WALKERS EXILE
|. FORECAST IN TALK
Citizens Committee Head Is
Cheered as He Indicts Tam
any at Mass Meeting.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 3i.-Mayor
Walker is given 100 days by John
Haynes Holmes to enjoy his return TO
the city.
Then he will have come to his
waterloo and will have started upon
his exile" said Mr.. Holmes at an over
flowed mass meeting ct Carnegie Hall
last night.
The mayor is due from California
Saturday.
The meeting was called by the City
Affairs Committee, which has preferred
charges with Gov. Roosevelt against
Mayor Walker. Speakers were Mr..
Holmes, chairman Of the City Affairs
Committee; Norman Thomas, Socialist
leader; Haywood Broun, columnist; DR..
Sidney y. Goldstein, associate rabbi OF
the Free Synagogue, and Paul Blan-
shard, executive director Of the City
Affairs Committee.
More than 5000 persons cheefed In
dictmentS Of Tammany. Denunciations
eral, State and city action to relieve
unemployment.
Charges Confession Of Guilt.
Everything that has happened since
the City Affairs Committee began its
agitation against the Walker admin
istration has been a confession OF guilt
on the part Of Tammany," said Mr..
Holmes.
Laughing at its enemies, sneering,
scofing, wisecraeking, the Tammany
Hall gang now Is terrified and Is hoping
by confession of guilt and promise Of
reform to secure pardon.
1.-THE administration, when charged
with corruption, repudiated the charge
and defled the Legislature to investi-
gate. Now that an investigation has
been ordered, Tammany suddenly be-
comes good and starts cleaning house
Of its own accord"
Asks Life Sentence"
Recalling the Tweed, Croker and
Murphy DAYS, Mr.. Holmes said Tam
many stood thrice convicted, and he
asked life sentence"
Mr.. Thomas accused Mayor Walker Of
running away" from the unemploy-
ment crisis and said the city had
robbed the poor by inaction far more
than the rich by graft"
Haywood Broun said he had picked q
job for walker which he would grace
ex-mayor.
Gov. Roosevelt has before him q de-
mand from City Controller Charles w.
Berry that charges filed against that
official be Immediately heard. Berry Is
the third city oflcial to be individually
cited TO the Governor.
The charges were hled by William H.
Allen, director Of the Institute for Pub
lie Service, who alleged Berry misused
the power Of his ONCE and was inefn-
cient.

 Members of the Chamber agreed to do what they could individually to promote the sale of Wrangell shingles and build up a local pay roll.
 George Rice. of tLe Juneau firm of Rice & Ahlers. was a guest of the Chamber. When called on by pr. R. N. Scruby. president. MT. Rice made an interesting address. He touched briefly on economic con- ditions of southeast Alaska. saying that business was good in his line, and that he had found it good in Skagway. Juneau. Sitka and Wran- gell, and in fact. wherever he had been in this section.
 Referring to the discussion of knew of a number of instances in Juneau and other towns whero customers of composition shingles were becoming very dissatisfied with their purchase; that the ma jority of composition shingles would not stand up under bad weather unless of a quality prac- tically prohibitive in cost to the averagn purchaser.
 Other topics discussed at the luncheon included efforts to get the Shoemaker Bay road extended to Pats Creek and efforts to se- cure for the immediate Wrangell district, some of the Colorado brook trout fry now being released in southeast Alaska by the U. s. Bu- reau of Fisheries. These and other matters were placed in the hands of committees appointed ny the president.

