THE PORK BARREL

The term Pork Barrel" has come to be misused as a term of reproach to any congressional appropriation for any public building, river or harbor improvement or like purpose i; needed or otherwise.
 If for something useful or a need ed improvement and at the same time giving needed employment why oppose? I have attended U. S. Dis trict Court on the third floor of a building erected for a general mer- chandise store. Two long flights of stairs. The painting was hideous and everything unsuitably arranged. The rent must include taxes and a profit to the owner.
 Yet if Congress appropriates money for suitable building that
The Wrangell sentinel., 1932-11-25

will be tax free and rent free the cry of pork barrel" will be raised, very likely melted by the owner of an unsuitable building who wants an exhorbitant rent.
 In this time of unemployment hope it will be one of the plans of the new administration to build a suitable building in every city or town where one is needed and tell those who yell pork barrel" to go back to their stys.

To the Editor:

To the Editor:
 Four years ago the Game Com mission sent their boat to Wrangell with the warden and they took me aboard and went down toward Old Town. But the warden saw two young men camped at Pats creek and he stopped the boat and the warden went ashore and all he found in the boys camp was one salt water duck. He brought the boys to town and they were thrown in for 90 days. A great many people in Wrangell claim I was to blame for this but if they knew the facts the game warden was the maR to blame.
 Here is another case. The Game Commission boat was caught shoot ing in Gambler Bay on Admiralty Island in August before there was any open season on birds or animals. Tho same warden was in this deal. TIC ITleS IO get out OI IL Dy SdylnS my dates are wrong. have witness to the time this shooting was done. On top of this they sent the Game Commission boat and crew to WEan- gell on the sixth of November, being Sunday and gave me hear ing at the Court House and gave me an official discharge for being a registered guide and deputy Game Warden.

 Last train up the line went to Kenneeott and returned yesterday. It went to Cordova today. The bridge men are now taking the deck off the bridge because before the next train can get here in the spring, the save the By. a lot of money. They now have all the Mccarthy & Ken necott supplies up there so they don't have to worry. About Nov. 10 Cordova hopes to run another train to Chitina if the weather permits with lot of machinery for Nabesna. The Nabesna folks are hoping that the Ky. can get the train up, as if the machinery can't come until spring, it wouldn't be into Nabesna until summer & that would slow up their business lot If anybody here has any influence, he ought to use it & make good weather.

TO SELL OR NOT
TO SELL zoo IS
MOOT QUESTION

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 80. U.P)-The
next move of County Assessor
James H. johnson in his threat to
sell animals of the San Diego ZOO
for personal property taxes was
awaited today.
The city council ordered police
men to the ZOO with instructions to
throw johnson out" should he at
tempt to carry out his plans. City
Manager A. v. Goeddel also was in
structed to take any legal steps
necessary to protect the animals.
johnson had posted notice of his
intention to sell the animals at
auction to satisfy unpaid taxes of
S6435. He claimed he might be held
personally responsible If the taxes
were not collected.
City attorneys advised the coun-
Gil not TO appropriate $4,000 to pay
the city's share of the tax because
it might recognize Johnson's very
doubtful right to tax the animals y
1t was held that the animals might
be determined to be city property
and as a consequence not taxable
by the county.

Jacob Sanders of Rotterdam, Hol-

DR.. Sanders, speaking before the

cred here from almost every major
country that science has found a

The method by which the sex is
determined DR.. Sanders explained,
consists in the use of Tactic acid
and either bicarbonate Of soda or
other alkaline substance on the ex-

Mortality among male offspring
and unborn children, however, Is

DOOL|TTLE'S FORMER MARK.
SHATTERED BY TWO FLYERS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 80. UP)-Two
flyers who spent a record-breaking
day yesterday in the fastest coast
forecast flights ever made, planned
to show the fans at the national
air races in Cleveland today some
more of their record-smashing
speed
Jimmie Haizlip of st. Louis and
Roscoe Turner of Hollywood both
shattered the flying record set last
year by Jimmy Doolittle. Haiz-
lips elapsed time from Los An
geles to New York was 10 hours,
10 minutes and 48 seconds - So
minutes and 12 seconds under
Doolittle's time.
Twenty-four minutes after Haiz-
lip landed here, Turner brought
his red and yellow plane roaring
out of the west, 80 minutes behind
the new record-holder in elapsed
time, but still ahead of Doolittle's
old mark of II hours and 16 min
uteS.
Both Haizlip and Turner were
flying in the $4,000 Bendix trophy
race from Los Angeles to Cleveland.
Haizlip's earnings, won in an aver
age mans work day, were $4,000 in

