WASHINGTON, May 4-Isolated from the world during most of the year, teachers in the remote gov ernment schools in Alaska will be kept in touch with outside ac- tiyities through special radio pro grams.
 The Federal Bureau of Educa- ton has inaugurated a series of weekly educational programs which reach 250 teachers, docsors and nurses in the 90 government schools and hospitals in Alaska. Jonathan II. Wagner, chief of the Alaska division of the bureau, ar ranges the programs which are broadcast by Station KOMO of Seattle.
 For many settlements, the an nual visit of the bureaus ship, the Boxer, has provided the only means of communication with the rest of the world.
 "To none of tho over whom floats the flag of the United States has radio been greater boon than 10 the dwellers in Alaska" " Dr J. J. Tigert, commissioner of education, says.
 "Ia former days the Bureau of Edacation's teachers passed weary months in complete exile with no means of communication with the anxious watchers at home and with no knowledge of what was happening in the great world. Now the radio brings into instan- taneous touch with the outside, our teachers in the villages along the great rivers, beside the fog ridden waters of the Boring Sea, on the wide tundras of the north and beside the Arctic floes."
 A 15 minute program is broad cast every Friday evening at Ii o'clock, Pacific time.

EMPHASIZES HiGHER;
 BLAME WORLD WAR

BERLIN, May A modern naval cruiser costs about three times as much to build as before the war, Capt. Ga dow, naval expert, told the budget committee of the Ger man reichstag.
 In Germany and the United States, he said, 10,000ton cruiser costs about $17, ,000 but in other countries war ships can be built at $250 to $375 a ton less.
 The tripling of cost for ar mament since the war holds for the army as well as for the navy, but the increased cost of cruisers has been ac- companied by a threefold in crease in fighting capacity and a considerable gain in speed and firing range.

THE GORILLA HUNT"
 SHOWING, COLISEUM

"The Gorilla Hunt" Ben Bur bridges excellent picture of the Belgian Congo, and the mighty gorillas that tlwell in it's remotest parts, was shown last night at the Coliseum Theatre, where it thrilled a large audience. The action opens in the river port at the mouth of the Congo, and the first thousand miles of the jour rley are made on a small steamer between banks lined with the pri- meval forests.
 In the river mighty herds of hippopotami lie on the muddy bars, alligators, like pointed logs, watch and wait in the shadows. Strange snakes, some of them with death in the slightest scratch of their fangs, sun themselves on the banks, or swing like living pendulums from the trees. When the expedition reached Stanley. vile it had to start trek of over two thousand miles, through the country of peoples that are un- known and to be feared. At the

ATHEIST FINED
And SENTENCED
Convicted on Charge Of NiOlat-
ing Old English Law on
Blasphemy

Little Rock, Ark. Nov. 15.-P)-
The maximum sentencc-a fine of
500 and 80 days on the county farm
was given Charles Smith, presi-
dent of the American Association for
the Advancement of Atheism, when
he was convicted in municipal court
today on a charge Of violating an
old English law against blasphemy.
Smith appealed, and was released
under $1,000 bond.
Under a law which he protested
recently by an l8-day hunger strike
while serving out fine in the city
Jail, Smith again was denied the
right to testify in court.
The blasphemy charge was based
on atheist literature which A. B.
Cypert, prosecuting attorney. said
was blasphemous and held the Chris
tian religion up to ridiculc.
Smith was arrested late yesterday
as he prepared to reopen his Main
street atheist headquarters. which
had been closed last week after a
police raid. He came to Arkansas
to fight the anti-evolution law
adopted at the November election.

planning that it was not the custom

The objection of Frank J. Hogan,
defense counsel, against admission
Of the April testimony was overruled

the position that the April meeting
was q continuance Of those of Feb

swear Stewart a second time.
With this, the government ex-
