THE NlUKLUK TRAIL aY
BY E.2L. BARTLETT,

WASHINGTON. July 15, Just fsftre this rews letter was sent to press announcement was made of initial allotments under the public works act.
 A substantial sum was allotted to Alaska out of the first alloc- ation of $1l5,513,61O.
 One million dollars is to be ad- vaneed to the Alaska Road Com mission for construction of roads and S96,000 for construction and improvement of air fields.
 In addition, $21O.0OS is allotted for reconditioning the Alaska Rail- road.
 It is expected the money will be made available and the nature of the work to be undertaken by the A. R. c. and by the railroad means that the greater pagt of every dol lar expended will go to labor.
 Delegate Dimond is highly pleas- ed that Alaska was included in the political subdivision receiving initial grants His efforts to that end have been unremitting. Nat urally he would have desired the allotments made earlier consider ing the shortness of the Alaska working season but while the pub lie works administration set-up was being perfected 1t was impossible to secure consideration for the Terr-

strategic position with reference to the Orient both by land and by air, together with the fact that is is the Nations greatest natural scenic playground, its unexplorpd valleys, it's unfrequented ranges present problems for a pioneer people to. solve and having solved them to reap the benefits thereof. Alaska today offers to it's home folks advantages and opportunities they can hardly hope to find else-= where.

litory ahead other parts of the country. This allocation, however,
 comes as splendid news at time Iwhen it was feaerd aportionment
 would be made at such late date Ithat no work could be commenced in Alaska this season.
 Delegate Dimond is very sens
 Ible of the fact that all sections of ahe Territory will not be benefited lby allotments for the A. R. c. and lthet railroad.
 Hisa foreeful pleas for early mon ey grants have embraced the en- tire. range, of public works in Ala l ska and now that funds have Istarted to flow out of the national treasury it is hoped that further allocation will soon be made.
 Horace M. Albright, retiring di- rector of the National Park Ser vice, informed Delegate Dimond that there is no doubt but that $250,00O will soon be made avail able for extension of that Mt. Mo Kinley Park road to Wonder Lake.
 Further good news came this morning when pr. w. Carson Ryan, director of education for the Office of Indian Affairs, ann ounced at this time for construc- tion projects in Alaska. Fifty thousand dollars of that amount will be made immediately avail able. It is likely that buildings of the Douglas school will start at very early date. Other Ind ian schools are also to be erected. Dr. Philip S. Smith. chief of the Alaska branch of the us. Geolog- ical Survey, plans to leave Wash ington tonight on his annual trip to Alaska.
 On recommendation of Delegate Dimond, the Post Office Depart ment has appointed Guy Turnbow postmaster of the fourth class of fee at Richardson, in the vicinity of Birch Lake on the Richardson highway.-The Delegate also re- ;commj ,nded Fhat tbe office bs moved to the FoxFarm, owned by MT. and Mrs. Turnbow, and a few miles north of Richardson. No one could be found at Richardson willing to accept appointment and if removal to the Fox Farm had not been urged the district would have been without post office fac ilities.
 The Anchorage Radio Club, Inc :, operating KKQD, "The Voice of the Golden North,'' at Anchorage has applied for mobilization of lie ense to change frequency from 1230 kilocycles to 600 kilocycles.
 The night nurse h the Alaska Railroad hospital at Anchorage is one of the few employees of Uncle Sam who gets a restoration of salary this year, even though it is mainly theoretical. She was form erly paid $160 a month, $10 more than the scale for day nurses, but under the first economy act this was cut to $115. The Alaska Railroad wanted to put her salafy back to $160 and Comptroned General McCarl has ruled that may be done. because the reduct- ton was effected by an economy measure that has been repealed.
 She must, however, take 15 per cent cut from her basic pay of $160 a month. which brings the actual pay down to $136.

