Early Action on Lakes to
 Ocean Canal Is NO,u Sought

WASHINGTON. D. C., Oct. 22.- Early realization of the centuries old vision of seagoing vessels sail ing eastward over the St. Lawrence River into the Great Lakes is to be sought by the United States and Canada.
 Definite steps to consummate ne- gotiations for a treaty governing the gigantic shipping and water power project have been agreed upon by the two governments aft CT years of discussion.
 Direct diplomatic exchange of views, the State Department an- nounced, will be relied upon in in- itiating the discussions American Minister McNider at Ottawa and Canadian Minister Herridge here will act as spokesmen. The United States had suggested special con- mission.
 Hoover Seeks Action
 President Hoover has agreed to the procedure and is desirous of pushing the undertaking. which will cost many millions, as a spur to employment.
 Until the announcement recently, action upon the project had been
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-10-22

virtually at a standstill since Sec rotary Kellogg notified Canada this country was ready to name a group to negotiate treaty.
 Governor Roosevelt of New York is expected to be heard from on the development. He recently wrote President Hoover to ask about re- ports Canada and the United States were discussing the project and asked that New York be included in negotiations.
 Route Is Disputed
 Creation of the great inland wat erway from the Atlantic to the Lakes would set up a channel for free movement of seagoing traffic along the turbulent course from Montreal to the Lakes.
 The chief dispute in this country has been over whether the route should be from the Lakes via the St. Lawrence or across New York State. President Hoover, while sec- retary of commerce. urged the St. Lawrence way in a report to Pres ident Coolidge.
 The problem of disposal and con- trol of power development also is unsettled.

NEW YORK, Oct. g. - Pierre Laval, Premier of France, arrived today in the United States en- route to Washington, D. C., to talk with President Hoover on methods of smoothing the wrinkles of care out of the face of mankind. New York City gave the Premier one of the greatest ovations in it's history.
 Cheering thousands banked the Battery. Fireboats spouted and the big guns of Fort Jay thund- cred
 The former peasant lad smiled calmly as he watched the airplanes overhead. The French Premier faced the great crowd of photographers and reporters with perfect calm. Coming ashore from the liner He de France, the Premier craned his head through window of the tug Macon and said: Let me see the Statue of Lib- erty."

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Oct. 22.- The Government is considering a selective sales tax as a means of raising money to counter the bal ance of declining income taxes.
 While no definite decision has been made regarding recommenda- tions to be made to Congress, ex- perts are carefully combing the field to see what articles could be included in the selective tax.
 It is definitely decided there will be no selective tax on food rent, fuel or other necessities.
 Matches, automobiles, radios and perhaps cigarettes are considered logical sources to be absorbed by the manufacturer, it is said.

 France s Position

ROME, Oct. a. When Dino Grandi, Italy's foreign minister, goes to Washington next month, one of the most important issues he will discuss with President Hoo- yer is the long standing naval dis pute between Italy and France, dip- lomatic circles believe.
 It is certain also that they will discuss ways of achieving close working agreement between Italy and the United States in connec- tion with the worlds economic dif- ficulties. Both Premier Mussolini and Grandi found themselves in general agreement with the Amer ican views when Secretary of State Stimson was here 8 few weeks ago.
 The premier was quick to accept the Hoover debt moratorium and he also is understood to have ex- pressed appreciation of Americas support for the one-year armament truce which Grandi proposed at Geneva.

ADMINISTRATION
 TO PRESS SALE OF CABLE LINE
Chamber Hears Admins tration Will Seek Legis-
 lation to Sell System

Legislation directing the War Department to sell the United States Signal Corps cable, land telegraph lines and radio stations comprising the Alaska-Seattle con- munications system probably will be introduced in Congress this win ter, according to a letter from Charles D. Garfield, Manager of the Alaska Department of the Se- attle Chamber of Commerce, read to the Chamber of Commerce to- day.
 Proposal for sale was first made last year but no action was then taken. That it will be renewed this winter, is considered practically certain, MT. Garfield said. Based Upon Inquiry
 This opinion is based upon in- vestigations of a special commit tee of the Alaska Department and discussion with Jack Underwood Washington representative of the ], Seattle Chamber The sale of the i system is an announced policy of the Hoover administration which desires to dispose of all of the Governments communication inter ests in the Territory to private in- i terests. T have come to the defi- nite conclusion that the people o1 ! the Territory would much prefer the continued handling of the sys- tenn by the Government said MT Garfield, but he asked for an ex- pression from this and other Cham bers in the Territory.
 1 T am satisfied" he added, "that if the system is sold, private own ership would only take over those stations which furnish the maxi mum re ce ts or show profit This would mean the elimination of the nonproductive, or a provis- ion for wireless telephonic com. munication with the major stations such as were arranged for by ths last Legislature in taking care o the situation at Marshall. Thi: would result in placing heavy obligation upon the Territory fol installation and maintenance witf no requisite return therefor It il doubtful, also, if the present rate! and efficient service would be main tained.

