 Copies of the resolution to be sent to all proper officers and departments of the Federal Government the Territorial Legislature, in fact all agencies and persons concerned.
 The opening statement of the resolution as pre- pared by City Attorney Howard D. Stabler sets forth that Mendenhall Bar is not a bar represented by lawyers and jugdes, nor bar which drinks are served Mendenhall Bar is obstruction, barrier an obstacle-more particularly, bar to shipping in Southeast Aaskaspecificaly in and out Of the port of Juneau.
 MT Stabler then states why the dredging of the bar is necessary to shipping giving most excellent reasons.
 At the conclusion of the resolution is the follow ing paragraph:
 The only time in the history of Juneau when the Mendenhal Bar was appreciated was when a high grader gold bullion in attempting to escape in small boat over Mendenhall Bar, with the fruits of his crime was stranded the bar and caught. But such an incident once in 40 years is small com fort to the fishing fleet the mail boats the steamers the Coast Guard, and shipping in general in and out of Juneau.

SILENT JOHN RANKIN

EIouse members can't believe their cyes-or maybe it's their ears-but he most unreconstructed rebel in Congress is now subdued man.
 Temporarily, at least, rootin'- tootin' John Rankin has quit his teudin', iussin' and fightin'. Tip If has oeen his strange docility
 nee being booted off the Un- american Activities Committee.
 After loudly announcing he would light efforts to oust him, Rankin suddenly about-faced and issued an unctuous statement promising to cooperate with House leaders.
 But the most amazing reform is the sudden calm that has settled in h:s vocal chords. Some time ago the Merry Go-Round facetious- Y called Rankin Silent John." NOW, for the first time in his life, he is living up to the pseudonym.
 At the Democratic caucus which OuolCd lNullhlll HUH lilC spy probe committee, he was quiet as a churchmouse during veSpers. Tn fact, it was he who shut off debate by moving for swift ad- journment.
 In the past, Silent John would have teen yelling madly for recon sideration, especially reconsidera- ticn of the vote aimed at him. This time, however, he said noth- ing, perhaps because if he had forced reconsideration, his angry colleagues also might have recon- sidered their approval of his claim to Chairmanship of the Veterans Committee.

RAYBURN'S REAL FRIENDS

Bachelor Speaker sam Rayburn, having no children, gets a great kick out of playing with them. Whenever he wants to relax, he sneaks off to be alone with some of his friends under five.
 That's how Rayburn secretly celebrated his 67th birthday earl fer this month. Officially he was guest of honor at a row of dis tinguished parties attended by the great and mighty-including Pres ident Truman. But the party which Rayburn enjoyed most was given by 13 youngsters.
 His hostess was four-year-old Lindahird Johnson, daughter Of Texas Senator Lyndon Johnson, though her 18-month-old sister, Lucy, turned out to be the life of the party by climing on Rayburn's knee and trying to comb his egg bald head.
 Rayburn's knees we're loaded with kids all afternoon, with his grand nephews Tom Bartlett and Sam Rayborn Worley-neither two years old-claiming first priority.
 The party hit it's climax when Lindabird brought in a cake with 2l candles and a basket loaded with birthday presents. The gift that got the biggest chuckle out of Ray burn was quirt In Texas they are used for getting more work out of mules, and the inference was that Sam might need it to goad some Democratic mules in Con- gress.
 The Speaker was slow blowing out the candles, however, so Sam Rayburn Morley, son of Texas Con- gressman Eugene Morley, started blowing for him.
 Note 1-President Truman came out twice to honor Rayburn on his hirthday-once at Capital lunch con, later at reception given by Attorney General Tom Clark, where the President presented Ray burn with a cowhide suitcase and called him "the greatest Speaker the House ever had
 Rayburn retorted that even the President can exaggerate" Then, with emotion, the veteran Texan
