International Highway

The Delegate is now engaged ir
formulating public works pro-
gram for Alaska for presentation
to the administrator of the public
works program. He is assembling
every legitimate project, rejecting
at the same time any suggestion of
pork barrelism" which might en-
danger the entire program.
Most important project in the
list, and at the same time the one
most important to the Territory, is
the American section of the Inter
national Highway. AS the public
works bill has not received final
congressional approval, and no ad-
ministrator has yet been appointed,
it is too early to say what consid-
GRAFTON the highway proposal will
receive but every argument in its
favor will be presented.
Paramount in the presentation
will be the report of the Interna
tional Highway Commission. The
report has been written, edited and
now is ready for publication. A snag
was encountered for a while when

Alaska Protected

The National Recovery Act, III
which is incorporated the Public
Works Act, passed the Senate with
Alaska fully protected as regards
highway appropriations. AS orig
inally drawn, there was no ques-
ton but that other kinds of pub
lie works could be carried on there.
The highway section, however, was
a matter of grave doubt. The Dele
gate secured the cooperation of sew
eral senators and the bill as passed
by the Senate makes it possible for
roads in Alaska to be constructed.
repaired or improved from public
works appropriations, and it is not
thought likely that this section
will be changed in conference.

Fairer Treatment Sought


The economy program for time
came close to leaving the Fourth
Division Court without employees.
Fund c, out of which the chief
deputy clerk of court, the deputy
clerk and the court reporter are
ordinarily paid, became exhausted
and when Judge E. Coke Hill ad-
vised the Department of Justice of
that fact he was instructed to fur
Tough those employees for an in
definite period. TO say the least, it
would be rather difficult for the
court to function under those cir
cumstances, as only the judge and
the clerk would be left to carry on.
The Delegate interceded with the
department and was given assur-
ance that arrangements would be
made for payment of May and June
salaries and a study would be made
to evolve some plan for the coming
fiscal year.
A flat cut of 25 per cent has
been made in the appropriation OF
the Justice department for next
year and budget officers are en-
countering many difficulties in re-
ducing expenses by that amount In
this connection it may be said that
Delegate Dimond will, not only con-
tinue to seek fairer treatment for
Federal employees in Alaska in the
matter of pay in view of the higher
living costs there, but he will resist
to the best of his ability efforts to
reduce personnel below the point
essential to efficient service.

CHAS. RICHARDSON PASSES
AWAY FROM HEART DISEASE

A funeral service at the grave
was conducted Monday morning by
Staff Captain J. Acton and Mrs.
Acton, for Charles Richardson, who
died Sunday, June 16. The pail
bearers were p. l.. Stump, Chas.
Powers, T. J. Case, Fred Choquette
and E. A. Lindman.
Mr.. Richardson had been a fish
erman in Wrangell district for the
past twenty years. When failing
health a few years ago made it
impossible for him to make a liv-
ing, he was admitted to the Pho
neers Home at Sitka. He left the
Home last year and returned to
Wrangell with F. E. Gingrass with
whom he lived for a time.
For some time he has occupied a
cabin ON Wrangell Highway. Last
month he was picked up on the
road in an unconscious condition
from a heart seizure. He was taken
to Wrangell General Hospital where
ne was cared for until his death
Sunday morning.
A search of his effects revealed
no trace of relatives except one
short letter from a sister in Michi-
gan written in 1928, who comment
ed on the fact that he was then
55 years of age.

PUGILIST ESCAPES FROM
JAIL TO GO ON HONEYMOON

Eighteen hours after having been
sentenced for burglary to three
years imprisonment in the federal
penitentiary on McNeil's Island
Hal Fernandez, pugilist, escaped
last week from jail at Anchorage
to go on his honeymoon. He had
been allowed a temporary parole to
marry Lucille Rogers, 10 years old,
part Indian. Immediately after the
ceremony, the bridegroom was re-
turned to jail. Fernandez and Rob
ert Names, also sentenced for the
same term on the same charge, both
having been involved in the theft
of groceries from a warehouse last
winter, dug their way through the
thin concrete floor of the Jail. They
are thought to have left Anchor
age by boat but no funds being
available in the marshals office,
extensive search can not be made
and they are still at large.

 New York, Jan 26.-(UP)--ln. auguratlnH n new procedure tn Yale football, Reggie Root, tho Ells' practical new coach, has started to mould blue eleven which must hAvo the winner power In autumn to keep Yale's athletic ledRers out of the rcd.
 One hundred and three varsity asplrants were scheduled to begin daily drills today In Payne Whit noy gymnasium at New Haven to flt them for q rigorous campaign.
 This campaign must Do more successful than tho 1889 Yale sea- son which resulted in two victories three ties and two defeats---a cam. palgn which saw Yalo's football at. tendance suffer one of the seasons worst slumps, about 90 per cent, probably more than 70 DOT cent.
 One Year TryOut
 If young Root doesn't boot tho Yale varsity out of It's 1889 dol. drums, ho probably will be back t034.
 But Reggie may be successful because he's vory shrewd and practical fellow, ono of the most business-llko chaps who could have boen selected to succeed pr Nal Stevens, now coaching the freshmen, He's tho sort of realist needed In these depression times to turn out a winning and money earning cloven.
 For one thing Reggie has a kitchen sink philosophy of foot. bal. He erystaliZed thls philos- ophy whilo washing dishes as q freshman In q Now Haven restau- rant, On tho day of his appoint mont as Yale's head coach, Reggie told this writor;
 "Footbnll games are like dishes you don't want to drop many"
 Moreover, Root combines his Pm Beta Kappa brains with a sales. mans personality. He's tho chap who went down to Mexico throc or four years ago and induced uni- vorsltv students there to 70 in for football instead of revolutions,
