Exclusively Yours

By Betty BeoIe

might have considered it modern,
but not yours truly who saw it in
the summer of '48.
Mrs. Eustis went back to Nor
mandy again last summer and
took her nephew Chip Bohlen
who was amazed to see that the
town of Wire, which the Ameri-
cans destroyed, is still half rub
BILE. The members of St. Mat
thew's Committee for Wire, of
which Mrs. E. is chairman, have
decided though that they will not
send any more relief to France
in the nature of food and cloth
ing for the poor. that our own
should come first. But they will
do what they can to improve the
hospitals and schools. The latter
are just now getting running wa
ter. The silver tea at Mrs. Eustis'
house on the 9th will be for that
purpose.
Mrs. Eustis' French roots 60
very deep. Her father. the late
Levi P. Morton, vice president in
Harrison's administration, was
onetime American Minister to
France. Her husbands uncle,
James Biddle Eustis, was the
United States first Ambassador to
France, and her son, Morton C..
Eustis, was killed near Wire In
August, 1914.
The Earl and Countess Jellicoe
picked New Years Day, after a
bangup party the night before,
to move to Georgetown to
Waterside Drive. who moved
you?" someone asked, mentally
adding up time and a half for
labor. or maybe twice that cause
it was a holiday as we'll as Sum-
day. 1--WE moved ourselves" re-
piled George. the friendly young
earl. who is Second Secretary at
the British Embassy. I'VE turned
over a new leaf"
The same day they moved in
George spied his next door neigh
Dor, whipped over and greeted
him. I'm Jellicoe," he said, hold
ing out his hand. If all British
ers were as ready. willing and able
to make friends, Americans would
glady adopt the broad A.
The Jellicoes have leased the
John Beggs' house. The latter
are currently at The Hague where

SEATTLE, JUNEAU
 CHAMBERS DISCUSS
 PLANS FOR ALASKA

Two possible lines along which Alaska and Seattle Chambers of Commerce might cooperate for the good of the Territory were dis cussed at small informal meeting last night by representatives of the Juneau and Seattle chambers.
 One would concern Congressional legislation to provide inducements for venture capital. Tax incentives were discussed, as well as other liberalized qualification for invest ment in Alaska industries.
 Thomas M. Pelly, President of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce said his organization will help in any program evolved by Alaska Chambers, but emphasized that the plan would have to originate in

SIX NATIONS IN WESTERN EUROPE
 PEACE POOLING
(By Associated Press)

Six Western European nations agreed today to pool their coal and steel industries in a French authored plan to advance the cause of peace and take Europe along the road to union and prosperity.
 France, Western Germany, Bel gium. The Netherlands, Luxem- bourg, and Italy issued a joint com- munique in Paris giving full support to the pool plan first announced by French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman last month. Talks to work out details are set for June IS.
 Britain, always wary of contin- ental commitments because of her Empire and Commonwealth, re- jected a bid to join the talks lon the terms proposed by the French government" A Foreign Office com munique paid tribute to "the bold character and far r-reaching im- portance" of the plan but said the British government does not feel able to accept in advance, nor do they wish to reject in advance, the principle underlying the French proposal"

Alaska and have the widespread
 and whole-hearted support of
 Alaskan Chambers of Commerce.
 Tt might well be-" said Pelly,
 that the answer can be found in
 special federal tax incentives-pro-
 vided the profits are reinvested in
 Alaska"
 Possible advantages of legislation
 providing deferred taxes and liber-
 alized credits were discussed.
 Provision for short-term period
 in which to write off the investment
 would be an aid to induce venture
 capital, suggested R. J. Sommers
 He also said that. if the people who
 furnish risk capital could get tht profits back to the shareholders, I would not be counted for incom' tax, but as return of capital in vested.
 Discussion of encouraging industry in Alaska was particularly in thu light of pulp mills being the most likely impending development. The other concern was with the suggestion of Seattleites that Alaska Chambers devise attractive tours for the 1852 season when Greater Seattle, Inc, sponsors a big "lOt Years of Seattle" celebration. Botf chambers would cooperate in urging the large number of tourists tt continue their trips to Alaska. Executive Board members of the Juneau organization proposed tha' two special committees be estab- lished to pursue both lines of ac- tivity. >
 Attending the joint dinner last night in the Baranof Hotel 1ris Room were these officers of the Ju. neau c. of O.: President Robert E Boochever, Fred o. Eastaugh, Her. bert Rowland and Chris Wyller. Other interested members at tending were R. J. Sommer, J. F Mullen and R. E. Robertson. Seattleites there were Presiden Pelly. Secretary Arthur L. Ganson H. L.

