BOOZE FLEET
LATEST AIR
INNOVATION
Indictment Charges
30 Planes Are
Operated

DETROIT. Nov. 18.-tP-Opera-
tons of two aerial smuggling syn
dicates whose air fleets brought
liquor and aliens from Canada to
the United States. were revealed
today with the indictment Of ten
men by the federal grand jury.
According to information held by
the government, the s~yndicates OPP
Grated 80 planes for smuggling
liquor and aliens from Canada TO
remote landing fields IN the United
States.
Although operations OF the syn
dicates we're confined for the most
part to the Detroit area, govern
ment investigators said that planes
lanoed contraband in the vicinity
Of cities in Ohio, Indiana and ILL
nois.
How They Operated
Evidence on which the indict-
ments were based was obtained by
undercoyer agents who joined the
- AiGA11A1o ~ VIM nAA4A A4N
SmugglerS for weeks.
Investigators reported that 1900
cases OF liquor cleared a single
Canadian airport in one month at
he height Of the operations, while
correspondingly large amounts were
sent into the air from other fields
across the international line. The
planes operated by the smuggiers
were capable of carrying from Is to
40 cases of liquor on a single hop.
Operators of the smuggling syn
dica,eS kept up a continual game
of hide and seek with federal of
ficers. Landing fields were changed
frequently and hidden storage
points were maintained at fields
where the planes landed their car
goes.
Twelve Planes Seized
The men indicted today included
two from Windsor. SIX from the
downriver suburb Of Ecorse ana
TWO who are lis, ed with Detroit al
dresses. They we're included among
the IL indicted by the grand jury in
a big conspiracy case last spring
and todays indictments were a re-
affirmation Of the earlier indicl-
ments.
Twelve Of the planes which the
syndicate IS alleged % have used.
were seized by government age.itS
during the past eight months.

out the Fall campaign. Yet it availed nothing il these cases.

The First Division Legislative delegation, the result of the election, is representative It IS one of the strongest representing Southast Alaska. Three of the five members have had previous legislative experience and all of them are experienced in meeting and dealing with questions lof large public interest.
 Allen Shattuck elected to four-year term in the Senate was one of two Democratic Represen- tatives elected in this Division in 1928 and serving in the 1929 Legislature He gained valuable exper- fence there Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and through the general work of the House His 1928 Democratic colleague, A. H. Ziegler of Ketchikan, is of the leading attorneys of Alaska He served through the 1929 session where his counsel recognized as sane and timely, Grover C. Vim, local attorney also served in the 1929 Legislature with distinction. His long experi- ence in school affairs, as a member of the Juneau School Board made him valuable member of the Committee on Education.
 The two Representatives elect without experience are Judge Frank A. Boyle of this city and J. E. Johnson Ketchikan. Judge Boyle has had an extended training in public service. He was Reg ister and Receiver of the Juneau Land Office For many years and after that was United States Commissioner here. His soundness of judgment and fine ability generally recognized MT. Johnson gained experience in dealing with public questions and serving the public school teacher and executive He at time Superintendent of the Ketchkan Public Schools and made splendid record in that capacity Since leaving his pro- fession to engage in business he has made large place for himself in the Division.
 All of these students, qualified by education and experience to represent the Division very ably and efficiently. All of them have thelr homes and investments in Alaska and their first and only interest is in the welfare of Alaska That three of them were elected Democrats and two as Republicans need not, and assuredly will not, prevent them from acting harmoniousy in all matters with which they will be called on to deal in the next Legislature.

THE DIVISIONAL ELECTION AND THE
 LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION.

Tn the outcome of the elecUlon in the First Di- vision there are two or three conclusions to be drawn that should be outstanding enough for every one to agree upon The major fact demonstrated is that the electorate here is through With dom- ination by the bloc vote If the defeat of some of the Republican candidates, and the general trend in every one of the communities in the Division mean anything, they mean just that It is also plain that the voters, except those who can neither read nor write the English language and whose votes are therefore, cast without an intelligent understanding of any of the issues but at the command of boss cannot be delivered py anyone like so much merchandise. And the returns turnlSh ample evidence that the voters cannot be herdeo to the polls to vote for candidates under plea of party harmony.
 For years the organized Indian vote in South east Alaska has dominated the Republican primary elections in the Division It has controlled the nom- ination of that partys candidates and, until this year for long time no candidate it has opposed in the primaries ever reached the final test of the general election Last April, the Republican ele- ment which has protested against the use Of it's party machinery to encourage mass voting was successful in partially redeemng its organization from the Indian bloc and it's allies by eeetng antl Indian candidates for the Territorial Senate ana one House membership That striking evidence of the determination of the Division to end bossism in party politics.
 But under the exigences of the demands of party leaders and fellow candidates on the same ticket with them the candidates so named allied themselves with the very forces they had con- demend and had just beaten, and in the name or party loyalty undertook to deliver to the new aies but old enemies, the vote that had made them successful in the first place The outcome ot the election proves believe that such delivery IS impossible Two of the three Republican candidates suffering defeat were the men who had been nom- mated on the anti-mass vote ticket and then com bined forces with it. The third was the boss of the controlled vote.
 The first two of these three unsuccessful can didates had polled large primary votes in Juneau and Ketchkan and many smaller precincts In the general election both of them lost these two towns which gave ma iorties to the Democratic candidates almost unprecedented in size, and most of the others they lad in the primary election The plea of party harmony was strongly urged through

BUILDING FOR THE MOTOR CAR AGE

The town in Nevada that will house the working force that will construct Hoover Dam will be pro- vided with a ground plan thought out in advance that will furnish ample parking space and keep idle cars entirely off the streets
 No car will ever park at the curb in this town. There will be specially provided and con- veniently arranged throughout the town to take care of this demand of modern age
 This will be the first municipality consciously planned in advance of it's development to be laid out with all the exigences of an automobile age in mind. It will be so designed as to avoid all the inconvenience experienced in old-fashioned towns that grew of themselves in horse buggy days.
 This town will be a great transcontnental automobile highway That highway however, will not pass through the business street of the town and interfere with local activities so often hap pens, nor through the back yards or undesirable sections. Instead it will wind past the Government buildings through parks and choice residence areas The Government which owns all the land and assigns it for specific purposes will place the bus- ness section off the through road
