SPRING DEBUT LATE

The weather man missed by a few days, the old adage, Of March going out like a Lion. Douglas residents awoke this morning among a severe Taku, more wild than any during the winter months, with few windows blown in, new aluminium roof blown off Mikes Place, stop signs off their posts, and boats in the area suffering. several trollers tied up at the open city float made a desperate attempt to gain the safety of the Juneau Boat Harbor.
 Maybe it's Spring-hut we'll take it a little more quietly.

Second Tropical Storm
Blows Out in Caribbean
BY the Associated Press

MIAMI. Fla, Aug. 23.-The Sec
ond hurricane of the season has
blown itself out.
The tropical storm, spawned in
the same general area as hurri-
cane No. /. degenerated into
wide squall area in the Eastern
Caribbean Sea last night after
lashing tiny Antigua Island with
120-mile-an-hour winds.
Observers said the storm was
little more than a series Of gusty
squalls with winds of 80 to IS
miles an hour in the toughest
spots.
The most active portion of the
area lay southeast of st. Croix,
in the Virgin Island group. Both
the Virgin Islands and Puerto
Rico were buffeted by gusty winds
and heavy rain, but nothing like
the full-fiedged hurricane which
hit Antigua the night before.
A Pan American Airways station
at st. Johns, Antigua. radioed
that power failed when the winds
hit IS miles an hour-about mid
night. The message said unofi-
cial estimates placed the wind
velocity at between 95 and 120
miles an hour.

Street Light Rates
Fixed in Gas Era,
Pepeo Complains

The $5 rate fixed for re-
locating street light posts
was prescribed by Congress
in 1911 when most of the
Districts street lights were
gas lights. the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co. complained
yesterday.
Then. said Pepco Rate En-
gineer H. F. Main, the relo-
cation of a street light post
was a comparatively simple
and inexpensive matter.
Since conversion to cleo
tricity, however, engineering
and construction practice has
changed. and costs have in
creased tremendously.
He voiced a request that
steps be taken to have the
legislation changed. An anal
ysis of the net cost of this
work on % jobs in 1947, 1948
and 1949 indicates a cost per
post ranging from $40 to 1868,
he declared.

the President "and a lot of you
Senator'S
"I knew he couldn't get those
pictures by staying home at
nights" Mr.. Lubben testified.
Mr.. Lubben also testified he
paid $4,000 to another Washing
tonian, Frank Ketcham, an at
torney, of 1000 Massachusetts,
avenue NV, to intervene on his
behalf with the OPA.
Calls Attempt Unsuccessful.
Mr.. Ketcham, who was listening
to the testimony, arose to identify
himself and explain he had
worked over a 6-month period for
Mr.. Lubhen in an unsuccessful at
tempt to persuade OPA to allo-
cate more sugar. He said he
thought his fee was reasonable
and II did nothing of which I
am ashamed"
AS a matter of fact. Mr..
Ketcham added, he sent Mr.. Lub-
ben a bill for an additional fee
which was never paid.
Mr.. Lubben told the committee
that when he failed to get a
legitimate sugar quota he went
into the black market and
eventually wound up with Will
liam ]. Giglio and Franz Livorsi
as his partners. He sold them a
half interest in his firm for
about $4,000, because a small
Bronx firm they owned had a
quota for IA million pounds of
sugar a year, he said. In the first
month after the merger, he said,
his firm earned more than his
partners paid for the so per cent
interest.
Says Costello Real Boss.
Later, Mr.. Lubben testified, he
was told that Frank Costello, de-
scribed at prior committee hear
ings as a gambler and baron of
the slot machine racket, was the
real boss of his firm. Shortly
thereafter he broke off with his
partner and eventually went bank
rupt.
Mr.. Gig1io testified that he sold
a small Bronz liquor store to go
into the jelly bushes in 1914 and
the following year his firm was
earning $35. million a year. Black
market profits were kept in a box
in the office, he said, and on one
occasion $140, 900 was taken from
the box and distributed among
the partners aSsae bonus.
Livorsi, who said he had served
a prison sentence ON narcotics
charge and once has been falsely
accused of killing a man, testi-
fied he lost all his profits when
Giglio's firm went BANKRUPT and
since has been following the
horses"
When Senator Tobey, Republi-
can, of New Hampshire asked
him he had ever engaged in a
legitimate business, Livorsi re-
torted:
Betting on horses, shooting
crap and playing cards-is that
illegitimate?"
Mr.. Lubben testified that or

