Gateway Unit Hits System
In Placing Traffic Signals

The National Gateway Citizens
Association last night went on
record disapproving the present
system of the Department Of We
hicles and Traffic to determine the
need of traffic signals.
The association protests the
"outmoded methods of determin-
ing placement of traffic signals
with disregard to the wishes and
needs of the people of the affected
area"
The action was taken after the
reading Of a letter from the Dis
trict Commissioners, received in
answer to a request from the as
ISOLATION for stop signs at Twenty
six and Franklin streets NE.
The letter said decisions on traffic
matters should be made on the
basis of a comprehensive en-
gineering survey rather than
the opinions of individuals.
The association met in the Ava
Ion Heights Church of Christ,
Twenty eighth and Douglas streets
NE. Gilbert c. Vincent, president,
conducted the meeting.

ton, summed up the groups
attitude on affairs as follows:
We've been more or less on
the conservative side.
We've had disagreements with
everyone from the Commissioners
on down-friendly disagreements,
of course.
We're not an association that
has an anti-utility attitude; but
we don't want to pay any more
for gas. electricity or taxes than
is necessary.
Citizens associations should be
perpetuated, because one never
knows when a definite menace to
proper living in a community will
come up"

JESSUp WILL FIGHT(HARGE
 HE EIS(0MMIE

WASHINGTON. March 18-LR-- US. Ambassador Philip c. Jessup was reported today to be drafting a fighting reply to Senator Me- Carthy's charge that Communists have infiltrated the State Depart ment.
 The Wisconsin Republican yester- day coupled that general accusa- tion with a new specific one: he contended the department has issued a mandate for "compIete and thorough whitewash" of Diplo- mat John s. Service, whom Mo- Carthy has called pro-Communist.
 Envoy-at-large Jessup has been accused by Mccarthy of having 'an unusual affinity for Communist causes" and of having sponsored a subversive organization.
 Jessup already has said that Mc- Carthy's charges about him are without substance. He returned from the Far East to answer the charges and is scheduled to go to the capitol Monday.

STEPS TO OBTAIN NEEDED SCHOOL SITE
 EXPLAINED IN SITkA

The machinery for Sitka to oD- tain school site from the forest service was explained to city of- ficials late this week by pr. James c. Ryan, commissioner of educa- ton, and Charles Burdick, act 1 ing regional forester.
 Burdick and Dr. Ryan spent sev- eral days in the old capital point , Ing out to Sitka city fathers exactly what steps must be taken to obtain the desired site, now occupied by forest service buildings housing Baranof Island service executives and administrators.
 Sitka's school situation has be- come extremely critical recently with large influxes of students from nearby Japonski Island, site of the Mt. Edgecumbe Vocational School. The students are sons and daugh- ters of government employees of the Alaska Native Service instl- tuition.
 Not only has school housing suf- fered because of this, but the eity's finances have been taxed strenu- ously. A sales tax was levied to help care for the extra students, but not cent has been forthcoming from the federal government to aid the city.
 City officials have been attempt ing to obtain funds proportionate to the added load, but so far have met with no success.
 The machinery on transferral of the wanted school site was explain ed so each step may be taken ex- actly as needed, pr. Ryan said. The forest service must first be assured Of another convenient site for lo- eating it's building following its moving out to make way for the school.
 Then they will transfer the pro- rerty to the General Services Ad- ministration, another federal agen- cy. Following this, the GSA may in turn transfer it to Sitka. Otherwise, if not for this intermediate step, an act of Congress is necessary for transferring government owned land to private owner or a city

Captain Says Invasion Here
 "lmpossibIe''
Intelligence Dire1for Says Enemy Couldn't Invade by Land, Junior Chamber Meet

PETERSBURG, Alaska, March Is -tR-The director of intelligence for the Alaska command declared in a speech here that "a successful ground invasion of Alaska is im- possible"
 The speaker was Capt. Minor C. Heine. He spokt for It. Gen. Na- than F. TWining, commander ot Alaska Military Forces, at the Alaska Junior Chamber of Con- merce convention.
 Captain Heine said the defense of Alaska will be satisfactory once adequate housing is provided for military personnel.
 He said the military felt it has mapped satisfactory plan for de- fense of the Territory. He expressed the belief that, when housing is available for the military, the stra- logically important Territory's de- lenses will be sufficient to turn any possible attacking force.
 Allies For Enemy
 Citing the unpredictable weather and the thousands of miles of rug ged coast line, he described them as allies as much as hindrances to an enemy.
 Noting Alaska's dominant posi- tion on the Great Circle air routes between East and West, he added that the military is we'll aware that the Territory could we'll be a bomber base for possible invader as well as for defending American forces.
 As long as the United States re- mains a Democratic nation, the in- telligence officer declared, defense strategy will have to consist of skeleton forces in strategic posi- tions, with vast bulk of lightning mobile forces based in the states and ready to move quickly in case Ol oily lllFdolOll AliOfC NY l'OotliC power. He said the nations economy and the temper of the people would not stand the cost or manpower for bristling defenses at all strategic positions.
 Captain Heine said the Alaska command is watching with interest the dredging of Wrangell Narrows in Southeast Alaska. If war emergency arises, he said, shipping headed for northern bases would be forced to seek the shelter of the inland waterway.
 Resolutions and the election of officers were the main items of business before the convention at it's closing session today A dinner and dance will wind up the annual meeting tonight.

