ton for Trial.
Nv N, Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June l9,--Attorneys for
the Bank of France have filed amended
complaints In the suit brought against
two New York banks seeking recovery
of ss.o00 900 in sold shipped to the
banks in February by the Soviet State
Bank and reshipped in April to Ger
many.
The original complaints charged that
the gold was that which the Bank of
ss>.raa:1.Se purchased in Russia between
1915 and 1917. and intrusted to the
State Bank OF the Russian Empire for
safekeeping as a part of the French
banks gold reserve. The amended
complaints assert that the gold is the
property Of the Bank of France,
whether or not the said gold is the
identical gold which was held by the
State Bank Of the Russian Empire"
1t is further set forth that the "only
important question to be tried out" is
the validity of the confiscation by the
Soviet of Bank OF France gold. which
1t is said the defendant banks claim.

LOOKS UP0N !L|AMNA ROAD PROJECT N|TV
 FAVOR SAYS ELLIOTT

Prior to leaving Alaska last week for Washington, D. c. Major Malcolm Elliott, president of the Alaska Road Commission, an- nounced plans and his views on new projects in the Territory for next year. Of Southwestern Alas ka he said, according to the Elm pire:
 In the Southwestern section of Alaska, serious consideration has been given to a road from Iliamna Bay to Lake Iliamna. It is needed for the development of mineral lzed areas around the north shore of Lake Iliamna and in the Lake Clarke region. The proposed road would shorten the present line of supply from Seward by 1000 miles and the Commissions atti- tude toward construction is fav- orable whenever sufficient funds are available
 A reasonable extension of the Kodiak Island road system seems to be justified It is needed to serve the activities of the Depart ment of Agriculture and various farming interests located there.
