been train ing and working with this gang in MIRA" Bill is the slap-happy in play, and the twinkle in his grin goes with the part.
 While we were on the trip we lived in homes all over the Bay area. Ii was unique privilege tO walk into the hearts and lives of so many families. 1 arrived at the modern hilltop home of an adver- Using executive and discovered i that his daughter had attended Willamette University in Oregon. my own alma mater.
 This family was host to all of us one afternoon when a number of students who had seen Drugstore Revolution" wanted to know how they could apply the same spirit , in their own homes and schools. ! One highly colorful event during the course of the afternoon was the escape story of Captain Ronald Mann, who walked seven hundred miles to freedom. He told us of his time in prison camp, his escape. and the incredible adventures Of his journey to the Allied lines. Since the war Ron has spent many months working with a Moral Re Armament task force in the Bri-
 tish coal fields.
 We made the trip in a motor
 cavalcade of seven station wagons.

BEAT up JUNEAU
MAN LAST NIGHT

Hospitality was repaid with a
vengeance last night by two SAIL
ors from the USS Pasadena when
Robert Rice agreed to give them a
ride to Douglas and ended up by
being beaten, knocked out, and
had his wallet, wrist watch, and
Cal stolen.
The inciuenJ occurred about mid
night and Rice didn't recover con-
seriousness until 2 am. when he was
able to stumble onto the Douglas
highway. He was discovered by Lou
Hicks of the Yellow Cab Company,
who drove the injured man i'm
mediately to st. AIMS Hospital.
DR.. william Whitehead was called
and he took over so stitches in
sewing up the scalp and face lace
rations that Rice suffered. DR..
Whitehead said the sailors had
used some type of blunt instrument
in delivering the blows. Dirt in some
of the wounds indicated that the
men had used rocks TO deliver the
blows.
Rice, who is ar official in the
Veterans Administration, said he
was driving home about midnight
when two unidentified sailors stop
ped the car and asked fer a ride
to Douglas. He agreed to take them
and on the way over, at the re-
quest of the sailors, Rice stopped
the car and the three men got out.
Rice heard one of the men say,
ok. let's co." One man hit Rice
from behind and the other sailor
started to beat on his face. Rice
was unable to stop his two assail-
ants and was knocked out. The
sailors removed his wrist watch and
wallet and drove off in the car.
Rice was unconscious when the car
left and didn't hear the motor be-
ing started.
The car was discovered by the
Highway patrolmen on Calhoun
avenue about 2:30 am. The car
had been wiped clean of finger
prints. 1t. Emmett Botelho and Sgt
John Monagle of the patrol re-
ported the incident to the officers
of the Pasadena.

BRITISH CRISIS IS
TO BE TAKEN UP,
ECONOMIC CHIEFS
(By The associated Press

tby Inc hsSCCidbcu 1850
Economic chiefs of the United
States, Canada and Britain con-
ferred in London today on the Brit
ish financial crisis.
u. S. Secretary of the Treasury
John W. Snyder told newsmen, Just
before leaving Paris for the London
talks, that he would discuss basic
policies of the recovery program
intended to help make world trade
freer.
Sir Stafford Grips, Chancellor
OF the Exchequer, is representing
Britain at the talks and Finance
Minister Douglas Abbott lis repre-
senting Canada-the only dollar
country in the British Common
wealth.
Those three-nation talks are the
first OF a series of financial confer
ences aimed at solving not only
Britain's problems, but providing a
basis for prosperous international
trading on global scale.
Grips, in his report to the Brit
ish nation this week, said: I'VE
must seek together long-term
remedy for the stubborn problems
of the balance of trade between the
Western Hemisphere and the rest
of the world
A second monetary conference
will take place in London next
week when finance ministers of the
British Commonwealth confer with
Grips.
Washington observers forecast
today that high level talks would
follow between Britain and the
United States in six or eight weeks
to work out long range solutions. 1t
was pointed out in Washington that
the present visit OF Europe OF Sec
rotary Snyder is an investigating
and reporting assignment. Snyder
will report back to the American
President and cabinet. Later talk!
attended possibly by Secretary O.
State Dean Acheson will take place
Americas chief concern with the
present British crisis is that il
means Britain will probably cut
purchases in the U. S. to the
extent of S250,0O0,O0O in the COM
ing year. This will lower Americas
exports of cotton. tobacco. gasoline
and wheat to Britain and will fur
Their shrink U. S. export trade.

In ten minutes, members Of the
Juneau City Council accomplished
the business for which last nights
special meeting was called.
Due to the unusual situation
caused by the change in fiscal
year with the change from April

city's financial standpoint, ended
in April.
Thus, the Council was called to
take care of the matter.
The Council authorized Mayor
Waino Hendrickson and City Clerk
Jack Popejoy to borrow approx
mately $4,000 for the quarterly
payment.
Mayor Hendrickson said today,
Territorial finances are such that,
according to the School Board, the

Planned Now

WASHINGTON, July 8-lR-A
brand new plan to transform the
North Atlantic Pact into a world
wide alliance against aggression
turned up today on Capitol Hill.
Senator Mundt (R-SD), one of
group of Senators sponsoring it,
said it would throw open the North
Atlantic Pact to any nation agree
ing to the principles of free Demo-
cratic nations.
But members, Mundt said, also
would agree to: Cd no veto powers
such as Russia has been using
often in the United Nations; CD
no military use of atomic bombs,
CD international control of atomic
energy; and "a an international
police force.
Senate leaders hope to reach a
final vote on the North Atlantic
Pact itself either Monday or Tues
day. Fewer than a dozen Senators
oppose it. Some, however, want
assurance their vote for the Pact
will not commit them to voting for
the rearmament of Europe.
Mundt said the worldwide pact
plan would be offered as a resolu-
ton in connection with the arms
Europe program which Presi-
dent Truman is expected to send
to Congress next week.
Other developments:

tons Committee yesterday refused
to increase the $1,000, 100000 lin

mittee appeared to he agreed the

ton may have to take a fairly

the Division of Coastal Surveys,
their short visit to Juneau was in
the nature of a homecoming. They
arrived here Wednesday, and left
today.
Both know Alaska well, by Land
and by sea. Early in their careers,
they were on C. & G.. S. parties to
the Territory and in Territorial
waters. Both saw many old friends
during their two weeks in Alaska.
On this trip, Admiral Colbert and
Captain Seattle flew from Washing
ton, d. c., directly to Anchorage,
then transferred to a Photographic
airplane for the trip to Naknek and
Bethel.
This is a Bit which the U. s.
Coast Guard especially fitted out
for cooperation project to take
photos of terrain from high alti-
tude. Equipped with inch aerial
camera (the only one of its type
in the world, the plane makes IL
possible to photograph an area OF
400 square miles at $4,000 feet.