 .5pEW5 SCENE. .OFDE50LATIoN.
Two Fiery Streams Reach Sea-Fami|ies Fleeing
 from Their Homes

KEALAKEKUA, Hawaii. June g. R-(By Radiophone)- Heavy black stone from erupting Mauna Loa covers hundreds of acres of Hawaii's Kona coast today. Between 60 and 80 families have fled their homes. Lava has eaten into parts of vil- lages.
 It is a scene of both desolation and beauty created by one of the worlds most active volcanos. Here and there is fallen tree, knocked over by the lava that still spills over the sides of the crater.
 Mauna Loa broke loose Thursday night after a sleep of Is months. yolcanologist R. H. Finch of the Hawaii Volcano Observatory said it was the most violent eruption on record for the tons of lava spewed within the first few hours. He pre- dicted it might last two weeks.
 He reported:
 "The area outside the crater swept by lava in the first 12 hours was the greatest on record. Its most spectacular feature was the speed with which it covered the south western slopes of Mauna Loa."
 Observers who have watched the eruption from the beginning say it was even more spectacular last night than Thursday night.
 The lava was flowing at break neck" speed in spots-as high as 4O miles an hour. Its hard to esti- mate the speed of the flow but it's ranging between 20 and 40 miles an hour" Finch said.
 Two fiery streams have reached the sea. A third neared the coastal highway 10 miles to the south. A fourth stream poured down toward Kau in the South Point area.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska. June 3--IA More than 260 AFL electricians voted 2-l last night. union off, cial said, to end their l9-day-old strike that has cut off two-thirds of Fairbanks regular source of power.
 The vote was on a counter pro- posal offered the AFL International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 1850. by the Fairbanks Ex- ploration Department of the US. Smelling. Refining and Mining Co. Kenneth Favell, IBEW interna- tional representative, reported the strikers dropped their demands for union shop and wage increases and accepted the company offer which included benefits on seniority rights, vacations and grievance pro- cedure.
 Full details of the agreement were not immediately available. Favell said a few minor changes remain to be worked out.
 Return to work is scheduled for early next week. The strike had halted mining and dredging opera tions of the company and idled the power plant which provides ap- proximately 65 percent of the city's electricity.
 During the power brownout. sup- plies to householders and business firms were rationed to provide for emergency service to hospitals and other institutions. Some auxiliary power was obtained from generators brought in before the strike.

Eighth Anniversary Today,
 Bombing of Dutch Harbor
By CLARK BEACH

WASHINGTON, June 3 - R - Some of the boys who fought in the Aleutians are probably remember ing today the islands fogs and and bone-chilling winds. This is the eighth anniversary of the day the Japanese bombed Dutch Harbor, opening the futile little campaign in. which they made their only cap- ture of North American soil.
 Between June and 10, 1942, they took Kiska, Attu and Agattu, at the western extremity of the island chain. By the following June the Americans were back again. at the cost of 5000 men dead. wounded or ill from exposure to the vile weather.
 When the Japs invaded there were no American defenses west ot Dutch Harbor.
 Now once again there are prac- tically no American forces in al the Aleutians.
 Why?
 The military men answer thi way:
 In 1922 neither the Navy nor the Army could spare the ships or men to guard the Aleutians, because Americas very limited forces were urgently needed elsewhere. Tn Japanese invaded with prac- tically no opposition. They had hardly begun to develop any real military strength on the islands however, before they were kicked out-within year. They offered re- sistance only on Attu. They hac scurried away from Kiska and Agattu by the time the Yankees arrived.
 After victory the Army deployec troops all over the Aleutians. Eleven air fields were built. Adak was de- veloped into a great Army and Navy supply base.
 Now Army Department officials say that no Army people whatever are in the. Aleutians. The Air Force has maintained four fields, but al. will be closed by June 30 unless the Civil Aeronautics Authority keeps one or two of them open. The Navy maintains Adak only in a caretaker status. It will keer the air field operational for limited Navy use. The most important ac- tivity at Adak now is the weather station. Dutch Harbor has been completely closed, with only few Marines stationed there as watch men.
 The reason: there simply isn't enough money to maintain defenses on the Aleutians. Too many other areas of more strategic importance are lacking now in adequate de- lenses.

