Congressional candidate JOnn ; Rustgard is sorely pressed as he ! prances around the First Divi- ! sion on his campaigning tour. ! And he certainly is losing his head in making personal attacks on those who oppose his candi- dacy, while failing to tell the voters just why they should send him to Washington. And seem ingly truth is not even 3 mild consideration when the valiant warrior slings his poisOnedt arr rows so recklessly about. The
 campaign of Honest John" has
 degenerated into the firing of a
 volley of malicious lies" M
 And the general public ex-
 presses surprise that this should
 be true. But that is because
 they never knew the manner of
 man the insatiate seeker of high
 CT salary really is. Always will
 ing to be 9 deserter from his
 elective post, John Rustgard has
 become imbued with the belief
 that the Territory or government
 owes him a living and at no
 paltry stipend of $5,OOO per year
 In his own Kingly estimation
 John feels that he should be
 drawing down at least $15,000
 per year altho ,O0O would be nearer his estimate because
 he deigns to dwell among the
 Alaskan people.
 I Until Senator: Steel began to tell the voters thru the columns of The ALASKAN, the type of f man John Rustgard really is,
 he was generally accepted at his i face value. But even some of us, who so often smiled at the bum
 combe that was within the man, failed to realize his absolute in sincerity, and shall we say, per- lfidy. And even to admit it is not pleasant. But now there can be Inc question about it, for John is
 advertising himself in his true l light. And his malignant shafts
 are directed particularly against
 his former associates, men who
 for years past, tried to. overlook his weaknesses and to find in him something to commend while apologizing for his innate Iself1shness.
 Tn his vituperative utterances at Ketchikan and Petersburg, John Rustgard paid particular attention to candidates Wicker" sham, Paul and Steel, and incl ldentally to all those who are running on the same ticket with \ them. These three men have been in public office but John cites no one act to show that any one of them has been dere- lict in his public duty. They have battled for the interests of the people of Alaska, and all have heretofore received the lplaudits and encouragement of
 such great CD men as John Rustgard. Possibly the dis Igruntled John is now more en- bittered against Senator Steel than any of the other candi- dates. And because he has told truths that John has not even attempted to deny.
 But the following quotations from his Ketchikan speech gives an indication of how the willy At , Itorney General retaliates:
 Fl But let me ask you this ques- Y tion, would Will Steel be entitl. l ed to a license as resident fish. erman? He spends two months in the Territory during the legis- l lative sessions, then goes south and stays away until next ses- sion two years later. He has not spent over seven months ir A 1a cIyo rJ,.r;yor kL1o To c+ esxy xyr,~ ss~ ,

TAX DELINQUENCY
CUTS SCHOOL TERM
Prince William Christmas Holidays
Htenaed Because Of Lack
Of Funds.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MANASSAS, Va, December 25.-The
schools of Prince William County closed
Tuesday for the Christmas holidays
and with the closing came the an
nouncement that the midyear vacation
would be extended five days to jan
uary IL.
The curtailment of the next term
frcm 5 to 10 days was decided on by
I; = School Board after the treasurer
had reported that the payment OF
county taxes for the current year was
far behind the corresponding period
wear ago. Before making the an
nouncement r. c. Hayden, district SUI
perintendent of schools, consulted with
the State Board of Education and re-
ceived its approval of the plan. The
deduction in time is made at this time
so as to cause the least Inconvenience
to the teachers and minimum loss TO
the pupils.
Prince William County has been hard
hit by the drought and the collection
of taxes for all purposes Is falling be-
hind and in the case of moneys for the
schools is behind approximately $4,000
over the corresponding period last year.
It is believed that many of those IN
arrears will soon begin paying and II
delinquent taxes are collected in time
to be used in the fiscal year an adjust
ment will be made at the end of the
school session.
The State Board of Education has
given the Prince william authorities
assurance that the action taken will not
In any way affect the credit standing
of the high and elementary schools and
no further change in the calendar is
contemplated.

