TO ARREST DRIVERS
 0B5TRUCTING FIRE
 TRUCK AT ALARM

The Juneau City Council last night concurred with a request from Fire Chief Minard Mill that some drastic action be taken to eliminate unnecessary cars driving to fires and blocking the streets when fire alarm is sounded.
 At a recent fire, the fire trucks were delayed by trucks and other vehicles that failed to pull to the side of the street and cars bearing sightseers going to the fire hamper ing volunteer firemen who were rushing to the scene.
 It was decided to sound an al- arm, send out the fire trucks and station firemen to arrest offenders. Mayor Waino Hendrickson said that suitable publicity would be given the matter
 It was pointed out that city ordinance prohibits following fire trucks or other emergency vehicles during an alarm and requires that cars pull over to the curb until the emergency has passed.
 The first few minutes of fire are the crucial ones and few min- utes delay of fire trucks and fire men may make the difference in loss of life and property, the Chief said.

 ToAIaska Govt. Employees
 Opposed by Senator Butler

WASHINGTON, June 8 - LR = Senator Butler said yesterday that elimination of cost-of- living pay ments to government employees hired in Alaska would be "short-sighted and undesirable.
 He urged the Senate to remove from the Agriculture Department Appropriation bill ban on sucf payments to Alaskans who become government employees. The bill woulo continue cost of living payments tt employees hired in Continental Unit ed States for service in the Ter ritories.
 The House-passed provision ap- plies to all Territories, but Butler directed his remarks specifically tc the Alaska problem.
 He said the payments are "abso- lutely necessary to get quail fled personnel to accept positions there"
 Surveys clearly show that the cost of living in Alaska is 40 to 5C per cent higher than in the Con- tinental United States" he declared Furthermore, see absolute ly no reason for distinction between those employees recruited in Alaska and those recruited here but sent to Alaska. They are the same kind of people, and Alaskans are just as much citizens of the United States as are the residents of the 48 states, If they do the same work, they should receive the same pay
 Butler, an opponent of statehood for Alaska, added. however, that II statehood should be granted Alaska sit would probably not be practical to continue to pay this extra dif- ferential"

PULP MILL
 APPLICANT
 AT AUX BAY
Forest Service Receives Application for h.
 dian Point Site

Formal application for a pulp mill site at Aux Bay has been re- ceived in the regional offices of the U. s. Forest Service, it was announced last night at the month ly meeting of Aux ay Post No. 25, The American Legion.
 According to Legion Adjutant Robert N. Druxman, the applica- lion was made by Bernhard B.. Mullen, of Juneau, on behalf of the Alaska Cellulose Co.,, for mill location at Indian Point which is peninsula protruding into Aux Bay from the N. J. Bavard prop erty at Mile 15. The Forest Service did not reveal details of the appli- cation but it was understood that the company proposes to establish a mill with 200 ton daily capa- city.
 Considerable discussion took place at the Legion meeting on the ad- vantages and disadvantages of such project in the Aux Bay area. Ad- vocates pointed out that such an industrial plant would mean lower electrical rates and the completion of the proposed community water system. Opponents declared that a pulp mill would destroy the scenic value of the area and bring in un- desirable elements which would ad- versely affect the present residen- tial desirability of Aux Bay.
 Efforts to get a formal opinion from the Iegsgs2 Jn .ke sss..p mil were finally tabled until next meet ing in order to get full discussion and the opinions of non-Legion Aux Bay residents.

nection with the recent Act of Con
gress which seemed to provide
that federal employees in the Vir-

AS the situation there is somewhat

cleared the course The King of
Sports is ready to present The
Sport of Kings for your racing
pleasure, and the handlers of
BEAU GESTE and BOBBY SOX
are deciding to settle their dispute
as to which horse is the "bestest"

champions as LADY BARBARA,
AYE AYE, RED PEPPER, LADY
ALDEN, RED DOG, SIR THO
MAS MOORE and his famous
sister EAGLE crossed swords for
supremacy of the local turfs.
BOBBY SOX hasn't let down
on his training a wee bit and his
time at last racing was a wond-
erful LA. BEAU GESTE has gone
to boarding school and his train
ers believe he will graduate with
honors. But will he be able to
take the champ out of the chamn-
ion this time? That is a question
Some keen observers think that
the SOX is too wise a bird for the
BEAU to monkey with right now
while Doc and his chief trainer
Bid believe they have the situa-
ton well in hand. No fooling, the
BEAU really looks in the pink of
condition, but looks may be de-

The Committee did not hold
hearings on the appropriation es-
innate for Virgin Islands Public
Works. These hearings will be
held within a few weeks. A total
og $913,500 has been requested for
hospitals, schools, waterfront de-
velopment, and telephone commu-
~nications. I held several confer
ences with the territorial officers
in Washington in charge of the
Public Works Program. Mr.. Thorn

Funds have been made available
to our public works departments
to do some final cleanup work
on the salt water and sewer sys-
TENS, and the potable water sys-
TENS in both Islands, and the
abbatoir in St. Thomas. When
these adjustments shall have been
completed, the Department of the
Interior will expect the local
governments formally to take
over these projects for operation.
An architect will shortly be selec
ted to prepare the final plans and
specifications for the hospital pro
gram for the three islands, and it
is still the intention to advertise
for the hospitals in all islands this
year and to construct the st.
Croix hospitals first. l discussed

November / stated that funds
were available, at my request, to
begin construction of the road
across the island of st. John this
year from savings which had been
made in other items. You will re-
member also that, since that state
ment was made, the Bureau of the
Budget set aside in a reserve $3.50,
900 of the million dollars which
had been left to us for our entire
public works program this year.
This caused a change in the allot-
ments SO that only SIT 900 is avail
able Immediately for the st. John
road, the total estimated cost of
which is $4,000 plus. The Depart
ment of the Interior will not un-
dertake construction of this road
until a complete physical survey
has been made. The Department
