sSuper-Human' Instruments
 To Probe Secrets of Earth
 During Polar Year Research
By F. B. COUPON Associated Press Science Editor.)

WASHINGTON, July 30. - un- struments more sensitive, more &C., curate and more enduring than their human operators will un- lock secrets of the earth's mag netism during the coming Interna- tional Polar Year.
 Delicate needles, giant loops of wire spread over the ground, and powerful radio waves shot into outer space will record automat- ically new facts about the strange electric currents that play through and around the earth-which is itself a gigantic magnet.
 30 Nations to Take Part
 They will make continuous rec ords all over the world from Au- gust, 1882, to August, 1883, giving scientists for the first time an unbroker picture of natures elec- trical behavior at 70 different plac- es on the earth's surface during an entire year Thirty or more nations will take part in the re- search.
 One machine, poking a continu- ous radio wave into the sky, will record the changing heights of the Kenneily-Heavside layer, the billowing blanket" of electrically charged air that reflects" radio waves and regulates the quality of radio reception the world over
 Another, the declinometer, is a compass that records each day al the different directions in which it points. Although the compass always points more or less du; north, it's actual direction is con stantly changing because of the variations in the mysterious mag netic forces that attract it north ward. Scientists want to know more about how and why these forces vary.
 A third electrical "sleuth" will shaved the invisible but powerful magnetic force that constantly hovers around the earth, and will note how it varies in strength at different points from hour to hour and from day to day.
 Facts Sought Are Important
 A fourth device will seek tc discover if there is a secret under standing between the magnetism of the earth and the variations

in radiation from the sun. Bet ter knowledge of the earth's mag netism is highly important in radio telegraph and telephone work.
 One instrument, the dip circle, through which the operator has to look as through a surveying in- strument, has celluloid eye-pieces to prevent the users eyebrows and eye-lashes from touching the met al parts and freezing to them. Most of the instruments work automat- ically, however, marking their rec ords on revolving drums of paper or on strips of tape like stock ticker.
 In Arctic regions where mercury is likely to freeze, thermometers will use toluol instead, a fluid more resistant to cold.

ADEvlINISTRATIONCEH CHARGED WITH CRISIS
" Western Alaska Red Fish Pack Greatest On Record;
 Bristol Bay Season Ends

followed this year, it is practically certain that the Bristol Bay pack would have reached figures un- known in the past and the total jumped to near the 3,000,000 case mark. Gamers there did not prepare for any unusual run and many ex- hausted their available can supply many days before the season end- el and shut down their plants. Practically all of them were fore ed put the fishermen on limits and numbers withdrew part of their fishing boats from the field.
 Pink Pack Subnormal
 The pack of pink salmon both in Southeast Alaska and Prince William Sound is subnormal. This is not due alone to curtailment of canneries, but in considerable measure to the fact that the main run of that species had failed to materialize up to Thursday night.
 The pack up to last Saturday night was the smallest on record in great many years, aggregat- ing 343, ,169 cases. Most of these had been packed on the Alaska Peninsula which reported 104 .092 cases. Southeast Alaska's pink pack, which ordinarily is 90 per cent of the total of that variety, was less than 75,00O cases.
 A fair run was reported hitting in the Cross Sound area last Monday and Tuesday but this slackened and had not revived at least by Thursday night. Some showing of fish was reported on the West coast of Prince of Wales Island. Unofficial reports said the fish were unripe and would not be ready to enter the streams for at least three weeks, which, it was declared, was the reason they had not entered the inside wa- ters yet.

JAY WILLIAMS RETURNS
 FROM CRUISING TIMBER

After two-weeks timber cruise in the vicinity of Port Houghton, south of here, Jay P. Williams, Forest Examiner, United States Forest Service, returned last Thurs day evening, accompanied by his assistant, Dick Toilette. They will remain here compiling field notes for the next two weeks.
 Mrs. Williams, who has been ab- sent in the States for the past year with their two sons, who have been attending school in the midwest Twill arrive here next Tuesday.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1932-07-30

