(AA DIFFERS
 WEIGHT RULE
 0N(-46L0AD

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15-tR- Amos E. Heacock of Seattle said last night the Civil Aeronautics Administration has deferred until Dec. l the application of new regu- lations governing the gross weight of some types of planes carrying both freight and passengers.
 Heacock, President of the Inde- pendent Air Carriers Conference ot America, has contended that the regulations would ground nearly all scheduled lines flying cargo into Alaska
 The curbs on gross loads of GAG planes, originally announced by the CAA on Nov. 1, had been scheduled to take effect Nov 16.
 Heacock said he and other in terested persons, at a conference with CAA and Civil Aeronautics Board officials yesterday, also ob- tained an interpretation of the rul- ing which will permit full pay load operations of GAGS on most Alaskan and US. routes after Dec. l."
 Heacock said a previous inter pretation would have cut the gross loads of GAGS carrying both cargo and passengers from 10,500 pounds to from 5000 to 5000 pounds.
 He said that restriction would have made continued operation by nine carriers serving Alaska "eco- nomically impracticable."
 No scheduled airlines are now using GAG planes in passenger operations, he said.
 Heacock said Harold A. Jones, a member of the CAA, plans to leave here today for Seattle and thence on to Alaska to study the needs ot the Territory for air service.

 "The Secretary and l." he added, plan to expand facilities as they are required, and hope to keep alive to Alaska's needs to the best of our operational judgment in the reformed 17th District"
 Gov Ernest Gruening was called on to introduce his friend of long standing, Secretary Snyder. In a brief talk well sprinkled with hu- nor, Gov. Gruening pointed out that, "of all the important federal agencies operating here, none merits more approval than the Coast Guard. It works 365 days, in fair weather and foul" Then, with neat pun on revenue" in the di- Irections of Coast Guard cutter and Treasury Department, Gov. Gruen- ing welcomed Secretary Snyder as a sourdough, on his second annual visit.
 SNYDER IS COMPLIMENTARY
 Secretary Snyder told an apt little anecdote of the South flom his Arkansas childhood), then conr- mented, If you want a new state and when you want statehood yours should be the most beautiful one of all. Your scenery is unparal- leled.
 And your people" here the Secretary reached for superlatives, characterizing Alaskans as intel ligent, aggressive, forceful people, with clear vision and unlimited vigor."
 The Secretary echoed Admiral O'Neill's remarks about the inn portance of the Territory for its key defense points, and added his testimonial" as to the Depart ment's interest in Coast Guard op- erations here.
 GIFT FROM c. OF c.
 With President Fred Eastaugh making the presentation, the Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce gave Secretary Snyder, "a great cabi- net officer" a desk pen in an ivory holder carved by King Islanders. To both the Secretary and Admiral ONeill. Eastaugh expressed the

CIVIL AIR pATR0L
 TO ASSIGN DUTIES, HAVE INSTRUCTION

The many persons who have re- quested application forms for mem hership in the Juneau Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol are asked to take the completed applica- tions to the meeting at 7:30 pm. tomorrow. Members and prospective members will gather at that hour ill the office of the Resident En- gineer at the Army Dock.
 Squadron Commander Alan G. Marcum calls attention to a special service that will he available at the meeting. Qualified members will be there to take the necessary finger prints and identification pictures.
 With their eyes on the future service of the Civil Air Patrol through its air cadet pre-tlight training program, Juneau and Douglas enthusiasts hope to com- plete the administrative set-up inn mediately.
 The ultimate aim of the program for boys and girls 15, 16 and r years old is to create continuing Lody of air cadets whose interest in aviation will carry them into the aircraft industry as scientists executives. mechanical and main tenance experts and as navigators and pilots.
 Largely through CAP activities, aviation is winning a permanent place in the nations education system, alongside traditional sub jects. Formal recognition has been given by the American Association of School Administrators, who voted to establish Council for Aviation, to advise schools wishing to incorporate the subject in their teaching schedules.
 Some high schools already allow credit toward graduation of stu dents who have completed CAP courses.
 An international exchange of cadets was started this year with England, France and Switzerland, and last year with Canada, cadets going to encmpments in the vari- ous countries.
 First, we must have good ad- ministrative organization" said Marcum today. Tt is lining up well, but we can always find good assign ments for persons with specialized experience and interests. Men and women with experience in supply, photography, finance and en- gineering fields will be especially welcome at the meeting tomorrow night"
 After screening of applications, assignments will be made tomorrow to vacant positions, and there will re general discussion of CAP activities and what each member

