EIGHT SIGNED UP FOR WAFER SPORTS
 SHOW ON FOURTH

The water skiiers and aquaplan- CTS have been organized to put on a show during the Fourth of July boat races, according to Joe Me- Lean. Practices will take place at the seaplane float in the small boat harbor on Friday or Saturday eve nings provided the weather is not stormy. From all indications, the participants will demonstrate in a style worthy of the beaches at Cat alina Island.
 Several speedboats are associa- ted with this demonstration in or der to provide maximum safety and at the same time to give necessary speed for proper maneuvering.
 Those participating will be Shir- ley Meuwissen, Lee Webster, Dave Evanson, Jack Stennett. Howard Weed, Jim Vuille, Bob Pasquan and Stu Houston.
 Many Juneauites are familiar with this sport, and as long as two sets each of water-skiis and aquaplanes are available, anyone else in terested in joining the fun should call Mclean at 53 or meet with the group at the small boat harbor dur ing the practices.

20 and 45 feet below muskeg and tide flats.
 The advantage of this type of ex- ploration is that this job cost about $3,000 whereas drilling of series of test holes would run around Sl5.0O0 to acquire the same informa- ton.
 The surface surveys are going for ward by Juneau crew and are due for completion in two weeks. Leonard has nothing but praise for Terry Robbins, party chief; John Monagle, Bill Graves and Harry Johnson. He said that the crew caught on to the seismo work and in two days were as efficient as crews he'd had in the field for six months.

SENATE INQUIRY ON MAG ARTHUR
 APPEARS ENDED

WASHINGTON. June 28 -tR- The stormy Senate inquiry into the custer of Gen. Douglas MacArthur appears ended, but debate contin- ued almost as hot as ever today over who was right President Truman or Macarthur.
 Here is an example of the sharp division in the Senate Armed Serv- ices and Foreign Relations commit tees which conducted the 42-day investigation:
 Senator McMahon: "The MacAr- thur-ites have lost their case"
 Senator Brewster: "The record of the hearings pretty completely de- vastates the Truman administra- tions case"
 The indications are some of the other 24 members of the inquiry panel will line up with McMahon, some with Brewster, while others probably will take position some where in between.
 The lengthy investigation n it started May 3 came yesterday to what most members regard as a permanent halt so far as oral testi- mony is concerned.
 The joint committee will meet to- morrow or Thursday to discuss plans for reports on the investigation and to arrange for possible submission of written statements from some persons who did not testify.

The libel suit commenced by Don Carlos Brownell, February 6, 1946, against Harold ". Hunt and Nellie M Hunt was tried in the District Court for the Territory of Alaska, Third Division, at Anchorage be- ginning on the 29th day of January, 1851. MT BroWnell was formerly Senator from the Third Division of Alaska and Harold ". Hunt and Nellie M. Hunt published the Seward Polaris at Seward, Alaska, from the Summer of 1914 to the Fall of 1948
 Evidence was presented during the entire day of January 29 and during the course of the evidence it appeared that MT. Brownell had been damaged by reason of statements in a certain advertisement in the Seward Polaris on the 18th day of March 1e47, in which it was claimed that MT Brownell was unfair to organized labor in that as it was alleged, he had voted for the open shop in Alaska In the course of the testi- mony it appeared that MT. Brownell had NEVER at any time voted for the open shop in Alaska, that the charge that he was unfair to organized labor was without foundation. The unions at Seward, Alaska, subsequently, found the charge to be with out foundation and retracted the statement that Mir BroWnell was unfair to labor It further appeared that in booklet issued by the Alaska Territorial Federation of Labor, that MT. Brownells voting record on bills supported by labor was second to none in the Senate
 It also developed from the testimony that certain charges made in the Seward PolAris concerning Mr. Brownelrs relations And activities in connection with the publicly owned electric company at Seward, Alaska and the privately owned electric company at the same place. and also concerning MT BroWnell'S activities in connection with procuring the Marine Ways at Seward Alaska, and his various other activities in public service were false After complete airing of these charges it was agreed by all the parties that MT. Brownell's actions in connection with the public utility and the Marine Ways, etc. were based on a sincere desire on behalf of MT. Brownell7 to serve his home community and for no other pur- pose whatsoever; and there was no evidence

whatever that Mir. Brownell was insincere in any of his public duties at any time.
 At the close of the evidence presented on the 29th day of January, 1851, an offer was made on behalf of Harold w. Hunt and Nellie M. Hunt to accept a court judgment in behalf of Don Carlos Brownell on the following terms; to pay Mr. Brownells court costs attorneys fees, travel expenses. subsistence, and witness fees in connection with the pending suit and they offered to publicy announce that they were convinced of MT.
