KETCH|KAN G. ]. p.
 ADOPTS PLATFORM - REGENT MEET ING

At meeting of the Ketchikan Rep ublican Club last week,a platform was adopted which is repubhshed, in part only, from the Chronicle.
 Two significant features are noted in the document: a total absence of commendation of the Coolidge Ad- ministration and a demand for tax ing of the paper and pulp industry as yet non-existent in the Territory.
 Another feature was an attack on the Federal judiciary in Alaska which concluded by demanding impeachment if resignations were not forthcoming
 Following the lead set by the Dem ocrats there and the Territorial Con- vention, held recently in Seward, the Ketchikan Republicans by inference denounced the White Fisheries Law and demanded Territorial control of fisheries "at the earliest possible moment"
 It's plank includes self government including a county government law, and statehood at the earliest possible moment, pledging support of the comp troller bill; declaration of inten- tion to tax the government timber contracts awarded to prospective pulp and paper manufacturing interests; denounced the discriminatory sec- tion" of the Merchant Marine Act of 1921; approved the extension of roads and trails to mining areas and demanding expenditure of funds on such projects through elective con- missioners; encouragement to fur farming; advocated repeal of restric- tions on shipments of trophies by res ident Alaskans; abolishment of the Alaska Game Commission; deplored abuses which have been practiced by the Alaska judiciary" calling on such judges" to resign, and, if they refuse to do so, that impeachment them and carried to termination; de- nounced "carpet-bagging" government endorsed a community property law; advocated discriminatory taxation

 OR HER CREW TO-DAY

MONTREAL, tkP) - snow. sleet and rain swirled over NewfOund- land today and composed storm barrier through which no news pen- etrs,tesi of the Bremen or her crew, or of the Canadian plane which went to the, relief of the Bremen. However, over the storm drifted report that one of the crew of the Bremen had left the island for the mainland, but there Is no confirma- tiOn possible, and it is generally believed that the avfators had little chance of reaching the mainland for the time being. The first de- tails Of the flight told of the crew of the Bremen ambling through the fog until they had almost given up hope of achieving their purpose. They then sighted land. They be- ieved it to be Newfoundland and as their fuel was almost gone they landed. Another plane left fo~ the island today with reporters and photographers.