Gandhi is not to be swerved from
his purpose, and it appears that only
the actual imminence of death may

Russian Loan.
Early this week the Soviet govern
ment proclaimed the issuance of an
internal 3,OOO,OOO,OOO ruble loan to
finance activities of the first year of
the second five-year industrial and
agricultural plan. The loan will bear
interest at 10 per cent and when SUBJ
scribed will mean that the govern
ment owes its citizens nine billion
rubles. In Moscow no fear is enter
tanned that the money now needed
will not be forthcoming-in fact, the
government is very optimistic about
the results of this latest financial
plan.

three month furloughs without pay.
They make possible the reduction
of officers to half pay. They permit
the president to modify or cancel
transportation contract s-this of
course being aimed at some of the
scandalous steamship contracts for
carrying mail and for few air mail
contracts entered into by the former
Postmaster-General Brown before he
was retired. And so on.
Yet these important and far-reach-
ing changes in existing law were
damned through as described, and
even on the great reduction in vet
Grams benefits, limitation was
slapped on which reduced debate and
the chance to offer and explain the
purpose of amendments. That mat
tered less, to be entirely truthful, for
the reason that even though the orig
inal items had been carried in this
bill, the money would not have been
expended. And if the presidents
promised amendments and changes
in regulations are put through, and
more money will be needed, it can be
furnished in the first deficiency bill
next January.
That statement by the president
was timely. Those who voted for the
economy act were generally anxious
to show the resentment that has been
piling up as the real operation of the
act has been becoming to be under
stood better. One result was the pas
sage of an amendment adding eight
the regional veterans administration
offices, threatened with abandon
ment. Getting ten seconds time,
new member made the best speech
of the day by observing that if these
offices were closed up, every Con-
gresham would find his office to be
a regional office this summer The
writer can attest to that, from eX-
perience in the past, and from the
pitiful and desperate appeals from
veterans affected by the act who are
deluging this office with inquiries.
They must all receive the same re-
ply, namely, that legislative servants
lo lOhSSi hdNC any " say, CA
cept to bring to the Chief Executive
and his assistance the evidences of
what is actually happening.
The leaders used the same gag rule
once more, and once too often, when
they made an effort to put over a
resolution providing for a movie trust
investigation by the same means. The
resolution, which might have stood
a chance of passage if more liberal
rule had been offered, was never con-
sidered, since the rule was voted
down by decisive vote.
Instead, pressure is to be put on
the Department of Justice and the
Federal Trade commission to inquire
into the methods and practices of the
gigantic moving picture monopoly,
with especial attention devoted to
their securities sales, their policies
toward labor and artists. and their
combinations in restraint of trade and
competition through association of
their producing, distributing and
theatre divisions.
And this is all pitifully little of
what might be said here this week.
For lack of room, the rest must wait.

THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
BY CONG. JOHN PAUL KvALE

! May 13, 1933-With the gigantic
farm measure now actual law as the
result of the presidential signature
that was added yesterday. depart
mental heads and advisors were. off
at the crack of the gun to put it into
effect. Working day and night to
complete the set-up and begin the
parity price operations, the organi-
zation is being formed at the same
time that arrangements are being
made for series of conferences of
the producers and professors of the
various basic commodities just as
quickly as possible, to formulate de-
tails of policy and operation.
The mortgage refinancing work will
be somewhat slower in reaching the
stage of actual operation. Realizing
that, the president has gone as far
as he can under the Constitution by
issuing a formal plea to all mort
gage holders to delay their fore
closures until this part of the act
can be applied. OF course, that will
be signal to governors of many
cidentally, the presidents action is in
direct line with the request made of
him by MinnesOta's Governor Olson
earlier in the week, and echoed by
others from Congress.
The credit and currency expansion
features have been discussed in ear
lier letters, and will not be COM
mented on here. For that matter, a
cloud of doubt still shrouds prospects
for action by the chief executive
under this part of the bill, except for
the general statement in his radio
address indicating that he would use
these powers IF, as and when" nee
eSsary.
So to that extent the demands of
farm leaders, the farm bloc i'm Con-
gress, the Farmers Holiday group,
and the participants in the Contin-
entail Congress-as they named them
selves-which met here over the last
weekend. have been met. Wisely
and generously. leaders who had
called the farm strike have for the
time at least postponed their action,
awaiting the opportunity of the adj
ministratiOn to put its combined
plan into operation. Added acute dis
tress has thereby been averted, but
may only serve to aggravate it lat
er on.
Again invoking the gag rule which
has become customary procedure in
this bewildering and disorderly ses-
sion, the House considered and passed
the annual appropriation bill provid-
ing funds for the independent offices
of government. 1t will be remem-
bered that one of President Hoover's
last acts was to veto the bill in the
last Congress. So, after renewed
hearings, and as the result of the
Economy Act, the new bill was
brought in and showed through, not
only cutting the appropriations for
the veterans pensions and hospital
costs by $452,000,O00, but also carry
ing several added legislative amend
ments to the Economy Act.
These last-named provisions were
protected by the rule described last
week, preventing amendments of any
kind, and making them in order in
spite of the age-old rules of the House.
They provide, for instance, for retire
ment of employees after thirty years
service, regardless of their record or
other circumstances. They authorize

ASKOV SCHOOL NOTES
High SchoeJ te Present Play.

May l9, yes that's the date when
the Askov high school will present
its play, Listen World" Following
is list of characters and the parts
they play: Harold Howard, Sigurd
Buck; Mrs Howard, Gladys olsen;
Miss Bifefinch, Dorothy Grafelman;
Mr.. Barron, Arthur Clausen; Henri
eta Duprez, Phyllis Petersen; Roger
St John. Esbern Kilstofte; Jameson,
Harry Jensen, Or; Betsy Ross, Sara
Serritslev, Schwartz, MILFORD Olesen;
and Arabella Schwartz, Ruth Soren-
sen. In order to convert these char
acters with the play you may refer
to the following summary.
The central figure is Harold How
ard, self-cOnscious youth, but suf-
ficiently discerning to be able to see
at it. As radical and wise-cracker
de luxe he has become the unsolv-
able problem over which his mother
and sweetheart, Henrietta Duprez,
have spent many futile hour. Hay-
ing despaired of ever getting How
ard to take a serious view of life,
Henrietta becomes engaged to Roger
st. John, money grasping young
business man. This brings matters
to a head rapidly Harold, deeply
resenting the constant gossip and
newspaper publicity given to the en-
gagement of his former sweetheart to
st. John, whom he considers hopeless
ly mercenary, for once assumes the
offensive. To Jameson, the Self-Sat-
isfied reporter, he delivers the fol-
lowing brOadside: We're all crazy,
Jameson. Only some of US make
lot of money. The rest of us see
through it all. There's nothing to
it Jameison-this money business. A
lot of nerve, no brains a deep voice,
a couple of tailored suits. no sense
of humor-and you can't keep money
away
AS if providentially provided in or
der to give Harold an immediate
chance to make good his boast, Cab
riel Schwartz, a clustering, semi-for-
eign, half-daft inventor, fairly thrusts
upon Harold the opportunity to make
a fortune by manufacturing and dis
tributing a new cigarette lighter.
The company is formed through the
instrumentality of Mr.. Barron, a per-
RENAL sutton for the hand of Mrs.
Howard, the widowed shopkeeper.
The enterprise is instantly successful.
This throws Harold into the spotlight
and the press halls him as the boy
wonder of the business world.
HarOld's success has prompted Ara
bella, Schwartz's unidealistic daugh-
ter, to effect his capture. Miss Bite
finch (all that the name implies),
typical spinster, adds great deal of
comedy to the already well-endowed
story. Neither must Betsy Ross nor
Jameson, the reporters be discounted.
All in all it's a clever play having an
ideal cast with splendid distribution
of lines.
The senior orchestra will render Sc
lections before the play and between
the acts.
