NO CITY COUNCIL ACTON ON APPEAL
 BY LIQUOR STORE

After hearing a report From the Police Committee, the City Coun- oil in special session last night de- c.ded that no action would be taken to have the Baranof Liquor Stores 1850 liquor license issued immediately.
 The Baranof Liquor Store, rep resented by Joseph A. Mclean, Ju- neau attorney, at the last regular meeting of the city council asked the city to take action to have the license issued.
 Following the recommendation of the city council, the US. District Court here had decided that the stores license would not be issued until February because an em- ployee of the store had been found guilty of selling liquor to a minor during 1949.
 At the meeting of the council last week, the matter was referred to the police committee for con sideration.
 Following the decision on the li- quor stores request, the meeting last night dragged on as city coun- oilmen read a first draft of the proposed Juneau Traffic Code.
 The code, an improved version of Juneau traffic ordinances, is being drawn up to include provisions for the impounding of cars violating parking regulations and the rent ing of taxi and commercial vehicle curb-side stands.

Harold S. Barnes. director of
the ANPA's Bureau of Advertising,
made the statement at the annual
convention of the National News

In my opinion" Mr.. Barnes
told delegates to the 2Oth annual
session, "TV is going to have a
very negligible effect upon the
leadership of a newspaper, pro-
vided it's readable paper.
1T may affect the hours at
which the paper is read, but if

sympathetic to the interests and
needs of its community, I'm sure
it's going to get as thorough
reading as it ever did"
Mr.. Barnes decried what he said
seemed to be an almost uni
versal tendency" to believe that
new medium can grow only at
the expense of older media.
The association chose Bertrand
E. Stolpe, promotion manager of
the Des Moines Register and

U. 5. Production Equal

Economists Report
BY the Asseeiessd Press

America is turning out goods
and services on a scale right up
to the top of the boom in late
1913. Commerce Department
economists say.
The National output in the first
quarter of this year hit a $265
billion-a-year clip after the sec

That was "a per cent below

Of ourth-quarter 1913. but the de-
partment's director of business
economics, Joseph Meehan, put ii
in this light:
Since prices were lower. the
physical volume Of production was
practically back to the previous
high. The trend of business as
the first 1880 quarter ended was
upward, and the advance has con-
tinued in the current quarter"
The economist said the present
business upswing is "a continual
ton of the boom which has
progressed. with one short and
moderate interruption Gin 1949 +,
since the beginning OF 1916"
Consumer Buying Spurts.
A SO billion-a-year squirt in con-
sumner buying during first quarter
1850 after a year of little move
ment up or down was credited
with a major role in this years
upturn in business.
Consumer spending. breaking all
records at a $183 billion annual
level, induced merchants to buy
more stocks of goods to meet GUS
toners demands. That got the
factories to raise production sights
and they in turn hired more work.

Hello Beginners: H ere we
are again, to continue our descrip-
ton of the various types of postal
matter issued by the nations of
the world in the universal Postal
Union.
C-Air Mail or AirpOst Stamps
These stamps introduced in the
United States about 1913 were to
be used specifically for letters to
be carried by airplane. While the
general postage stamps were per-
mitted to be used on Air Mail
letters, the specially issued Air
Mail stamps were not valid for
regular postage Most of the gov
ernmentS in the U.P.U. do not in
sist on the use of the Airpost
stamps. The words AIR MAIL
appear on all the Airpost stamps
of the United States while on the
stamps of Italy we find ''POSTA
AEREA" inscribed; France says
''Poste Arienne," Germany calls it
'Luftpost' and Netherlands uses
the term 'Luchtpost." The Air
post stamps of countries like
Czechoslovakia, China and Japan
may be recognized by the picture
of a plane prominently displayed
on the stamp. Sometimes the
General Postage Stamps are over
printed with the words "Air Mali
or its foreign equivalent or with
just the picture of an airplane.
1t is interesting to note that one
can study the evolution of the air.
plane from the pictures you find
on the Airpost stamps. On the
stamps of the United States you
can see pictures of the first
Wright Brothers airplane and the
various types of improved ma
chimes down to the "DC4-Sky-
master" on the current &c Air
Mail stamp. We can see Lind
bergh's Spirit of st. Louis" the
Graf Zeppelin" and the China
Clipper" On German stamps, we
can see a "Seaplane" and Mill
tary Transport Plane" Hungari-
an stamps show us various types
of "Gliders" while the Flying
Boat" is seen on the Airpost
stamps of Greece. And finally
on the Aviation Jubilee Issue of
Russia of 1887 we find pictures of
large Transport Planes" from a
single motor to an eight motored
Transport.
BY the time you will read this,
Israel will have issued its first
Air Mail stamps, to commemorate
its affiliation with the Universal
Postal Union.