Charges of wartime bribery of

result of an extraordinary 10
hour session of the Senate Crime
Investigating Committee yeSter-
day. -s
Senator Kefauver, Democrat, OF

said the Senatorial crime investi-
gators will keep close check on
what the Treasury Department
does with testimony that agents
of the Alcohol Tax Unit were paid
of by admitted black market
operators.

into current. operations OF or
ganized criminals, the Senate in
vestigators yesterday pulled back
the curtain on under the table"
deals of black marketeerS who
freely told how they purchased i'm
munity from prosecution with
"easy money" during the. last war.
Truman Aide Mentioned.
The name of Victor r. Messall,
President Truman's former cam
paign manager and senatorial
secretary, was dragged into the
hearings as one admitted black
market operator-a former New
York candy manufacturer-told
how he tried to purchase influence
in Washington.
Mr.. Messall, President Truman's
secretary from 1885 to 1941 and
now a public relations expert, ap-
peared before the committee later
in the day to face the manu-
facturer and fatty deny that he
had ever seen him or accepted a
fee from him to persuade the
OPA to relax its sugar quota rules.
Even when Committee Counsel
Rudolph HALEY read a letter
signed by Mr.. Messall which told
how an Agriculture Department
official had intervened in behalf
of the manufacturers concern.
Mr.. Messall remained SteadfaSt
in denying any knowledge OF war
time sugar deals.
Can't Recall All Clients.
Mr.. Messall, who managed Mr..
Truman's 1910 senatorial cam
paign, explained that his public
relations firm has about $50 out
of-town clients a year and he can
not remember the names of all
those who pay fees to the firm.
It is possible, he told the COM
mittee, that the letter read to him
had been dictated by one of his
employees for his signature.
Mr.. Messall offered to bring in
his files. but Chairman Kefauvel
indicated the committee would
allow that phase of its probe tc
lapse.
David Lubben, the candy manu-
facturer, created a sensation Wher
he brought up the name of MIR
Messall, while explaining to tht
committee that he was forced tt
resort to black market operations
and the attempted purchase oi
Washington influence in an effort
to find sources Of sugar supply
so he could remain in business
during the war.
Offer of Files Is Passed Over.
Standing only a few feet from

Butler Comes Into His Own
As Poss-Cdtchinq End for CIV
By George Huber

Charley Butler has been a pretty
fair football player for George
Washington for the last year or
so. but he became quite star at
end last week when he hauled In
six passes from Andy Davis to
gain 86 yards against West Vir-
ginia. He did it with some right
smart catching and running.
Except for the usual manpower
shortage at CIV, Butler might not
be playing much football. He
came to the Colonials three years
ago as a tailback prospect. The
same year CIV also got Andy
Davis as a tailback.~ Davis turned
out to be ball of fire and has
been the No. tailback and full
back ever since. Butler wasn't
so hot as tailback, so in the ordi-
nary course of events he would
have ridden the bench to substi-
tute on those rare occasions when
Davis needed rest.
But CIV, what with its scant
manpower, can't afford to have
anybody just sitting around, so
after one year as a seldom used
tailback, Butler was tried here and
there until he fitted at end. He
played there most of the time last
vaor apd did hattar fbop oil whit
In addition to good play on both
offense and defense he grabbed
eight Davis aerials for 1853 yards.
So far he's failed to score a touch
down, but from the way he's going