CAA ATTEMpTINU : CONFIRMATION OF
 SIENNA AIRPORT

WASHINGTON, March 18-R- The Civil Aeronuatics Administra- tion says it is trying to work out plans for continued operation of airport facilities on Shemya Is- land, at the tip of the Aleutians near Attu.
 The island has been an Air Force base for the. last several years and has been used regularly as re- fueling stop by commercial air. liners making the Anchorage-To run across the Pacific.
 Deputy CAA Administrator Fred B. Lee said the Air Force will close down this base at the end of the current government fiscal year June 30, and that it has now become CAA's problem to de- termine whether commercial re- fueling can be continued there.
 There was no provision for maintenance expense at Shemya in cur current budget" Lee said. We are studying the possibility of a civilian airport facility on the is- land, but unless the necessary funds can be found, it looks like the Shemya facility will go by the board. However, no final decision has been made"

 FIN BRIDGES TRIAL:
 ARGUMENTS SIzzLE

SAN FRANCISCO, March 18-tR The weekend recess brought a temporary halt today to bitter ex- changes between lawyers giving their arguments to the jury in the governments perjury trial of Harry Bridges.
 The CIO longshore president is charged with lying at his 1945 nat uralization hearing when he denied he had ever been a Communist.
 Chief Defense Counsel Vincent Hallinan yesterday blamed govern ment prosecutors for melting "the hatred and rage of the court" and causing Hallinan to receive a six month contempt of court sentence. The contempt incident occurred four months ago, near the outset of the trial.
 Hallinan asserted Prosecutor F. Joseph Donohue sought to prove Bridges a Communist by reference to the fact that Bridges former attorney, Richard Gladstein, had defended convicted Communist in New York.
 The special prosecutor asserted shipping industry leaders who testi- fled for Bridges, under the lash of Lou Goldblatt,. secretary-treasurer of Bridges union, came here and sold their conscience and their soul for the dollars of profit"
 He pictured Bridges as "vain egotistical, clever and dangerous man with lust for power; called him "a fraud and faker who prates of Democracy in the union he has ruled with an iron hand" ," He said Bridges turned to the Communist party for power as nat urally as a flower to the sun"

iCopyrisht. lo50 by Bell Syndicate. Incl By DREW PEARSON

" WASHINGTON A forgotten hero of the R. yolutionary War, an >unspectacular money lender, will soon be immortalized not far from Washington, Lincoln and Jeffer- son. He was Haym Solomon, the little Jewish patriot who raised the money to fight the revolution but died penniless without ever receiv- ing dime back from the Gov ernment whose freedom he fin anced.
 Now, after all these years, a mem- orlal Is about to be erected in Solomon's honor. This was author ized by Congress 12 years ago upon a motion by Guy Gillette, then Congressman but not Sen ator from Iowa.
 It was left up to private citizens, however, to raise the subscriptions, so the propect lay dormant until this year. Now Haym Solomon Memorial Society has been formed to raise the money, and the chief thing remaining is to have the commission of Fine Arts approve a deSgn.
 Note-At one time George Wash ington pulled Solomon out of a synagogue to scrape up the cash to meet the Army payroll. Solo, mon also paid Jefferson's and Madisons board bills so they could attend the first Continental Con- gress. -.-........-..

JUNEAU PAINTERS PLEDGE $20O TO
 LIBRARY DRIVE

A S200 pledge toward construction of the Juneau Memorial Libary has been received from the 16 men of the Juneau local of the Painters, Paperhangers and Decorators of America, it was announced this morning.
 The pledge arrived in the office of Dr. James c. Ryan, commissioner of education and acting director of the drive for funds, while he was absent in Sitka on school busi- ness. The unions action was taken at recent meeting in the AFT Hall. The Juneau local is No. 1904. President is Jerry Powers.
 Coupled with this large sum was receipt of $25 more from en- ployees of the Veterans Adminis- tration office in the Goldstein Building, turned in by Neil Frit- chman, VA executive. The employee group previously gave S235 to Dr. Ryan about week ago, making the total contributed S260.
 B. D. Stewart, second d-in-command of the drive to raise $70,000 for the building, to be matched by federal funds, arrived back in Ju- neau to take charge of the drive and deposit money received by Dr. Ryan in the bank.
 It took him all day yesterday to total sums put in the hands of the education commissioner during his absence in the Interior. The am- ount of cash on hand, pledges re- ceived, and money already in the bank is being totaled now, and he expects to make report on how the drive stands early next week.
 The sum remaining to be collect ed is now nearing the S5,000 mark pr. Ryan estimated. After several weeks of almost feverish activity, the drive slowed down the past few days during his absence.
 A number of Rotary Club mem bers are expected to report at their coming Tuesday meeting on canvas sing activities. The Rotary Club has sponsored the drive, with B. Frank Heintzleman, regional for ester, leading the campaign. Heintz- leman has been absent in Wash ington on government business ap- proximately a month.
