Embarrassing Accident

CALEDONIA, Mich, June 8 up.
-Eighteen-year-old Frank Bales

injury yesterday when he walked
accidentally into the side OF a
moving auto. The door handle of
the car caught in his belt-neatly
detaching his trousers.

to constitutional convention the best possible
men who will give the state of Alaska the best pos
sble constitution.
1t is fine dea-the idea of cooperation But
unless Alaskans fight as hard over the election of
delegates to constitutional convention they did
during the recent election Alaskas constitutional
convention will be job.
OF course we are among the die-hards who don't
believe that statehood for Alaska essential to the
defense program, that it has anything do with the
defense situation.
However, should statehood for Alaska be thrust
upon us, the Delegates suggestion that Alaskans CO.
operate to the end that they build for their state
good constitutional constitution that will be the envy
of other staeshas merit but don't believe coopera
ton has chance in the Territory under the present
regime
We would like cooperation in Alaska to the
end that elect the best delegates to convention
to write constitution that will be the envy of all the
states" That was Delegate Bartlett's suggestion.
But cooperation?
1t has been tried without There is we
fear only one kind of cooperation that works in
Alaska-cooperate with the ADMINISTRATIONS else.

FINANCE CAMPAIGN
FOR JUNEAU DOUGLAS
BOY SCOUTS STARTS

Appointment of eight team cap
tains for the Annual Boy Scout fin
ance campaign next week was an
nounced today by Allen Shattuck,
campaign chairman. Team captains
are recruiting their teams of eight
workers each, who will attend the
early morning kickoff breakfast
next Thursday to receive materials
and instructions for the once-a-
year canvass.
The team captains work with the
executive committee and heads of
government department teams in
contracting all business and en-
ployees for their annual contribu-
ton to the work of the Boy Scout
organization in Juneau and Doug
las.
Executive committee members
were announced previously, Shat
tuck said, and heads of govern
ment divisions will be chosen early
next week. Team captains who are
heading up the general solicitation
groups include: Keith Wildes, Lar
nv Dubois, Fred Dunn, Jack Bur-
ford, Fred Henning, Howard Sim
mons, Comdr, Ed Chester, and G, +
Wingerson.
I'VE are fortunate in having
these outstanding men volunteer for
this important civic duty" Shat
tuck said, land I hope that other
business and professional men who
wish to help out with Boy Scout
campaign will enlist with one of the
captains and help spread the word
of the good work that the Cubs,
Boy Scouts, and Explorers are do
ing in Alaska" he said.
Scouting trains boys to be good
citizens. 1 think everyone living
in Alaska should support the Boy
Scout organization with their time
and money, in order that it can
reach out and provide the scout
ing program for more and more
Alaskan boys" the chairman said.

COOPERATION WOULD BE A FINE IDEA
IF 1T WOULD WORK

Delegate Bartlett made excellent suggestion
to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce Thursday We
believe made in good faith and that the Dele
gate had best interests of the Territory at heart
while he speaking.
This he said: Statehood for Alaska is assured
If it comes up in late November December after
Congress reconvenes for the final days of the present
session. the statehood bill will pass for the votes are
there.
If statehood is not achieved in 1850, the bill will
pass in 1851. he added.
With this in mind, the Delegate said that the only
thing for Alas1ans to do is to cooperate in sending

Lesson on Politics

This really burned up the Col
onel. He sat down and wrote
letter to his publicity man about
politics.
Bill Reichel said Earl (Warren)
felt he could do nothing because
someone might think it was pol
itics,' Shattuck wrote. What the
hell do they think a Governor is
saint or a political leader?
But my friend, be of good cheer;
cur day is coming. When the war is
over we will carry the torch from
north to south, east to west, and
|if I don't miss my guess we won't
have to ask anyone for anything.
That sounds cocky and conceited,
but it isn't. I have had a post
graduate course in politics and a
thorough education in public opin-
ion and how to sway it.
1T is imperative that we keep
the close goodwill of Earl WAR
rem and all his followers" Col
onel Shattuck continued Now as
to my plans. when the war is
over l am coming home and spend
a little time just looking around
and then I'm going to run for
Governor. If in meantime,a chance
came for U. S. Senator I'd take it of
course.
L feel I can go a long way on
the veteran -tWo-wars idea"
Judging by the billboards and
campaign literature now coyerin9

Starting this month"; the British government will

Disappointing Results

Meanwhile, Colonel Shattuck was
given the job of calling out the
numbers with President Roosevelt
in the draft lottery, and the nation
wide publicity he got made him
hungry for more. So ne sent word
to his publicity agent to get set for
another draft drawing on July II
l94l. Next day his publicity agent
reported disappointing results.
Il got your wire stating that you
would take the mike for the first
fifteen minutes (of the draft lot

use the story, but unfortunately
the draft lottery was so handled
at your end as to completely OBJ
hterate yourself.

Other than that there is no re-

At another draft lottery Mrs.
Shattuck wrote a disappointed let
ter March 10, 1912, to the Colonies
publicity man in California
There seems to be nothing at
all TO work on in this next draft
thing" Mrs. Shattuck wrote from
Washington They are cutting
down practically all the thrills and

Meanwhile, he kept up a bonn
bardment of letters to his friends
urging them to pressure Governor
elect Warren to secure his ap-
pointment. Finally, one of these
friends, william F. Reichel, wrote
Shattuck on Feb. 3, 1913. Il had
an opportunity to discuss the mat

present time unless he has some
particular reason. 1t is, as you

Coming firm behind in the last
innings to beat their early season
conquerors, Rockville Boy Baseball
Stars beat Silver Spring Elks
Club 5 to a at Welsh Field on
Saturday. After trailing to 0 in
the bottom half of the sixth, Rock
vile picked up the first run in that
inning, added another in the sew
enth and then applied the crusher
in the eighth with three tallies to
chalk up the fourth win in five
starts.
Young Gordon Coleman went the
full route on the moud for Rock
vile and also led the locals at bat
with a triple, double and single.
In the sixth inning with two down,
Whiteworth beat out an infield hit
and scored on Coleman's three
Dagger to left center. In the sew
enth Karnes singled to center
scoring Dunn.
In the eighth inning White
worth, first man uup, dropped a
single behind second; Coleman hit
sharpley to center and made it all
the way to second by fast sprint
ing, sending Whiteworth to third.
Yocom walked, filling the bases.
Dunn drove in Whiteworth with a
long fly to right, Coleman moving
to third from where he scored the
tieing run on Shipe's safe smash
to left center. That blow finished
the visitors starting hurler, Seng-

Lane Announces A
Possible Reduction
Of State Sales Tax

Governor Lane on Monday saw
the possibility of starting sales
tax collections at a higher pur-
chase figure-somewhere between
"a cents and 80 cents-and of ex-
empting "low-cost meals" entirely
from the levy.
While no definition was given of
"low-cost meals" it was believed
that any proposal in that regard
would follow the Washington plan
which now exempts meals in rest
aurants and other places up to
SIPS.
Food purchased for home con-
sumption already is exempt from
the two per. cent Maryland sales
tax.

at may seem strange that the
Charter Committee should support
two persons for the same Council
office, one for the Democratic pri-
mary, and the other for the Re
publican primary. But since the
Lindsay Act prohibits the voters in
Montgomery County from nomi-
mating and electing its Council
under an unrestricted primary-no-

Charter Committee is made up of
Democrats and Republicans who
see eye-to-eye at the local level,

tive to this bipartisan procedure
until the law is changed" the
