Government should give the cities
and States some guide on what
will be requested from Congress,
but San Francisco did not intend
to wait.
Here are some of the questions
that were bothering the visitors:
Several California community
spokesmen wanted to know if
policemen and firemen could be
deferred from military service. Mr..
Symington said that had been
under study and he will meet with
the top Federal officials on man
power to get an overall solution
to the problem.
Anti Reds Plans Asked.
A Connecticut mayor asked
what steps were recommended to
prevent Communists from getting
into the Civil Defense setup. Mr..
Symington said that since civil
defense will involve millions, it
will be hard to keep them out
but that the National security
aspects of this will be worked out.
Hartford's city manager asked
II the Federal government is de-
veloping some standards for warn
ing devices, uniform insignia and
communications. Mr.. Symington
said a great deal more informa-
tion will be forthcoming in the
next few months. It was then he
acknowledged that the city Of
f1cials were impatient to get the
facts but there was some time left
to plan in an orderly fashion.
Urges Organizing Groups.
Mayor De Lesseps Morrison of
New Orleans wanted to know if
it is advisable to start mobilizing
large groups of volunteers at this
time. while waiting to find out
what Congress is going to do. Mr.
Symington suggested that the
local officials spend this period
organizing committees and get
ting their plans set up.
The civil defense director of
Battle Greek, Mich, asked for in
structions for coping with sabotage
in protecting vital plants. Mr..
Symington said the FBI will ham
die that angle.
Othe city officials were con-
cerned about coping with public
apathy, getting AFRAID sirens,
getting reimbursed for the Fed
eral Government for what they
spend now and dividing costs OF
mutual aid between communities
They were promised some of the
answers at closed sessions this
afternoon and tomorrow. The
special meeting was called by the
United States Conference OF
Mayors, whose chairman, Mayor
David L. Lawrence of Pittsburgh
commented that civil defense is
now ION the front doorstep OF
every city hall in America"
NSRB and civil defense officials
have been spending all week in
terpreting civil defense plans fol-
the people who will have to help
carry them out. Earlier in the
week, State civil defense directors
were here. Yesterday, more thar
go women leaders got an all-day
briefing.
The women were told to advise
their memberships to work fol-
good city and State legislation fol
civil defense, to offer their services
to Mayors and Governors. and tc
make surveys of the abilities OF
potential volunteers and of theil
home town resources.

Ruling on Really Fee,
Seen as Encouraging
Buyers 10 Bargain
By Robert ]. Lewis

A spokesman for the Justice
Department said today a judg-
ment obtained yesterday in Dis
trict Court involving real estate
brokerage fees should encourage
clients to bargain" with brokers
in the future over fees to be paid
in District real estate transac-
tions.
The judgment was obtained by
the Justice Department to pre-
vent the Washington Real Estate
Board from fixing brokerage COM
missions for property sales in the
District.
Attorney General McGrath an
nounced the DEPARTMENT. action,
which carried out finding by the
Supreme Court last May. The
high court held that a real estate
agents business in the District
was trade" and that the Real
Estate Board violated antitrust
laws by setting brokers' fees.
Fee Schedule Suspended.
Commenting on the action,
Charles j. Rush. executive secre-
tary of the board, said the board
suspended its schedule of commits
sions September 80, 1947, before
the case went to trial. He added
that the board would now con-
tinue to operate without sched-
ule of commissions.
A Justice Department spokes-
man said the judgment entered
in District Court will require IAN
immediate change in board policy
in addition to the changes made
in 1947, namely, the board may
no longer even make a suggestion
or recommendation to it's mem
berS regarding commissions or
any amount to be charged by a
broker"
The spokesman pointed out
that before the judgment was en-
tered broker continued to have
the right to display the old sched-
ule of fees, and that this is now
forbidden.
Should Encourage Alert
Entering of the judgment, he
added, should encourage "the
alert client to bargain over the
fee that he should pay in a real
estate transaction.
Three years ago. the Justice
Department filed criminal and
civil suits against the Washington
board and the National Associa-
ton of Real Esate Boards, as well
as against some officers and di-
rectors.
The criminal actions were
thrown out in District Court.
The Justice Department charged
that the organizations violated
the Sherman Antitrust Law by
conspiring to fix brokerage fees
in the District. In the civil suit
it asked the court for declara-
tory judgment to that effect, and
also an order to prevent the two
groups from continuing the al
legged fee fixing and other prac-
tices that the Government con-
tended were illegal.
District Judge Alexander Holt
zoff refused to issue such an in
junction. The Government ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court
which last May ruled that Judge
Holtzoff erred in dismissing the
case against the Washington
board and upheld him in clearing
the national association.
Entry of the judgment yester-
day officially completes the cases
against the Washington board in
District court, and cancels the
commission schedule and certain
provisions of the boards code OF
ethics, the department said.

