FOOD SHORTAGE IN WEST DUE TO
 SHIPPING STRIKE
Governor May Appeal to Washington to Relieve
 Serious Situation.

Gov. Thomas Riggs today began efforts to relieve the serious food situation now existing to the West ward, especially along Prince Will jam Sound, as the result of the shipping strike, according to a statement made by him this morn ing. If there are no possible means of getting supplies to the affected districts by commercial transporta- tion, the matter will be put up to the Federal Government for some assistance.
 Supplies Run Low.
 Photographic advices received from towns in the Prince William Sound district by the Governor state that already shortage of certain food commodities exist and the supply of staple foodstuffs for the entire dis trict is only sufficient to last not more than two weeks, while in cer tain towns it will be exhausted even sooner.
 Anchorage reports two weeks supply. Seward has supplies for ten days, Cordova merchants are out of butter, eggs, potatoes, ham and ba- con and have flour, milk, fresh meats. and sugar for 12 days. Val deg reports perishable stuffs ex- hausted but as a supply of staples sufficient to last 60 days.
 ketchikan Organized.
 Photographic information received in Juneau yesterday stated that the wholesale grocery company at that place had been able to supply all wants there up to the present time. Perishables and meats were expected on the Princess Mary today.
 The Tongass Trading Company, it was stated, had two boats on the way north from Seattle and the Ket- chikan merchants are organizing and it was thought probable that they would send the barge Bellingham to Seattle after supplies.

Seattle Chamber Commerce Man Makes Strong Plea for
 New Government Policy.

SEATTLE, Wash, May 9.-Unless change in Alaska's form of govern nent is made decomposition of the territory viii continue to point where Eskimos and Indians will be .he inhabitants, J. L. McPherson, Seattle Chamber of Commerce, told members of the House Committee on Territories at the opening of the committee's hearing today on the Curry bill for an Alaskan Develop nent Board, according to a special Washington despatch received today by the Seattle Times.
 MT. McPherosn declared that dur ing Americas sovereignty over the territory, Alaska had produced nat ural wealth of more than a billion dollars He presented customs rec ords showing that two dollars of raw materials had been sent to the states for every dollar of finished prod uct sent to Alaska. He also pointed out that the Scandinavian Penin- sula, with less fertility but similar climatic conditions supports pop ulation of ten million.
 Opposed to Waste
 "The Northwest is unalterably opposed to any policy that will re- suit in exploitation waste in devel- opment of Alaska's natural re- sources," he said But these re sources were placed there for sup, port of men and women to whom Alaska would be home.
 "We earnestly pray Congress to initiate a policy that will result in utilization of the territory's resources with every safeguard against mo nopoly exploitation, to the end of creating local industries and encour' aging settlement by hOme-buildine citizens"

Dept.'s Ruling Not
 Binding on Cour,

HONOLULU, T. H., May 7.-The recent ruling of the Department of Labor that Japanese, Chinese and other Orientals who served in the American military forces during the war are, nevertheless, ineligible to citizenship, will not be binding on Federal courts, according to Federal Judge Horace w. Vaughan of Homo lulu, whose previous decision that such Orientals are eligible to citi- zenship, has been fought in main. land courts.
 Judge Vaughan holds that an ex- ecutive branch of the government cannot interpret the law for a Fed eral judge when, in the judges opin- ion, such an interpretation is con- trary to law. He added that the only ruling contrary to his own opin- ion which he could recognize must come from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco or the Supreme Court.

ALASKA BUREAU
 PUBLICITY WILL
 CLOSE SATURDAY
Lack of Funds Causes Sus- pension of Territory's
 Official Advertising.

The Territorial Bureau of Pub licity, after four years continuous work, will close at least temper arily next Saturday night according to an official announcement made today The end of it's activities is brought about by the failure of the last Legislature to appropriate funds for it's operation longer than May 15.
 An effort was made by members of the House of Representative to include money for publicity work in the general appropriations measure when it was before the Committee on Free Conference, but the Senate managers refused to consider the proposal. In fact, there was a dis position on the part of the Senate to repeal the act under which the publicity department was organized but the House killed the measure by an overwhelming vote.
 F. J. White, chief of the bureau, said today that the business of the office would be wound up Saturday evening and all the property, ex hibits of various kinds, and pub licity matter, transferred to storage or placed where they can be of material benefit to the Territory.
 MT. White was not ready to an nounce his future plans today. He said that he would leave early next week for Whitehorse to look after some business property there and would then return to Juneau.
