purchase would have to be ob- tained by special act of Congress. The Department had wired the Governor to see what the city would be willing to appropriate for the widening of the street be- tween the two blocks of land and council named $4,000 as the sum.
 In a recent letter received by the Delegate from Assistant Sec retary Heath, the following state ment is made: This question has been thoroughly investigated and very careful attention given to it but, in view of the fact that the building is satisfactorily complet- ed and the present site is ample therefore the Department does not believe it could justify request for the appropriation of S8O,O00 additional for the purchase of the block opposite the Government property out of the funds pro- vided for public buildings. The desirability of having the open park space in front of the building is realized, but in view of all the factors the Department is of the opinion that the authorization for the purchase of the land should be obtained by special act of Con- gress."
 Whether an effort shall now be made to have the Department rec ommend the purchase of half the block or whether the Delegate shall introduce a bill for the purchase of the entire block is up to the people of Juneau and Alaska to decide.
 The postal clerks in one of the large postoffices of the Territory maintain that the high cost of living entities them to increased salaries. The matter was taken up with the Postoffice Department and it was stated that there was no fund available to pay higher salaries. It seems that up to 1926 a bonus of $500 per year was paid clerks, but after the salaries were increased the bonus was abolished. And the desire is to have the bonus restored. MT. F1aherty, Secretary of the National Federation of Postal Clerks, had also been com- municated with, but he said that could be done at present.

Some of the fishermen of lJak- nek have written the Delegate to see if he could get them permis- sion to operate set nets and sell the resulting catch to canneries in that region. The Bureau of Fisheries states that the existing regulations prohibit fishing of this character at Naknek, although there is nothing to prevent such operations if the resultant catch is used for local food purposes, either for human beings or for dogs. The matter has been referr- ed to Commissioner Henry OMal- ley, who is now in the west en- route to Alaska.

 J. A. Talbot, Department Com mander of the American Legion in Alaska, wired the Delegate con- cerning a newspaper report that 30 Filipino cable hands were en- route to Anchorage to install the new radio station at that location. He suggested that Legion and other men out of work in the North could be secured to perform this work. Major General George s. Gibbs, Chief Signal Officer, ex- plains that only the regular crew of the Dellwood had gone with that ship to Anchorage, and while there they would assist to clear ground, erect aerialS, etc., and so some technical work, for which no funds are available to employ local men. The General suggest ed that to interfere with work now would jeopardize early completion of the project.
 The Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors have decided that there will be no survey of Keyku Straits, Alaska, as the ben efits would not be commensurate with the large Federal expenditure required to make this improve ment. A preliminary report was favorable to the extent of recom- mending a survey to determine the cost and advisa bility of the improvement. But the Board has decided against going further into the matter.

 The three other packages res mained unopened. Postal inspec- tors, certain they also contained bombs, were in no hurry to have them opened.
 Weaver's son, Paul, gave his father a pint of blood in an emer- gency transmission to-day. Weaver rallied slightly, but his condition was considered grave,
 Five postal inspectors working on the case here sought to link the mailed bombs with other re- cent bombings in Italian commun- tiles, particularly in the eastern states. Two inspectors planned to depart to-day for Philadelphia to investigate possible connection be- tween the Easton affair and the bombing of IF Italian stores in that city during the last two months.
 From Philadelphia they will go to Pittsburg to investigate bomb- ing of the Italian consulate two months ago.
 While holding to the theory that anti-fascist plotters were behind the mall bomb plot, authorities have not been able to offer an ex. plantation for two of the internal machines were mailed to persons apparently without Italian connec- tions.

 It was agreed here to-day that the suspicious of postal clerks un, doubtedly saved the lives of several if not all those whose addresses the packages bore. Similarity in size and difference of contents, as noted on the insurance receipts, lead two postal clerks to investigate.
 John House decided to open one of the packages. As he removed the outer wrapping there was a terrific explosion. House died a few minutes later. Both arms and legs being torn from his body.

