She shook her head hefplessly. Its not

things just find out. He can't play on the
ball team after school; he's too small. He's
not fast at running. He feels left out; he
isn't one of the pack. But he can ride a bike;

Looks like Joe has his eyes
fixed on the National Open
Tournament. The sectional quail
flying rounds, in which Joe will
participate, are to be played on
the hazardous Ponte Vedra Golf
Course near Jacksonville this
coming May 80. Joe qualified on
this same course in 1916, and
went from there to the Open
Tournament staged in Cleveland,
Ohio. This year the Open will be
played in Chicago.
With a bit of personal en-
couragment from the. Club and
from individual members and
other golfers, Joe should be able
to push his shoulders back, enter
this Open Tournament, and come
back home with laurels due him.

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

It is also a fact that Sheppard did his best to knife the transmits sion lines appropriation for Califor- nia's Central Valley project.
 Behind the closed doors of the Appropriations Committee. Shep- pard offered a motion to cut the appropriations fer the California project, but he was defeated by a 17-l4 phcto-finish. If he had been successful, it would have started q wave of amendments to close the purse strings on other transmission lines.
 Sheppard's amendment was SUD- ported by all the Republicans ex- cept WaShingtons Congressman Walt Horan, who simply voted pres ent. Sheppard, however, went to great pains to round up four Dem ocratic votes-George Mahon of | Texas, Robert Sikes Of Florida, w. F. Norrell of Arkansas and Edward Krause of Indiana. A fifth, Albert Thomas of Texas, remaining neu- tral, voted present
 1 Later, when word of Sheppard 5 party got to young Kruse, he call cd upon Chairman Clarence Can- non oof Missouri, offering to change his vote. Kruse explained that he had supported Sheppard because he thought Sheppard was right, but that he had a deeper conviction against high-pressure lobbying
 ] This was the second time Kruse had changed his vote because of 1 lobbyists. He had also intended 1 to vote against rent control until the real-estate lobby descended up- on him and tried to tell him how l to vote.
 Meanfhile, the private power lobbyists are continuing to try to cut off public power at the source. Without transmission lines, public power will he bottled up and can only be distributed by private com- panies.
 The professional lobbyists are now adopting the real estate lobby's tactics of bringing pressure from lccal constituents who have influ-

 The snaushot of the horsedrawn fire wagon is one of collection of yellowing pictures of scenes from as far back as the 1890's turned over to the Junior Chamber ot Commerce by private parties and put on dis play by PAA.
 Pictures show steamships coming into a Juneau Harbor that has nary a dock in sight.

 Juneau City and Franklin Hotels, pictured as of 1890 and 1888, look little rural as compared to Juneau's 1949 hotels.

ECONOMIC FUTURE OF U. s.

The London Times considers internationally the economic future possibly facing the United States
 The Times thinks the mood in America is one of uncertainty rather than alarm It says that to main tain prosperity labor and the farmer as well as the businessmen will have to be willing to make adjust ments and abate hard and fast demands. The danger that needed adjustments may not be made and that fears of slump may bring one about.
 If should develop, the chief concern of Britain will be to see whether the United States is now able with it's experience of the last depression and with stabzing devices to ward off the speading conse uuences national and international,' the Times concludes.

Exeunt Soviet Art Critics
(St. Louis Star Times


 Pravda has opened it's big guns on group Of Russian art critics Its criticisms of the critics are amusing-that is, until they translated into the brutal reality of Soviet life
 When Pravda says that the critics are esthetizing nonentities it is condemnng them for still consider ing beauty and truth important When it says the critics are bearers of repusve "cosmopolitansm it is beratng them for still having the windows in ther minds and souls open to the outside world. When Pravda rails at the critics for obectng that Soviet heroes are always pictured victorious, Pravda is railing at a sense of proportion When Pravda abuses critics for preerring the classics to contemporary Soviet drama is really attacking sense of history
 But when Pravda asks their eradication from the field of art" Pravda means just thateradication not only from the field of art but very likely also from the face of the earth.
 It is through criticism that the human race has managed to out of the and lead civilized life The first who objected to a general error because he thought he right the first critic Free will greve at the fast-quckening trend n Soviet life away from reason and back to fanatlcal superstition Their grief will be tempered by -heir confidence that in between the Soviet tyranny and the human spirit the Soviets cannot win. Their defeat may be long time coming. They may drag much of the world down with them in ruin But their doom is sealed
