HALL BY
OCTOBER

The Juneau City Fathers rolled
up their sleeves last night and star
ted the first steps toward construc-
ton of the Fire Department sec
ton of the Municipal Safety Build
ing that will permit bids to be let
by June l, and the Fire Department
moving in by october or November.
Fire Chief Minard Mill, in present.
ing the proposition for building the
fire department section, pointed out
that one of these days Juneau res
idents would wake up and discover
that fire insurance rates here are
going up because of the inadequate
housing and equipment of the de-
partment. He stressed the uncer-
tainty of occupancy and lack of
firemen quarters at the proposed
support site, but said the firemen
would live in a tent if they could
look forward to getting into the
new hall by November.
The fire department section OF
the new city building is roughly
one-third of the proposed structure
and it would be cheaper in the
long run to invest the money in
the ultimate structure than in
temporary makeshifts, Mill stated.
He stressed the Importance of ade-
ouate housing for the firemen in
order that they might be able to
answer calls promptly, especially
night calls. IT'S the first few min
utes of fire that counts. Delay
in getting to a fire can be fatal, .
he said
Harold Foss was asked to discuss
the plan Ee stated that the fire
hall section was the least expensive
part of the building and could be
constructed for approximately $17o,-
600, not including the Jail. He said
that some time ago authority was
given the council to sell $125, 900
worth of bonds for a new fire hall,
that about $4,000 were held by
the city that could be cashed in,
and that the additional funds could
be raised or enough savings could
be effected to make it unnecessary.
Foss said that the heating plant
from the ABB Hall would do as a
temporary plant in the new build
ing, that radiators, conduits and
other items could be salvaged from
the two buildings which are to be
RACED to make material savings.
Temporary Jail
In the preliminary plans a space
is provided for fire department
workroom and storage. 1t was agree
able to all that this space could be
fixed up for temporary jail.
Foss promised final plans within
three weeks and said that the job
was of such nature that it could
be handled by local contractors
and it was likely that bids could
even be opened before June l.
Councilman Bert Mcdowell NOV
ed that the architect be directed
to complete final plans. that new
agreement be worked out by Foss,

STUDENT
DRAFTING
Up AGAIN

WASHINGTON. April 7 III
New liberalized plans for draft de-
ferment of high school graduates
and college students, announced
this week, will be reviewed at a
special meeting Monday of the
House Armed Services Committee.
This reappraisal, with Maj. Gen.
Lewis Hershey, selective service di-
rector, doing the explaining, comes
at critical point during House
consideration of the highly contro-
versial Universal Military Training
and Service (UMTS) bill.
Repeatedly, the House Armed
Services Committee in approving
the Draft UNITS bill okayed the
student deferment plans in outline.
Several members have since found
they didn't realize how liberal they
would be until spelled out.
Supporters Of the UNITS bill did
double-gulp when, amid arguing
in the House the necessity of re-
ducing the present draft age from
10 years to IS years and six months
they read front page stories Of the
new student deferment regulations.
These would permit students now
in college to continue either on the
basis of past high scholastic stand
ing or record of 10 on special apti-
tude tests to be offered this sum-
mer.
Rep. Kilday (D-Tex), a member
of the Armed Services Committee,
announced he would offer an
amendment to kill this plan.

Merry Go Round

WASHINGTON. President Aur-
iol of France has now left the Uni
ted States for Canada.
When he departed. there remain
ed behind him, hanging on the
walls of Mount Vernon, a Symbol
of France as dear to the French
people as the Liberty bell in Phil
adelphia is to the American people
1t is the key to the bastille.
President Auriol paid visit te
George Washington's home and saw
the key to the bastille hanging or
the wall just inside the door But
he did not put it there. 1t was given
to Washington by Tom Paine, cru
sading pamphleteer of Revolution
airy days, to whom it had beer
given by General Lafayette.
One of the most historic symbols
of France, the key was secured by
Lafayette from the leaders OF the
French revolution who unlocked the
hastille and released its politica
prisoners on July IA, 1889. Lafayette
was one of the French aristocrats
who had fought for the French
people against the tyranny of Louis
XIII, and the French revolution
aries gave him the key partly fol-
his own protection.

Inter-Ma
Condoned
In Australia

NEW YORK CITY - (AJP) =
Opposition grew in faraway Aus
tralia last week to the passage of
a resolution by the Jewish Stu
dents Study Group, Of the Mel
bourne University, calling upon
Jewish youth to condone inter
marriage.
The action, first of its kind in
the history of Australian Jewry,
was reported in the Australian
Jewish News.
Arguments against inter-mar-
riage were labelled "reactionary
and fascist" by supporters of the
resolution. It was reported that
several achers of Jewish
schools attended the campus
groups meeting and supported
the resolution condoning inter-
marriage.
Opposition to the action by the
students showed signs of mount
ing. A Jewish leader, DR.. Weiner,
urged that Australian Jewry act
to challenge the resolution. He
termed the students action as
"gravely undermining the very
existence of the Jewish people"

BIRTH VS.. SURGERY"

any doubt that circumcision carries with it many
hygenic advantages, we Jews circumcise our
selves solely for religious reasons. The fact that
medical research has given us added knowledge of
its physical benefits, only buttresses the Biblical
assurance that ''the Lord commanded us to do all
these statutes for our good always. that he
might preserve us and keep us alive"
There is a clear difference between circu1mci-
sion and the Birth Milan required by the Jewish
religion. The former is nothing more than minor
surgical operation; the latter is sacred religious
ceremony. Even in the surgery involved, there is
vast difference between the two Circumcision, as
medically defined and practiced, does not meet

The most charitable comments
that reached my ear belonged to
the class of apologize, perhaps
the Prime-Minister did not mean
exactly what he said-Maybe he
said these things for home con-
sumption only" Behind these
feelings of CONSERVATION and
puzzlement, there was sense of
bitterness b out the timing of
Mr.. Ben-Gurion's remarks. I
could almost hear them wonder:
"Why did he have to say these
things on the eve of the National
u. j. A. Conference? Doesn't he
know that the primary purpose
of the Conference is to generate
renewed enthusiasm and determ-
nation in the hearts of the vol
unteer workers who will have to
carry the burden of the 1852 cam
paign?"
At this moment. nobody can
measure in dollars and cents the
damage d o n e to the 1852 cam
paign by the wet blanket thrown
over it by the Prime Minister'S
much publicized statement. We
can only hope that before long
it will be relegated to the limbo
of oblivion.
Time For American Zionists
To Speak UP
But, as an old Zionist, my pur-
pose in writing these lines ex-
tends beyond the speculation
about the effect the Prime Minis
ter's words will have on the 1852
u. J. A. campaign. I feel that the
time has come for ike-minded
American Zionists to give public
expression to their long sup
pressed feelings about the inces-
SAINT shower of blu S e that has
been heaped upon them for so
long a time. I feel that the
thoughts I am about to express
echo the thinking of thousands of
other ike-minded ZionistS here
and abroad
Writing articles for public dis
semination has not been my habit
and is not my forte. Even now I
should have preferred to keep in
the background. if officially. the
z. o. A. against which the shafts
Of Ben-Gurion's attack were
