Concern Ouer Cuba Is Behind
Brace Face in Capital City
BY BYRON PRICE
Chief of Bureau, The Associated
Press, Washington

Washington has put on a brave
face as it contemplates what is
happening in Cuba, but under
meath there is much real concern.
Ordinarily, government over
turns in Latin America do not
greatly excite even the State De-
partment. They have come to be
accepted as a part of the ma
tural course of events, like colds
in the head and minor traffic ac-
cidents. No one really hopes to
do much about them.
One cause for worry is that the
revolution which overthrow the
new de Cespedes regime, and the
events which have followed that
overthrow, taught the Washing
ton government that it knew less
than it thought it did about the
ms and outs of Cuban political
currents.
This whole new phase of Cuban
affairs has been a terrific shock
TO State Department officials, who
thought Ambassador Welles had
done a magnificent job in Havana,
and, with the old Machado regime
safely eased out, could come home
with everything rosy.
American military men were
surprised too, to find that the Gu
ban army which had acquitted it
self so well during the machado
crisis, was SO deeply permeated
with discomfort and even organ
lied revolt.
But the greatest shock of all was
the realization that Communist
groups had had and still have
so large a hand in the situation.

RECOVERY PLAN
BEING STUDIED
BY OBSERVERS
Only One Threat in Com

to Be Eliminated

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Gov-
eminent observers of President
Roosevelt's program for recovery
find the chief threat in its sue
cess is NRA's quickstep ahead of
the procession.
While agricultural prices fol-
low behind and the big cash dis
tributing for public works remains
limping far in the rear, men
high in the emergency organiza-
lions of the government are say
ing now something must be done
soon to prevent such spread be-
tween prices and the purchasing
power as might again freeze trade
and possibly employment. /.
Two Salient Features
What is happening, as they see
it, is the rapid inclusion of indus
try and trade under codes which
bring higher labor costs and in
creasing purchasing power to too
small share of the population
and making too small an inroad
into the unemployed army while
at the same time making necessary
higher prices for goods which ev-
erybody, including the farmer,
must have.
No Currency Initiation
The President is represented by
informed sources as determined
that currency initiation shall not
be resorted to for the present.
He is concentrating on expanding
credit and studying approaches to
capital expenditures.

Juneau Broker Returns
Declares Industrial Ac-
tivity Is Everywhere

Bringing first hand news OF
strongly re-vitalized industrial &C.
tivity throughout the east and
middle west, and enthusiastic
praises for the Worlds Fair which
he terms the greatest show on
earth" j. J. Meherin, merchandise
broker and Alaska representative
for Hills Brothers Coffee, return
ed to Juneau last night on the
Northland, with Mrs Meherin
completing a seven weeks bust
ness and pleasure trip which took
them as far as Chicago.
Factories and manufacturing
plants seemed busy everywhere,
said Mr.. Meherin. I'm contrast to
a year and two years ago through
out the central states industrial
areas smoke was again pouring
from stacks all along the line.
While in Chicago as the guest OF
A. A. CMax) Humfrey, we stayed
at the Olympic Fields Golf and
Country Club, where we met many
business and industrial, leaders,
representing varied branches OF
business. Without exception they
were filled with optimism, and
told of the orders their firms had,
many with sufficient number on
hand to insure maximum opera
ton for their plants for the re-
mainder of the year"
Wonderful Fair
In addition to being a wonder
full show, the Chicago Fair is now
assured of being a financial sue
cess" continued Mr.. Meherin, and
it is possible that the Fair will be
re-opened again next year. 1t, is
estimated that visitors to he Fair
will have spent in Chicago, out
side of the fair grounds, $780,
100000 when it closes. During the
first week of the fair the average
expenditure for an individual with
in the fair grounds was IS cents,
this has jumped to SIPS per per-
son. which indicates that since
the opening, general confidence
has returned and people are dis
posed to spend more.
Alaska Exhibit Good
personally feel that the Al
aska Exhibit is very good. 1t is
located near the States building,
and the cool atmosphere OF the
log cabin attracts thousands OF
people. I believe that fully forty
per cent of those attending the
fair will see the exhibit" con-
tended Mr.. Meherin. "All OF the

WORK ON FILL
OF WILLOUCHbY
STARTS mon,
Ferry Way and South Sew
ard Streets for One-Way
Traffic During Filling

Work on the Willoughby Avenue
fill, which was approved as a
Public Works project for the City
of Juneau, will begin Mond ay
morning, September Is, according
to Mayor l. Go1dstein. The fill
will be started on the Main Street
end of Willoughby Avenue and is
to be entirely handled by the Al
aska Road Commission, according
to Mayor Goldstein. S
Trucks Routed
Trucks will be routed from the
Alaska Juneau by way of Frank
lin and Front Streets and then
south on Main Street to Willough-
by Avenue. The empty trucks will
return from Willoughby Avenue
over South Seward and Ferry
Way to Franklin Street and dur
ing the progress of filling, Ferry
Way and South Seward Streets
will be one-way streets, traffic
allowed eastbound only, Mayor
Goldstein announced This is nee
essary because of the narrowness
of these thoroughfares and to ex-
pedite the work of hauling rock.
Installation of sewers, and Gull
verts which will be necessary in
the Willoughby Avenue section,
win be taken care of by the city.
the Mayor said.
Only a few laborers will be need
ed in addition to those operating
trucks at the present time and
the required number have already
been employed through the city
foreman, Olaf Torkelson, who is
in charge of the hiring of men
on the Willoughby Avenue project,
Mayor Go1dstein said.
Trucks Signed Up
Twenty-one trucks had been sign
ed up today for the job, it was
said at Alaska Road Commission
headquarters. The average rate for
the hauling is 221a cents per cubic
yard. Chief Engineer Ike P. Taylor
estimated that probably SO men
would be hired on the trucking as
soon as the work progressed suf-
ficiently to use double shifts. He
said that the number of trucks
already engaged was sufficient to-
handle the entire job.
The Commission estimates that
approximately 100000 cubic. yards
of rock will be required for the fill.
The deepest place is at the begin
ming point, opposite Juneau Motors,
where it is "a feet.
The overall width of the fill will
be 80 feet. The roadway will be
20 feet in width and a five-foot
clearance is allowed for sidewalks.
Five 36-inch concrete culverts will
be installed to care for drainage OF
the tidal waters, and in addition
there will be two openings for
small boats opposite the Indian
village which will also serve as
drains. These will be bridged over.
George A. Getchell has been en-
ployed as Foreman on the project.
Elmer Reed will be checker and
timekeeper. All labor, Mr.. Taylor
emphasized, is being employed by
the city street authorities.
The fill will be made in sec
tons, covering one half OF the
street width at time. This Will
enable traffic to keep moving and
also facilitate the unloading OF
trucks.