Eighty Thousand People Mdrooned in Homes-No
 Lives Lost in Rainfall

GALVESTON, Texas, June 3-lR --Torrential rain flooded this is land resort city today.
 Water stood 3,a feet deep in the business section at mid-morning after a tropical-type storm dumped 13 inches of rain on the city's west ern edge in nine hours. Downtown rainfall was lighter-7.7 inches.
 There apparently was no danger to life, although most of Galveston's estimated 80,0O0 people were ma rooned at home.
 Galveston is on the eastern tip ot 30-mile-long island connected with the Texas coast by causeway
 Virtually all the rain fell between midnight and 8:45 am. (CST) al the airport 753 inches fell between 6 and 8 a.m At 8:45 am. the rains stopped and water began draining rapidly into the gulf. But skies remained threateningly heavy.
 Thunder claps like major explo- sions kept the city awake through the night, while winds up to 3e miles per hour whipped the rain deluge.
 A hurricane and flood at Calves ton on Sept. and g, 1900, killed 5000 to 1000 people-the toll was never accurately computed. Since then the great seawall has been erected.

COUNCIL WOULD CLARITY SALES TAX
 BEFORE ELECTION
Voters Invited. 10 Discuss Proposed Measure dt
 June 16 Meeting

The general citizenry needs tc be further informed about the pur- poses and provisions of the pro- posed sales tax before the June 20 election. the Juneau City Council decided last night.
 So,. with Mayor Waino Hendrick- son and all members present, the city fathers planned individual talk, to clubs, unions and other groups, as well as mass meetings for open discussion.
 Questions from the audience prompted the decision to postpone final reading of Ordinance 338 pending possible changes inspired by citizens suggestions. According to City Attorney Howard D. Stab- Ter. passage of such an enabling ordinance is not necessary until after the election.
 LeRoy West asked questions on behalf of himself and other prop erty owners, chiefly for assurance hat the tax would not be continued indefinitely, and as to whether property taxes might be raised, even after the sales tax became effective Expressing himself satisfied with the councils answers, he said the matter is not clear to many voters.
 Mayor Hendrickson said he hopes there will be more such questioning at the next council meeting, June l6, when the ordinance will come up again. He also expressed willing ness to appear before voters groups to discuss the measure.
 The ordinance provides for a one percent tax on sales and services amounting to more than 35 cents Council members say it is designed Q spread the tax burden.
 Mayor Hendrickson pointed out that 800 property owners now pay 30 percent of city expenses, the rest averaging few dollars year in personal property taxes. Purpose of the sales tax would be to retire present and future city bonds.
 Member Al zenger turned over S1 800 and the signatures of the donors, for down payment on the Star Hill property to be used as a l. playground.
 It was accepted for that purpose with the provision that. should the ;ity ever decide to sell the property. ,hese contributions would revert to the donors.
 City Clerk Jack Popejoy recorded vote of thanks to Councilman Zen ger and Elroy Ninnis, 'sparkplugs" for the project.
 Zenger said, This was pleasure it was the easiest collection I ever made. Everyone wants playground for the children"
 Department and committee re- ports were given, and such items discussed as Boat Harbor matters, work on gridiron, provisions of the city traffic code, whether the curfew should be rung in summer, the loan of light truck to the Girl Scouts for emergency use at the summer camp and various parking meter problems.
