After a three week study of the proposed Swan Lake power project under way by the Bureau of Recla- nation held in Denver, Ade E. Jasker, geologist with the bureaus Alaska investigation office. returned to Juneau to complete preliminary reports on the Ketchikan project to be submitted to Washington.
 Jaskar conferred with other geol- ogists and designers in the chief en- gineers' office in the Colorado city in regard to the project. The bureau is currently completing preliminary investigations for their Washington report.
 While in Denver, the geologist re- viewed latest developments in the bureaus laboratories, where spec ialistS are conducting research on planning, designing, building and operation of Reclamation's projects.

 In addition to the Swan Lake pro ject. the bureau is at present mak- ing headway on survey of a project on the SuSitna River, 125 miles north of Anchorage. Plans call for de- velopment of the Susitna, Nenana and Matanuska Rivers.

thy nsighbor.
 It is sweet and gentle to ask for generosity and forgiveness, but it is a debasement of morality to justi- fy the lie. Too long in our lives have we permitted our public of ficials to be liars, to get away with the lie, to abuse us by false witness and by reducing the oath to by play. The rejection of moral law redut.s our civilization to savagery.
 That is the issue. If these news papers, for political reasons, wish to justify the lie, let them say so outright without fancy verbiage.
