RECOMMEND USE A. B. HALL SITE
 FOR TERRITORY

The Juneau Chamber of Con- merce this noon recommended that the A.B. Hall be turned over to the Territory as site for the proposed $600,000 Territorial building.
 Executive members of the Cham Der plan to meet with City Council members tomorrow evening in the Council Chambers to carry their recommendation to the City Fath- CTS.
 Chamber members appeared to be in accord with the executive board action. The suggestion met with little resistance, although recom- mendations were made that other sites in the city be investigated as possibilities.
 The Alaska Board of Administra- tion unanimously decided last Fri day that the building authorized by House Bill 1l5 would be construct ed lon some suitable site in the Gastineau Channel area" A sub- committee was appointed to seek such site.
 With speedy action as a prime prerequisite for the city's coopera- tion with the Territory, Chamber members pointed out that the city's clear title to the A. B. Hall prop erty was one of the most vital factors, and would result in little or no delay ID property transference.
 w. Burr Johnson, spoke on be- half of the city council, reminding the Chamber that the matter would have to come before the public in a referendum vote.
 Much discussion was devoted to the desirability of locating Terri torial buildings in proximity to ex- isting facilities, and also consider ing site which would allow for additional governmental building to be added.
 The Chamber also recommended that the City Council consider the advisability of sending Mayor Hen drickson ,c Washington to confer with Congressional leaders regard ing the pending Public Works and Housing Sill
 The suggestion Tor all Mayors of Alaska to converge on Washing ton to put in bids for payt of a $50000,000 appropriation, came from Delegate E. L. Bartlett.
 According to the Delegate, the fund has been designed for the purpose of alleviating necessary public works, public buildings, street systems, fire halls, etc.
 Bartlett pointed out that Ketchi- kan has already asked for aid in construction of a permanent water front street.
 Chamber executives recommended that Mayor Hendrickson be sent to the nations capital to initiate worK on securing for Juneau a national cemetery, Gastineau channel dredg- ing, the Dorothy Lake Power Pro- ject, new boat harhor, work on Gold Creek, and an extension of the Juneau Airport runway.
 G. w. Skinner, president of the Alaska Steamship Co.,, spoke briefly before Chamber members at the request of President F. o. Eastaugn
 Skinner told members that steam ship officials had concluded this morning series of meetings with Territorial officers.
 Most important outsome of the conferences was the designing of a bill aimed at presentation in Congress by the Department of h. terior for the restoration of an in- terim agreement under which the Alaska Steamship Go. can charter government vessels at nominal charge.

Atomic Energy
In Israel

TEL AVN, Jan. II, (Palcor) -
The possibility that sources of
atomic energy may exist in Israel
was limited by Prime Minister
David Ben Gurion in his address
before the annual Engineers and
Architect convention last night.
The Prime Minister spoke of a
gigantic irrigation system chan
nelling the plentiful water re-
sources of Galilee to the fields
of the arid Negev. 1.-TWO other
major tasks facing our engin-
eers," Mr.. Ben Gurian said, "are
building homes for hundreds of
thousands of new immigrants
and finding new sources of en-
ergy in the country, including,
perhaps, atomic energy"

Is The Jew a Product
Of Anti-Semitism?

The contention of Jean-Paul
Sartre and other liberal friends
of the Jews that a Jew is no
more than a product of anti-Sem-
itism is saltily criticized by Har-
old Rosenberg, frequent contri-
butor to the better literary mag
azines, in a discussion of M. Sar-
tres recently published book,
"Anti-Semite and Jew"
I'VE cannot agree with Sar-
ire (and with the assimilation
ist) that the Jew is nothing but
anti-Semite bait. This is a dis
tortion common to Gentle friends
of the Jew. To them the Jew is
one who against his will is kept
from being "a man like every
body else" by the anti-Semite,
who includes every COY who has
not made anti-anti- Semitism his
vocation.
But here in America it
should be clear that being singled
out by an enemy is not . what
makes us Jew The Jewish
identity has a remarkable rich
ness for those who rediscover ii
for themselves.

Consistent With Pact.
In his inaugural address this year,
the President stated as part OF
his program, I'VE will provide MILL
tary advice and equipment to free
nations which will cooperate with
US in the maintenance of peace and
security"
These requests and our replies
therefore In no sense represent a
price tag to be placed upon the
pact. At the same time. by stressing
the willingness of each requesting
nation to do what it can to help
itself, and each other, in the COM
mon cause, they are consistent with
the spirit of the pact.
Our decision to provide assistance
will represent careful, honest
Judgment of an effective means by
which we can contribute to the coll
lective defense of the North Atlantic
area. This program will thus be-
come a powerful factor in assuring
success for the aims of the pact. As
the countries of Western Europe
develop their strength, to resist ag-
erosion, they will become better able
to contribute not only to the peace
and security of the North Atlantic
area, but to the peace and security
of the world.
Let. us now review briefly the terms
of the request. They all emphasize
certain basic principles of vital i'm
portance In assuring the United
States that our assistance will yield
maximum benefits to us as well as
to the recipients.
They all recognize that economic
recovery must be given first priority;
they all recognize in clear terms that
each country must undertake to do
what 1t can to help itself and help
the other parties of the pact; they
all recognize the Importance OF
building up at this time a modest
program of arms production over,
and above, what had been contem-
plated in their budgets for this year.
so undertaken as not to impede the
progress of the Economic Recovery
Program.
In Actual Operation.
OF particular significance Is the
fact that these principles have been
put into actual working operation
by the five western union coun-
tries. Their co-ordinated request Is
the result of careful examination
as q group, of what, as group,
they can do for themselves. Their
