Act Of Injustice
Is Retort by Ford

Detroit. Oct. N.-(P)-The Ford
Motor Co., Friday described as IAN
act Of injustice" the statement Of
Hugh 8. johnson, recovery admin
istrator that he would turn the
case over to the attorney general"
II Henry Ford fails to submit fig
ures requested by the National
Automobile Chamber Of Commerce,
under the terms Of the NRA auto
code.
The Ford company statement
read:
"Mr. Johnsons vocabulary has
cut him down again. Before as
suming the airs OF q dictator, he
should fortify himself with evi-
dence that Henry Ford has refused
compliance with government re-
quireinents.
1.-THE public has known the Ford
Motor company for 80 years and
is not dependent on Mr.. johnson
for information concerning it.
1T is an act OF injustice for
Mr.. johnson to intimate that any
refusal has been made Of any pro-
per demand on the Ford Motor
Co.. especially since Mr.. johnson
knows that even his original sign
ers have not had time to file their
reports. which he charges this
company with refusing.
I'VE suggest q code Of fair pub
licity for Mr.. Johnson's inter-
views"

Former Nebraska Governor
Says It Is a Crime Not to
Aid Droutk Area

Washington, Oct. 27.-P)-Bsckers
of the Missouri river diversion pro-
gram in North and South Dakota
have announced their $65. .000, 900
project has the approval and prom
ised support Of Arthur J. Weaver,
proponent of the Fort Peck. Mon-
tana. reservoir for Missouri river
flood control.
They quoted Weaver, former gov
ernor of Nebraska, as saying 1T Is
crime not to use Missouri flood
waters to restore subsurface water
levels in the DakotaS, as contem-
plated in the diversion program. Cost
of the project, they said he assured
them, was of secondary importance
in view Of its promised benefit to
drought stricken farm areas In the
two states and Minnesota.
With $25,O00,000 already allotted
from public works funds for the Fort
Peck project. it has been viewed as q
possible obstacle to acceptance by
the administration of the diversion
program which involved construction
Of q dam at Garrison, North Dakota,
down the river from Fort Peck.
Weaver is to confer Monday With
diversion proponents, including Frank
Murphy, regional public works ad-
wiser, and group Of prominent
North Dakotans.

 PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, D. C., April IT, Rough seas lie just ahead on Pres ident Roosevelt'S revolutionary course thru the depression. Firs! signs of the approaching storm ap- peared from source entirely un- president, from Henry Hartman, peSident of the United States Chamber of Commerce who sent to the entire membership of the chamber, a letter of strong protest against the administrations far reaching Muscle Shoals program.
 He forgot to mention that he has been a private power executive for years, it was pointed out.
 He advised the members Of the government power project that the power project was in direct conflict with the long standing policies of the chamber, therefore should be abandoned.
 In New York the Herald editor ially warned that the truce is near an end.
 The attacks came just as Pres ident Roosevelt was preparing to launch into new experiments ot the broadest social significance.
 He is expected soon to propose a program of public works running into several billions of dollars to finance replacement of city slums, elimination. of grade crossings, de- velopment of sewerage systems for smaller communities and other de- velopments expected to improve the standard of living while at the same time, reemploying millions of men and creating a government financed market for commodities from steel to shoes.
 He is also expected to propose to Congress the setting up ot a national cor -ordinator for the railroads. Thru the Secretary o1 Labor, the administration Is seek ing to expand the present i've day week bill pointing toward creation of wage boards for var ious industries which would regu- late working hours and minimum wage except wheer fixed by union contracts.

SOME 75 AMENDMENTS BE RECOMMENDED FOR
 ALASKA BEER BILL

JUNEAU. April 17,-The Senate Judiciary committee has about completed its study of beer legisla- tion and some 75 amendments are to be recommended by it, largely for clarification purposes. But one change, it was said, will likely be made: this would raise the beer parlOr license to $250 and limit it's operations to the sale of beer only and would restrict cigar stores and similar places to retail licenses un- der which beer may be sold in bot ties and not for consumption on the premises.
 The House unanimously passed the Holman bill imposing graduat- ed taxes on all fish taken in traps exempting pinks up to 75,00C and reds to 50,000. Only one amend ment was made by the House to the original bill. This fixed the rate on the take of reds from 50,- 900 to 75,000 at $50 and 75.000 to 150,000 at $40 per 1000.
 Lingo introduced measure re- quiring persons receiving old age allowance to make a new applica- tlon every two years. This is in- tended to give the Territory a check on recipients.
 BaranOvich introduced a meas ure requiring 10 days to elapse be- tween call for bids on public works and opening of such bids.
 Shattuck introduced a measure in the Senate creating the Pioneer Home Building Commission com posed of the Governor, Highway Engineer and the Superintendent of the Pioneer Home which Is au- thcrized to sell bonds in the Home building account and apply the proceeds to immediate construc- tion of the new institution at Sit ka.
 A memorial was introduced in the Senate listing many public building projects for inclusion on the Roosevelt'S emergency public construction program including buildings at Ketchikan and Anch- orage, flood control at Seward, Valdez, Hyder and Egegik rapids; improvements and completion Of Alaska roads including the discuss ed line between Anchorage and Portage Bay, Fairbanks-Livengood highway, Yukon n-Kuskokwim high way, and the International high way from Richardson highway up the Panama river to the Canadian border and other lesser works which were urged to be included
 The Senate passed the BragaW measure to appropriate $3,0oO for Territorial Chamber of Commerce.