lsarned of the local plan of aiding unemployed whereby those out of work were cared for by popular subscription instead of directly out of public funds, as is the case in every other New England city, the Waterbury officials were given the stamp of approval and praised for their handling of the situation.
 That Waterbury has raised al- most three.quarters of a million dollars so far in aiding the unem- a ployed was the feature that ap- pealed to the New York banking house in question especially. It was readily seen that Waterbury as q municipality Is running along al- most normally despite the depres- ! sion and the great bulk of unem- ployed are being cared for by in- dependent funds instead of out of the public treasury. Of course the administration Is caring for many persons, too. by furnishing employ ment and 1t Is this extra burden, plus the laxity of taxpayers, that has caused the shortage of cash in the city treasury now. As n whole, though, 1t was admitted in New York that the Waterbury situation is the best submitted by any New England city.
 lt Waterbury will be one of the few New England cities who will not default their interest and redemp- ton on bonds on January l. The money for this Is already in the -treasury. The $900,000 to be bor- rowed will be used entirely for the carrying on of city business from January to May exclusive of the January interest and redemption items on bonds.

cessive tax burden on large in comes, while the democratic house leader, Henry T. Rainey, declared for 0 policy which republicans arc describing as 0 soak the rich plan. Conflicting views as to tariff revision have been voiced. The re- suit is that Speaker Garner Is now seeking to smother such individua expression until the democrats cal agree on 0 party policy.
 These differences are about to be multiplied by the assembling oi party leaders here for the meeting of the democratic national com mittee Jan 9. National Chairman John J. Raskob has views on pro- hibition modification and on eco. homie policies which If pressed wil provoke noisy dissent. The growing fued between the Roosevelt and Raskob wings will gain new fuel unless discretion Is used.
 The three living former demo- cratic presidential candidates, Al. fred F. Smith, John w. Davis and James M. Cox, will speak at a Jackson day dinner here the night before the committee meeting. Gov ernor Albert c. Ritchie of Mary land will speak at a Jackson day dinner in Baltimore the previous night. Smith, Cox and Ritchie have been mentioned as potential candi- dates. Their speeches and expected to have material bearing on their respective fortunes. The two most mentioned possibilities. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt and Newton D. Baker, will not he present at either dinner or at the committee meeting.
 Investigation
 New York, Dec 31-(UP)-An investigation of the 1928 campaign report of the democratic national committee was started to-day by United States Attorney George Z. Medalie.
 Medalie's action followed @ statement by Representative Wood of Indiana, chairman of the re- publican congressional committee in Washington, in which Wood inferred there were individuals on the democratic payroll in 1928 who apparently did not desire to be identified.
 "If the facts are as MT Wood says, there has been a violation of the corrupt practices act" Meda- lie said. "Jf crime has been committed I shall prosecute.
 The United States attorney ex- pressed ignorance of the name of the democratic national commit tees treasurer in 1928, If prellm- mary investigations warrant, Med- allie said, he would question former Ambassador James W. Gerard, di- rector of finance of the committee that year, and John J. Raskob, chairman.
 Representative Wood charged that the payroll of the democratic national committee at It's head quarters in New York city from July 6 to December II, 1928. showed such items as the follow ing:
 Payroll, week ended october 10 -$27,579.9S."
 Auxiliary payroll. week ended october 10, $4,929.29.'
 Medalie pointed out that all amounts in excess of $10 must bo itemlzed with the name, address, amount and type of service rem dered. If the democratic report lacks these details, Medalie said, 1t violates the corrupt practices act,

 Judge Simpson granted Dwyer standing.
 Dwyer and Attorney Franklin L. Coeller, lawyer for the legionnairs, asked the judge for thorough air ing of the entire situation under- lying the Rocky Hill dispute. AL corn demanded that an agreement made by him with Judge Simpson in chambers last week that the mo- tion only be considered be re- spected. The point was regarded as important because of likelihood the case will go to the state supreme court of errors regardless of wheth- CT the temporary injunction grant, ed by Judge Simpson two weeks ago is dissolved or made permanent.
 Alcorn advised the veterans to cease shadow boxing and permit the state to do something for needy veterans"
 Judge Wheeler conferred fre- quently with the legion counsel from his front-row seat.
 After a conference with Averill and Johnson, Alcorn announced he would waive further argument and agree to nearing or the entire case.

 He then identified the minutes of the December [ meeting of the commission. at which the Rock Hill site was chosen by 5-2 vote. Coel- Ter read the minutes.

Tn one letter Holden admitted he may have stepped over the line n little" in asking Governor Wilbur l.. Cross to take lunch with the commission and examine the Rocky Hill site before he knew all tho commIs- sioners could be present.