Trucking Is On Upgrade
 In Territory

Commercial trucking is becom- ing an increasingly important business in, Alaska, it was an- nounced this week by the Alaska Development Board. During peak months of traffic last June, July and August, the ADB traffic re- port shows that 10 trucks a day moved into Alaska.
 Even during the winter months, traffic figures show that 100 trucks enter the territory each month.
 A comparison of the l949 traffic report with '48 figures shows that there were at least 2,00o more ve- hicles in Alaska last year than in the year before. Development Board officials feel that reflects Alaska's increasing popularity as a place to live.

Continued from page 9

Referees for the tournament were Ray Mccartney, Art Stacey and Robert Critics.
 In Friday nights opening game of the second round, the AACS squad disposed of Wasil1a with little effort, and they recorded the biggest score of the tournament. When the final whistle blew, AACS had 72 and Wasilla trailed with 39.
 In the evenings second game. the S7th Medics were trodding on Shamrock heels all evening. The Medics figured a defense that stopped Doc Johnson with just five field goals. but while they lavished personal attention on him. they mistakenly neg lected Gordon Berg - Gordon therefore reproved them for their oversight by skipping in 22 points, nine of them in the fourth quarter when the Sham rocks had most use for them. The game ended s2-ss in Sham rock favor.
 Although Wasilla and the Med ics both were defeated in this round, they played again on Sat urday night to determine the third-place position of the tourna- ment.
 The Medics definitely proved their superiority on Saturday, when they took the curtaip-raiser from Wasills by q 55-30 count.
 The. Valley was . two-aixne 1osar that night. for later tha Azmy's AAcS squad rubbed Shamrock noses in the dirt. : with a winning score of el-39. The Shamrocks sorelY missed Doc Johnson's this-one's-in-fo1- sure shots in this game. for there was a dearth of field goals
 noted in the Shamrock score book that night.
 After all the fun and shouting ended on Saturday night, Kiwanis club members locked themselves into a burglar-p proof office and be- gan to count their shekels. They found, after careful check and re- check, that the tournament had grossed over $500, and that the
 n would buy an electric clock and scoreboard, to be installed in ne Gymnasium before another basketball season descends on the Valley.

played championship basketball. Dr. James Ryan, Alaska's present Commissioner of Education, was then an aspiring young college teacher and a whiz-bang basket ball coach.
 Coach Ryan was so good that, one year, 1883, our University basketball team won 40 games and lost only two. We covered all of Alaska, from Fairbanks to Ketchikan," O'Neill remarked. Tn those days the airplane wasn't the essential vehicle of transporta- ton as it is today, so we went by The Alaska Railroad and Alaska Steamship. We were gone from the campus almost two months, but we all passed, nevertheless" "
 The University of Alaska did more for William A. O'Neill than give him a degree. It gave him a Wife-Violet Lundell of Douglas, who was attending college at the same time. They were married in Anchorage in 1883 and have three children: Sally, II, was born in Fairbanks: Billy, 8, was born in Seattle; and Maureen, 3, was born in Dawson, Y. T.

Back in the days when the "Galloping Goose" was the only reliable means of transportation between Fairbanks and College, William A. O'Neill was a student at the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines (now the University of Alaska).
 For purposes of identification, the "Galloping Goose" was an an- ccient Model A Ford motor mount ed on railroad wheels, with a big homemade coach sitting on top. Students thirsting for knowledge hung on for dear life while the mechanical contraption galloped and sputtered it's way between The Alaska Railroad terminus on the north side of the Cinema and the 6x6 station building called College
 Regent O'Neill came to Alaska m 1908 at the age of one-a lusty young resident of the city of Cor ,tlova. In this booming copper town, his father was in the gen .eral mercantile business. Every one in Cordova remembers Harry I. O'Neill, and the family that grew to encompass 12 children of whom William is the oldest.
 As Cordova high school young Ster, Bill O'Neill worked in the Chititu Placer Mines not far from Kennecott. In fact, at Is, he was foreman for the operation. Tn the fall of 1928," he stated, with my seasons wages pulling my pants out of shape, went to Fair ss7anks to take the Mining Short course given by Dean Ernest Patty at the then Alaska Agri- -tultural College and School of Mines. Dean Patty took an in terest in me and persuaded me to enroll at the University for regu- lar instruction"
 O'Neill attended the University from 1929 to 1884, graduating with a Bachelor of Science De- gree. He majored in Geology and Mining. In those days the school wasn't as elaborate as it is today. The girls dorm was over the cafeteria, and Harriet Hess Hall wasn't even dreamed of. Neither was Eielson Memorial Hall. The gymnasium was located in the west wing of the top floor of the main building, and it was there that O'Neill and his classmates

Neill worked for the McRae & Patty interests at Coal Creek and Woodchopper, and prospected for them in Goodnews Bay. When World War II came along, Navy Lieutenant O'Neill put in two years in the Pacific. After hostili ties ceased, O'Neill returned to the McRae & Patty organization as assistant manager in charge of Canadian operations. Later he opened his own office in Anchor age as a consulting mining engi- neer.
 On January 26, 1948, O'Neill was appointed to the University of Alaska's Board of Regents, and has been an active constructive influence on the board. AS a member of the alumni association ne has kept up with the Univer- sity's problems and it's growing pains," and he feels a personal pride in the progress his school mas made in it's brief lifetime.
