Redington, Chief of the Bio logical Survey, that it was not possible to change the Alaska sea- son from September to October, as had been asked by the First City organization.
 Delegate Is Turned Down
 Delegate Wickersham, as request ed by the Chamber in a telegram sent him Thursday presented it's request for the exclusion of Alas ka from the Presidential procla- nation to the Biological Survey in Washington. He was flatly turn ed down.
 His response to the Chamber is as follows:
 August 25, the Secretary of Ag- riculture issued emergency regula- tions approved by the President re- ducing the season throughout the United States and Alaska to one month on ducks and geese because of severe drouth last two years af- fecting rearing young birds on breeding grounds.

 "The President stands pat and insists that the people all over the country should cooperate to avoid the calamity of extermination."
 The Delegate also advised the Chamber he was sending to all Alaska newspapers copies of the Presidential proclamation and the text of the emergency regulations.
 On the basis of this telegram, Chamber officials today were in- clined to entertain little hope for any modification. However, it was pointed out that the appeals sent to Senators Peter Norbeck and Frederick Walcott and MT. Red dington had not been heard from and it was thought there was a possibility they might recognize the reasonableness of the requests from Alaska and induce the President to make the desired modification.

WASHINGTON, August 29.- With it's record bulging with evil dence of the Republican source and the final disposition of money giv- en to Bishop James Cannon, Jr., for use in the anti-Smith cam paign in the South in 1928, the Senate campaign Investigating com mittee went into long recess.

Sidney Peters, who refused to talk.
 Among the evidence that went into the record in the last three days were assertions that a cho for S5,OOO, charged to the account of Claudius Huston, who later be- came National Republican Com mittee Chairman, was used in fi- nancing the anti-Smith movement in North Carolina.

 The tallest cylindrical tanks of this newest Minneapolis elevator will be built of concrete 152 feet high.
 Perched on them will be work houses containing machinery for elevating the grain and harness ing up gravity for the downward journey. The masts of these will be PIP feet high.
 Ordinary concrete tanks usually run upward 90 to 120 feet. The oddly shaped elevators which are so conspicuous as depot neighbors in grain-growing prairie towns were considered unsafe for years if they were more than 75 feet high.

ROOF-TOP PARKING
URGED BY BINGHAM
Senator Offers Suggestion for Solv'
ing Auto Problem of
Capital

Parking Of automobiles on top Of
business buildings that have nat roofs
was suggested today by Senator Bing-
ham of Connecticut as q possible solu-
ton that might be worth considering by
those who are studying the parking
problem in Washington.
Senator Bingham said this is being
done already in several Southern cities.
1t would not be practical, he said, in
parts of the country where heavy snow
falls occur in Winter, but he thought 1t
might be feasible here
Several weeks ago, when the parking
problem was brought into the lmelight
by the Fine Arts Commission in a letter
to the George Washington Bicentennial
Commission. Senator Bingham suggest
ed the possibility Of setting aside part
of the Government-owned land for a
large automobile parking structure.
In discussing traffic problems today
the Senator also said he had noticed
the ease with which traffic moves on
narrow streets when parking is restrict
ed to one side Of the street He said he
believes that on all narrow streets that
carry heavy now Of traffic it would be
advisable to limit parking to one side
Of the street.
