SPURNS FAME

At Carnegie hall last night, IL
year-old Yehudi Menuhin was a

the concert was all Yehudi.

YehudiS renditionS amazed many

It didn't matter to Yehudi what

FIGHT AGAINST
NAVY BILL IS
TO CONTINUE
Fate of Kellogg Pact Not to-
End Fight for New
Cruisers.
BY KENNETH G. CRAWFORD
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28-OppoSi-
ton to the navy cruiser construc-
ton bill, now the unfinished bust
ness in the senate, will continue,
regardless of the success or failure
of the Kellogg peace treaty, it was
learned here today.
So far, opponents of the bill call
ing for construction of fifteen cruis-
ers and an airplane carrier have
confined themselves to a fight for
action on the treaty ahead of the
so-called big navy measure. Now
they are preparing to carry on their
battle even if the peace pact is rati-
fed before the debate on the bill
closes.
Prepare to Fight Bill
Senator Norris CRep., Neb), and
other western independents, joined
by a few Democrats, are prepared to
fight the cruiser bill to the last.
So far as can be learned, how
ever, none of them is planning to
resort to a filibuster, and unless
they can gain more recruits can not
stop its passage by other means.
There is a possibility, however,
that they will succeed in reduc-
ing the number of ships authorized
by the bill as it passed the house
at its last session. Many senators
who do not oppose the naval con-
Struction program would vote for
modification.
King Joins With Norris
Senator King (Dem) Utah, who
has joined Norris, in the fight for
treaty priority, will introduce an
amendment calling for construction
of only five cruisers. He also will
seek to eliminate the provision call
ing for completion of the fifteen
cruiser program in three years.
President Coolidge in his message
to congress suggested this elimina-
ton of the time-clause.
Big navy advocates contend re-
moval of the time limit would create
only paper navy and proponents
of the bill profess to have enough
strength to retain this provision
despite Coolidge's opposition.

A PROCLAMATION.

Territory of Alaska+-Office of the Governor, Juneau
 r. Alaska is vitally interested Iii the utilization of it's forest and grazing lands. The future prosperity of our Territory depends in a large degree on our ability to derive the maximum yield from these resources in a man ner which will not deplete nor de stroy them. Our vast forests and large areas of grazing lands are al- most untouched at present, and there is yet time for us to adopt adequate measures for their protection
 Our problem is not difficult because we have the benefit of the experience gained by other States and Terri tories which have been confronted with similar conditions. It has been demonstrated thst forest lands may be made to, yield . continuous supply of timber in the same way. that our farms. produce crops of wheat or other staples, and this can be done with less effort th2n. is required in the cultivation of agricultural lands. b.
