ALASKA WILL
 PROFIT FROM
 2 CHICAGO FAIR
N. P. Representative Be- lieves Eastern Fair Vis-
 itors Will Come North

Don't be downhearted!' urges Karl K. Katz, Alaska representa- tive of the Northern Pacific Rail- way who believes that to a great extent the country had talked itself into the. depression, and that bad times are now behind us.
 MT. Katz arrived in Juneau on the Alaska yesterday and will re- main here until the Yukon comes North next week, when he will con- tinue his journey to the Interior Last year was the first year he had not made an annual trip through the Territory for nine years, and he is glad to be back again, he says.
 Visitors May Come
 Transportation companies are enthusiastic about the Chicago fair" MT. Katz said. T was in Chicago: three weeks ago. The fair will be ready to open with a bang on June l. Many of the East erners visiting the fair, I believe, will continue their trips to Alas ka. Low roundtrip rates will en- courage travel from the east to the west coast. and Alaska, as well as from the west coast to the Fair. Reduced Rates
 "Roundtrip rates from Seattle to Chicago with a 21-day stopover, are as low as $6O, in coaches only, and under $8O first class. Round trip Pullman fares, for the first time, I believe, have been reduced 25 percent. ..
 .sThe Northern Pacific h a sn' t slackened up a bit in including Alaska in it's national advertising, in spite of hard times. In two or three years I think this will have the effect of building up an. Alas kan tourist business that will be better than ever"

DEMPSEY AND BRIDE

Gen. Italo Balbo left Washing
ton today, leaving behind him
many a fluttering feminine heart.
If the answer to a maiden'S
prayer is a man, tall, dark and
handsome, General Balbo is it.
And from the greetings he re-
ceived from feminine Washington,
the answer to Washington maid
ems prayer is General Balbo.
Resplendent in his natty white
uniform with gold braid, General
Balbo's triumphal trip through
Washington yesterday was some
thing of a treat to Washington
women, who watched him with
wide-open eyes from the moment
he alighted from his plane at
Boiling Field until the end of his
social activities at night.
In the Government buildings
through which he passed to be
greeted by the various members
of the Cabinet, women employees
lined the corridors and hung over
stair railings to catch a glimpse
at the romantic figure.
At every opportunity, tn e y
crowded about him and milled
about him, hoping against hope
to shake hands with him. But
that didn't work. The guards kept
close watch.
At the White House, the grounds
about the entrance to the Execu-
tive Mansion were crowded with

for New York City After
Ovation Here

The smiling Gen. Italo Balbo
and his group Of officers left
washington early today by train
for New York city after a day in
the Capital of festivities and
honors which rivalled the welcome
offered here in the past to Amer
ica's most favored heroes.
The Italian birdmen were tired
but happy and their amiable ma
lures stood we'll the strain of a
day filled with dinners, dances
and speeches.
The enthusiasm of the Italian
American citizens of the city
reached an apex yesterday after
noon when the fliers were re-
ceived at the Italian Embassy.
The group arrived just as the
Government workers were going
home and traffic jam resulted
that taxed the strength of the
city's police force.
Crowd Jams Streets
All the way up the hill on
Sixteenth Street in front of the
embassy cars and crowds pushed
and crept at snail's pace until
the heroic general left.
The festivities Of the day were
climaxed last night with dinner
dance at the Army and Navy
Club where the Secretary of War
and the Secretary of Navy acted
as hosts. After the dance the
Italians rushed back to the May
flower Hotel from where they
went to Union Station and ',ook
an early train today for New
York. From there they will be-
gin their hazardous journey back
to their native land.
One of the most pleasant
events of yesterday was the meet
ing of President Roosevelt and
General Balbo. The President
surprised all by greeting the air
man in his native tongue. This
gesture furnished a bond of
friendship that the air minister
will carry back to Rome as a
tribute to his chief Benito
MuSSolini.
The general and a few of his
officers lunched with the Presi-
dent and later inspected the War
Department before attending the
reception of Ambassador Augusta
Rosso at the Italian Embassy.
Greeted at Field
The day started off auspiciously
when the airmen landed at Boil
ing Field and were greeted by
reception committee representing
the military and official Institutes
Of the American government.
At the field the most enthusi-
astic greeting was delivered by
an enormous crowd Of civilians.
mostly of Italian descent, and a
handpicked group of representa-
tives of the Italian societies in
the city who all but mobbed the
General as he was whisked away
under heavy guard of police,
soldiers and secret service men.
This enthusiasm reigne
throughout the day and followed
tie General and his party up
until the final moment when he
boarded the train at Union Sta
ton early today.

To D. C.. Maidens' Prayer

receive the congratulations Of
President Roosevelt and again as
he came out to go to the State
Department.
Children lay on the grass, tired
from long waiting, some of them
carrying little pieces of paper in
the hope that the hero would give
them his autograph.
But the the General went on his
dignified way at all times, bear
ing himself erect, smiling a very
attractive smile and IN general,
looking like the traditional hero.
From all indications, the
women's preference for Balbo
and his officers is reciprocated.
We have Captain Besio's word
for it that American women are
gorgeous" One of the officers
declared that he likes the women
here, very much. adding:
"But it is not so much .
matter Of country, liking the
women. 1 like the eyes in
America"
Beatrice Fioramonti, pretty
young Italian girl. representing
the Italian World War Veterans,
is also a great admirer of the
intrepid flier. Yesterday, when
he and his officers arrived at
Boiling Field, she was very much
afraid that her pretty little
speech and her spray of flowers
would not reach her hero.
But everything turned out all
right when Balbo stopped and
she had the opportunity to speak
to him.

thrills of his solo flight around
the world, including a crash in
widest Siberia. where he nearly
starved to death, James Smiling
Jimmy" Mattern was back on
American soil today. He said:
81 thought the flight from
New York to the point where
I crashed in Siberia was full
Of thrills, but this flight here
from Anadir had them all
stopped"
Feels Great Again
Mattern showed the effects of
his privations in Siberia. He said:
81 felt pretty sick over in
Siberia, but as soon as I got
back home on American soil
felt like a million dollars.
II am sure glad to hear Post
IS going so well. My hopes of
setting record for q solo flight
around the globe are not dashed
but hope Wiley not only COM
pleteS his flight but sets a new
record"
Mattern arrived here late yes
terday in a giant Russian sea-
plane sent by the Soviet govern
ment to effect his rescue. The
plane carried two Russian pilots,
two mechanics, and a navigator
in addition to Mattern. Out of
gas, it was forced to land six
miles west of Nome.
Greeted by Friends
The flight which brought a
fresh thrill to the Texan was
started at S p. m. Wednesday
when the big two-motored plane
took off from Anadir.
Mattern's plans were still un-
determined today, but he hopes
to fly to New York. He was
greeted here by William Alex
ander and two other friends who
had flown here as rescue party.
Mattern said:
1--WE made about eight
attempts at getting off, WedneS-
day noon. each time taking out
some of the gas. Finally we
Dumped about IS gallons and
managed to take off at 5 p. m.

weather we were forced to head
for st. Lawrence Island. We
finally. sighted st. Lawrence
Island and then headed for
Nome from Northeast Cape.
"After leaving st. Lawrence
we flew for about two hours
and when about 80 miles from
Nome the fog shut down and
we were forced to return to
the island.
cat all times during the
crossing, the weather conditions
were against us. Reaching st.
Lawrence Island, we sat down
at Northeast Cape and spent
Wednesday night there just like

"AbOut noon Thursday we
took off again for Nome. The
Russians said we had only gas
enough for about one hour and

would take at least an hour
and a half to get to Nome.
We figured out that Rodney
