ASK RETENTION
OF TALLAPOOSA
Protest Expected at Luncheon Tomorrow Against Bering Sea Duty
Orders recently received by the United States Coast Guard Cutter, Tallapoosa, Capt. C. H. Dench, to leave her Juneau base on or about April 15 for two months' patrol of Bering Sea do not meet with the approval of Juneau business interests. With the halibut season under way and weather on the banks uncertain, as is usual during spring months, the service craft should be kept in Southeast Alaska waters, in the opinion of residents of this city.
The orders to the cutter to go on Bering Sea duty will be discussed at the noon luncheon tomorrow of the Chamber of Commerce. Quite likely a resolution will be adopted protesting to the authorities at Washington against taking the vessel from this neighborhood.
The Tallapoosa left port this morning. She will be back tomorrow night.
Among guests of honor at tomorrow's luncheon will be several members of the Legislature.
Matters of a routine nature, but of more than ordinary interest, will be presented for disposal tomorrow. Said G. H. Walmsley, secretary of the Chamber today.
