Billiken, God of Things As They Ought To Be,
 To Be Symbol For AVA

JUNEAU-A battery of strange little men invaded Juneau!
 They landed in the vicinity of the Baranof Hotel and swiftly took over the Gift Shop, the Pan American Airways offices, the Alaska Coastal uptown ticket of- flee, and the Alaska Visitors Asso- ciation.
 It is rumored that some made their way into the Bubble Room to sabotage bar operations.
 People in the vicinity described these odd creatures as of a bilious yellow complexion, with strangely crossed eyes and red tongues hanging from drooling mouths. Some people said men from Mars!
 They disrupted the flow of commerce and threatened for a while to panic the forces trying to drive them out of. town. Rally ing their forces, the defenders finally rounded up all the little men" and Pan American Sales Manager Fred Dunn escorted them in person to Seattle, by PAA plane, of course.
 Now converted Allies, the little men" will be turned loose at the receptions of the Pacific North west Trade Association confer ence in Victoria. They will help Dunn and Alaska Visitors Asso- ciation's Executive Director Jim Chadwick to capture the good will of the other delegates.
 The little men were, it was discovered actually a new version of MT. Billiken, god of things as they ought to be, whom the Alas. ka Visitors Association is promot- ing as a symbol of travel and fun in Alaska.
 They are created from yellow cardboard about three inches high and have extended arms that can fold around the rim of a cock tail or iced-tea glass.
 The Billikens were imprinted by the Daily Alaska Empire but when the die which was to be used for stamping them out, failed to ar rive, everyone in the vicinity was pressed into service cutting out the little fellows.

Destructiveness based on desire to know what

constructiveness directed at making it tick better
Gullibility can be turned into understanding and

Restlessness can be turned into versatility
Laziness can be turned into contemplation and study
Extravaganza can be turned into generosity.

zoning Commission
Studies Plan 10 Allow
Histories in BUILDINGS

The District zoning Commission
today took under advisement a
proposal to increase the number of
stories permitted in buildings
here after concluding hearings on
the subject.
While retaining the height
limitation the proposed change
would permit up to IA stories in
buildings in the 130-foot height
area rather than the present 12-
story limit.
Opposed by Associations.
The move was opposed today by
SpokeSmen from the Progressive
Citizens Association of George
town and the Federation of Citi-
ZenS' Associations.
It was favored by John r.
Searles, executive secretary of the
District Redevelopment Ian d
Agency. and Charles J. Bauer,
executive secretary of the Build
ing Owners and Managers Asso-
citation of Metropolitan Washing
ton.
Frederick c. lie Compte, repre-
senting the Georgetown group, de-
clared that migration from big
cities to suburbs was due in large
part to failure of city officials to
solve the traffic problem. Erec-
ton of large apartment buildings
cause traffic and parking density
ir neighborhoods where they are
built, he pointed out.
Separate Consideration.
Mrs. Harold Hinton, zoning
chairman of the group, said the
commission would be flying in the
face of Congress if it broke down
the density regulations. She
added that residential, areas
should be considered separately
from commercial areas.
Edmund Wells. representing the
federation and the Shepherd Park
Citizens Association, said the fed
Grafton had adopted resolution
opposing the proposed amend
mentS.
Mr.. Searles said the proposed
amendments would be helpful in
carrying out the work of the land
agency. The board of directors
indorsed them at a recent meet
ing, he reported. High buildings
could be erected in the blighted
areas, he said.

Tydings Hits Secrecy
In Negotiations for
Cincinnati Newspaper

Negotiations for the sale Of
the Cincinnati Enquirer to the
Cincinnati Times-Star were car
ried on in secrecy" former Sena-
tor Millard E. Tydings charged
today.
Mr.. Tydings made his charge
in District Court as he appeared
as an attorney for Enquirer en-
ployeS who are attempting to
block the sale in hope, it was
said, that they could buy the
newspaper themselves.
Attorney G. Bowdoin Craighill,
representing the American Secu-
rity & Trust Co.. trustee of the
estate which includes the En-
ouirer, said a purchase offer made
by the employees was ridiculous"
Sale Ratification Involved.
The action before Chief Judge
Bolitha j. Laws of District Court
involves the ratification of the
sale of the newspaper by the
trustees. The Enquirer had been
left in trust for the heirs of the
late John R. Mclean of Wash
ington.
Purchase terms to the Times
Star call for a $1.25 million down
payment on S7.5 million pur-
chase price. Mr.. Craighill told the
court the remainder of the price
would be paid off in notes bear
ing Az per cent interest and
would be backed by at least Sc
million in TimeS-Star assets. The
Times-Star is owned by the Taft
family of Cincinnati and among
the owners is Senator Taft, Re-
publican of Ohio.
A counter-offer for the Enquir-
er, made in the form of a letter
to the trustees by James H. Rat
lift. Enquirer reporter. represent
ing the employees committee,
promised SIS million down pay
ment on an So million purchase
price. The remainder would be
paid over 12-year period by
notes at Az per cent interest, and
by a percentage of the Enquirer's
yearly net earnings.
Doubts 1t Will Succeed,
Mr. Craighill criticized the offer
as having mot one chance in
thousand" of being successfully
carried out. He declared it is
secured only on the Enquirer prop
.erty.
The attorney told the court the
trust committee composed Of
hard-headed businessmen" had
unanimously decided the Times
Star offer was better. He said that
all the heirs involved are also in
favor of selling to the Times Star.
The Mclean heirs are John
Mclean and Edward B. Mclean
and Mamie Spears Reynolds,
daughter of former Senator
Robert Reynolds of North Caro-
lima. The late Edward B. Mclean,
ST., was once published of the
Washington Post. Appearing in be-
half of the employees. besides Mr..
