HOnOred at
Dinner
President and Mrs. Hoover
Entertain at Annual FunC-
tion to Mission Heads and
Wives in White House
BY ANNE PATTEN

Two Presidents dined at the
White House last evening, when
the President and Mrs. Hoover
entertained at dinner in COM
pliment to the heads Of the va
rious diplomatic missions in
Washington and their wives.
The minister of Panama,
Ricardo Alfaro, recently elected
President of his homeland, was
among the guests in his role as
his country's diplomatic repre-
sentative here. Tomorrow he
leaves Washington for Panama
to take the oath of office in his
new position. It was his first
appearance at an official func-
ton since his election and his
last before his departure from
the city.
Dinner Much Discussed
Much speculation had arisen
since his election regarding his
position at the dinner. Panama
is eighteenth on the diplomatic
list, but as PreSident-elect, it
was argued, the veteran diplo-
mat might be expected to out
rank even the dean Of the
corps, Senor de Teller, the am
bassador Of Mexico.
The question, however, was
settled by the Alfaros and it
was as the Minister Of Panama
that the President-elect at
tended the much discussed din
ner, accompanied by his wife.
Sonora de Alfaro. the new First
Lady of Panama.
Dinner was served in the
state dining room where the
tables had been lavishly deco
rated with but terfly roses,
earn tionS, bay primroses,
glorioSa ferns and asparagus
sprengeri.
Musicale Follows Dinner
Following the dinner addi-
tional guests were invited to at.
tend the musicale in the bali
room where Nine Claire Dux
and Vladimir Horowitz were the
artists.
Guests at the dinner included:
The Ambassador of Mexico
and Sonora de Teller, the Royal
italian Ambassador and Madame
de MARITIME, the Ambassador of
Brazil, the Ambassador of Spain
and Sonora de Padilla, the Am
basSador of the French Repub-
lie and Madame Claudel, the

 These freighters express the ut most confidence in their ability to put the freight into Fairbanks at a rate no higher than the railroad freight rate and from three to four days earlier than by the railroad. While these first loads are confined almost tain that after this initial trip has demonstrated the feasibility of motor freighting many other articles of merchandise will be added to the list of commodities that will go over the highway to the interior metropolis, and that last years tonnage over the highway may be more than doubled.
 Later developments in the plan to freight over the highway to Fair banks are the arrival of two other big trucks which have departed for the interior with capacity loads of general freight.

 "If Congress and the Interior De- partment are obsessed with the idea that this railroad must be self-sus- taining at once, the sooner they junk it the better.
 My interest, of course, is centered in roads and not railroads, though this particular rairoad is a conspicu- ous factor whenevr the matter of road-building in the Territory is dis cussed. Roads that remotely parallel this railfoad naturally meet with op- position fro01 the Federal Govern ment.
 '"The re.ritul ial Road Board is committed ts limited help for the Eklutna voad It was programmed for this season, .Lut unfortunately $7O,OOO reduction in road expendi- lures from the 1881 season made it necessary to curtail that item.
 I've are rapidly reaching a stand still in our road building activities. which include harbor improvements, flood control, aviation fields, hydro plane airports, telephone lines, shel- ter cabins and the maintenance of ex- isting roads, to say nothing of the er-increasing demand for new roads. It means this much as far as Anchorage is concerned: The Terri tory can not without federal coopera- tion hope to build the Eklutna road within any reasonable length of time"