 Prove False

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 22.- The hunt for Mrs. w. O. Judd, wanted in connection with the deaths of Agnes Leroy and Hsdvig Samuelson, both formerly of Ju- neau, Alaska, whose mutiliated bodies were found in two trunks and a valise in the Southern Pa cific station baggage room here last Monday, is being made in the cave-like recesses of the hills of Beverly and Glen Center.
 A cabin, belonging to the wom- ans brother, B. J. McKinnell, is also being watched. A policeman found a blanket in the cabin and a quantity of food An officer has been assigned to the cabin to watch in case Mrs. Judd tries to seek refuge there.
 Fruitless Clues
 Suspicious persons have been re- ported in many adjacent towns and cities but so far all clues have proved false ones ana there are practically no new developments in the double crime, which was com- mitted in Phoenix, Arizona, and the bodies of the two girls shipped to Los Angeles.
 Nothing has been seen of Mrs. Judd since she left her brothers automobile last Monday after she had secured $5 from him and when the two were driving away from the station baggage room after they had gone there to claim the two trunks. At that time the baggage agent, suspicious of the contents. demanded that Mrs. Judd open the trunks. She declared she would have to return home to get the keys and she and her brother immediately left the sta tion The baggage agent caught the number of the auto license and McKinnell was later arrested Blood leaking from one of the

AMERICA SEES NEW
 TYPE OF FRENCHMAN

PARIS, Oct 22-Now that Sena- tor Pierre Laval, Premier of France. has arrived in the United States, the Americans will look upon 8 type of Frenchman that few know.
 He runs from speech making and uses very few gestures to express himself. In this he departs radi- cally from the methods of his teacher, Aristide Briand, who is a master spellbinder.
 Instead of preferring the rostrum where he can see his audience and watch the effects he makes on them, M. Laval likes best to talk from the floor in the National Leg islature and from there as rarely as possible.
 Critics Viewpoint His critics who love oratory off, ten point out that he loses great deal of effectiveness by mounting the tribune in the Chamber of De-. puties or in the Senate only when he has official documents to read, an unacceptable task.
 On these rare occasions the Depu- ties or Senators do not get hair raising. blood warming political speeches of the type the French love and sometimes need. M. Bri- ant often has gone to the tribune with what seemed to be defeat staring him coldly in the face to

NEW CARDINALS TO BE CREATED
 NEXT DECEMBER
Apostolic Delegate to Unit. ed States Among
 Those Discussed

VATICAN CITY, Oct 22-Pope Plus XII will hold consistory in the first half of December and. &C., cording to authoritative sources at the Vatican Palaces, Monsignor Pietro Fumasoni- -Biondi, apostolic delegate to the United States, will be made a cardinal.
 The Sacred College of Cardinals is now reduced to but 55 members owing to deaths during the past two years and to the fact that the POntiff has not created any new cardinals during 1881. Of these 55 members, 26 are Italian and 29 are foreigners. There is generally a majority of Italians.
 There are 70 places available in the sacred college so that the Pope will likely create a number of new cardinals in the coming consistory.
 The demand of other countries will make it imperative to give them places now occupied by Ital- ian cardinals.
 Ask Another American
 Another cardinal is demanded by many of the bishops of the United States. Most nations have a cardinal, who is resident in Rome and is member of the Roman Curia and hence in a position to advise the Pontiff on matters which affect his church at home.
 Besides. there is only one cardi- nal in the whole of South America and he is the archbishop of Rio de Janeiro. For this reason Argen- tina has persistently appealed to the Pope to nominate an Argen- tine cardinal, who would be the archbishop of Buenos Aires. Chile has made the same appeal for car dinal rank for the archbishop Of Santiago. Other such pet 1t o n come from Australia, from South Africa and from India, China and other countries where the mission ary work of the church is gaining headway.
 The complexion of the Sacred College, according to prelates In the Vatican Palaces, will be vast ly different in fifty years because of the trend of development of the church. There will be many more foreign cardinals and fewer Italian cardinals. Some time in the not too distant future a foreign Pope is expected to be elected.
 Predict American Pope
 Naturally, the question of an American Pope is the one which imposes itself on all discussions of a non-Italian pope, especially since the United States has been such a power in recent internationa
