Juneau Spor+smen Seek More PR Funds

Members of Juneau's Territorial Sportsmen, local organization of fishing and hunting enthusiasts. last week agreed to support a bill pending in Congress, which will up Alaska's share of Putnam Robertson funds to $75,0O0. This money, which brings only $25,000 to the territory now, is obtained from an excise tax on the sale of guns and ammunition.
 Juneau club members were told by Jack O'Connor, club president, that there was great loss of deer wherever no grain feeding had been provided this winter The Juneau organization had pur- chased grain for this purpose. It was reported that most of the January crop of lawns was lost, because of stormy weather and lack of nourishing food.

4 Few VI Words To ihe Wise ---

What is the world coming to?" is question we often hear these days.
 Suppose we could look into the future to see the answer to this question. Would we have the courage to face it?
 The Bible tells us about mems hearts failing them for fear of the things that shall come upon the earth.
 VOn every hand we see fulfil ment of the prophecies concerning wars and rumors of wars, earth quakes in divers places, famines and pestilences.
 The thought of the A bomb, the H bomb, flying saucers and inva- sions from other planets add fear to our trembling hearts.
 Jesus said, ''When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh"

SECOND PLANE
 G0E5D0WNI IN
 PERSIAN GULF

i BARREN ISLAND, Persian Gulf June 15-R-A big Air France plane crashed in the Persian Gulf last night and 40 of the 52 persons it carried are feared dead. The craft plunged into the gulf at almost the same spot where another Air France plane crashed two days ago with loss of 46 lives.
 Officials said 12 persons had been rescued by early afternoon. in- cluding four of the crew of eight. Twelve infants were reported to have been aboard the plane. Only one is known to have been saved.
 This plane and the sister C-54 Skymaster which crashed two days ago were enroute from Indochina to Paris. Officials have not dis carded the possibility of sabotage by adherents of the Indochinese Communists who are fighting the French.
 AIT France O11lclalS III ParlS Salu the plane carried A passengers and eight crew members. The officials said the search of the area was continuing with more than 100 small fishing boats securing the area.
 American and British Air Force planes based in the gulf area joined the search, sweeping low over the area, but a low ceiling hampered their efforts. High winds and choppy water made it unlikely that life rafts from the plane could stay afloat for long.
 The survivors all were reported to be French citizens.

DETAILED AMERA5IA
 REPORT ASKED; JURY .0k5 INVESTIGATORS

NEW YORK, June 15-tR-A spe. cial Federal Grand Jury today cleared government officials anc agencies of any shortcoming in the Amerasia stolen documents case.
 At the same time, however, the jury called upon the Department of Justice to issue detailed report on the case.
 The panel has been investigating subversive activities, for the past Is months. During it's sessions, 1t returned perjury indictment against William w. Remington. former Commerce Department econ omist, and espionage indictments against Judith Coplon and Valentin Gubitchev.
 The action was taken in a pre- sentment-grand jury notice of an offense or unlawful state of affairs.
 The presentment charged that precautions against the theft of gov srnment papers had been entirely inadequate" But it said that tht jury had found no evidence tha he Department of Justice was re. miss in its prosecution of the Am erasia case, or that any officia acted improperly by attempting tt delay arrests.
 The grand jury began probing she Amerasia case two weeks ago The case involved the l945 theft of 1 TOO government documents, some of which were recovered by the FBI in the New York office of the Amerasia, now defunct.
 Critics have charged the Justice with laxity in its hand ing of the six persons arrested after the papers were seized in the maga- zines office.
 Amerasia's editor, Philip Jaffe, pleaded guilty to possessing secret government documents and was fined S2,500. Emanuel s. Larsen, specialist in the China division of he State Department, was fined $500. The case against the four others was dropped.

