F. G. Betts, cadastral engineer or the U. S. Public Survey, returned to Juneau on the gasboat Dorthea, at 8.30 o'clock Saturday night, af- ter an absence of three months in which he was engaged in surveying the toWnsite of Klawak on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island. The. following members of Bets survey party returned with him: l.. A. Dauphiny, Leonard Berlin, H. R. Sarber and M. A. Sarber
 Klawak is one of the oldest set dement's on Prince of Wales 1s- land, according to MT. Betts. Some time ago the citizens of Klawak pe- titioned for a survey of their town and asked that it be made city of the first class.
 The survey work began October g and was completed few days ago. Sixty-ohe blocks were laid out in a standard survey and in clude the following municipal insti- tutions: Hospital, high school, grade school, city hall, fire hall and jail.
 Klawak has a population of about 800, principally Indians, and every thing is on modern scale. The town is supplied with power and light from hydro-electric plant and maintains ;our miles of water mains. It was eliminated from the Tongass National Forest in 1928. Frank Peratovich is the Mayor.

in 1925 she arranged similar back stopping credit of $300,000,000. or six times as large as that which Japan considered necessary.
 The United States removed its gold embargo in 1919. At that time Japan was in an advantageous po- sition had she chosen to restore her currency to a gold basis, some in- sernational economic authorities say
 She had gold stocks of approxi- mately $1,000, 100000, almost half of which were held abroad. Two years later, in 1921, the total had risen slightly and half of it still remained abroad.
 From that time forward, how ever Japan's gold holdings in for eign centers melted rapidly until last March they amounted to only S45,000000 Meanwhile. with ris- ing total of unfavorable yearly trade balances, the Tokyo govern ment waited for favorable oppor- tunity to remove the troublesome gold embargo.
 The fact Japan was not willing longer to postpone such action rested on a number of factors. In 1881, for instance there falls due a sterling loan of which more than $100.000, 900 is still outstanding.
 With her currency on a gold basis she would be able to refund this obligation on more favorable terms

COAST GUARD
 IS GOING TO
 BE INCREASED
Appropriation Is Submit ted to Congress Pro-
 vides Greater Activity

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Pro- visions are made for larger and more powerful Coast Guard to car ry on it's anti-smuggling activities and rescue work at sea in the an- nual Treasury and Post Office sup ply bill submitted to the House by the House Appropriations Com mittee.
 The measure appropriates $32,- 152,000 for the Coast Guard, an increase of $2,123,0O0 over the cur rent year
 Sixteen million of this amount is set aside for anti-smuggling work and combating activities of rum runners.
 The building program calls for an outlay of $3,550,00o and pro- vides for the completion of new cutter, commencing another one, taking over 12 destroyers from the Navy and construction of five pa trol and 10 picket boats.

DEVICE SPEEDS
 U. s. AIR MAIL

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-;.n air mail pickup device capable of receiving and discharging mail sacks while an airplane is in full flight may cut existing air mail schedules fifteen minutes to an hour, accord ing to the American Air Transport Association, which says tests of the device already made promise it's future adoption on many of the country's twenty four air m a i routes.
 The tests being made at Youngs- town, Ohio, have proved the feasi- bility of catching a small bag of mail as it swings on the end of a 75-foot cable attached to a plane in full flight
 The device consists of V-shaped trap built in the ground. AS the mail bag from the plane is caught in the trap the device automatical- | ly attaches another bag which is hauled up into the plane.
 Similar tests are being carried out in the receiving and discharg- ing of mail at sea on the S. s. I,eviathan.
 The theory which postal officials, air mail operators and the inventor are working on is that an air mail plane can leave an airport, swoop down on the pickup device, haul the mail to similar device near the post office in the city at the other end of the line and then go on to that citys airport.

SPAIN ERECTING ENTIRE CITY FOR
 BIG UNIVERSITY

MADRID. Jan. 13-Spain's Uni versity City, destined to be the cultural center of the Spanish speaking world, is on the road tc realization.
 The idea back of the University City is relatively new. It was orig niated by his majesty, King AL fonso XIII, and he brought the matter to public attention in 1927 when he declined all the festivities being arranged to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of his reign, which was being celebrated that year and told the people that nothing would please him more than for the country to support the movement for the construction of a new university in Madrid.
 Warmly Received
 The Kings suggestion was warm ly received and not only is all of Spain interested in the work, but other nations, particularly in the Americas, are taking a part in it's erection
 Dr. Don Florestan Aguillar, Wis count de Casa Aguilar, who is the head of the Chronological School and secretary of the Building Com- mission of the University City, de- scribed the entire work, taking sev- eral hours to go over the grounds and inspect the architects and en- gineer's plans, drawings and models.
 "The University City is not na- tional in scope, but international, Dr. Aguilar said Tt will be even- tually the center of higher learn ing for all of the Spanish speaking countries of the world and more than that-it will be a great cen ter for students of other nations Many students will come from the United States, not only to study the Spanish language, but to study the antecedents of their own coun- try"
 1000 Men Working
 Two thousand men are at work on the campus, excavating, construct ing roads, and erecting various buildings. There is nothing that can obstruct the work, now that it , has started said Dr. Aguilar. He explained that in spite of the vast ness of the project, which calls for an expenditure of 36O,0O0OO0 peso tas, (about $53,0OO,OOO) the build ing fund has on hand about 20O,- OO0,000 pesetas, part of this being l obtained as loans from the Bank of Spain to be repaid through the | annual lottery for the benefit oi the university, which produces abou' 12,OO0,00O pesetas.

THREAT IS NO Joke
TO NE|DOMANSK|
Man FIeeS Home After Box
With Dime and Stone
Is Left Him.

Police claim it was just a practical
joke, but it has proved anything but
funny TO Hugh Neidomanski, and today
he was reported gone" for an indefinite
stay, while detectives investigate fur
ther the mysterious little box containing
a dime and pebble, found at Mr..
Neidomanski's place of residence yes
terday.
The box and its contents are said to
resemble gangland's customary threat
OF death. Mr.. Neidomanski did not pay
much attention to the find until he re-
midnight, warning him that death i'm
ponds unless he leaves town by 6
o'clock tonight.
The box was found on the front
steps of the house at 4911 Kansas ave-
nue. by occupants of the residence,
where Neidomanski has room. They
called police, and turned over a small
box. about the size of a match box, in
which were dime and a small pebble
wrapped in paper.
It wasn't until the midnight phone
call that it was agreed the box was
intended for Neidomanski. Police to-
day refused to take the box or the
phone call seriously, convinced that the
whole mysterious business was a hoax.
Neidomanski told police of the
thirteenth precinct when he learned
of the call he telephoned a girl ac-
quaintance to ask If she by any chance
knew the man who made the call,
but that the young woman hung up on
him. The officers learned from Neido-
manski that he suspects the messages
were prompted by jealousy over a
mutual girl friend.
Detective John Wise of police head
quarters and Policemen T. G. Bragg
and j. E. O'Neil of the thirteenth pre-
ctnct were assigned to the investigation.