RED CROSS CHAPTERS AUTHORIZED
 TO HELP IN UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEL

normal processes of living and by their very nature demand that relief measures be concentrated in one agency. They leave the greater part of the country unaffected, which is thus able and glad to contribute the necessary relief funds. On the other hand, needs arising from widespread economic situations affect the whole country and each locality is burdened with meeting it's own problems. Many other private organizations, and public relief agencies supported by municipal, county and state taxa tion, deal with segments of the present need. No one agency could supplant these many agencies and successfully deal with all phases of the situation.
 Through the combined efforts of the Chapters and the national organization the Red Cross meets the responsibility for relief of natural disasters as imposed by it's Charter. The Chapters and their branches, covering the entire country. are able to take their aD- propriate place in their local com munities in meeting general econo mic distress.
 The drought relief work of 1930- 31; the relief now being extended following last summers drought, principally in Montana and North Dakota; the assistance which is being given to ex-service men and their families; and the part--whieh several hundred Chapters are taking locally in their communities relief measures are activities of the Red Gross. national and local, whi,h have met and are meeting some of the serious needs of the present l situation.

EXPERIMENT
 IS SUCCESSFUL

MONTREAL, Cue, Sept. 1S.- As result of a successful experi- ment shipment just concluded by the Canadian National Railways, eastern Canadian and American housewives will soCn be able to buy from the corner store choice salmon steaks from the far off Pacific Coast, which are fresh as the day they came out of the water.
 This latest marvel of food distri- buticn has been made possible by the efficiency of the modern re- frigerator car and the wonders Of the new quick freezing" process which is now being applied for the first time to the Pacific Coast fish ing industry.
 The first carload of salmon steaks handled under the new process was delivered by the Canadian National RailrCad few days ago in Creton, Connecticut, for distribution to New York and other eastern cen tres. Reports show that the fish was as fresh on the day of its ar rival as when it was packed in the new plant at Ketchikan, Alaska, in spite of the fact that it had been Il days in transit and passed through external temperatures varying be- tween 50 and 90 degrees. This is the longest haul that has eyer been attempted with quick frozen" fish. and the success of the experi- mental shipment will be followed by regular deliveries of fresh Alas ka and north Pacific coast fish to eastern markets, state Canadian National officials.

Manufactured in Wrangel is Evi-
 denced by over Quarter of Gen. tury Service on Local Buildings


 The main topic of discussion at the Chamber of Commerce weekly luncheon at the Wrangell Hotel Monday centered about cooperation with F. Angerman, proprietor of the Wrangell Shingle Mill.
 Wrangell red cedar shingles, it was pointed out, have had a superi- or rating for many years among those who know their shingles. The Chamber of Commerce was in- strumental in inducing MT. Anger man to buy the shingle mill few months ago, said one of the mem Ders, and it seems only fair to help him get his product before the public. In promoting a home indus try payroll, the Chamber would be carrying out a prime purpose of the organization.
 H. P. Corser stated that the roof of the Episcopal church was being reshingled for the first time since it was built 26 years ago. In tear ing off the old roof, built of Wran- gelI red cedar shingles, not one routed shingle was found, he said. Reshingling was necessary because 26 years of exposure to the weather had worn the shingles so thin that they were no longer a protection from rain.
 J. G. Grant said that he was put ting new shingles on one of his buildings where the Wrangeu red cedar shingles had lasted for over 22 years. Other members spoke Of like experienc of their own or neighbor's property. Those present to whom a shingle had been just a were surprised as the dis cussion revealed the difference in the six-to-two first grade red cedar

The suggestion has been ma le that the Red Cross accept complete responsibility for relief of unem- ployment in the present depression, says A. L. Schafer, manager of Red Gross activities in seven western states and Alaska, in a letter to chapter chairmen received by J. G. Grant, chairman Wrangell Red Cross chapter. This suggestion is doubtless an expression of public confidence based upon fifty years of effective service, and it is important that every Chapter officer under stand the policy of the Red Cross in relation tC the present problems.
 Consistent with it's Charter the Red Cross has developed and ad- hered to the following principles: f1) the Red Cross distinguishes be- tween distress resulting from mat ural" and economic" causes; CD it does not duplicate the work of ether agencies; (3) Chapters under take general relief work only where other agencies are inadequate and where the financial support for such work is provided locally. Where there is suffering and want fror any cause and the fundamental local needs are not being met, Chapters may participate in the community plans for meeting the need.
 Natural disasters such as floods hurricanes, fires, etc., affect a limited territory and disrupt the

