 RATES TOO HICH,. .S0L0NS INSIST.
Con gressm an Murphy Urges Generous Aid
 for Territory

Recent increases in rates on the Alaska Railroad were unneces- sary and unfair; their effect is to decrease the systems business and to retard the development of the country" de clared Congressman Frank Murphy, Rep u blican of Ohio, on his arrival in Juneau to- day after an official tour that took him and fellow members Of Congress to cities to the Westward and to the Interior of the Terri tory.
 "The federal government should rcctify the mistake it has made in it's policy of administering the Alaska Railroad. Lower rates should be restored. Service ade- quate in every particular, should be maintained.
 Should Be Improved
 "The physical condition of the transport system should not be al- lowed to deteriorate; it should be improved. Neither Congress nor the Interior Department should worry or bubble about an operating de. ficit. The nation can afford to meet this comparatively small de- ficit in the interest of the Terri tory, for ultimately Alaska will repay manyfold
 Northern treasure vaults have enriched the nation with great wealth. The Territory merits gen. erous consideration.
 Resources are Marvellous
 "The many and varied resource: of Alaska are marvellous. Time and money will be needed to de. velop them. The federal govern. ment through it's legislative anc administrative branches should s,t eager to encourage every effort di. rected toward development activi. ties.
 T think all members of tht Congressional party are of ont mind in this respect"
 Congressman Murphy probably will be chairman of the Interior Department subcommittee of tht House Appropriations Committee il the Republicans retain control oi tContinued on Page TWo)

They took off at 10 o'clock Sunday for Churchill, on Hudson Bay, where they expected to refuel but doubted whether they would re- main all night. The distance from Moose Factory to Churchill is 15l.5 miles.
 Col. Lindbergh said they were unable to reach anyone by radio on their flight with the exception of the National Defense Depart ment at Ottawa which was at 1:15 o'clock Saturday afternoon, East ern Standard time.
 Saturday night the fastness of the timber studded Canadian north land yelled the whereabouts of the fliers but no alarm was felt for their safety
 The nearest telegraph office to Moose Factory is eight miles away requiring slow hard canoe trip up turbulent Moose River. The word that the Lindberghs reached Moose Factory and were off for Churchill was not received until Sunday.
