Beg, president of the Peril Straits Packing Company and also president of the Alaska Southern Airways, op- erating between Southeastern Alaska points.
 In Washington to attend the hear ings on the fisheries code, MT. Beg tells ho wit will be easily. possible to be in Nome on the third day after leaving New York, travelling only over established commercial air lines. Let us say a person Nomeward-
 bound steps into a plane Monday
 morning at New York. In "A hours,
 or slightly less, he will have arrived in Seattle. Incidentally, he need do no more night travelling to complete 1 his trip on. schedule. From Seattle
 he flies to Juneau, a trip of about nine hours. Tuesday night he re- mains in Juneau, and bright and
 early Wednesday morning he is og for Fairbanks. With the fast planes
 which will be in service, it should not take more than six hours for that leg of the flight and then he can continue directly to Nome, arriving there Wednesday evening.
 This will be made possible, MT. Bez says, when Alaska Southern Airways inaugurates regular service next May between Seattle and Juneau and other Southeastern cities. It is un- derstood that similar services will also be provided between Juneau and Fairbanks, and, of course, several several lines operate from Fairbanks to Nome.

The fisheries industry, set. Thurs, day for the first time, in the audi torium, of the National Museum, to consider master. code under the Ma tional Recovery. Administration.
 Opinion is still split as to the ne cessity for such a. code-
 Some packers especially. the larger ones. would rather be placed under the National Gamers Association code The smaller packers are almost a. unit in believing that separate code for fisheries should be drawn, to he followed by other codes for the several. classes, such as salmon, hal ihutr herring. etc.
 This was a meeting of the industry Dfoperv hut. representatives of lahor were allowed to sit in. Unfortunately. west coast labor was very, poorly rep resented, and Alaska labor not at all while fishermen on the Atlantic coast had sizeahle delegations present.

 When Baldwin concluded his ex. planation his amendment was adopted.
 So far not a democrat has spok- en. When Baldwin sat down Rep resentative Richard J. Goodman West Hartford republican who was a member of the governors con- mission to reccomend liquor con- trol bill, offered an amendment to the house beer Dill.
 The amendment, in effect, would throw out the house beer bill and substitute for 1t the governors pro posed bill with certain changes. Goodman attacked the local con- trol measure.
 "In framing the central control bill we considered the idea of a state dispensary systom and re- 1ected 1t because 1t seemed to of- fer an opening for graft" he said. 'We sought a system that would remove liquor as far as possible from graft and politics"
 The local control bill, Goodman charges, does not take liquor out of politics. but actually puts 1t in deeper.
 Any ex-convict from another state could come to Connecticut and a town clerk would have to issue him a permit without question" he said. Under this bill Connecticut would be the dumping ground for all the riff-raff of every state."

 Captain Donovan cautioned the top sergeants about being too strict. They exercised their fabu- lous profanity only when a hap less recruit lighted cigarette. Smoking was taboo because of the danger of fire.

NEW ENGLAND RIVERS

Boston. April 18.-(UP)-Fed by intermittent rain and thawing snow, New England's rivers rose alarmingly overnight. inundating lowlands and menacing lives and property.
 The great Vermont flood of 1927 in which 125 persons perished and millions of dollars of damage oc- cured was recalled today as resi- dents of four states prepared to combat the encroaching waters of swollen streams.
 Hope was held that a grave flood situation might yet be avert ed. but a weather forecast of con- tfnued warmth and occasional rain carried little prospect of any imme- diate relief.
 Already overfiowing their banks at some points were the Connecti- cut, Merrimack. Winooski. Sudbury and Ipswich rivers, with other streams swelling toward dangerous levels.
 Chief danger spots early today appeared to be White River Junc- ton, Vt. Woodsvilie and Concord, N. IT., and Springfield and Law renee, Mass.

Official Number Is Three, But Other Reports Say 6 Student and Three Police Killed

Havana, April 1s-(UP) Re ports of deaths mounting into scores calculated through Havana today as clashes between police and student opponents of the re- gime of President Machado con- tinued, but 1t was impossible to confirm the rumors.
 Oppositionist students through out Havana disappeared into sec- ret hiding places as the police search for agitators was pressed, and as a result there was no way of telling which ones were missing because they had been arrested or shot, and which had gone into seclusion for their own protection. Official, the death list stood at a total of three for the recent days of intense agitation against Mach ado, but reports with some degree of sugstantiation were that at least six students and three police had been killed.
