Fight 70 Save
Home Ru|eDue
In Committee.
House Group May
Review 'BurioI' at
Meeting Tomorrow
By Don S. Warren.

A fight to rescue the Washing
ton home rule plan from its i'm
pending burial in a subcom-
mittee is scheduled at tomorrow
special meeting of the House Dis
trict Committee.
The extra meeting of the full
committee was called by chairman
Mcmillan to hear reports from
all its subcommittees. But the
chief business is expected to be
the home rule report of the Ju-
dietary Subcommittee.
This group, headed by Repre-
sentative Harris, Democrat, of Ar
kansas, voted Tuesday to table
the bill passed by the Senate on
May 81 for an elected city gov
eminent for Washington.
At the same session, the sub
committee decided the action OF
the group should be reported te
the full District Committee.
Would Permit Review.
This would raise the general
subject for review by the full COM
mittee, but it would not bring be-
fore the full committee the city
suffrage bills still in the hands OF
the Harris subcommittee A ma
jority of the seven members OF the
subcommittee opposes even limited
Washington home rule.
With this in mind, Representa-
tive Klein, Democrat. of New
York, sponsor of a bil identical
with the Kefauver bill passed by
the Senate, announced last night
he will seek to overturn the action
of the Judiciary Subcommittee.
He said he will move to discharge
the Harris Subcommittee from
further consideration of the home
rule issue. ..
Unless some other House ousi-
ness intervenes, some committee
sources indicated, hot debate
over the whole city suffrage prob
lem could be expected. The meet
ing will be closed to the public
and the press.
Mr.. Klein said he will fight to
give the House a chance to act
on either the Senate-passed bill
or some other form of the legis-
lation the House District Commit
tee might substitute. He called
the decision of the Judiciary Sub
committee to table the Senate
bill most undemocratic."
Sees House Approval.
Mr.. Klein said he believes the
majority OF the. House member
ship would approve such a bill
and that, therefore, 1.-The least
the House District Committee
should do would be to let the
House have a chance to act"
If the District Committee sus-
tainS the position taken py the
Harris Subcommittee. some mem
bers said, this would pave the way
for a petition to discharge the Dis
trict Committee from further con-
sideration of the home rule issue,
thus bringing it directly before
the House.
This device is rarely successful
in itself. It's chief value is to per-
suade a Congressional committee
to let the issue go to the House or
Senate.

we get something done about this
there's been lot of conversation
in the past-but its only eonversa-
ton there are ways to elimin-
ate both fly ash and soot-let's try.
Flash-for Bluffton kids-they've
got the answer to the S64-question.
Sparklers are not fireworks. Bluff
ton has an ordinance prohibiting
"fireworks." There's also state
law covering essentially the same
ground-however neither specifically
mentions sparklers and debate has
waxed loud and long as to whether
sparklers are or are not fireworks.
Now comes a ruling from the state
that sparklers are not covered by
the law-they're not fireworks. How
ever ignited sparklers will do con-
siderable property damage if care
lessly handled-especially if thrown
on the top of automobiles, will burn
the paint.
And here comes Fathers day,
Sunday-when Dad is king for a
day, receiving his annual tribute of
ties, sox and smokes which makes
him a lot happier than he viii ad-
mit-the idea was started forty
years ago and its grown to the point
where it's well-night a worldwide
event-so don't forget dad next
Sunday.
With wheat harvest in the otfing,
You'll find modern machinery doing
the job in the Bluffton district
which is a far cry from the primi-
tive equipment back in grandfath-
er's day. There are still some old
timers who can recall the following
sequence of grain cutting methods:
sickle, cradle, dropper, reaper, wire
binder, twine binder and today the
combine. It's interesting to pom
der whether the next generation will
see progress correspondingly great.
The 18th is a lucky day for Ralph
Stearns and Dallas Jack" Berry at

they celebrate birthdays and have a
right to a big birthday cake and
everything that goes with it, Ralph

Congratulations and many more
such happy occasions.

