Washington, May 12. (UP)-All the vast functions of the govern ment's credit agencies soon will come under the supervision of one man.
 He is Henry Morgenthau, Jr, who one May 27, two weeks from tomorrow, will become governor of the federal farm credit adminis- tration figures.
 Soft spoken, little shy, Nor genthau does not resemble the high-powered executive of popular conception. He would prefer, for instance, to slip away for a week end on his Duchess county, N. Y., farm, to see how his favorite COW is getting along, rather than to plunge into the capitals social whirl.
 That 2,000-acre farm has dairy and an extensive apple orchard. From the products he derives a comfortable income that, with re- turns from investments, substan- tial paternity and his government salary, makes him a moderately wealthy person.
 Morgenthau is intensely interest ed in scientific agricultural meth ods, and does lot of experimental work on his orchards. He is fas- cinated with the accomplishments of one of his young cows which, it seems, is a record milk producer.
 Like his friend, President Roose- welt, Morgenthau likes to to swim. He has a concrete pool on his farm. But his favorite forms of ex- ercise are horseback riding and walking. He likes music and fre- quently goes to the opera in New York, but he finds it's difficult to turn a tune himself.
 Morgenthau wears a Pince Nez. He seldom removes them. He is more than six feet tall and young ish looking. Recession of hair from his forehead is the only indication that he is in his forties. He smokes cigarets, but not excessively, and at times substitutes chewing gum. He likes to drive swiftly in his sport roadster. His speech is slight ly hesitant, casual and gentle. He has a habit of biting his lower lip when talking publicly.

 | GOOD COLLECTOR
Has Gathered in Much Cash During the Past
 Few Days
AID CITY TREASURY

Superintendent Joseph H, Me- Leans scheme for collecting license fees is proving a very profitable one. If there were only sufhcient number of devices around. the po- lice department would probably pay off the city's Indebtedness in no time. Cash transactions within 24 hours amounted to $200. Not so bad for assessments on candy, peanut and gum machines, scales and the latest magazine vending devices. Whizz bang boards and other apparatus for testing your skill and making the shekels for the others, are also on display at police headquarters. The assort- ment of merchandise is commence ing to clutter up headquarters.
 Socially speaking this week has been dedicated by the police as "Get Acquainted" week. An officer drops into the neighborhood drug store, grocery store, smoke shop and observes a weighing machine parked in front of an establish ment. He has been instructed to become friendly with the clerk or manager of the store and inquire for theowner of the machine. Of course no one knows the owners name. A police auto is called and the device is whisled away to headquarters to await the owner If he doesn't call and pay $2 for each machine in operation his in- vestment is confiscated.
 Starting Tuesday afternoon the police have seized 25 machines one gentleman from New Jersey paid a license fee of $2 on each of 54 devices he had working for him in this city. Another agent pair for 26 and others are follow ing suit.

ALASKA GIVEN
 HISTORIC FLAG

Seattle - (UP) - The U. S. flag that was hoisted on Castle Hill, at Sitka, on Oct. IS, 1867, signalizing the transfer of Alaska from Rus sion to United States sovereignty. at last has been returned to the land which it honored, a gift of the state department to the peo- pie of Alaska. It has found a rest ing place in the territorial mu- scum.
 An aged Russian-American res- ident of Sitka gives the following account of the transfer:
 "We saw strange ships in the harbor, and soldiers in strange uniforms; then we learned that Alaska had been sold to the United States.
 "The transfer took place in the rain. The soldiers of the Siberian line battalion, in dark uniforms trimmed with red, stood at the left side of the flagstaff, the strange soldiers on the right. Captain Peschourov stepped up to the. representative of the United States and said: By authority of the Emperor of all the Russias. I territory of Alaska
 "The czar's flag wrapped itself around the pole while it was be- ing lowered and could not be torn loose. A Russian sailor was sent aloft to bring it down. Captain Peschourov told him to bring 1t down, but he didn't hear. He tore it from the haylard and dropped it. It fell on the bayonets of the Russian soldiers. Then the strange flag was hoisted amid the cheers of the Americans"

 MT Grafton made the following statement:
 A reduced importance has been given to Latin as an entrance re- quirement in most colleges but this fact remains clearly defined, that preferred rating is given to those students who have preservered through four years of this study. The colleges know that the train- ing in Latin equips the student for the abstruse courses in mathema- tics, philosophy and science and that many students fail in college because their minds can not grasp the subjects.
 It is interesting to know that Crosby high school has sent many students to the different institu- tions of learning and nearly all those with classical training have been in the upper half of their college class and many have at- tained Phi Beta Kappa grade.
 This year 27 students competed for the Latin, prizes, the longest list since 1914 when the prize was founded.
 To every pupil, bright or dull. in- dustrious or lazy, the study of La tin presents itself as difficulty to be met and overcome. If it is met heroically and perserveringly, de- velopment of will power is the in- evitable result, and perhaps the dull student may profit more than the bright one for whom special ized interest and facility of acquisi- tion may render deliberate voli- tional effort less necessary.

 the Senate for action which is ex- pected to be the same as that in the House.
 Under normal conditions regis trars of voters would name repre- sentatives of the democratic and republican parties to these jobs. However. the coming election is non- partisan and no provision is made in the bill calling for state convention to give representation to the factions involved. Both re- pealists and anti-repealists re- quested that they be allowed to man the polls, hence the bill passed to-day.
 Tn the House to-day Represent ative John D. Thoms of Waterbury voted against reconsideration of the action taken by the House yes- terday in rejecting the bill that would eliminate compulsory vac- cination. It will be remembered that yesterdays vote was the clos est of this session, 113 to 103. Thoms opposed the bill eliminat- ing compulsory vaccination, Repre- sentative Daniel J. Mahaney of Waterbury did not vote either way. To-day Representative Mahaney voted for reconsideration and Rep resentative Thoms against. The result of the vote to-day was 97 to 97. However, 95 votes were neces- sary for reconsideration, so the motion. which was raised by Rep resentative Joe Garner Estill of Salisbury was declared not carried. Representative William G. Hun gerford of Watertown who yester- day championed the bill eliminat- ing compulsory vaccination to-day failed to vote. His vote would have necessitated reconsideration had it been cast.