Keep Boeing
 Drive Now Nation 's-(ain

SEATTLE, Nov. Expand ing interest-with scattered cities throughout the nation now con- cerned about their relative vul- nerability" in case of attack-is a result of the continuing campaign of the Defend Seattle-Keep Boeing Drive, Sen. Harry P. Cain said here.
 Proof that Seattle's effort-al- most purely local fight two months ago-has caught on" na- tionally is spotlighted, the Wash ington Republican Senator said, by he following developments:
 IA joint House unof- ficial defense committee has been organized on bipartisan basis It is hoped this group will spearhead Congressional action on defense during the second session of the 51st Congress.
 2.-Supporting this. Congressional committee is the new All-America Defense Association. Groups in Bristol, Conn, Boston, Mass; De- troit, Mich; Cleveland, O.; Min neapolis, Minn.; San Francisco, Calif.; and Salt Lake City, Utah, are on the move.
 Alaslh Keystone
 It is hoped to inspire a program to erase the vulnerability which the Air Force has said exists in cer- tain areas and provide an aggressive defense program, Cain declared.
 Tn all consideration to date, it has agreed that Alaska is the keystone of the entire program, Cain continued.
 We hope in this program to de- velop both the defense and econ- omic welfare of Alaska. which in 2 sense is an important factor of defense itself.
 Tn this latter program we in- clude the projected new railroad, linking Seattle with Fairbanks, ex- tension of existing roads and the construction of new ones, and the building up of basic industries to give Alaska some semblance of in- dustrial stability, which, at present, it does not enjoy"

 BANFIELD SPEAKS FOR
 COMPANY
 Attorney Norman Banfield, PreSl- dent of the Community Building Corporation, recounted some of the problems and details of interest in the young company.
 He said, "The Chamber Of Com merce initiated the idea, with in- structions to get the building built. Juneau realizes" he continued, that its economic and social life is founded on the Government and it's branches. Government, to be eff fective, is centralized here ;. and no branch of the Government is ot greater importance to Juneau than the Coast Guard"
 Captain Haugen who, said Gov ernor Parks, is remembered well for his service in these waters 20 years ago on the old Unalga," spoke very briefly in introducing Admiral ONeill.
 That tall, lean, blue-eyed admiral spoke colorfully of the service he is soon to command.
 ADMIRAL KNOWS ALASKA
 Many of the richest traditions of the Coast Guard he com mented, were born in Alaska :. when the Coast Guard cutter was the only contact with small villages in the westward, when it brought mail, the physician; transported government officials, patrolled the Pribilofs, enforced regulations foI pellagic sealing, and (what was especially familiar to me), main-

Dear Mrs. Post: On the letter

should the officers names be listed
as Mrs. John Smith. president. etc.
or Mrs. Mary Smith. president, or
simply Mary Smith, president? ?
Some members argue that it is not
good form to use husbands names
in this case since the clubs ac-
tivities have nothing to do with
the men.

professional women should be

Too Many Presents
Dear Mrs. Post: Is it customary
to celebrate only certain wedding
anniversaries. such for example
as the lst, 10th. 25th and 50th,
or may in-between ones also be
celebrated with parties? Would
such a party look too much like a
bid for presents?
Answer: This depends upon
what group Of presents are chosen.
The conventional list of very in
expensive trif1es for the between
years make much celebrations
amusing rather than a serious de-
mand on friends pocket books. For
that matter, 1t should never be
considered obligatory that each
and every guest bring a present to
any party other than a shower"
