PRESIDENT SAYS
 WORLD DOES "..nr
 WANT FURTHER WAR

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21- R - President Truman said today there would never be another war if the peoples of the world, sick oi bloodletting," could have their way
 But while captive peoples "are made to respond to our handclasp with mailed fist, we have nc choice but to stand ready in self defense" he declared.
 The President spoke at Arlington National Cemetery. accepting a Carillon memorial to the war dead from the American Veterans of World War IT. Allied diplomats from many nations, and high rank ing military and civilian officials were in the audience.
 It was only coincidence that MT Truman spoke on the birthday of Soviet Russia's Premier Stalin and he did not mention Russia by name.
 But allusions to the Russian threat to peace were plain and repeated. They were clear, too, in a brief address from Norwegian Ambassador Wilhelm Munthe dc Morgenstierne, the dean of tht diplomatic corps.
 The Ambassador said those who died in the war should know that without their fight the entire world might today be in a state c. abject slavery"

HANGAR C0LLApSES SMALL BOAT HARB0R

An aircraft hangar in the Small Boat Harbor collapsed late this afternoon trapping two sons oi Douglas Mayor Mike Pusich be- heath it.
 The boys, Mickey and Rudy Pu- sich, were rescued by two uniden7 tified men who ripped out one side and brought them to safety. The hangar fell from it's log floats ana made a 45 degree plunge into the water.
 The two youths were able to cling to it's sides until they were reached. The Juneau Fire Department answering the alarm 5-3 rushed to the scene, but the lads were safe before they arrived. They were un- injured, although wet and cold. They remained on the scene, how ever, to attempt to raise the col lapsed structure.
 The hangar, belonging to the Fish and Wildlife Service, and
 
 housing an Aeronca Sedan belorg- ing to the Pusich boys, was noticed to be sinking slightly earlier in the day.
 We were in rowboat attempt ing to get the plane out from un- der," Rudy said, when suddenly the whole thing went ka-plrnk" The structure, approximately 40 feet square and some Is feet high, went down at a 45 degree angle, the high end facing shore. The plane is believed partly under wal CT, but because of its floats, prob ably not far down.
 The boys believed they were in the water Is or 20 minutes, they said. Rudy's wife was awaiting their getting the plane out in their car on Harbor Way, and when she saw the collapse, telephoned the fire department. They received the all arm at 3:58 pm.
 A caterpiller tractor was being secured late today to right the structure and release the plane.

.pAR(EL WINDOWS
 AT POST OFFICE OPEN UNTIL BPM

Swamped by the Christmas load of parcel post, the Juneau Post Office will remain open evenings until pm. in an effort to move all Christmas packages before the holiday.
 Only parcel and COD. mail windows will be open after usual post office hours, Mrs. Crystal Jen- ne, Juneau postmaster, said today
 A few parcels brought to Juneau by the Princess Norah and all brought by the Denali are yet to be distributed, she said.
 People of Juneau should pick up their parcels as soon as possible after being notified to speed up distribution of the remainder of the packages, she declared.
 Although no extxra help has been hired for the Christmas rush, Mrs. Jenne said that eight substitute post office employees and the re- gular stair are working aS mucfi as Is hours each day tussling with holiday mail problems.
 She said it is the largest Christ mas the Juneau Post Office has had.
 Explaining the lack of extra Christmas help, Mrs. Jenne said the funds for operating the Juneau Post Office were so short. due to the increase in year-round employ ment to handle increased amounts of mail handled here. that no extra employees could be hired.
 Mail shipments to Juneau have been so heavy that the full staff plus eight substitutes have had to be used continually, she said.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
lcoDyrisn.. ls4s. by Bell syndicate. Inc

