 The President told the nation of his general recovery policies and defended his program with the con- fident assertion, "We are on our way Our troubles will not be over to- morrow but we are on our way and headed in the right direction"
 His talk seemed designed mainly for the dissatisfied farm population. though he made no reference to the pending strikes in the farm areas He assured the farmers that their interest would be advanced if not in one way, then in another,
 
 had increased he was not satisfied and would continue steps to increase price of farm commodities.
 As to revaluation of the dollar. the President said that would be done after the restoration of the price level, and promised mainte- nance of Government credit and sound currency.
 He announced that in a change of administration tactics he had author i7ed the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to buy gold newly min ed in the United States at prices to be determined from time to time after consultation with the Secre- ary of the Treasury Whenever the necessary end is in view" he de- clared, i've shall also buy and sell gold on the world market, in our program of managed currency"
 NRA chiselers, big and little. were soundly rapped. The clerk in a store who explained the increase in price of a cotton shirt from $1.50 to $2.50 as due to the tax to meet the cost of blowing under cotton acreage, was liar, he said, as the pound of cotton in a shirt was in- creased in price just four and one half cents by reason of the cotton reduction cost

 The Court held that the lapse of time between the quarrel and the stabbing indicated that the Captain considered the incident clos ed before he was stabbed, therefore, death was ac"idental in the sense that Davis did not provoke the stabbing.

TORONTO PRESS RUNS FRONT
 PAGE STORY WRANGELL MAN

A recent issue of the Toronto Globe contained a front page story concerning Staff Captain Acton of Wrangeli, which in part follows:
 ''The gold eagle surmounting the ensign decorating the cap worn by staff Captain Joseph Acton, dele gate from Alaska attending the Sal vation Army Congress, meeting here, is arousing much comment Although serving under the Canadian head quarters territory, Staff Captain Acton's work in Alaska is entirely in United States territory. And the United States Salvation Army forces, although approached by Canadian Army officials, decline to take over the work, expressing willingness to leave it under Canadian control. The only request made by United States Army authorities is that the golden crown-which is repre- sentative of the crown awarded Christians in the hereafter for faithful service and is not a Bri- tish Imperial symbolic replaced by the eagle.
 Staff Captain Acton's Alaskan territory stretches over a coastline of 2.OOO miles, and is entirely among the Indians, a large percent age of the Army officers under his supervision being natives. The h. dians of Alaska, who have become Christians, he claimed, are evangel- izing their own people
 "A striking evidence of the in- 'luence of the Army in Alaska was suggested in the story told by Staff Captain Acton of the Army Hall re- gently built in an Alaskan village. Totem poles, which represented the foundation and traditions of the life known before the Indians came un- der Christian influence were sawed down and used as pillars upon which the Army hall was built.
 Progress in civilization is noted throughout Alaska and the Village of Metlakatla has recently erected a community hall at a cost of $50,- 900. Fifty per cent of the homes with their 500 population are equip ped with bathrooms. Of the twenty eight Salvation Army citadels erect ed in Alaska, twenty-seven are ab- solutely free of any debt
 Staff Captain Acton's service in Alaska is far from monotonous, as his extensive travelling is virtually all by water-canoe, gasboat and steamer"

Wraneell Takes Steps
 Public Works Projects

Dr. Phillip S. Smith, public works administrator for Alaska, conferred with Mayor Thomas Dalgity and City Clerk L. B. Chisholm regarding work relief projects desired by Wrangell, while the Northwestern, on which he was a passenger. was in port Tuesday morning.
 At a special council meeting last week the council determined to cen ter on two projects, improvement of the city water works and sewer sys- tems and construction of bulkhead along Front street.
 Before making application for government loans for these projects, the council. desiring to proceed eau tiously and not to involve the city Juneau engineer asking what he would charge to make a survey of the projects to determine the ap- proximate cost of such improve ments.
 For these work relief projects throughout the nation the govern ment on recommendation of the public works administrator of the district, gives outright 30 percent of the cost of the projects and loans the remaining 70 percent on long term notes at four per cent inter- est
 This is a part of the adminis- trations recovery program and is designed to furnish employment for needy men out of work.