EXTEND ALA5kA SH|p-CHARTER LAW,
 URGES T0LLEF50N

WASHINGTON, June IS - R = Rep. Tollefson (R-Wash) says that unless Congress extends the law permitting charter of war-built vessels to private operators Il cargo vessels serving Alaska must be re- turned to the government in l6 days.
 The special law under which the Maritime Commission chartered vessels to operators of Alaska ship ping lines expires June 30.
 Tollefson urged the House Mer- chant Marine Committee to approve legislation to extend the law.
 I'm supporting this extension of authority to charter vessels operat- ing in the Alaska trade because I realize there is shortage of this type of cargo ship used between the United States and the Territory, " Tollefson told the committee.
 T firmly believe that regular service between continental United States and Alaska is absolutely essential in the interest of our na- tional security.
 If these ships are withdrawn from service on June 30 it will im- pose a hardship upon the residents of the Territory and will stop the flow of supplies to canneries in Alaska"

 RUSS ATOMIC
 SUPPLY

NEW YORK. June 15+R-Re- ports that Russia may have six atom bombs on hand by next fall, and soon may be producing them at the rate of 25 year, were quoted by a military expert yesterday.
 The expert, Navy Commander William T. Greenhalgh. quoted an unidentified authority in giving his figures before $50 selected civilians and reserve officers at session of the Industrial College of the Armed Forces.
 He said other. authorities may have other ideas on the matter. He offered no conclusions of his own.
 The Soviets cannot keep their secrets forever, although they are past masters in the art of hiding and delaying facts about them selves," he said.
 Greenhalgh said Soviet aviators who fled Russia have told of A air fields in East Siberia-a likely take off point for an attack on the American northwest.
 Russia, he said, may have l9,000 war plane capable of use in combat, plus a reserve of 10000. The Soviet factories might be able to turn out 6O,OO0 aircraft a year if necessity arose, he said.
 He estimated the Russian fac tories are turning out about 200 jet fighters a month and about 20 bomberS.
 The Navy officers said Russia's guided missile and rocket program is about equal to Americas. He said the Red Army has 10000 tanks to our 1000.
 Greenhalgh said he did not be- lieve war is either imminent or in- evitable.
 He said Russia lacks facilities for a global war and hasn't know-how for mass production of big bombers.

MAYOR EXPLAINS
 VOTERS CHOICE IN
 SALES TAX ELECTION
Tells Chamber Revenue Must Be Increased #
 Sales Tax Beaten

Juneau voters will choose betweel a one percent special-purpose sale tax and increased property taxe when they go to the polls Tuesday Mayor Waino Hendrickson said to day.
 Speaking at the noon meeting o the Chamber of Commerce, he sait it will be necessary to raise prop erty taxes 50 percent to equal thu income which would have com' from one percent sales tayr shoult voters disapprove of the sales ta, at the special election Tuesday.
 He said the added revenue. iron one form of tax or another. mus be taken in to finance further i'm provements for the city.
 The bonded indebtedness incurred by the city over the past two years has financed street improvements and now Juneau has better streets than any other city in the Terri tory, he declared.
 But we're not through improv- ing the city" he said.
 He pointed out the need for a new municipal building and for further street improvements. ;s 4 Future city projects will be fl nanced with the help of Federal funds provided by the Public Works Bill for Alaska. Under the proyi- sionsf of the bill, the city must pay one-half the cost of the projects and must assure the Federal gov ernment that that 50 percent will be paid, Mayor Hendrickson said. :. Bonds issued to assure payment of the city's share of the cost of the projects will be held by the government, unless the city de- faults on payment, when the bonds will be marketed. he stated.
 The city's present income is not sufficient to take care of these ob- legations" Mayor Hendrickson said, Even those people who are opposed to the sales tax want to see con- tinued improvement"
 The present city income is about $254, ,OOO, of which forty percent goes to pay the city's share of the Juneau Independent School District expenses.
 Mayor Hendrickson pointed out that the sales tax ordinance states that the tax money received must be used for retirement of the city. general obligation bonds and tha the rate cannot be changed.
 The ordinance also states tha the sales tax will be discontinue' when the city's bonded indebted ness has been paid off.
 The bonded indebtedness of thu city at present amounts to sS56,00O including school. streets, and sewer bond issues, but not including tht city's share of the recently ap- proved S750.000 school district bono issue.
 When asked what income coulC be expected from such one per. cent sales tax, Mayor Hendricksor said the income in Juneau from the Veteran Sales Tax amounted t( $l40.000 per year.
 He said that at present abou $55,000 per year of the city's in. come goes toward paying on it. bonded indebtedness, $20.000 o1 that amount to pay the interest.
 You know that it is more econ. omical to pay off debts" he said "The sooner the bonds are retired the less interest must be paid"
 The sales tax ordinance must bt approved by 55 percent of the city's voters before it becomes law.
