 WASHINGTON R = The pos sibility of expanding truck mail service in Alaska will be the sub- ject of a meeting in Anchorage Jan. 10.
 Meeting with the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce will be William Hartigan, Assistant Post master General who rode the first mail truck over the Alaska High way from Seattle to Fairbanks when the service started last Sep tember.
 Hartigan told Sen. E. l.. Bartlett he would not be able to visit other communities but he hoped repre- sentatives of interested towns will attend the meeting.
 The department las received a number of comments for and against proposals to expand the service to the South Central and other parts of the state, Hartigan said.
 The four- times-weekly Seattle Fairbanks run has proved speed fer than expected - rather than the 96 hours anticipated, the aver age time has been less than 88 hours.

Newmans position on the Key
Club was roundly attacked in a
letter to the Minneapolis TRIBUNE

office-manager of the Twin City
Observer and st. Paul Sun.
The Spokesman and Recorder
publisher answered Mrs. Kyle in
a letter which appeared in the

was a reiteration of the position
Newman took before the council
somewhat amplified.
Newman stated this week ht
originally entered the Key Ciut
case because a state official of the
NAACP had suggested to a Min
neapolis NAACP officer that
Henry Sabes, proprietor Of the
Key Club should be given some
help because of his record of sup
