PLAN WATER PLANE BASE

A project is under consideration in Anchorage for utilizing an old channel near the aviation field for creating water landing field for airplanes. This channel may be filled by a ditch from Chester Creek and the lake thus created, would be of sufficient size to ac- commodate the largest amphibian plane. Thus, instead of the neces- sity of travelling four miles to Lake Spenard to take off on pontoon equipped planes, the distance would be reduced to a mile from the cen ter of the city

WOLVES ARE PREY|NG
 0N REINDEER HERDS

Hunters and trappers returning to Unalakleet from the tundra cov- cred valleys between Norton Sound and the Yukon River report that wolves are preying on reindeer herds in that region, evidenced by innumerable dead carcaSSeS found in different and widely separated sections there.
 Since reindeer command such a small price at the present time, the owners permit the animals to graze without ample protection against predators Tn the absence of herds men, the deer are falling easy prey to the wolves.
 Commenting on the situation, an oldtime Alaska trapper said: "A few more wolves and a pack or two of coyotes, the reindeer problem will solve itself"

FIRE CHIEF CEASES BLAZE ON DUMP WAGON
 THRU C|TY'S ALLEYS

Tom Bevers, chief of the Anchor age Fire Department, enjoys the distinction of being the first man to run down a fleeing fire and ex- tinguishing it.
 And all because the garbage man happened to dump can of live coal ashes into his vehicle, con- taining inflammable rubbish.
 According to reports, Tom was sitting at fire headquarters when he saw the garbage wagon coming down the alley on run. He was experimenting the driver on his consideration in bringing a fire to headquarters instead of ringing an alarm when the garbage wagon, flaming like the mouth of Moloch, went by in a blaze of glory.
 Hey" yelled Tom, 'this is the spot; get onto it!"
 But the driver had bethought him of a pool of water occasioned by melting snow and had no time for exchanging the compliments of the day with even a traffic police man. Then it was that Tom gave chase to the ambulating fire and finally caught up with it.
 For the luvamike, the next time you cook up a flame, carry a chart" suggested Tom.
 Chart! Why was racing that fire to save the seat of these new overalls I just bought" said the driver If I'd struck deep drift of snow, it'd cotched me sure"
 There was no answering such an argument.

7 TECHNOCRATS {

ATTACKS
Energy Survey Chief Answers
Criticisms of BabSon
and Many Others

NEW YORK, Dec. % QN.S),
Over 1000 kilograms of congratu.
lation and denunciation have
been received by technocrats at
Columbia University during the
past two days.
In consequence Of the furore
and interest in democracy, the
new form of government, Howard
Scott, director of the energy sur
vey of North America, today will
give his first formal interview.
He is expected to answer some
of the more pointed criticisms
and denunciationS, such as those
directed at him and his statistical
data by Roger w. BabSon, the
economist, and the United States
Institute of Textile Research.
"Price System Smashed"
In an official article on tech
nocracy prepared under SCOTS
direction and published in the
current issue of Harper's maga-
zine, the technocratS flatly charged
that modern induStry's chief prod
uct was unemployment, because
business prosperity and con-
sumption depended on the amount
of salaries received by workers.
This assertion that technologi-
cal development in industry had
smashed the price system has
evoked bitter attacks by some
Of the chief apologists for the
present system of world economy.
100 At Work on Survey
In studies now being COM
pleted, the technocrats will show
that the rate of growth of most
of the basic industries of this
country was checked as long ago
as 1920 and that further at
tempts to expand them under
the price system has been or
will be financially ruinous, Prof.
Walter Rautenstraugh, of Colum-
bia, said today.
Prof. Rautenstraugh, in whose
department of industrial engi.
neering about 100 men are now
at work completing the energy
survey studies, said the techno-
Gratis will finish their work next
March or April and present their
findings to the economists and
sociologists of the world in books

