Action Taken to End MuddIe
IOn Turn Lanes for Traffic

District Traffic Director
George Keneipp yesterday acted
to clear UP confusion attributed
to recent pavement markings
governing left and right turns
at downtown intersections.
The pavement marking pro-
gram has two major features.
Mr.. Keneipp said. These are
solid lines closest to the center
line which require all vehicles
in that lane to make left turns
and double lanes indicating
either right or left turns.
The traffic director said We

By GEORGE KENNEDY

Readers Of this column
probably have an idea the
Rambler has it pretty good.
They are right.
Wednesday night he never
had 1t better.
He was a guest at a dinner
Of the Gourmet Society.
This Gourmet Society is a
group of about a dozen men.
There are no dues, but
when a members turn comes
around, he orders q dinner
for the membership at his
favorite restaurant, planning
the menu and selecting the
wines himself. Then he picks
up the tab.
Simple?
When the Rambler met
his host, Admiral Lee Low
ette (vice Admiral Leland
P. Lovette. sUSN, retired) the
man was in a state Of
nerves. It had him bothered
more than when he took the
USS Guam into the kami-
kaze area of Okinawa.

Army and Navy Club. Carl

1t was on the scale of one
of the Les Amis d'Escoffier
dinners, except they are for

places.

admiral said. "I 60 broke.

Court for the District Of

charge of investments at the

ance Co., and Bill Press,

At the table there was
much discussion of the Rain
water Madeira, which went
with the Petite Marmite.
Only once in q great many
years is there a happy COM
bination of meteorological
circumstances that will bring
about this great wine, said
the admiral.
"At one dinner" said Judge
Tamm, "our host, / think it
was Tony Muto, tried to put
one over. When the dinner
wine was served, he distrib-
uted a questionnaire asking
us to name the country, the

House Approves British Request To Postpone Debt

WASHINGTON, R-The Brit ish government, hoping for con gressionalr approval of it's bid to postpone payments on big debt to this country, could hardly have picked a worse moment to an- nounce a tax cut at home.
 The ink was barely dry on newspaper stories about the $280 million British tax cut when House members began debate Wednesday on a bill to allow Britain to postpone up to seven annual payments on her $4,372,- 100000 loan, made in 1946.
 The House finally passed the bill 218-167 and sent it to Presi- dent Eisenhower-but not before plenty of talk about enriching Britain at the expense of U. S. taxpayers.
 In Ottawa, the Canadian House of Commons took similar action on repayment terms of Britain's $1,185, 100000 postwar loan from Canada.
 Under the bill, Britain, which has been hard-pressed economic ally, could put off annual interest and principal repayments for up to seven years. These could total around a billion dollars, but Brit ain would still have to pay it all back, starting in the year 2OO1.

PACIFIC NORTHERN ATRLTNES
 CELEBRATES 18th ANNIVERSARY

SEATTLE, R-President A. c. Woodley of Pacific Northern Air line declared Wednesday that de- nial of permanent certification for Pacific Northern Airlines' States Alaska service is seriously ham, pering needed expansion of the company's facilities,
 Woodley addressed Chamber of Commerce aviation division luncheon celebrating PNA's 18th anniversary.
 He said jetliner service to Alas ka and construction of a large hangar at Seattle-Tacoma Inter national Airport are being ob- structed by the federal govern ment.
 The aviation division unani- mously reaffirmed it's support of a Chamber resolution adopted in February 1856, urging permanent certification of all States Alaska air carriers.
 This primarily would affect Alaska Airlines and Pacific Northern as Northwest Orient Airlines is permanently certificat- ed to Anchorage and Pan Ameri- can World Airways to Fairbanks. but it also affects NWA's "inside" route from the twin cities to An chorage. President Nelson David of Alaska Airlines moved the re- affirma ton.
 'There should be jet service to Alaska in four or five years, and the time is coming when we should build a new hangar here, but we cant finance them with out permanent certification, said Woodley.
 Pacific, Northern first asked for an Anchorage-Juneau route in 1940 as stepping stone for ser vice to Seattle" Woodley said, pointing out that the company gradually has extended it's coastal route to serve many Alaskan cities between Anchorage and Seattle. 'fBut IT years later we still don't have permanent certification."
 Legislation now is pending in Congress to make permanent the routes of Pacific Northern from Seattle to Anchorage, and of Alaska Airlines from Seattle to

serving Alaska in point of service if not in size.
 ''The past 25 years were not easy," said Woodley, who started at Anchorage in 1882 with a one man, one-airplane bush operation. ''I am confident the future will be considerably easier if we get per manent certification. Alaska is a rapidly expanding, thriving com munity with unlimited resources.
