BRACAW TALKS !. TO MEETING OF
 P.-T. 4. TONIGHT
Illustrated Address on Me Kinley Features Fine
 Program

Senators, grave an dignified, will attend the regular monthly meet ing tonight of the Juneau Parent Teacher Association in the grade school auditorium, and one of them will strut his stuff for the edification of his fellows and the information and delight of other auditors. Robert s. Bragaw of Anchorage, who represents the Third Division in the upper branch of the Territorial lawmaking body, will lecture on Mount Mckinley National Park, 2,645 square miles in area-larger than Delaware and more than twice the size of Rhode Island--and named for it's highest peak, 20.300 feet, the loftiest in North America.
 Familiar with Vast Expanse
 The Senator is familiar with the vast eXpanSe. He has boiled boats up it's tumbling rivers and padded craft across it's placid lakes. He has marveled at it's stately, age-old forests; it's fields of perennial flowers of myriad kind and color, it's abundant wild life of almost every fin and fang and feather extant in northern interior zones.
 The Senator knows the places where prospectors think there's buried treasure that some day will be uncovered to the wondering gaze of a startled world.
 Doubts persist as to whether any body has ever scaled Mckinley. No matter. The Senator has emp tied his pipe on the top of the towering pinnacle-from an air. plane.
 Even persons who cannot hear distinctly will be able to under stand the Senator's lecture. He will illustrate it profusely.
 When not making laws, Senator Bragaw functions as president Of the Alaska Guides Corporation. One phase of his business is to know all about Mount Mckinley National Park which is why he can talk so entertainingly of all it's grandeurs and glories.

French Colla b oration Thought Necessary to
 Avert Catastrophe

BERLIN, July 18. Hopes and fears of the Fatherland have gone to Paris with her statesmen who are expected to convince France that unless financial aid is forth coming, Germany's crisis may be- come Europes catastrophe.
 Millions of Germans are hopeful that Chancellor Bruening and For eign Minister Curtius will be able to secure French collaboration in a long-term loan or credits
 Fearing that political conditions attached to such assistance will be unacceptable to the Reich, Chan cellor Bruening is however optim- istic.
 Tension is at the highest point in Germany judging from press and official comment, greater than when President Hoover's morator- ium was hanging in the balance.
 Shortly before the statesmen left for Parts, President von linden burg Issued a decree strengthening the Governments power to SUD- press newspapers 'endangering public safety" The decree compels all newspapers to publish emer- gency decrees urging the people to keep orderly.

DAKOTA SOLON VISITS LOCAL
 MILL THIS P. M.
Senator Norbeck to Enc Visit Today-Sails for
 Kodiak Early Sunday

Forced by inclement weather con- ditions to abandon his proposed trip by seaplane to Lynn Canal towns, Senator Peter Norbeck today continued his conferences with local officials. He was occupied the entire morning at the capitol.
 But this afternoon he shook off visitors long enough to make a tour through the Alaska Juneau mill, accompanied by H. G. Watson, Sec retary to the Governor.
 The Senator has been greatly interested in accounts of the Alaska Juneau's striking success in hand ling low grade gold ore and was anxious to go through the mill and observe it's operations.
 Yecterday at pm. in company with Gov. Parks, Capt. M J. O'Connor. Assistant Agent of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, and MT. Watson, the Dakota solon left for short trip to the west coast of Douglas Island. The pur- pose of the trip was to give him an opportunity to witness the brail- ing of fish trap. This mission was not fulfilled, however, as the cannery tender had lifted the trap before the Widgeon, on which the trip was made, arrived at Shoal Point.
 Despite rainfall, the. Senat tor spent much of his time out on the patrol boats deck observing and asking questions about the country. Much of his conversation turned on game and wild life re- sources, which has been a lifelong hobby with him.
 Today will conclude his present stay here. He will leave on the Admiral Watson early tomorrow morning for Kodiak to join the Senator Walcott party aboard the Penquin, accompanying it on the rest of it's itinerary into the in- terior and returning here early next month for another stay of few days.