 Church. a former U s. Army ranged who was wounded six times in the Dieppe raid, said a man he met later in a German prison camp told him about the funeral. Church spent three years in German pris- on camps.
 The Rev. MT. Marken, formerly chaplain with the 34th Division, said he was in Scotland after the Dieppe raid and was asked to conduct memorial services for seven of the American rangers who didn't come back. Three of them were known to be dead and the other four were believed dead Church was one of the four.
 Church, whose home now is m MarshalltoWn, Ia, receives a pen sion for 100 per cent disability. He is married and the father of 2O-month old daughter.

NEW YORK, Sept 25.-lR-Rev- elation by President Truman that Russia has caused an atomic ex- plosion today reversed decline on the stock market and left it high CT for the third consecutive day.
 Wall Street concluded that the nation now will build up it's arma- ment and that the process will raise employment and prevent any re- currence of recession.
 Before the Truman statement the list had made an irregular decline on reduced volume. Trading picked uu when the market rallied.

Oils had gains ranging to several points Aircrafts rose as a group on out look for larger preparedness orders.
 Strength in utilities was helped by higher earnings reported for Commonwealth and Southern and by a higher dividend for Common wealth Edison.

LAND PLANNING WORK IMPORTANT
 IN FLA BUILDING

R. w. Christensen is interested in neighborhoods.
 He is Federal Housing Authority .and-planning consultant in Juneau from Seattle. Enroute to Anchorage and Fairbanks, he is investigating the zoning laws of Alaska and its cities.
 The FHAs interest in zoning springs from the Housing Author ity's self-interest, he said. Loans for building are often insured by FILA; and the value of a house can be increased or decreased by he ne ghborhood in which it is built"
 For that reason, FILA must be sure that the future of the build ing which grows out of an insured loan is not in jeopardy because of lack of zoning or poor planning. a slaughter house beside a $18,00o home would considerably decrease the selling value of that house; a smoky and noisy railroad yard should not be too near a neigh torhood with a future.
 In his planning work, Chris jensen is also interested in prob lems beside zoning-all of them in the interest of good neigheorhoods.
 He consults promoters who in- tend developing subdivisions. He provides constructive criticism on the street lay-outS of such a sub- division if the plan is not the best, he gives estimates on the cost of improving a site; and he gives ad- vice on the placing of structure upon a site.
 Planning a good neighborhood is insurance itself for the loans made to develop the neighborhood, he said.
 But he is sure he's not the only one who realizes that. People are realizing more and more the im- portance of good sneighborhoods, , he stated
 He is to leave today for Anchor age with Clinton c. Staples, Terri torial Director of FILA.

Juneau Unif, Alaska National Guard, Geis Fed. Recognition;
 Detachment, Territorial Staff

This week the newly created Alaska National Guard joins the 48 states and the Territories oi Puerto Rico and Hawaii in nation wide campaign to build up the American National Guard to ar ultimate strength of 684,000.
 Older than the nation itself, the National Guard has served the country in every major conflict Illustrious names like those ot Washington, Lincoln, and Jackson have been prominent in the his tory of the Guard
 Two-fifths of the divisions in the AEF of World War I came from the National Guard. Just before World War II, induction of the National Guard into Federal service doubled the size of the army.
 Recruiting and organization of the Alaska National Guard. has proceeded apace since the Terri tor.al Legislature, in it's last regu- lar session, enacted law authoriz- ing it's creation.
 When finally completed the Alaska National Guard will total approximately 2,800 officers and men, an integral and vital part of the military establishment in the Territory
 First unit to receive Federal re- cognition in the new Alaska Ma tional Guard was the Headquar- ters Detachment of Juneau, with Capt. Joseph A. Mclean command ing. This Detachment will be the Territorial Staff.
 Other units integrated into the 1st and End Scout Battalions with headquarters at Nome and Bethel respectively, and extending from Point Barrow around the coast to the Aleutian Chain, are in process of organization. Under the tireless leadership of It. Col. Joseph Alex ander. Adjutant General of the Alaska National Guard, many of these units have already gained Federal recognition.
 In the near future, other Guard units will be organized at Anchor age. Fairbanks and southeast Alaska. Juneau will be the nome of elements of a rifle 1attalion.
 Get in the Guard is the slogan of staff officers in Alaska.
