Alaskan Hopes Revived.
Seattle Times.)

(Seattle TimeS)
 Again there is promise of some relaxation of bureaucratic control Alaska The visit of the Congressional ub-committee on Appropriations to the Northland is for the purpose of formulating a plan for reducing to few possible the evils of long distance government. The chairman of the party of lawmakers, Representative L. J. Dickinson of Iowa, frankly admits that present policies in too many instances, reserve to chiefs in Washing ton the authority that could and should be exer- c1sed by subordinates in the Territory
 Numerous Bureaus administer public affairs in Alaska. Distant officials, however well-intentioned seldom understand Northern issues and often by the time knowledge of any situation is ascertained the belated remedy is devoid of efficacy. President Hoover has been in the Territory and is not un- familiar with the growth and the disadvantages of bureaucratic methods. His Administration is committed to government closer to the people Possibly his views will be reflected in the conduct Of some department officials but legislation by Con- gress is necessary to effect permanent improvement
 For several years each summer has witnessed of Cabinet officers Senator's Represen- tatives and Bureau heads to Alaska on official business, and nearly all have been voluble in con- demning the principle of distant control Yet every winter has recorded additional restrictions on home rule.
 Fortunately, the mission of Representative Dick inson and his associates gives stronger promise than usual of changes for the better

And two more banks to complete the head. The dispatch said:
 VICTORIA, Aug. 1.-Plans for road con- meeting the United States with Alaska, span ming British Columbia and bringing here a vast new flow of Americans on their way to their Northern possessions are under investigation by the Provincial Government
 First announcement of this project, one of the most important ever proposed in Can- ada, and entirely unique in joining two parts of a foreign country through the ter ritory of a neighbor, was made by Premier Tolme in an address at the Conservative Party picnic here on Wednesday evening.
 q have just returned from visit to Washington and Oregon for the purpose of inspecting their roads over there and the amount of tourist trade" he said. Need less to say, I was tremendously impressed with the development of the tourist traffic; the Pacific Highway extending from Tia Juana Mexico to the forty-ninth parallel, is proving to be tremendous asset to the Pacific Coast States
 T have been wondering how we could take advantage of this immense traffic to a greater extent in British Columbia, and l think the solution lies in the extension of our roads in the North through the most suitable valleys to the Alaska boundary. I am informed that Congress has granted to Alaska this year $6,000.000 [sicl for the de- velopment of a road program

Dr. Wilson on Dr. Thayer.
(NeW York World )

(NeW York World)
 Yesterday we speculated as to how Bshop Can- non or Dr. Clarence True Wilson of the Methodist Church Board of Temperance, &c, &c, would go about discrediting Dr. William s. Thayer Presi- dent of the American Medical Association Dr. Thayer had denounced prohibition as tyranny and considering the emnence of the speaker and the occasion the address called for some sort of reply from the blue bosses. We had no need to speculate By one of those supernatural coincidcnces which must give him assurance of his divine mission Dr. Clarence Wilson was in Portland Ore on the very day when pr. Thayer spoke. Being there Dr. Wilson spoke back promptly.
 Dr. Thayer he said is "unpatrotic" Our read- CTS can turn to Who's Who and find there the rec ord of the man whom this fanatical lobbyist has the impudence to call unpatriotic. Dr. Thayer was born ln Milton, Mass. in 1864: graduated from Harvard College and Harvard Medical School He IS professor emeritus of medicine at Johns Hopkins University During the he was Major and Deputy Commissioner of the American Red Cross mslon to Russia and then chief consultant with the rank of Brigadier General to the A. E. F. in France He is now Brigadier in the Officers Re- serve Corps He holds the Distinguished Service Medal of the United States Government It may De aoaeo that he is among the most eminent of American physicians and that his reputation is worldwide
 Dr. Wilson, however, has declared that he is not patriot He has declared also that Dr. Thayer was elected President of the American Medical As soclauon by wet crowd from Baltimore" who put over Dr. Thayer on "an unsuspectng body" who oio not Know there was liquor deal in all that propaganda" We'll, Dr. Wilson may not think much Of personal liberty, but when it comes to the exercise of personal license to defame the whole medical profession he has no inhbitions
 How long is the Methodist Church going to en- oufe as It's spokesman a barbarian like this man Wilson? For surely it is shocking thine that church should day n day out be disnlaved to t,a Ninth Commandment e' '''e

THE USEFUL HOBO.

