BIG BUSINESS
WHEELS TO PUT
/ over AL OILED
RaSkob Moves Campaign
/ Headquarters TO Office
/ of General Motors.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, July 19.--John j..
Raskob, who is credited with max
ing millionaires out of eighty exec
utives Of the General Motors Corpo-
ration, hopes to use the same
methods to make a President out
of Governor Alfred E. Smith.
Raskob admits that he knows
very little about politics. Sut he
knows a lot about big business and
ge is confident that he will be sue
cessful if he runs the Democratic
presidential campaign the same way
he does his automobile BUSH less.
To get the proper atmosphere,
the chairman of the Democratic
national committee is moving the
whole machinery of the campaign,
including the few necessary poll
ticians, into the large General
Motors building at Fifty-Seventh
and Broadway. He will clear the
whole eighth floor and establish his
headquarters there. A corps OF
carpenters began to tear away par
titions today.
Likes His New Job
+ There, in surroundings familiar to
kir1, he will operate this new bust
mess. If he gets tired of talking to
politicians and looking at them, he
can take the elevator to his own
Office, on the twenty-fourth floor,
call in his business aides, talk shop
with them, and thus get some re-
creation.
Raskob appears to like his new
dob. It's a strange one to him yet.
But he is taking hold Of it as II
it were just another business VEN
ture. He learned Wednesday thai
political conferences can be just as
dong as business conferences-per-
haps longer. Yet he was placid and
calm when he came out of a four
hour powwow, and announced pa
tiently that there were many prob
lems not entirely solved. He was
coatless, but philosophical.
Newspaper reporters fired ques-
lions at him.
I'm new at this business, you
know" he would explain with a
smile, when he was unable to an
swer.
Carefully Directed Energy
Short, stocky, Unconditional, Raskob
possesses the energy of his Alsatian
forebears, a well-controlled and
carefully directed energy. He is
frank, naturally, but is finding out
that newspaper reporters will ask
questions that can not always be
answered when it comes to politics.
He answers all that he can, ex-
pediently.
A cablegram came from Bernard
Baruch, now in Paris, offering his
services. Mrs. Henry Moskowitz,
publicity director, reminded him
during the newspaper interview that
the reporters might like to have it.
Raskob said he didn't know that
Baruch was a former supporter of
William G.. McAdoo, rival of Gov
ernor Alfred E. Smith, in 1924. He
is new in this business. But he will
learn. He said so himself.

DATES MEETING
 ALASKA CAME
 BOARD CHANGED
Next Session Be November 1 This Year-Makes
 Recommendations

A change in the date of holding the annual session of the Alaska Game Commission to the fall of the year in place of early spring as heretofore, has been made by the Commission, it was announced today.
 The next annual meeting of the body will be November 1, of the present year.
 This change, it is explained, has been made in order to expedite the matter of publicity of game regulations to the people of the territory earlier than has been possible in the past. By previous arrangement necessarily follow ing after the sessions of the Com mission in February the new game regulations do not leave the printers until the latter part of March or first of April and do not reach interested parties in northern Alaska until June, giv- ing little time for conformation to regulations which are effective July 1 of each year.
 Recommendations
 Two recommendation were passed upon this morning by the Commission.
 The first is an adjustment in the open season on muskrats, lynx, mink. land otter and weasel in District No 3, the Kotzebuc Sound country. The adjustment would extend the closing date
The Daily Alaska empire., 1928-02-10

several days to allow taking the animals after the ice break up. which it is said occurs at about the same date as the present date of closing the season. The date for opening the season would be advanced so as to make the time of the season the same as st present. The dates now in ef- feet are from April 1 to May 31.
 In the second recommendation the Commission has gone on re- cord in framing resolution 10 the Bureau of Biological Survey that museum collecting permits in the territory be not issued without being first approved by the Commission.
