JOINT development PLAN s..
NOW PROPOSED FOR ARMY navy

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Adoption
of joint Army-Navy air service
development program to be complet-
ed in ten years is recommended in
the report of a special board of gen.
eral officers of the Army, has been
made public. Unless measures are
taken Immediately to provide for the
upbuilding of the air service and the
airplane industry, the report said,
the Army Air Service will have been
practically demoralized' and the
American aircraft industry virtually
disappear within few years.
The board recommended that the
Army Air Service program be framed
to provide for the expenditure of ap-
proximately $250,O00,000 during the
ten year development period at the
rate of $25,O0O 900 year.
Condition Is Alarming
OF that annual sum, the board
said, the next few years should see
$10,000.000 year devoted to oper-
ating expenses and $15,000.000 to
the purchase of new aircraft.
The board was appointed to make
survey of the air service situation
and was headed by Mai. Gen. Will
liam Lassiter. 1t found that an
alarming condition existed in the
Army service due to shortage of
flying personnel and equipment and
to the failure of the aircraft in
dustry to develop commercially. The
industry, the board said, was solely
dependent on government orders
which had been limited. due to lack
of appropriations and the fact that
airplanes manufactured during the
war were being used up.
The deterioration and loss of these
war-built planes has reached point
where the situation is critical" the
board said, and where there will
be available by July. 1926, less than
300 serviceable airplanes to meet a
requirement of over five times that
nnmber.''
Eighty per cent. of the existing
equipment of the Army Air Service
is composed largely OF obsolete train
ing types of planes unsuitable for
combat use" the report said.
Secretary Weeks has forwarded
the recommendation to the joint
Army-Navy Board for report to be
presented to Congress, having al
ready approved in principle the sug-
gestions of the special board.

CANNERYMEN PROTEST INCREASED TAX BE
 INJURIOUS
MANY CONCERNS WILL BE FORc- ED TO SUSPEND IN CASE
 BILL BECOMES LAW
(By Special Correspondent

JUNEAU, Apr. 2O.-The present Alaska mining compensation act 'is better, safer and sounder than any similar law in America"
 These words were spoken in an ad- dress by J. A. Hellenthal, a Juneau at torney, who said that the proposed state industrial insurance system covered by House Bill g would either lessen the benefits received by injur- ed wOrkmen or result in greatly in creased costs to all employers with out raising the compensation rates accordingly. MT. Hellenthal said the tremendous costs entailed in estab- fishing an administrative system to put the proposed state insurance sys- tenn on an operating basis, would not help the laborers or the employer.
 Conference committees appointed on the women's jury bill are still deadlocked without hope of settle ment
 The House accepted the Senate amendments on the Soldiers bonus memorial.
 Gamers are still protesting the adoption of the graduated pack tax, declaring that it might put them en- tirely out of business. The canners representatives said they had been losing money the last four years and were heavily indebted to the banks in the States. The cost of packing had increased twelve per cent over last year and the margin of profit would be so small that they might be forced to suspend business entirely by radically increased levies.

S250,000 FORGOTTEN
COUNTS IN CALIFORNIA BANKS

LOS ANGELES, Apr 19.-Approxi- mately $250,O00 has been deposited and forgotten by depositors of Los An geles banks, according to bank annual reports covering unclaimed deposits. There are about 24,OOO depositors who apparently have forgotten their sav- ings and these accounts average s1O each, although annual reports state at least one account exists that runs up into four figures.
 Banks, 1t is said, consider an ac- count active during the first ten years. After that an effort is made U reach the depositor, and if the ac- count remains idle another ten years the money reverts to the state.
 Bank recods show that when a large sum is left neglected it is usually be- cause the depositor is dead and the heirs are unaware of the existence of the account. Smaller accounts, bank CTS state accumulate through negli- gence of the depositors.
 Women, according to bankers, often have accounts in their maiden names and after they are married not only forget the account but fail to recog- nize their maiden names when the ac- counts are advertised after ten years elapse. The advertisement of dor mant accounts, bankers state, is the signal for grand rush of unscrupu- lous men and women to put in fraud ulent claims for the forgotten cash. They do not always apply to the bank CTS themselves but seek the owners and state that they know where they can get sum of money and demand an enormous percentage of the re- turns. Despite bank warnings in re- gard to this practice bankers assert the trickery brings large returns to the schemers.

SEAL PROTECTION
 IS INCREASING HERDS

VANCOUVER, Apr. 19.-A conserv- ative estimate places the number of fur seals in the North Pacific at about 6OO,0OO as compared with only 19S,- 900 when the government adopted pro tective measures in 1911 an dthe h. dians predict a good hunting season. The original body before white men depleted it, has been estimated at five million animals.
 About the time that the spring sal mon are at the height of their runs on the west coast of Vancouver island, and the fur seals of the Pacific swim northward along the shore bound for the rookeries on the Aleutian and the Pribilof islands. The west coast In- dians thereupon quit salmon fishing to seek the valuable pelt bearers.
 No white man may catch the seals, but the Dominion government when agreeing to stop seal hunting, insisted that the coast Indians who had made a part of their living from these crea- lures for generations should continue to have the right to seal during the spring migra ton of the herds. ne red men must, however, continue to use the primitive spears and methods of their forefatners. No guns may be employed.
 Even under these restrictions the west coast Indians collect usually about $30,0uO from the creatures. Last season was a bad one, as the seals passed north far at sea, owing to the heavy storms