DEMOCRATS CALL
 HERR. CONVENTION

A Territorial Democratic con yention to be held in Fairbanks beginning January 12, and a Di- visional convention in each of the four Judicial Divisions in Alaska, not later than December 10, have been called by T. J. Donohoe, Chairman of that party's Territo- rial Committee.
 The time and place of each of the four divisional gatherings are to be decided by the Divisional Chairman. In the First Division it is virtually certain that Petersburg will be the meeting place. and late in November probably the time.
 Purpose Is Twofold
 The purpose of the gatherings is twofold In the first instance the Democrats plan not so much to re-organize their party as tc strengthen the organization they have and extend its scope of activ- ity in preparation for next years campaigns. This phase of the work is, of course, mostly a purely party affair.
 Party leaders, undoubtedly with the approval Of a majority of the membership, have turned to the convention method of achieving this object. In order to hold a representative Territorial conven- ticn it is first necessary to hold Divisional meets. And before Di- Yisional Conventions are possible. precinct meetings for the election of delegates must be held. All of these steps attract attention and create interest, politically. among the rank and file of the party. This is, of course, the first and one of the major concerns of any parti- san organization.
 Primary Not Effective

EACH SCHOOL DAY WORTH
 $9 TO AVERAGE BOY

The whole world is facing period of reconstruction. Not only today, but for years to come, the people of America, as of every other country, will be called upon to solve problems that will demand the best thought.
 Gigantic tasks await our atten- Cion. Upon men of ability will de. pend our progress.
 Does education pay? Is it better to take our boy out of high school and put him to work? Is it better for the boy?
 Who would consider it an act Of wisdom to take off a boy from a job where he was earning $9.26 a day and put him to work earning $1.59 a day?
 A man is worth S1.50 a day from his head down. What he earns over that depends upon what he h ts stored away in his head and the use he makes of it.
 Too many of us are inclined o disregard the advantages of an ed ucation. Dad" didn't get any high school training. He has been able to make a living and he does not see the need of wasting time in sending Bill" to high school. But the fact is that every day the boy spends in school is worth S9.26 and that probably, is more than Dat. ever earned in one day.
 A bulletin issued by the U. ,. Bureau of Education, based on wages paid in the year before the war, shows that the uneducated laborer earns an average of $50G a year. This means that in 40 yearL his total earnings are S2O,OOO. High school graduates earn an average of $1,O00 a year, or $4O,OOO 1n 4o years. The average child must gG to school 12 years before gradual ing from the high school. This Is a total of 2,i6O days. The S2O,OOO which the nigh school graduate earns in excess of that paid to the uneducated man is equal to $9.2o for each day spent iR school.
 The bulletin further shows that the average amount earned by col- lege graduates in 40 years is ESQ., 900. It takes four years, or 72U days. to go through college. If these 72O days of school add $4O'OOO to his earnings in 40 years, every day the boy spends in college he is earning $55.0e.
 Pres. A. w. Van Hoose or Shorter College, Georgia, recently compiled the following facts on the value of educaticn:
 The people of Massachusetts have an average of seven years nf schooling and produce an average of S26O a year each. In Tenness ae the average schooling is only three years and the average production is only $116 per capita per year.
 Out of two million men who had no schooling only 12 attained any degree of distinction. Out of two million who had elementary school ing, 50 attained distinction. Of two million who had high school educa- ton, 1.245 attained distinction. In other words. child with no

DOMINION MONEY DISCOUNTED

The Wrangell branch of the Bank of Alaska has pasted a notice that Canadian chacks and currency will be accepted for collection only.
 Following Great Britain's de2i- sion the first of the week to sus- pend gold redemption, a number of the Alaska banks charged a 20 per cent discount on Canadian chects and currency. This was reduced Wednesday to 15 per cent.
