AIR DEFENSE PLAN EMBRACES SEWARD WESTWARD REGION
ENTIRE COASTLINE OF ALASKA WILL BE MAPPED FROM
 THE AIR
IN KODIAK NEXT SUMMER
Present Entries Seward No doubt
 Connect with Work

At the first opening of summer, 1927, all terrain, both insular and territorial, in the region of Kodiak, will be mapped and photographed from the air covering a radius from Kodiak extending southward to Sitka and northward to the Aleutian Isl ands. With the coming of spring, 1928, will be extended and completed throughout this district, Seward in- cluded.
 Further expeditionary work will then be assigned through the cooper ation of the Departments of the h. terior and of Navy, until all Alaska is explored in this manner.
 This represents, undoubtedly, one of the supreme efforts of aviation in the economic field, and is a fit ting example, it is stated, of the peace time value of aircraft, especi- ally such aircraft as that under mil itary discipline and handling.
 While the fury and melee of pol itical strife within and without the Air Service has been before the pub lie mind, the Departmentsl of the Interior and of the Navy have been quietly perfecting plans for the eff ective consolidation of Alaska in peace and war strength of the nation.
 Tentative aerial mapping began along the Alaskan Coast two years ago by Naval aerial expedition, un- der Rear Admiral Jehu Chase, has resulted in the promu1gation of an order by the Navy Department, at the request of the Department of the Interior, for the formatiiona of General Alaskan flight expedition which started January 1, 1926, under Lieutenant B.

 PURPLE BUNK
Passing the Buck To City

WASHINGTON, D.

WASHINGTON, D. c. Mar. 19. (AP).-Chas. H, Miller, former assistant dis trict attorney of the First Division described the fric- tion which existed between himself and his superior in office, District Attorney Ar thur c. Shoup. At the re- quest of Delegate Suther- land he "described what hap pened in the segregated dis trict at Ketchikan, which district had been abated and closed during the visit of President Harding."
 Miller expressed the opin- ion there is "an abundance of officers to enforce the law in Alaska, if only they did their duty. The attempts to pass the buck to the City au- thorities was only used as a subterfuge to evade their duties"
 ,Judge Thomas M Reed of the First division said it had been exceedingly difficult in obtaining new men to serve the United States "who were in sympathy with prohibit tion enforcement"
 Several telegrans were read into the record from Alaska to the effect that ''Ketchikan is as wide open as ever."
 Miller said while he re- mained in office, ''none of the women returned to their houses or even after the abatement proceedings had lapsed, but as soon as 1 left to go to Washington, they started back and formed res idences."
 Miller testified that one woman told him that Unit ed States Marshal George D. Beaumont informed her "Miller had been fired and that a new man was coming which would make things better"

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 19.

Borah was offered the vice presiden-
cy at Cleveland in 1924 on behalf Of
President Coolidge. but he refused to
play second fiddle.
Borah is considering an invitation
to speak in pittsburgh this month in
behalf of Senator George Wharton
Pepper, a candidate for reelection,
who originally opposed the World
Court, but later needed White House
pressure and got behind the Presi-
dent. In this instance Borah's help
has been sought by Pennsylvanians
like Secretary Mellon and Senator
Reed, who are prominent in the
Administration, AMI who are prom
inent in the affairs of the Ct. O. p.
Pennsylvania not only contributes
hugs sums to the campaign chests,
but it furnishes seventy-six dele
gates to the national convention.
Borah's activities may force Presi-
dent Coolidge to depart from his
hands-off policy. President Coolidge
much to the irritation of Republican
Senators, refused to help Senator
Mckinley in Illinois, and he hasn't
helped Senator Pepper in Pennsyl-
vania. although Peppers candidacy
appears TO be in bad way"
If Coolidge fails to help Pepper
and Borah decides to go to his res.
cue, there probably will be echoes of
the incident at the next G.. o. p.
convention.
