SEWARD SCHOOL IS ACCREDITED FOR U. OF
 WASH. ENROLMENT

Clearing up the erroneous idea many have had regarding the status of the Seward High School with respect to it's accredited af- filiation with the University of Washington, the following letter is self explanatory:
 w. c. Erwin,
 Pres. School Board,
 Seward, Alaska.
 Dear MT. Erwin.
 On April q, you wrote this of flee inquiring as to the status of the Seward High School regarding accreditation at the University of Washington. You were advised by me that Seward was not included in the list of accredited schools in Alaska sent to the University of Washington by former Com , missioner Breuer, and as no ex- planation was given, I assumed that it was on oversight. I wrote the University of Wash ington at that time but received no reply. Recently, I have taken the matter up with them again and have been advised by E. B. Stevens, Registrar of the Univer- sity of Washington, that Seward appears upon their list as one of the accredited schools in Alaska. I trust that this will straighten up this matter satisfactorily, and that hereafter the Seward stud ents will have no difficulty in en- rolling at the University of Wash ingtOn.
 Very sincerely,
 w. K. KELLER,
 Com. of Education.

ICELESS REFRIGERATION

An unusual shipment through the Northwest was a refrigerator car of 10000 pounds of Alaska
 salmon and halibut. The fresh fish were loaded in refrigeration in Alaska and shipped to Puget Sound from which point they were carried over the Northern Pacific in a non-iced refrigerator car, to New York, where they were again consigned by steamship to Lon don. The shipment across the country was in an automatic re- frigerator car moving in fast serv- ice. Railway company officials said that they were delivered in perfect condition Experiments are being made with the non-icing refrigeration with good success, it is reported Already this year lettuce and berries have been shipped in these cars which do not require icing service enroute.

WASHINGTON, Aug. I2.-R-
The phase OF the unemployment

Hoover more concern than any 9TH
er is that which comes under the
label Of permanent"
The business depression has dem
onstrated TO industry that many
employees and types Of activities
heretofore considered absolutely
necessary can be eliminated with
out impairment or efficiency. In
some cases, the reduction OF over
head and labor expense has in
creased efficiency.
To add to the problem the pres
tdent'S special committee on I'M
employment has found, most OF
those in this category. who have
been laid off, In high type en-
pioyees doing special work. They
are therefore difficult for en-
ployment agencies to place.
Revival Would AID
A revival OF business, government
experts note. will result in an i'm
mediate pickup in employment in
most industries. Other industries,
however, are expected to remain
at their present low level indefin-
itely. They are industries that have
suffered a gradual business decline
because substitutes for their basic
products have captured the buying
public's fancy. Permanent unem-
ployment undoubtedly viii come
from such sources.
Heretofore after ~depreSsions new

Consultations Held
Since beginning his new study
OF the unemployment situation sew

has received hundreds OF sugges-
lions and has consulted with score
OF people interested in the problem.
His present objective, however. IS
to take care OF unemployed next
winter and then to seek means OF
furnishing steady employment in
the future.
Mr.. Hoover is unequivocally op-
posed to federal relief in any OF
the direct aid forms previously
suggested in some quarters. He is

eral government initiating plans
for a permanent increase In m

Technical studies OF this problem
