HOOVER TO SEND
MOORE TO POLAND
Official Circles Confirm Re-
port He Is to Be Appointed
Ambassador.

It was confirmed in official sources
yesterday that Alexander P. Moore of
Pennsylvania, who is now Ambassador
to Peru. is to be appointed bv President
Hoover to be Ambassador to Poland
when the latter post is to be elevated
from a legation to an embassy, as has
been recommended by the President.
The Polish government has been
asked If the appointment of Ambassador
Moore would be acceptable to that gov
eminent, which incident is responsible
for the report concerning Mr.. Moore's
transfer from South America to Con-
t;nental Europe.
No official confirmation has been
given as yet by the White House, but
the impression is that President Hoover
had the Ambassadors transfer in mind
at the time he asked Congress in his
annual message to raise the American
legation in Poland to an embassy.
John B. Stetson of Pennsylvania, the
present Minister to Poland, has let it
be known ti;ct he will resign shortly.
NEW YORK, December ID Dr.

Peru, today said "it is news to me-"

name had been submitted to the War

land He was indisposed today. He
returned to the United States from
his Peruvian post some time ago on
account of his health.

RADIO SUPERVISION
PLAN IS PROPOSED
Harbord Wants International
Communications Governed
by Agreements.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Supervision of international commu-
nications by international conventions
or arrangements, with the United States
participating, was proposed yesterday by
Mai Gen. James G.. Hartford. president
of the Radio Corporation of America.
Continuing his testimony before the
Senate interstate commerce committee
on the Couzens bill to create Federal
commission to regulate all forms OF
communication, Harbord said in the
absence of international conventions the
field should be governed by agreements
between operating agencies subject to
approval Of such regulating authority
as may be created by law
The witness said he was in accord
with owen D. Young, chairman of the
board, and David Sarnoff, executive
vice president of r. G. A., that there
should be such modification of existing
law as would permit unification of
communication facilities under Govern
ment regulation.
Difficulty Pointed Out.
I'VE may differ as citizens as to the
character of the Government agency
which should be constituted to exer-
else the CONTROL" he asserted, "but that
there should be such an instrumental
ty we are in complete agreement"
The former chief of staff of the
A. E. F. testified it was quite apparent
that the difficulty of regulation in the
international field is due to the fact
that various sovereign States may be
involved
This pointed Enthusiastically, he added
to negotiations as the only method by
which rates and other items could be
fixed, where the ends of either radio
or cable circuits are owned in different
countries"

Answering questions by Chairman
Couzens, Harbord said If limit for an

munications properties were placed in
a new law, he would favor a return in
the neighborhood of 8 per cent.
Couzens observed that some rule
should be laid down in evaluating the
companies similar to the method fol-
lowed by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in fixing valuations for rail-
roads.
Hartford said he accepted the views
of Mr. Young on the question of an

TWENTY-ONE
 YEARS AGO

Fred AmunuSen naS gone over lo work for Capt. l. M. Hofstad.
 The free night school at St. Phil ip's church has fairly good attend ance.
 Mrs. W. D. Grant has been indis- posed for the past several days.
 Messrs. Johansen, SYindseth, Nor ton and Smith returned Monday from a several days hunt. They got bear.
 Adjt. Robert Smith who has been at Douglas, and Capt. Gardner ot Killisnoo came down on the Cottage City
 Marcus Wigg and family have re- turned to Wrangell after an absence of more than two years.
 Sam Cunningham and Peter Jen sen went duck hunting Saturday, re- turning Monday at noon.
 F. H. Gray has been feasting on raspberries, fresh from the vines, the past week. This makes three months that the same vines have given of their fruit this year.
 A. T. Bennett and wife came down from Petersburg on the last trip ot the Cottage City and stopped ill town a day or two before taking their departure south for the win ter.
 The planking of Front Street from w. c. Waters store to Tom Tama- rees residence is going on under the very able supervision of E. Lu- decke.
 Ed H. Lyons, Frank Waterbury and Charley Olsen returned Satur- day from a hunting expedition to Duncan Canal. They got five deer, one bear and all the geese and ducks they could eat.
 Marion Gano has the thanks of the Sentinel people for a generous piece of fine venison which he killed at Totem Bay. The party, consist ing of Messrs. Gano, Locker and Dannenberg, killed a dozen nice deer.
 Mrs. w. G. Thomas took passage on the Cottage City for the home of her childhood in Virginia. This be- ing her first visit to that section for a number of years, she will probably extend the trip until next spring be- fore returning to Wrangell.
 Charley Merrill returned on the last Cottage City from Juneau where, the Daily Dispatch says, he filed articles of incorporation of the WrangeIl Shingle Company. The capital stock of the corporation is fixed at $30,O00 and is divided into 5000 shares of the value of $5 each. C. L. Merrill, A. F. Camper and J. w. Gano are the incorporators.
 From The Juneau Dispatch: "GoY. Hoggatt will, in his annual report to the President, strongly advise making it felony to give liquor to 1uulduS. I1G W III lOllOW lulS up Uy q personal effort to have the recom- mendation enacted into law at the next session of congress. Governor Hoggatt will have the active sup port of every well meaning citizen of Alaska in securing this change in the code of Alaska. If ever there was a curse-ridden country over proposition it is this territory and the bootlegger. This specimen of depraved humanity is fast ruining the Alaskan Indian to the detriment of every citizen in it. The present law limiting the sentence for the offense to six months in the federal jail in no wise puts terror in the many rum-soaked outcasts who make a practice of the Indian liquor traf- fife. They have in the past carried on the selling of liquor to Indians on a gigantic scale. A few convic tions for felony would soon clear out the professional hootch peddler and put a stop to the demoralizing Oractice !" Good for HOggatti

signs in Chinese characters for posting
about the quarters where Americans
lived, requesting the warning factions to
march around those areas.
In June, 1928, the actual takeover Of
the area by the victorious Southern
forces took place, almost on schedule.
There was considerable excitement for
about 10 days, but the Chinese passed

AS the armies came up from the South
we met its generals, in accordance with
our plans to avoid trouble, and ex-
planned to them that there were areas
in Tientsin where Americans were liv-
ing.
"You fight your fight on the outside
of these areas" we told them, land
don't come in. If you come in, we are
bound to FIRE on you, and we don't want
to do that. If we get into a row, you
will get hurt and your government will
never get recognition. You are only

we will help you get recognition"

10 miles OF the foreign concessions and
settlements in Tientsin, but they gave
us wide berth.
During these troublesome days OF the
turnover, when our nationals, in COM
mon with all foreigners in the area,
were nervous and apprehensive, the
value of the Marines aircraft squadron
under the able command of Lieut.. Col.
Thomas G. Turner, was shown on many
occasions. This was an excellent unit,
and the only foreign air squadron in
Tientsin, and 1t was functioning so well
that even in Midwinter, with low tenn
peratures, common in Northern China,
the entire flying command was able to
take to the air in less than half an
hour after a call.
During the turnover period Of 10 days
the men kept to the air at all times,
putting in a total of 1000 flying hours
from daylight to dark. BY their excel
lent reconnaissance we were kept fully