FOREIGN WAR VETERANS CLAIM
WAR WEAKENS LEGION RANKS

the organization to join the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars.
The Legion is assured this year
of $4,000 members, which COM
prises it's regular quota, they point
ed out, although last year it had
slightly more than a million men,
bers.
Darold F. Decoe of Sacramento,
national commander, pointed out
that the v. F. w. had increased
its membership 81 per cent in the
last year.
"This is undoubtedly on account
of the attitude taken by the Amer
ican Legion in Detroit in not en-
dorsing cash payment of adjusted
compensation" he said. "The Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars, on the other
hand, have been fighting for the
cash payment for the last four
years."
Resolutions condemning PreSi-
dent Hoovers administration for
its action in using troops to dis
perse the bonus army at Washing
ton, D. c., were among the scores
of proposals affecting veterans
welfare that were ready for intro
duction as the session opened to-
day.
Whether these resolutions would
ever reach a stage where they
would be voted upon by the con-
vention depended upon the resolu-
tions committee. which was to be
appointed by Commander Decoe.

that Smith told him Wardell should
be elected "for the best interests

The former presidential candi-
date replied, Mccarthy said:
"On August "a 1 telegraphed

YOUNG MENJOlJ
MAY BE TRIED
ON new COUNT

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 80. U.p)--
Upon determination of q conplicat-
ed legal situation today depended
whether Harold L. Menjou. adopted
son of Adolph Menjou, actor, again
will face trial on charges growing
out of a fatal automobile accident.
A superior court jury found him
not guilty of drunken driving and
murder, the latter charge making
possible including charges Of first
degree murder, second degree MUIR
der or manslaughter.
Although the iIy returned not
guilty verdicts on both counts OF
drunken driving and murder, Judge
Charles S. Burnell determined by
questioning that the jury intended
its not guilty verdict on the two
charges, but had been unable TO
agree on manslaughter verdict.
Judge Brrnell dismissed the jury
and ordered Meniou returned Sep
tember 20 for n second trial on
manslaughter charges. In view OF
the technical verdict OF not guilty,
court attaches said the legal situa-
ton was without precedent IN local
courts, and that new law might be
created before the case Is finally
settled.
Menjou was arrested after his au-
tomobile overturned, fatally inIur-
ing Marjorie Gauthier, i6, who was
riding with him.

additional for breaking Doolittle's
record.
Turner and Haizlip both piloted
tiny, bulletlike planes designed by
Jimmy Wedell of Patterson, La,
and Harry Williams of New Or
leans, and powered by Wasp Junior
motors.
Wedell, also an entrant In the
Bendix race, won second place with
faster elapsed time for the Los
Angeles Cleveland distance than
Turner. He also flew one of his
own planes.
Haizlip took-off at Los Angeles
at GAS a. m. tEST). Within five
minutes he was 5000 feet. His
white and black streamlined plane
shot along at 270 miles an hour
over the Grand Canyon. At noon
he passed over the Missouri river
after refueling at Goodland, Kans.
At Lansing, ILL.,, he took on 130
gallons of gasoline in five minutes.
He streaked over Cleveland in mid
afternoon.
After crossing the finish line at
Cleveland he pushed on and an
hour before dusk, he sighted the
Atlantic. Haizlip overshot Floyd
Bennett field. He banked and
landed at 100 miles an hour at

Oil-spattered, his face black and
grimy, the diminutive four foot IL
inch flyer crawled out of the cock
pit grinning.
Am I the first one in?" he asked
as a crowd of about 1000 persons
cheered.
He grinned happily when assured
he was.
Marguerite Clark Williams, movie
star of Is years ago and wife of tfie
co-designer of the plane, presented
Haizlip with bouquet.
"It's nice to be with people
again." Haizlip said. "It was awful
lonesome over the canyons. 1t used
to take them a year or so to cross
this continent in covered wagons.
I wish some of those old boys could
see my airplane."
Then there was roar overhead
and Turner shot down onto the
field. Haizlip hurried out to greet
him. Turner, a large man, laughed

protest against the issuance of
scrip by the Six Companies, build
ers of the dam, in part payment
OF employees.
"This practice should be stopped
as un-American. 1t is a thor
oughly bad practice" he said.

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 80. U.P)-.
Prospects of national membership
"war" between the Veterans of
Foreign Wars and the American
Legion loomed here today as the
result of a decision by the v. F.
w. to press its drive for cash pay
ment of the soldiers bonus.
Resolutions to continue the Or
ganizations campaign i'll congress
were introduced following an ad-
dress of Congressman Wright T..
Patman of Texas, declaring that
it was "up to the veterans" to keep
the question of adjusted compen-
sation alive.
Reports that many posts Of the
American Legion had voluntarily
transferred to the Veterans of For
eign Wars as complete units were
given at an executive session of de-
partment commanders at the con-
vention here.
This trend, they explained, was
unquestionably due to the bonus
stand. High officials of the v.
F. w. denied that any campaign
to recruit posts or members from
the American Legion was under
way, but declared I'VE can't pre-
vent veterans from changing over
of their own free will"
