FIRST MEETING OF NAVAL RESERVE TO
 BE HELD TOMORROW

The first regular meeting of Ju- neaus Naval Reserve, which has heen designated as Volunteer Com posite Unit, 17-2, by the Navy, will be held tomorrow evening, March %. at 8 o'clock at Juneau Hotel with It. Commander Doug Gray in charge.
 Purpose of the meeting, Gray said, is to organize the general &C., tivities of the unit, to select it's vari- ouS officers and to plan schedule of future meetings. It. Commander Gray estimates there are from 50 70 75 ex-Navy, ex-Marine and ex- Coast Guard officers and enlisted men in Juneau and urges all who are interested in participating to attend It is his aim to plan pro- grams of future activities in which the men themselves are interested rather than lay out program for them to follow. Those who are un- able to attend tomorrow night can contact Gray at Juneau Hotel at any time for additional information.
 The Navy's postwar program for the Naval Reserve, it was pointed out, is established upon policy of providing (for use on a voluntary basis) a wide range of training and instruction, and the most advanced

type of equipment, instructional ma terials and facilities. The Navy has published and is now preparing over 200 home study correspondence courses and training manuals for those Reservists unable to attend drills but desiring to keep up with naval organization.
 The Naval Reserve already has an enrolment of more than 1000, 900 members and it is estimated that over 100000 will make an annual two weeks training cruise during the coming year. It is It. Comman- der Gray's hope that the Juneau unit will be of sufficient strength to make it feasible to send a ship north to take local Reservists on such a cruise. If not, then it is pos sible they may be attached to some Washington state crew.
 The Naval Reservist, a publica- ton issued by the Bureau of Naval Personnel, is available to any Re- servist interested in receiving it and It. Commander Gray said that he would be glad to add any persons name to the mailing list who re quests it.

STATEHOOD OR FREE l NATION WAIVED BY WOOD OF JUNEAU

Peter Wood, Juneau real estate agent, says he has wired Trygve Lie, Secretary General of the United Nations, for information on Alaska < joining the LIN as a "non-sele- governing territory" Wood says he has cabled Lie as follows:
 Unless we get statehood this ses- sion of the United States Congress I will consider organizing party to seek separation and create the h. dependent Republic of the United States of Alaska through the United Nations.
 we have oil, iron, coal, copper tin, wood, fish, fur, waterpower, agriculture and gold. We would be one of the richest nations.
 "If this seems absurd, so does taxation without representation.

Fatuous Myrmidon Bites Benson

In an editorial Wednesday morning,
the Times dangled a suspicious looking
bait before our eyes.
1t challenged us, whom it identified
as "Prof. Gosser's dialecticians," to give
a salient or sensible reason" for return
ing Tom Burke to Congress.
Anything that easy must have a fish
hook in it somewhere. But what the heck
we fatuous dialecticians are dependable.
So here goes:
We think Tom Burke should be re-
turned to Congress because he has done
a fine job of representing his District. In
cluded in that district, the Ninth Congress
sional, are a good many labor union mem
bers. They constitute a vast majority OF
the voters on election day.
In an agricultural area it is not con-
sidered alarming when the voters chose
a Congressman who o something
about farming, and does what he can to
help the farmers of his constituency get
an even shake in Washington.
1t is not alarming that a Congressman
from an industrial district should under
stand labors problems, and do what he can
to give the working people an even shake.
1t is mere lagniappe mote to Times:
lagniappe means something extra n At

representing the labor union voters prl-

Now comes the part of the
dance that Is never very pleas,

piper for the music provided
regardless of how far off keJ
he may have rendered it.
The piper's price in the case
of Bunting, was paid, we must
p resume, by management's
statements, in lowered produc-
ton from very disgruntled EN-
|ployees. In our estimation, it Is
a wonder that they got rs much
cooperation as they did over the
course of the last several years
They haven't done very much

Big Labor Day
Parade PIonned

Plans to make Labor Day the
biggest parade and outing day in
the history of Toledo have prog
ressed in the past week.
A city-wide picnic for all or
ganized labor will be held at
Sunnyside Beach, where there
are about 125 picnic tables, ac-
commodated by fourteen char
coal burners.
Several thousand cars can
parked in the area, and the pool
will make a cool and restful CEN
trail focus for the picnickers.
Tens of thousands will march
in the parade, which will have
more floats this year than at any
other time. The lineup will be
approximately the same as the
joint AFL-CIO program last
year, but new features will be
added.
During the two and one-half
hours the parade is expected to
last a probable 100, 900 will line
the route to e the marchers
and floats.

marily responsible for his election, did a
fine job of helping the entire area-in-
Guiding small business, professional men,
and others.
The alternatives to Burke are almost
too sickening to contemplate.
The Republican nominee would repre-
sent the Republicans, who are, and will
probably always be, a minority anyhow.
The Blade candidate is an enigma
mote to Times: look hat up and give us
a ring, will you?) a
The Blad lawyer certainly doesn'ts
represent the Democrats. He not only
tried to sabotage their party program, but
he called the party representatives names.
He doesn't represent the Republicans, we
wonder.
And Paul Block Junior isn't a ma
jority, either.
So we offer as salient and sensible"
reasons for returning Tom Burke to Con-
gress this Fall = by a humping vote
these three:
1. He has been doing a fine job for
his district.
2. He represents the vast majority
of the people in his district.