~ the Associated Press.
BUDAPEST, Rumania, December Is.
Pictures of general .discord in the
Rumanian royal household are drawn
in dispatches reaching here from
Bucharest.
King Alexander of Jugoslavia, a
brother-in law of Queen Helen, was to
visit King Carol this week, but it is
understood that Queen Marie wired him
not to come, fearing that Carols nerves
would not stand any further rubbing
on the subject of his estrangement from
Queen Helen.
One report here is that Carol asked
Helen. who has refused to become
reconciled with him, to leave the coun-
try. but that she demurred since
Michael, her son, would remain in Ru-
mania and she felt it her right to be
with him. Touched, Carol granted her
plea, only to plan a Christmas party
at Sinaia palace to which nearly every
body of Importance in Rumania, in
Guiding Michael, has been asked, except
Helen.
Queen Sophia of Greece asked per-
mission to visit Queen Helen, but it has
been refused it is said here, but her
brother, the former King George OF
Greece, will spend Christmas day with
her.

SUIT OVER RADIO NAME
SETTLED BY COMPROMISE
Use of ode Forest" in Manufac-
turs by Two Firms Was Cause
of Litigation.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, December 25.-A
compromise settlement of litigation over
the use of the name de Forest" in the
manufacture and sale of radios was APP
proved in Federal Court here Tuesday.
The action was brought by the De For
est Radio Co. of New Jersey against the
Lee De Forest Manufacturing Co. Of Los
Angeles.
Under the agreement the Los An
geles company cannot use the name De
Forest on its product unless specifically
designating them as not produced by
the original De Forest company.
The complaint said Lee De Forest,
radio inventor was given $3,000,000 for
his interest in the New Jersey company.

When the firms safe was opened sentative's of Washburn's office and officials of the brokerage concern, only a few securities of minor value were found. The $6,000,00O worth supposed to have been kept there was missing and all the files con-, taining the names of investors and data bearing on the conduct of the business also had been removed.
 Feared Violence
 The brokers family has received no word from him, it was said by Arthur L. Bob, a son. He added that his father had feared violence for some time prior to his disappear ance, but did not reveal why. Mem- bers of the family think he has met foul play in Chicago, the son said.
 The brokers attorney, Ferdinand Pecora, believed, on the other hand~ that Bob merely was seeking seclu- sion to ward off a threatened nerv- ous breakdown.
 Bob was said to be heavily inter- ested in Metal and Mining Shares, Inc, and Rainbow Luminous Prod ucts corporation. Both stocks drop ped recently on the curb exchange, and a curb brokerage house which specialized in them was suspended from trading.
 Failure to find the securities does not mean that they are missing from the city, since most firms prefer to keep their securities in bank vaults rather than in their own offices. Washburn said no charges have been filed. The inquiry is merely for the purpose of learning whether the state securities act has been vii plated. The important point, he said, is whether the securities were removed recently and whether they have been taken out of the state. USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS

EXPORTS DECREASE
 FROM LAST YEAR
September Figures Give Favor
 able Trade Balance, However

Washington, Oct. IA LP-Septem- Der exports from the United States amounted to S,00O,000 and im- ports $227,0OO,000, leaving a bal ance of trade favorable to the United States of s91, 100000.
 However, the commerce depart ment reported today, both exports and imports for the month were smaller than those of any like months for more than decade, but we're higher than like figures for August of this year, when exports were s29S,000,000 and imports $21S,- oOO,0OO.
 In September last year exports amounted to s437, 100000 and im- ports $351,0O0,0O0.
 Commerce department specialists who assembled the figures comment ed that the fall in commodity prices during the last year, generally esti- mated to average about 14 per cent, accounted in part for the decline in foreign trade.
 Gold movements in September were of less magnitude than those of earlier months this year, but result ed in a net gain of monetary metal for the United States. Gold im- ports of s13,671,000 were recorded in September against exports of s11, ,135,0O0. while for the year to date the United States has gained s1S5,S15,000 in gold by the ac- cumulated monthly excesses of i'm. ports over exports.
