STAR HILL LOTS
 TO BE PURCHASED
 FOR PLAYGROUND

A year-round playground which is credited with turning out some of the best basketball players in the city will soon become a playground for keeps.
 This was brought about by a mo- ton made by Councilman Alfred Zenger and passed by the City Council last night. Zenger urged that the city buy the property-on Star Hill between East and Kennedy streets-for a playground.
 A group of Juneau citizens, led by Elroy Ninnis, told the Council that they have already collected $500 toward the cost of the two lots, own- ed by the Sisters of St. Ann.
 A price tag of $4,000 for the plot has been put on it by the owners.
 Councilman James Larson argued against paying the price which is asked.
 I'm not against the playground, he said. 'I'm against paying two prices for the property"
 You know I don't want to give the city's money away" Councilman zenger answered. But think this is very important"
 He pointed out that children come from all over the city to play in the two vacant lots. The playground Is on a hill and takes full advantage of the sun when it shines.
 Dr. J. O. Rude, speaking from the audience, said he didn't think Juneau, as city, has done as much toward establishing playgrounds fol the children as could have been done.
 If we can prevent one or two accidents by keeping the children off the streets, then it is well worth it," he said.
 The motion, as it was passed, pro- vided for Dr. Rude to talk to the Sisters about a $1,000 reduction in the price asked, and for the city to pay the difference between the amount which the citizens commit tee will collect and the total cost of the property.

NEW STATE BILL 'DECENTlY BUR|ED'
 BARTLETT WIRES

The revised Alaska statehood bill which would have taken control of commercial fisheries out ot the hands of the "49th State" was de- scribed today in wire from Dele gate E. L. (Bob) Bartlett as de gently inferred"
 A copy of a committee print of HR 331 was received in Juneau sev- eral days ago by Alaska Senator Howard Lyng of Nome, Democratic National Committeeman who at tended the Senate hearings last month in Washington.
 The new bill, which had official written all over it, was first de- scribed in the nations capital as confidential" and today it was de- nied completely by Sen. Joseph O'Mahoney, head of the commit tee on interior and insular affairs.
 Bartlett's wire arrived in the office of Gov. Ernest Gruening and was released by George Sundborg, consultant to the Alaska Develop ment Board.
 Here is what O'Mahoney tolo Bartlett:
 There has been no committee action of any kind and no autho- rized draft of any new bill, or has any amendment of the House bill been issued"
 With no reference whatever to the copy which reached Senator Lyng, the new "bilp-or whatever it is-apparently was sent to the presses in Washington for exercise.
 Bartlett's wire admitted the print appeared official" but said that the whole affair was buried-"decently.
 The bill not only barred control of commercial fisheries to the new state, but also granted all lands now under control of the federal government to Alaska, to dispose of as the legislature saw fit.
 Senator Lyng was due to take ott today for his home in Nome.

.R.R.(0N1RA(T SUSPENSION
 R REQUESTED

Territorial Commissioner of Labor Henry A. Benson has requested that the contract for repair of the Alaska Railroad in the Rainbow area be suspended until such time as ade- quate safety measures are adopted
 The request, addressed to Oscar Chapman, Secretary of the Interior was prompted by three severe acci- dents which happened recently on railroad construction jobs.
 All the accidents resulted in in- jury or loss of life for workmen Two involved railroad hand cars.
 In his message to Chapman, Ben- son said that 'intolerable conditions and needless slaughter of workmer result from violations of the Alaska Safety Code ="
 Benson said today that cases o1 violations of the Alaska Safety Code during work on US. Army contracts would result in the work stoppage because Army contracts contain clauses stipulating that the local safety code be followed.
 But in the case of the Alaska Railroad, the work is being done by a syndicate of contractors, and there is no such provision in the contract he said.
 The Alaska Railroad has compe- tent safety engineers to devise 2 remedy for the present conditions he stated.
 The Alaska Railroad is the safest in the world as far as transporta- tion is concerned, he said.
