JACKSONVILLE, Fla, June 28-
Three congressional races and contest
for the governorship. in addition to sew
eral lesser State offices, will be decided
today in Florida's second Democratic

Chief interest of voters centered on
the outcome of the races for Governor

In the other two congressional con-
tests j. Hardin Peterson faced Herbert

The second primary campaign has
been enlivened by discovery of alleged

ILLS OF EUROPE
TO Be DIAGNOSED
World Thinkers Called for
Session in Rome That Will
Taboo Politics.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, June pa thorough ex-
animation of the subject Europe" Is
to be made here in November in an
effort, from a strictly intellectual view
point, to diagnose her ailments and
prescribe cure
The case is considered so extraor-
dinary that 1t has interested the Royal
Academy of Italy and prompted its
president, Senator Guglielmo Marconi.
to call an international meeting of
thinking men, the sum of whose opin-
ions, however claShing, may give rise
to solution.
That Europe's position as a guiding
force for world civilization Is beset by
ever-increasing difficulties is quite
frankly stated in the announcement OF
the meeting, just published.
Her authority today is challenged on
all fronts and openly denied on some,
statement signed by Marconi and Wit
torio Scialoja, in charge of organizing
the meeting, admits. New civiliza-
tions oppose her." 1t says. She is no
longer alone in giving expression and
style to human life"
Thought and Ideas"
In seeking a way out the academy
garded first as one of thought and
IDEAS" not yet having entered the con-
cretely political phase.
1T is necessary to throw light on
the substantially spiritual foundation
of the present European crisis" say
Marconi and Scialoja. Then the sub
ject Europe must be defined, as we'll as
the past and present factors of her
civilization and the internal and extra
European causes of her situation.
THE consequences to be expected
can be thus judged and there can be
found, if not the solution of her urgent
questions, then at least the direction in
which it should be sought.
In short 1t is necessary to clarity or
possibly weld a European consciousness
of the European problem. 1t is a task
that tomorrow will be political, but is
today primarily intellectual"
If the convention finds way to
create new European order to replace
the internal struggles so destructive OF
the necessary quality of solidarity, il
will have merited the purpose for which
say.
More in detail, they express hope that
the meeting will cause Europe, at least
in her dominant and responsible
spheres, to recover consciousness OF
herself and her destinies and missions.
Blame Largely on Europe"
They place large part of the blame
for her situation on Europe's own
shoulders. She has contributed to it,
they declare, by a submissive un-
certainty" of the value of her civiliza-
ton. by auto-criticism in regard to the
real consistence and legitimacy of her
historic rights, and by the violent rup-
ture of her equilibrium through the
great war, followed by increased politi-
cal-territorial division.

CONSTITUTION PLAN
| FOR INDIA WEIGHED
Decision on Communal Issue
to Precede ParIeys With
All Groups.
Nv the Associated prarr

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 28.-A comprehensive
plan for q future constitution Of India,
embodying both the aspects of fedora
ton and provincial autonomy, will soon
be presented in bill to Parliament, Sir
Samuel Hoare, secretary of India, an
nounced today.
In detailing the steps preliminary to
the bills introduction, Sir Samuel eX-
pressed on behalf of the government
the opinion that settlement of the out
standing questions in India would only
be delayed by formal sessions OF large
bodies like the round-table conference.
It was therefore proposed to reach a
decision on the communal question first,
he said Then, If the units concerned
would give adequate assurance that they
were prepared to federate, and If the
interests which need safeguarding were
adequately protected, definite proposals
would be submitted by the cabinet to Sc
lect committees Of the Lords and the
House Of Commons.
The committees would hear repre-
sentatives of Indian opinion to insure
that the proposals reflected sufficiently
the views of the country. When the COM
mittees reported satisfaction with the
provisions these would be embodied in a
bill to be presented for full debate in
Parliament, he explained.

WRANGELL SCHOOL BUDGET SHOWS
ADMINISTRATION COSTS TO Be LOW

months term of school, while
Petersburg has a nine-months'
term.
Thhd, Wrangell has the expense
of an extra teacher for the Native
room. So far as numbers of chill
dren are concerned, the Natives
could be Accommodated with the
white children, at no extra cost.
But the town has expressed itself
in no uncertain terms that it
wants the separate room.
To meet the demands of citizens,
the new schoolhouse was built with
separate class, toilet and wash
rooms for the Natives The annual
extra cost to the town for the
maintenance of the Native room is
approximately S1,500. Incidentally,
and quite apart from the merits of
the case, Wrangell is the only
town in Alaska which bears the
cost of its Native school. In all
other towns the Native education
cost is borne in a separate school
by the Federal government through
the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
When the cost of new equipment
and the cost OF the Native room Is
deducted from the 1930-31 cost, it
is found that $21,301.26 was the
cost of a ten-months' term in Wran-
CELL as compared to Petersburg's
cost of $25,175.47 for a nine
months term.
The cost of the Wrangell school
for 1882 will be $4,000 in
Guiding the cost for the Native
room.

RECONSTRUCTION EFFORTS
TO RESTORE CONFIDENCE

A nationwide group of citizens
working for the restoration of pub
lie confidence and return of idle
money into circulation, is known
as the Citizens Reconstruction Or
ganization.
The movement is non-partisan
and was initiated as one step in
the whole process of reconstruction.
Its members are from every politi-
cal party, bonded together in a
common cause that of putting
currency back to work at the ear
Hest possible moment. 1t is war
on depression, which calls for the
same united front that any
other national emergency demands.

movement may examine literature

CITY OFFICERS
TO BE- ELECTED
NEXT TUESDAY

F. S. Barnes, president OF the
Wrangell Packing Company whose
name was placed in nomination for
mayor at the recent city caucus,
is not making a public statement as
to his candidacy, saying that if his
past record will not elect him
to office nothing that he would say
could do so. He makes no promises
except that if elected he will do
all in his power to cut city admin
istration costs in every possible
way.
Mr.. Barnes began signing pay
checks at the Lake Bay cannery
% years ago. Since that time over
one million dollars in pay checks
drawn by him have come directly
to Wrangell.
Wrangell citizens conversant
perience with rough seas and
with the Alaska salmon Gamer S
problems, feel that Mr.. Barnes eX-
stormy weather, will be invaluable
in filling the office of mayor OF
WrangeI, on the premise that a
few troubles, more or less, are all
in the days work to a cannery-
man.
Councilmen Hanford and Sor-
set are too valuable on the council
for the town to retire in these
troublous times. Choice OF the
third member of the council lies
between F. Angerman and George
Sumption, both good men, but with
Mr.. sumption perhaps having the
advantage because of his longer
residence and wider acquaintance.
Mrs. NJ o. Johnson and E. A.
Lindman are opposed in the school
board election. Mrs. Johnson says
she prefers opposition, as otherwise
it means that a candidate is elect
ed by the person who placed him in
nomination. Mr.. Lindman has TAX
en- an active interest in schools for
many years.
