ASK GOVERNOR FOR DEL ECATE
 ON COMMITTEE
arks Asked to Appoint Alaska Delegate to Pan
 American Mission

Desiring Alaska to be represent ed on the Commercial Mission to Central America, Gov. George A. Parks has been requested by the Pan American Commercial Congress to appoint a delegate to that body, it was announced today. He has the matter under consideration, and if Alaskan commercial or indus trial interests are attracted, will make the appointment later.
 It is possible, said Gov. Parks that the Central American Mis- sion might offer an opportunity to open up new markets for the pro- ducts of Alaska's biggest industry it's fisheries. If so, it would be to the interest of the Territory as well as to the industries them selves to be represented on it.
 The Mission has for it's purpose the development of direct contacts of trade with the five republics oi Central America, together with a further augumenting of trade rela- tions between the United States and Cuba and Panama. It will sail from New York on May IS, for visits in Cuba, Panama, Costa Ri ca. Nicaragua, Honduras, Salvador and Guatemala, returning to New York on July 16, the entire period covering 60 days. Delegates to the mission are required to defra, their own expenses.

P resident Coolidge and Wife Not to Return

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Presi- dent Coolidge is preparing to with draw from the Inauguration Day celebration as quickly as possible after Herbert Hoover has been in- troduced into office.
 With Mrs. Coolidge, the President plans to go directly from the inauguration ceremonies to the Union Station and there board a train for Northampton, Mass. their old home.
 It has been customary, although the tradition has not been of suf- ficient force to give it the nature of precedent, for the retiring President to accompany the new Chief Executive to the White House for luncheon immediately after the ceremonies at the Capital. This practice has been broken in two recent instances, by Roosevelt and Wilson, and Coolidge feels these justify him not returning to the executive mansion.
