That the forces of the Hoover administration are concentrated be- hind the proposed transfer of the Alaska Road Commissions power and activities to the Interior De- palltment was indicated strongly today in a telegram received by the Alaska Territorial Chamber of Commerce from Delegate Wick ersham.
 This message contradicts the Delegates telegram to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce under date of April 30. which was made pub lie yesterday. In that he said "all was uncertainty yet" about the transfer.
 Text of Telegram

Dimond, Democratic nominee for Delegate to Congress just prior to sailing from here today for his home in Valdez He is absolutely confident that Alaska will go solidly Demo- cratic this year and give all of the party's candidates big majorities.
 He will campaign for the entire Territorial ticket, and for the Divisional slate in each of the four Judicial Divisions. He plans to devote four months to his can vass of the Territory which he will cover from above the Arctic Circle south to Dixon Entrance and from the Aleutians in the West to the Yukon Territory border on the East.
 Senator Dimond will launch his campaign in July. Tentatively he plans to go first to the Alaska Peninsula and Bristol Bay districts, visiting every precinct there, in Cook Inlet and Kodiak He will jump from Unlaska to Nome about August 1, and spend the month working in the Second Division and Fourth Division up the Yukon River, reaching Fairbanks about September 1. He will complete the Fourth and Third Divisions during that month, and come to South east Alaska about the end of the month to devote the remaining four or five weeks of the drive te the First Division.
 T would like again to express my appreciation for the fine sup port I received in Southeast Alaska during the late primary campaign and to thank the many resident: of Juneau and other towns who since the result of the primary election became known, have as. sured me of their support in ths November election. After July 1 and until the votes are counted lnext November, I shall devote al
 of my time and energy to wha am confident will be a success.

ROOSEVELT WIN IN CALF 0RNIA
 MEANS VICTORY
Will Be Nominated if Wins There, Says Donohoe,
 Noted Local Leader

"If Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt carries the Democratic primary in California today, he is almost cer- tain to be the partys candidate for President" declared T. J. Don oboe, former National Committee man for Alaska and until this year Chairman of the Territorial Con- mittee.

 Confident Dimond Will Win
 q am delighted with the suc- cess of the organizations ticket for party officers in the recent primary election, and the vote they received proves organization leader ship has the confidence of the rank and file of the party he said. He was also pleased with the nomination of his law associate, Senator A. J. Dimond, for Dele gate to Congress and predicted his election next November.
 "The party's Territorial ticket IS strong and well-balanced and l be- lieve it will be successful all along the line" he added. "In Alaska, as everywhere else throughout the nation, if the primary vote last weeks means anything, the people are turning to the Democratic Party for relief from intolerable conditions. It holds out to them a hope for betterment that was promised by the present Admin istration-a promise that was not fulfilled he said.
 Health Seems Good
 Although MT. Donohoe has lost weight since going to California three years ago, he was apparently in normal health. He said he felt we'll and looked forward to the next two or tree months back in the harness with a great deal Of pleasure.
 He was accompanied by his son, Thomas M. Donohoe, and the lat ter's family who have been spend ing a vacation in the States. The younger MT. Donohoe is also a member of the law firm headed by his father. The third member, Senator Dimond, joined them here and will continue on to his home in Valdez.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-By five to four vote, the Supreme Court has declared invalid the Texas law under which the Demo- cratic State Committee barred ne- groes from the Democratic pri- maries.

DOUBLE EPR|MAR|ES
SEEN IN BAY STATE
Parties Call for Election of
Delegates Under New and
Old Laws.

Massachusetts, authorities will, in all
whereby the primaries for the selec
ton of delegates to the Republican and
Democratic National Committees can
be carried out although the Repub
lican call for the election Of delegates
to the National Convention provides
for electing delegates in the new con-
greSsional districting and the Demo-
cratic call for electing delegates in
the old districts.
ssachusetts, under the new dis
tricting and House apDortiOnment, has
only 8 districts instead Of l6, as, in
the old districting Of the State. A
plea from James Francis Burke, gen.
eral counsel of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, to Democratic au-
thoritie5 to help out in this matter ap-
parently has fallen on barren ground
Mr. Burke suggested yesterday that
the Democratic Committee alter its
plans for the Massachusetts primary
as a way out Of the difficulty. He eX
planned that under the call of the Re
publican Committee, the delegates to
the presidential convention must be
elected under the new apportionment
law. while. under the Democratic call
they will be selected under the old ap
portionment law.
In order to comply with both calls :"
he continued, Massachusetts authori-
ties would have to conduct two sets of
primaries on the same day one in the
Is old congr @sSional districts and an
other in the Is new congressional dis
tricts. Massachusetts, authorities de-
clare this to be an impossibility."
Burke said a change in the Republi-
can plans would require a special meet
ing Of the National Committee while
the Democrats could alter their pro-
gram to elect part of the delegation in
the State at large.