Amazement that Gov. A. Harry

Burns Will Return
To Family Today

NEWARK, N. j., Dec. %
QN.S0 Free of the shadow of
a Georgia prison camp and chain
gang, Robert Elliott Burns today
was expected to join members Of
his family at Palisades, N. j., to
celebrate his deliverance.
Burns, whose plight aroused a
nationwide storm of interest and
sympathy, was in seclusion fol
lowing refusal of Gov. A. Harry
Moore to extradite him to the
southern State after a dramatic
four-hour hearing at Trenton yes
terday afternoon.
Last steps to restore Burns to
the freedom he had Surrepti-
tiously enjoyed for two years were
taken last night shortly after
Governor Moore handed down
his ruling.
j ige Releases Him
Accompanied by Sheriff Batch
elor and Under-sheriff Alfred c..
Walker, the fugitive-no-longer
returned to Essex county Jail
here, gathered up a few personal
belongings, and left with the
officials.
He was taken to the private
office of Police Judge Harold
Simandl. There the sheriff in
formed Judge Simandl Of Gov
ernor Moore'S refusal to grant
extradition. The judge promptly
made out formal discharge and
Bachelor released Burns.
Burns mother, Mrs. Catherine
Burns; his brother. the Rev. Vim
cent, and the latter's wife went to
their home at Palisades. Burns
did not accompany them, but it
was intimated he would join them
sometime today for a family re-
union.
Mrs. Burns said she would re-
main at PaliSade a few days to
rest, then return to the home of
a daughter at Pittsfield, Mass.
There was no indication what
action Georgia authorities would
take should Burns be eXtradited
to New York, where an indict-
ment for forgery still lies against
him.

lC Onttnued rom rage ~
exchange views on matters of
large and binding policy"
The exchanges between the
President and the President-elect
began last Saturday night, with
Mr.. Hoover dispatching a lengthy
telegram in which he pointed
out that both we're agreed that
1t is the duty of the United
States to survey and exchange
views on the debts with various
individual debtors.
Such being the case, Mr..
Hoover said, it was necessary to
consider the character of the
machinery erected for this
purpose.
Outside of Diplomacy
The President then outlined
to Governor Roosevelt essentially
what he later proposed in his
message to Congress, j. e., that
the debts question the economic
conference, and the question OF
diSarmaments are more or less
interlocking, and that the United
States should be represented in
all these affairs by "a strong
delegation"
Mr.. Hoover differed with
Governor Roosevelt's policy of
dealing with debts through ordi-
nary channels of diplomacy.
The message said:
"Such problems as the ex-
change Of views in respect to
debts cannot be accomplished in
satisfactory manner through the
ordinary routine of diplomatic
contacts The routine ma
chinery Of diplomacy neither
affords the type Of men re-
quired nor can they give the
time from other duties which
such discussions require"
After pointing out that "we
must not change our established
policy Of dealing with each debtor
separately" Mr.. Hoover declared
the problems were so interlocked
as to require a strong delegation.
He telegraphed:
The successful outcome of
the economic conference will be
greatly furthered if the debt
problems can be satisfactorily
advanced before that confer
ence."
Hoover Sees Urgency
If it were not for the urgency
Of the situation, he said, lit would
be- normal to allow the whole mat
ter to rest until after the change
Of administration, but in the
emergency such as exists at the
moment, I would be neglectful of
my duty if I did not facilitate in
every way the earliest possible
dealing with these questions
His telegram concluded.
81 hall be informing the
Congress of the economic situa-
tiOn and of the deSirability Of
the above proposed machinery
for dealing with these confer

you could Join with me in the

believe there would be no
difficulty in agreeing upon an
adequate representation for the
purpose. In such selection the
first concern would be the Sc
lection of a chairman for the
delegation.
After pondering Mr.. Hoover's
telegram over the weekend, Gov
ernor Roosevelt replied in a
lengthy message, timed at $50
O'Clock Monday night.
For Separate Identity
In his reply he differed with
Mr.. Hoover's theory that inter
twined. Governor Roosevelt rec
ognized "a relationship, but not
an identity" and he could not
go along at all with Mr.. Hoover'S
idea that the American negotiat-
ing personnel on all three prob
lens should be the same.
