AUTO DRIVERS, HERE'S
 ONE YOU GAN FORGET
Surprise on Juneau!

Surprise on Juneau!
 Instead of being urged to get city drivers licenses before June l, Ju- neauites are going to be able to forget this obligation.
 The City Council went on record last night as favoring discontin- uance of the license for private citl- zens. The examination still will be required of cab drivers.
 As the license normally would be required so soon, and three read ings of the ordinance repeating that section of the traffic ordinance are necessary, the council authorized City Clerk Jack Popejoy to discon- tinue the sale of such licenses.
 Early bird" purchasers of city drivers licenses will not suffer, however, as the dollar fee will be refunded when the ordinance be- comes effective About l60 drivers already have their licenses.
 Autoists must be sure, however, they have their Territorial drivers license.

Building Trades Sense
(St. Louis Star-Times)

(St Louis Star Times
 round of increases in construction wages at this time would mean thing-an increase in the cost of new homes and other buildings. Time was a year or so ago, when the prospect could have been shrugged off as just another twist of the inflationary wheel Higher wages meant higher costs, but buildings were being built and people were buying them.
 Things have changed in recent months Blue prints of new projects have been folded up and laid away New homes sold before the basements were dug stand finished and unsold.
 It is to the credit of leaders of nine A. F. L. building industry unions in St. Louis that they recognize this situation Their decision to forego at emps to raise wages should contribute to the stabl- zaon of an industry for which the danger flags are flying.
 The demand for construction remains high, but the old willingness buy at any price has dlsap- peared The time has when any increase III building costs could all but paralyze the mdustry
 These unions acted in their own best interest. Widespread unemployment would be poor reward indeed for an increase in hourly wages. The puphc interest is also involved. The public needs the new homes that can be provided only if proper prlce balance is maintained And it needs continuing healthy construction industry if it is to avoid general economic collapse

eToP sECRECYr CLOAK

What goes on inside the board is tcp secret, but certainly the public is at least entitled to know whether 1t is functioning smoothly. Despite this, officials are using the cloak Of secrecy to hide what the board isn't doing instead of what 1t IS do.ng
 Here is an illustration of how the secrecy run-around works: When this column inquired how many times the board had met since Wallgren's appointment, press chief Charlie Schwarz sadly replied that this was classified information. He couldn't produce a directive show ing it was classified, but the secre- tariat, H Dewayne Kreager had told him so Later Schwarz called to say that he had found the minutes of the board, agreeing not to tell what went on at the meet ings. He interpreted this to mean that the number of meetings should also be kept secret.
 Real truth is, the board hasn't met at all since the Wallgren fight began. This was revealed by a less cautious board official who quickly added that the board probably" meets informally" after Cabinet meetings.
 The board has been given some direction by Presidential Assistant John Steelman, the pinch-hitting, part-time chairman. But Steelman already had his hands full before he took on this extra burden.
 Meanwhile, ether key men have been dropping out like Indians bit ing the dust-Vice Chairman R. f. Gilmore, who went back to Sperry Gyroscope; General Counsel Ken meth D. Johnson. who took jot as a dean at Columbia University Director of Production George Eel ton, who returned to his leather factories in New England; and Di- rector of Economic Management E. T. Grether, who returned to the University of of California.
 Underlings have been moved up Into the vacancies left by John scn and Felton. But Gilmore and Grether haven't even been replaced
 The board is also looking for re- placements for more than 30 lesser lights who became discouraged and quit. Those remaining are feudine over policy or breeding over lack of work One fight is over the estab- lshment of board of experts oi industrial production information Suggested by Economies Director Glenn Mclaughlin, this was oppos- cd by others who claim they car find the production answers with cut powered help.
 It's going to take heroic efforts by the new chairman to get this vital agency back on the track.
 Note Truman fought with every political trick i'll the book to get Wailgren confirmed. He wheeled, threatened, even offered job bribes

SUPREME COURT DOG

At the Supreme Court this week, Ernest A. Cole, who worked his way up from watchman to lieutenant of the guard, was given gold badge and retired to private life.
 Most people who honored Cole. including the Supreme Court Jus tices, did not know that in addi- tion to his faithful service, he had another distinction. when the corn erstcne of the new Supreme Court building was laid, it contained a copy of the Declaration of Inde pendence, famous addresses of fa- nous justices, photograph of Will jam Howard Taft who had planned the building, copy of the Consti- tuition and finally picture ot of another Supreme Court fixture, not as famous as Chief Justice Taft, but just as beloved by some.
 Without the frock-coated justices knowing about it, and as deftly as Jchn Marshall once inserted his Marbury vs. Madison wedge into the Constitution, thereby giving the court the right to rule on acts Of Congress, Watchman Cole had slip ped this picture into the steel box of the cornerstone.
 It was a picture of Fanny, the Supreme Court collie bitch, giving suck to her seven pups The learn cd justices did not know Fanny, but the watchmen loved her She had come from nowhere, but she was their dog and this was her big day. .
 So the picture of Fanny now lies side by side with that of Chief 1 Justice Taft encased in marble as l permanent as the system which Taft, as guardian of the Const!tu- ton, sought to perpetuate. And this week Lieutenant Cole, who lov- ed Fanny and wanted her name | cerpetuated, retired from the force.