With total pack of 1908, ,990 cases of fish, including 1,l95164 cases of reds and 5,534 cases of red fins and tips", the Bristol Bay salmon fishing and canning sea- son closed last Tuesday. Final pack figures were received here this week at headquarters of the United States Bureau of Fisheries and made public late Friday by Capt. M. J. O'Connor, Assistant Agent.
 The total Alaska pack for all districts so far reported to the Bureau here is 2,619,359 cases of which 1888, ,488 are red salmon, al- most 150,000 cases more than the total pack of 1881. The pack of reds so far reported from Western Alaska is l,716,192 cases, some 13,- 900 cases less than was packed there in 1918 when all records for the Territory for that variety were smashed and have not since been equalled.
 Cycle Improvement Shown
 The record this season for reds is all the more gratifying because it presents such striking con- trast to the pack of the last pre- ceding cycle years-l927 when Western Alaska's pack was 884, ,000 cases, or practically 50 per cent. of the current production for the same area. It is expected the to- tai red pack for the Territory this year will reach at least 2,000, ,000 cases. This is not the largest on record but it is well above the average.
 The record production of red salmon was made during the war era in 1918 when 2,618,559 cases were reported. At that time ev- cry possible fish was put into cans and fishing started with the first run and ended late in the Fall. If the same procedure had been

LARGER MINING ACTIVITIES IN
 INTERIOR SEEN
Both Placer and Quartz Mining Operations on
 Upgrade Stewart Says

Increased activity in both branch es of the gold mining industry is noticeable in the interior dis tricts, declared B. D. Stewart, Mn ing Supervisor for Alaska for the United States Bureau of Mines and representative of the United States, Geological Survey. He re- turned early this week from 8 six weeks trip to that region.
 The three coal mines are oper- ating at normal capacity and their physical condition is excellent, MT Stewart said. The number oi prospectors in the hills is sub- stantiaIly larger than for several years.
 Carrying Out Program
 The Fairbanks Exploration Con- pany, he said, is carrying out its comprehensive operations and de- velopment program according tc schedule. He visited both tht dredging and stripping operations now in progress.
 MT. Stewart also looked over as many of the quartz properties in the Fairbanks district as his time would permit. The principal op- erations in that section is being carried on by the Cleary HilE Gold Mining Company which is ir a producing stage and is em- ploying some 25 men. There are some IS separate development anc prospecting operations being car. ried on in the Ester Dome quartz region. Several of these are new activities and give promise of be- ing successful.
 The Eagle Creek Mine near Fer. ry is now being directed by E. A Austin, for several years in charge of the Yukon Gold operations ir the Ruby district. MT. Austin is shipping five tons of the higher

SEN. HARRISON THROWS FIRST CAMP A|CN BOMB
Charges Are M a de ir Speech Sent Over
 Nationwide Hookup
ECONOMIC COLLAPSE IS
 PUT UP TO COP. HEAD
Delay for Two Years in Positive Action Cause
 of Present Situation

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 30.-Delay and indecisiOn by the Hoover Administration for more than two years are largely responsible for t h e seriousness of the economic collapse in the United States, was the charge brought last night by Senator Pat Harri- sen, Mississippi, in a speech broadcast over a nationwide radio hookup last night. It was the opening speech of the Democratic national cam paign and indicated the par tvs tactics would be to lay special emphasis on economic issues.
 Almost at the same time Senator Harrison was delivering his broad side, the Administration was mak- ing public a new nine-point pro- gram urged by the President, and Senator J. L. Dickinson, Iowa, Permanent Chairman of the G. O. P. national convention last June, opened the Republican campaign in the Midwest, attacking the Demo- cratic program as a mass of gen. eralities.
 Relief Program NOn-partisan
 The Mississippi Senator's over the-air statement was prepared be- fore the Hoover announcement was made public He asserted that the program of relief legislation which the late Congress enacted was non- political and non-partisan; that it was woven by Democratic leader ship and lined with Democratic thought.

Governor UT ged to Take Charge of Situation

JOHNSTOWN, Penn, July 30. = Faced with the rising hostility of citizenry, staff leaders of the Bonus Army retreating from Washington to this city, have telephoned Walter Waters, their com- mander-in-chief, urging him to come at once and aid in handling the situation.
 The tattered and hungry veterans, forced to flee from the Capital City at the point of b ayOnet t s, continued to trickle into JOhnstown. More than 1000 are here and the mountains are honeyc0mbed with others, many in ugly moods.
 The Johnstown Democrat, daily newspaper, in an edi- torial today h e a d e d "Be Ready to Act,' said that if any considerable number of men cOngregate in JOhnstOwn, the Governor should take im- mediate charge of the situa- tiOn and a special cOmmmitee should at once start keeping order