Copyright, 1949, by Bell syndicate Inc. " ASHINGTON-Th imitation row between Secretary of the Trea- sury Snyder and Federal Reserve dynamo Mariner Eccles attracted headlines recently: But when the two men met behind the closed doors of a Senate committee, the final results of the feud were hush ed up.
 It was Snyder who, perhaps knowing he would be no match for the shrewd and experienced Eccles, insisted on a closed-door meeting. However, here is what happened.
 Present at the Senate session was Tom McCabe, popular, easygoing Federal Reserve Chairman who agrees with Snyder on most things. and who pleaded with both Eccles and Snyder to cease their public squabbling" because of repercussions on business and the stock market.
 Eccles shot back that stock-mar- ket reaction to his dispute with Snyder was far outweighed by the future economic and financial well fare of the nation. It would be bet ter to have a showdown now, pub- lie or otherwise, he said, rather than wait until imitation hits us.
 The press has made this per- sonal dispute between Secretary Snyder and myself. but it's not that at all,' Eccles declared. Its a question of deep, fundamental policy that affects the future well fare of every man. woman and child in the United States. The

TELLS BANKERS TRY
TO HALT INITIATION

Continued from Page One)
city bankers about farm financ
ing.
Consumer credit, quoted at $3K
billion, was an important topic
at the bankers session. "We're
not too far out on the limb
now" Some industries have rur
into over-production, particularly
in appliances, and would like ex'
tensive credit for time-payment
buyers. Not long ago people took
refrigerators away from dealers
Housing continues to be a ma
tional problem, though a close
scrutiny suspected it was exag-
gerated in spots. In Baltimore
an area of 1000 houses priced al
$4,000 finds few takers. Six
hundred have not been sold.
The bankers concluded that
1--WE are fighting on three fronts:
Communism in a cold war while
we pour money into Europe; in
flation (whip it or it will whip
us); and free enterprise on trial
for it's life"
An experienced and widely re-
spected banker at the meeting
said he thought Harry Truman
was "doing a pretty good job,
by trying to hold expenses down
and paying bills"
Before going into a recital of
the bankers meeting, Harris de-
scribed a session of Chicago Ro-
tary club No. l. AS in all big
towns where space is reckoned in
number of people per square foot,
as compared to square miles in
the Rocky mountain west, old
No. l had to do things efficiently,
and coldly. All visitors, about
100, were asked to rise and make
their bow en- masse; members
made no attempt to know each
others names, not even by wear
ing an inscribed dinner plate; and
there was no singing, except for
the national anthem after the
salute to the flag.
A personnel man for Safeway
was the speaker, on what Rotary
stands for and what he called
the four-way test: (1) Is it the
truth? (2) Is it fair to all? (3)
Will it build good will? (4) Is
it good for all concerned?
Many of the Chicago Rotarians
left when a movie was announced.
At the Laurel meeting, Pres.
Oliver Void commended Fred w.
Graft for his careful attention
to Rotary duties, though just re-
turned from a hospital where he
underwent an operation on
of his eyes last week. Graft re-
sponded and thanked the club for
flowers that had been sent him.

Sorg and Jim Phillips will be at
the forward spots and along with
Leis will go after both back
boards. This is a feature that
fans have noted about the Lo-
comotives, and to designate one
player as a forward and another
as a guard seems only superflu-
Gus except for the starting tip
off. So on defense it will be
Bill Sorg and Leo Yeager at
guards, but forwards on defense.
Lose Two and Win
One In Wyoming
The Worland Warriors evened
up a four-game series, with the
home town club edging the Lo-
comotives 80 to % and 40 to 80
during a vacation trip. A fight
ing Panther team from Powell
put on a last period rally before
bowling 1885 for the Laurel win.
The Powell club plays a return
game in Laurel next Friday in
what promises to be another close
one.
The Laurel club, winding up a
suicide schedule of three games
a week for three weeks, showed
the effect and no matter what,
just couldn't hit. In the second
game the gift losses went to an
all-time low when only three out
of ~ found the mark. Laurel
outscored Worland from the field.
In the first game they tailed
an equal number of field goals,
but missed II out of 10 gift
losses.
The games were rough, as ex-
pected, and perhaps a little
rougher with the officials going
all out the first night to save
the whistle. At one time in the
game it looked like football sea-
son was back. However, the
Laurel boys moved into the fra
cas- on equal terms for the second
game and with a little more luck
could have broken even on the
series.
At Powell the Panthers saw the
Laurel team build up a nine
point lead and then catch fire
with their long shots to close
the gap to a one-point 1886
score with but one minute to
play. Two attempted long shots
missed and Laurel broke loose
to ice the game with a layup
by Bill Sorg.
