 He spoke enthusiastically of the support given the campaign by all local organizations, large and small. Dr. Ryan asked members to report individual pledges obtained, so that the total can be published soon. Both B. Frank Heintzleman, chair man, and B. D.

terior Departments Arts and Crafts Board in Washington, DC. is also attending the meeting
 The store will remain in Juneau but will be a part of the cooperative association, which has headquarters in Seattle.
 Don c. Foster, ANS area dircc- tor, said today the transfer was made necessary by the lack of op- erating funds for the Arts and Crafts Clearing House here. It is a self f-supporting store depending for operating capital on small service charge it makes for handling the native handiwork.
 "The clearing house never had sufficient capital" Foster said to- day. Tt has had to cut down on buying during the slack season. which is the time when people need the money they would receive for their work"
 He said that under AMIGA the clearing house here would have a better outlet for it's goods in the States, and at the same time would have the financial backing to pur- chase backlog of goods during the slow season.
 Actual transfer of the clearing house to AMIGA will probably take place sometime this year, he Said.

CLUBS GET SET FOR
 LIBRARY BENEFIT
 BASKETBALL GAME

Does any thing go?" asked Don Skuse. after kcing appointed to find suitable trophy for the win ner of the March 24 Library bene- fit basketball game.
 "Yes," shouted the Juneau Ro- tary Club in hearty affirmative.
 The event promises to be hysteri- cal. as the opposing teams will be members of the Juneau Rotary and Lions Clubs, respectively. At the moment, the joint committee plans five-minute periods, but members say they are considering the suggestion of two- minute ones. They would seem plenty long," said one hoopster of 20 years ago.
 To record the event for future bewilderment. official photogra- phers have been appointed. They are Lion Joe w. Alexander and Ro- tartan J. Malcolm Creamy.
 Two doctors will be in attend ance, each expected to treat play CTS of both teams impartially. They are Dr. Joseph O. Rude. Lion, and Dr. William P. Blanton, Rotarian. Undoubtedly, the wags will find a pretty nurse to ornament the first aid tent.
 At today's Rotary Club meeting, Charles w. Carter was told to come out of his short retirement, to serve as official undertaken.
 Rotarian Keith c. Wildes and Lion Ava Blackerby are co-chair- men of the library benefit affair. Also on the committee, represent ing the Rotary Club, are Stan Grummett, Henry Harmon and Monty Grisham.
 Impartial Citizen Jim Orme (not Lion nor Rotarian) has been asked to select an all-star team to meet Mikes Mite Owls of Douglas. for a Juneau-Douglas game that will pro- vide cage treat for the fans and a sort of Channel championship tour nament in miniature.

COUNCIL HEARS FINAL DRAFT OF
 NEW TRAFFIC CODE

The new Traffic Code for Ju- neau was read for the first time in its final form at the special meet ing of the City Council in the City Hall last night.
 Taking the place of 12 ordinances the oldest of which was passed dur ing the administration of Mayor Thomas Judson in 1929, the new traffic code ordinance will stream line city traffic regulation, Mayor Waino Hendrickson said.
 Traffic is a major problem ir Juneau" Mayor Hendrickson said 'The new ordinance is hoped to clarify traffic rules and help iron out the problem"
 The new code consists of II chap ters dealing with all phases of traffic control from licensing through equipment to penalties.
 The new traffic code ordinance will not become law until it has been read and passed twice more by the council. After it is passed, it will be printed in booklet form, the council plans.
 But the regulations in the new code will not be enforceable until effective signs have been erected, Mayor Hendrickson said.
 The ordinance calling for a spe- cial election to decide whether or not certain city property would be transferred to the Territory as a site for the construction of a new Territorial Building was read and passed for the second time.
 The ordinance calls for an cleo tion to obtain the decision of Ju- neau voters on the proposal to grant the Arctic Brotherhood prop erty to the Territory and sell the City Hall property and the vacant lot next to it to the Territory for $60.0O0.

HawaiD supporters of Hawaii statehood emphasized the tradi- tional evolution of Territories into states.
 Harrington said that the people of Hawaii feel that they were prom ised statehood when the Islands were annexed to the union as an in- corporated Territory in 1898
 He urged Congress to fulfill that promise and make reality of the hopes that have been nourished for two generations"
 Communism Issue
 The issue of Communism was raised by Rep. Cox D-Ga), who said Hawaii is Communist con- trolled" and dominated by Harry Bridges, the president of the CIO International Longsh emens s union.
 Rep Crawford (R-Mich) termed Cox's argument "99 percent whitfle- poof"
 Harrington said he would be the last to deny that Hawaii faces a Communist problem as well as other serious problems. But, he said, Ha- waii should be given the autonomy of statehood so it would have the means to settle it's problems.
 Opposition
 Rep. Delaney (R-NY) opposed Hawaiian statehood on the grounds that it would open the door to the admission of Puerto Rico, the Vir- gin Islands, Guam. and other areas
 He added that 1t was possible that even Canada and countries in Central and South America might ask for admittance.