W. L. PAUL WILL MAKE RACE FOR
 ATTY GENERAL
Three-Cornered Fight in November for that
 Office Assured

w. L. Poul, Indian leader of Southeast Alaska, several times President of the Alaska Native Brotherhood and it's present at torney, will run as an independ- ent candidate for Attorney Gen. eral of Alaska in the election next November. This was made known today when it was announced he had filed his acceptance of pe- tition filed in the Office of the Territorial Auditor last Aprl.
 This will make three-cornered race for that office. The other two candidates are James S. Truitt Anchorage, Democrat, and John Rustgard, Juneau, Republican. Result is Debated
 Just what effect Paul's entry will have on the final result is the cause of considerable specula- tion. Paul. himself, believes he can win in three-way fight Neither Democratic nor Republ- can leaders will concede him an outside chance.
 The former predict that MT. Truittt will win by large vote. They point to the returns from last April's primaries as proof trat they are justified in their contention. In the Democratic primary, MT. Truitt boiled 3,72a votes, and local party leaders are certain he vie get several hun d-ed more ballots in the general election. Ordinarily this is the case, and at this time there seems to be no reason to believe it will be otherwise next November.
 MT. Rustgard's vote last April in the four Divisions aggregated 2,940, almost 800 less than that cast for Truitt. He, however, had opposition where the latter was running unopposed for the Demo- fNonffx,,,o. n r>u0a EfQltl

IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM NOW
 IS PROPOSED
Presid ent Announces 9 Point Plan to Rehab-
 ilitate Nation

WASHINGTON, Julq 30. = The Administration last night announc- ed it's hopes of speedily carrying out the elaborated rehabilitation program-the program involving some of the things which Demo- cratic spokesmen insisted should have been proposed to the Con- gress earlier than two years after the economic collapse and was not done until last December.
 President Hoover himself an- rounced nine-point proposal in- volving many steps to stop defla- tion and bring about improvement ir the economic and industrial sit- uation now existing.
 The program involved: Re-
 placement of slums with mod
 ern housing facilities, expan-
 sion of credit facilities; stim-
 laticn of railway maintenance
 and repair work; faster move
 ment of agricultural products;
 shorter working hours; swift
 organization of the Home Loan
 Bank System; constructing of
 self -liquidating projects and
 other avenues of Government
 cooperation with and aid to
 beth public and private agen-
 cies.
 Many of these things have to be done under the auspices of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation which has already set some of its machinery in motion to make ef- fective the latest relief legislation passed by Congress just before ad- journment.

WASHINGTON. July 3O.-Sharp criticism of President Hoover's use of troops against the Bonus Army came yesterday from two Demo- crats, United States Senator Hugo Black, of Alabama, and Repre- sentative Wright Patman, of Texas.
 "It was only after the President took charge of the situation that trouble began" said Senator Black.
 Representative Patman suggested the President use the Army to drive the international banking lob- by from the Capital City" Putnam was leader of the bonus drive in the House.

GREAT RUN OF
 PINK FISH IN
 SOUND WATERS
Season in Prince William Sound Extended 72
 Hours-Run Appears

With the appearance in Prince William Sound of heavy run of pink salmon, the Department of Commerce, upon the recommends tion of Henry OMalley, Commis- sioner of Fisheries, has extended the fishing season there 72 hours it was announced here today by Capt. M. J. O'Connor, Asst. Agent of the United States Bureau of Fisheries.
 The season there was scheduled to have closed at p. m. today Under the new regulations it will close at the same hour on August 3, and fish trap loads must be cut of the water by August 10.
 Run Unusually Heavy Advices received at local head quarters of the Bureau from both official and unofficial sources said the run that struck in last Thurs day was unusually heavy. Friday 1t was heavier and it was expect ed to increase. It was a week lat CT than in 1881.
 N. O. Hardy, Warden in charge of the district, wired that the fish were showing in larger numbers at all points, while radio messages from several canning companies said it was sbnormally heavy in every section of the Sound.
 Improves Some Locally There was some improvement ing the pink salmon run in Cross Sound and Icy Strait, according to telegrams received from can- neries located in the latter district. A message from Port Althorp said there was a good run in the area Friday.
 J. T. Tenneson, wiring from Tenakee, said Salisbury Sound was full of fish with some improvement in Peril Strait. The run had not reached Chatham Strait last night, and lower Stephens Passage and Frederick Sound had few pinks to date.
 May Seek Extension
 It is believed that the run will steadily increase in Southeast AL aska, showing first in numbers ill Icy Strait. The fishing season in the western section, from Point hdolphus west, is slated to close on August 3, and in the eastern section on August 5.
 If there is a normal showing of fish at that time, it is certain that the canners will seek an ex- tension of the season. The run is abnormally late now and none of the plants have made anything like normal pack. Local cannery en- ployees, working on piece-work, have earned but little money and an extension of the season would aid them materially.
 Widgeon Leaves Today
 The patrol boat Widgeon, Capt. Clyde I. Dell, left today for Icy Strait for 2 four-day inspection of traps and fishing grounds and to gather late information on the run.
 It will return here before the closing date for Icy Strait and the outcome of its survey probably will be a factor in the final de- cision on extending the season.