In the minds of most persons, the terms hobo tramp and bum have practically the same meaning But this idea is wrong according to M Leinen agent for a large New York employment com pany, who declares that he has hired as many as 133000 Bowery hoboes for railroad work in a single year, and says they were "a fine bunch of men,"
 MT Leinen describes the difference between the three classes mentined somewhat as follows: A hobo is a travelling worker: tramp is a travelling non-worker; bum is stationary non-worker While the three nerminge in the large cities dur ing the winter, and the classes are not strictly defined, when the opportunity comes the hobo is willing to work while the others are not.
 Hoboes travel from place to place seeking sea- sonabe employment, such harvesting, railroad and other construction work, common laborers so they fill a real place in the country's economic system. While they not always examplary in morals and conduct, they honest and indus trious, as a rule

PARADE PICTURES
TO Be BROADCAST
Jenkins Company Plans to
Send Out Inaugural Fea-
ture in Half Hour.

Any one unable to come 10 Washington
for the Inauguration of Herbert Hoover,
but who possesses television receiving
set, will be able to see movies of the
parade within half an hour after it
passes the moving picture cameras, &C.
cording to the plans of the jenkins
Television c.. of Washington and New
Jersey.
Moving pictures will be taken of the
parade, the film rushed to the labora-
tory where it will be developed, and
run through the trans after of the
apparatus. the elapsed tsle being but
80 minutes. G. Francis Jenkins, noted
inventor, and head of the jenkins Tele-
continue from the time the parade
starts until 8 pm. Mr.. Jenkins said,
owing to the fact that many of the
televislon audience are employed dur
ing the daytime and will not be able
to look in" until after the parade is
over. For the benefit of these the
films will be rebroadcast in the evs4
ming. ~
Plans for 30-Minute Delay.
Those who are in position to sit
close to their scanning disks, however,
will see the parade whiting 80 minutes
after it has been glimpsed by the
crowds in Washington. 1t is pointed
out that pictures taken of the parade
when 1t leaves the Capitol will be avail
able to the television audience in
scattered parts of the cou1t.ry at about
the exact time that portion of it swings
around the Treasury Building on its
way past the White House.
The films will average 200 feet in
length and will be run through the
transmitter at the rate of about Is feet
per second. After each section of film
is transmitted an announcement will
be made as to the nature of the next
section to be shown, and another 200
feet Of film will be broadcast.
Rebroadcasting in Evening.
This will continue while the parade is
In progress and will then be rebroad-
cast in the evening. To overcome show
ing pictures of the parade in reverse
form, as would be the case in looking at
a Photographic film, the electrical
equipment of the television transmit
ter will be reversed, Mr.. jenkins said.
The transmission will be over two
short wave channels which were grant,
ed to the jenkins Co. last week by the
Federal Radio Commission. For local
used, and for distance the broadcasting
will be over band of approximately
5000 kilocycles. The bands will be 100
kilocycles in width, MIR. jenkins point
ing out this is necessary for the broad.
casting of movies. In the regular broad.
cast band with channel but 10 kilo-
cycles wide it is difficult to transmit
ANYTHING Of visual nature other than
still pictures.
The jenkins Co. has IN course Of con-
struction in Maryland Q 5000 kilowstt
will be completed In time to send out
the inaugural parade The transmitter
therefore will be located in Mr.. Jenkins
laboratory at 1919 Connecticut avenue.

WASHINGTCS Aug. 1, P)-By virtue of the farm relief act the producer of an agricultural com modity can get 20 percent more of the value of his crop when he turns it over to the cooperative thru which he sells
 Heretofore a cooperative has been able to borrow from federal intermediate banks only 50 to 65 percent of the value of the commo- dity it acquires. Thus a farmer selling wheat when the market was $1 bushel was paid 50 to 65 cents on the dollar.

SOVIET DECLINES
 OFFER IF FRANCE
 MEDIATE CONFLICT
SEIZURE CONSISTED OF DIS- MESSIAH OF RUSSIAN EM-
 PLOYEES

WASHINGTON, Aug, 1, P-The Soviet government has declined an offer by France to mediate in the Manchurian conflict, according to advices from Moscow. The an- nouncement was made thru the of flc1al Tass News Agency and the dispatch said the Soviet attitude is based on the refusal of the Chinese authorities to restore status on the Chinese Eastern Railway in Man churia as demanded in the recent Soviet note.
 In the meanwhile, Secretary of State Stimson was advised by Am baSsador Claudel of France that he had been informed that the Soviets would abide by the Kellogg pact for renunciation of war if possible. The Chinese minister also informed the state department that his govern ment intended to abide by the pact. The Chinese envoy told MT. Stim- son that the reported seizure of the Chinese Eastern Railway actually consisted of dismissal of the Rus sian employees.
