 Most important achievement of the last year was the raising funds for the Juneau Community Build ing Inc which will bring the District Headquarters of the recently established 7th Coast Guard District here.
 The movement resulting in this building and the coming of the District Coast Guard Headquarters commenced by the successful representations of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce, first by letter later at public hearings held in Juneau by the Coast Guard inspection party headed by Capt. John Richmond, Chief Planning Officer U. s. Coast Guard Head quarters.
 When word received that the Coast Guard would come providing office space and hous- ing were made available, the project was then re- leased to group of leading citizens who formed the corporation raised sufficient funds among public spirited citizens of Juneau to assure completion o the building The group in charge of this corporation, all members of Juneau Chamber of Commerce, includes Wallis S.

 Barkley has visited most of the Iron Curtain countries, including Bulgaria, Finland and Albania. He is a great believer in people-to- people friendship, and has been pressuring the State Department to break through the Iron Curtain and establish contacts with the people behind. That, reasons Barkley, is the only safe and sure way to pre- vent war
 One thing that Vice President Barkley collects on his travels is rare walking sticks. He also has a secret passion for antique figurines, and picked up quite few at bar gain prices in Germany after the war

JOIN THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

With the picture the front page of The Empire of the new Community Building, the promotion Of which was major civic achievement of last winter and the bid of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce for new member elsewhere in this paper, this seems a good time for all of to pay little credit to our Juneau Chamber of Commerce, hard working group of business and professional people who are striving continually for Juneaus growth and betterment
 First of all the Chamber of Commerce is typi- caly American institution composed of men and women interested in the economic development and welfare of its community. Its officers and hardWorkng committee members spend many of their personal and business hours working Chamber projects but few unless Chamber members, know how much is being done by these people for their city.

MODIFYING INFLUENCE

Today Alben Barkley is the most important balance wheel in the Government, and the most effective modifying influence on his chief in the White House. If Barkley had had an opportunity to be with the President before or during his un- fortunate remark about a majority vote on stopping filibusters, the
 Senate would not have snarled it. self up in Southern oratory Noth- ing could have inluriated South ern Senators more than Truman's incorporate remark and Barkley. knowing this, would have given his eyeteeth to have sidetracked it.
 No matter what Mir. Truman does, however, his Vice President remains lC0 per cent loyal Barkley has even explained away Truman's re- ported snub to Governors Strom Thurmond of South Carolina and Herman Talmadge of Georgia when scores of newsmen witnessed the fact that Truman did not raise his hat to salute these two Dixiecrats.
 Barkley Loyalty maintains that Truman did lift his hat to Govern or Thurmond, while, in the case of Governor Talmadge, Barkley points out that the Navy had asked the President to pass judgment on the different groups of naval cadets as they marched by. and the President had turned to a naval officer to give his appraisal of the cadets just as Governor Talmadge passed by

JEFFERsONIAN AUTHORITY

It is rare that Vice Presidents are related. However, Barkley was a second cousin of Vice President Ad- lai Stevenson, who served under Grover Cleveland, which also makes Barkley the third cousin of Illin- ois' new Governor, Adlai Stevenson.
 Barkley has been getting around the country quite a bit lately though Senate leaders wish he would spent more time acting as balance wheel at the Presidents el- bow. Reason for Barkley's trips is that he has become the Demo- cratic Party's favorite speaker at Jefferson Jackson Day dinners.
 This also is close to Barkleys heart, for he is walking encyclo- pedia on Jefferson, having studied his life intently while student at the University of Virginia. When the Vice President speaks on Jeff ferson he seldom reads manu- script, partly because his eyes are net good, but also because it is relatively easy for him to draw from his bottomless vat of knowledge on Jefferson.

CHICAGO, March I2.--ta-Zoom !! And straight up some 9 miles man will ride in a proposed rocket powered winged missile.
 The rocket, says a Chicago re- searcher, will reach its peak almost at the limit of the earth's atmos- phere. Then, he said, it will slide safely back to earth. It will be call the first space ship.
 The carrying rocket is being developed by Eugene A. Maynor, veteran rocketeer and chemicRl and mechanical engineer. Plans for de- velopment and launching of the winged rocket were disclosed by Maynor to war veterans group last night.
 He said his rocket ship should reach a speed of 1,400 miles an hour on it's upward flight, under impetus of 80 seconds of power. It should continue upward for another 60 seconds at 700 mph, indicating a possible maximum altitude of be- tween 30 and 36 miles.
 After the fuel is exhaused and its speed slower, Maynor said, the rocket will become a fully con- trollable glider.

TRUMAN'S 'S0B' CAN'T BE USED
 ON ARMY MAN
By O. H. P. KING

TOKYO, March 12.-tRl- A de- fense contention that if President Truman can call a man an SOB" civilian can use provocative langu- age to an army officer under the military government, failed George w. Angel today.
 Angel, former football player ot New Bedford, Mass, was sentenced " an army court martial to be of ficia,ly reprimanded and fined $500 or to do IS days of hard labor if the fine is not paid.
 Civilian chief fire administra- tor at General MacArthur's head quarters was accused of striking and using provocative language in addressing It. Col. John A. timer son of Peru, Neb., in traffic argu- ment on Dee. 29.
 When the pairs automobile and jeep almost met headon in street, Angel testified Jimerson yelled: T am a lieutenant colonel in the United States army. Get your car out of the way"
 Jimerson testified Angell (who says he was on Walter Camps 1915 America team, and once broke Gen. Dwight Eisenhower leg in tackle during a West Point foot call game). struck him twice and said: You may be lieutenant col- onel in the army but that's just horse manure to me-" a

 The Rough Rider President could not stand the chandeliers because they were so delicately balanced that they tinkled when anyone walked across the floof. So they were banished to the Vice PreSi- dents office on Capitol Hill, where sentimental Alben Barkley likes them and wants to keep them in his office.
