D. c. WILL FIGHT
MOSQUITOES

A substantial slice Of $4,000, 1000
recently allotted the Unit e d
States Health Service and Fed
eral Emergency Relief Admin
istration by the P. w. A. for
disease control work throughout
the country will be spent on
eliminating m osquito breeding
swamps in and near the Ma
tional Capital, it was learned
from a feliable source today.
The exact amount destined to
be spent here has not yet been
determined but Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins admits Wash
ington will share in the disease
control fund.
Washington's greatest mosquito
breeding swamps lie in upper
Anacostia Park, according to 'ex-
perts in the office Of the U. S.
District Engineer. Much of the
marshy land is being reclaimed
by development of the park area
and the disease control funds will
probably be spent in completing
mosquito elimination there.

be permitted to enter this country
from Europe, according to a quar-

The order would have been put

the fact that the Department of

LIBERTY BONDS
MOVE SLOWLY

Only $3.50, 100000 of Fourth Lib
erty Loan bonds have been turned
into the Treasury Department for
conversion, officials there an
nounced. The Government has
called $1,875, 100000 of the bonds,
offering to exchange them either
for cash or new Government Sc
curities.
Treasury officials said a grow
ing percentage of the bonds being
turned in were marked for pur-
chase of the new bonds. The
Fourth issue, it is said, is the most
widely scattered Liberty issue put
out, and this is believed to have
been the cause of the slowness in
turning in the bonds.

How many times in the course of week
do you snap at someone? If you check
very carefully you will probably find that
it happens more times than you realize.
For one of the dangers of tangled
nerves is that the victim so seldom
knows about his own condition. It not
only hurts others but himself as well.

FURTHER IMPROVEMENT SHOWN
IN BUSINESS OF SOUTHWEST

Continuing the gains shown in
April the business situation in
Southern California registered fur
ther Improvements during May,
with many trades and industries re-
porting increased monthly activities
for the first time in several. years,
according to the monthly summary
of business conditions complied and
published by the Security-First
National Bank of Los Angeles.
The upward trend which has
been apparent for more than rs
days is in sharp contrast with the
spring periods of 1882 and 1881
when ordinary seasonal reViVals
failed to develop While some of
the recent advances are apparent
ly due to the production and buy
ing of merchandise in anticipation
of rising prices, the increased con-
fidence with which most people re-
gard their present wages and sal
aries and the position of their
businesses in probably of equal
If not greater Importance. the bus
iness review states, continuing in
part as follows:
THE significance of the recovery
which has occurred locally lies not
in its extent, which is limited, but
in the fact that it is most marked
reversal in the downward trend
1890. To date the movement has
been restricted largely to the fields
of retail and wholesale trade and
to the industries dependent there
/ on.
The heavy types of manufac-
ture, such as steel, cement, ma
chine tools and their leading GUS
! toners, building and construction,
petroleum producing and refining
and the like, show only scattered
evidence of revival The outlook
for these lines, however, has been
materially bettered by recent events
in Washington. Another important
aspect of the economic situation
in Southern California is the fac
that the current rise in farm pro-
duct prices will not be effective as
a business Stimulant in many local
ities until after the harvest season
several months hence.
SALES of merchandise by lead
! ing department stores in Los Ang-
eles were larger during May than

year. This is the first month since
1929 in which these organizations
have exceeded their showings Of
the preceding year.
Other lines Of trade, both in
Los Angeles and n smaller cities
throughout Southern California
made favorable records for the
month. Automobile sales continue
to exceed the 1892 showings while
the purchase of tires and tubes has
been stimulated by prospective
increases. In the industrial, tire
manufacturers have been unusually
active, some concerns operating at
levels as much as go per cent over
those of last year. Favorable re
ports were also received from the
local furniture, meat packing and
grain milling Industries. Building
permits issued in Los Angeles dur

there was one more business day in

! last year, the decline in prices
during the twelve months was prob
ably more than sufficient to offset
this factor.
THE increase over April of this
year marks a continuation of the

 The Divisional Committees of the Second and Third, and the mem bers of the Territorial committee from the same Divisions, passed unanimously resolutions endorsing these two men.

NO PARTY PROGRAMS

The fact that neither side had presented any inclusive party pro- gram is traceable directly to the absence of recognized and effective leadership.
 The Republican old guard, in control Of the party organization in Senate and House took no steps to support President Hoover's rec concentrations because it did not care to rehabiliate him as the controlling force in the party as whole.
 The Democrats had been divid- ed and hesitant because they were uncertain how far President Elect Roosevelt wanted them to go. and in what direction.
 A Congressional gesture toward remaining on the job during the Christmas holidays may have sav- ed some criticism back home, but actually the accomplishments of record were not impressive. The Senate, where the real log-jam always occurs in short sessions, mustered only corporal's guard at it's infrequent five-minute meet- ings.
 The whole performance was de-
The Daily Alaska empire., 1933-01-11
By BYRON PRICE (Chicf of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington.)

A new tang has been given the political atmosphere of Washington by the news that President Elect Roosevelt is prepared to assume a more active leadership in the legislative progam of the present session of Congress.
 There has been no denying that recent weeks had seen the situation at the Capital drifting steadily to- ward complete stagnation.
 The state of the public business at the end of the calendar year gave surprising demonstration how a great and powerful govern ment simply would bog down of it's own weight in a time of need
 The feeling had become increas- ingly one of defeatism. With each party holding an effective veto over the other. and all attempts at cooperation stalemated. the disposition of many leaders on both sides was to say, What's the use?" and fall back on an exchange of partisan charges and counter charges which doubtless led many ordinary voters to wonder whether Washington knew the campaign was over.
 Now, there is a possibility, at least, of action.

SCHOOLS CLOSE U N TIL MONDAY; 249 PUPIL 5 OUT
Theatres Cooperate by For bidding School Stu
 dents at Shows

Due to the prevalence of influ- enza here, both the High School and Grade School will be suspend ed from this afternoon until Mon day morning, by authority of Dr. W. J. Pigg, City Health Officer, it was announced today by R. s. Raw en, Superintendent of City Schools.
 The number of pupils absent from school has increased until nearly forty per cent of the total enrolment is out Today 249 were absent as compared with l92 on Monday. The epidemic appeared to be more prevalent among the young CT children as POI of the absentees were from the grade schol, MT Raven said.
 Children Not Allowed at Theatres
 In an effort to curb the spread of the disease and cooperate with the Health Officer and the schools no high school or grade school pupils will be allowed to attend the moving picture theatres until the epidemic subsidies and parents are requested to keep children as much at home as possible.
 In addition to the students ab- sent from the schools. three teach CTS are unable to be at school and several others should be at home, if they wish to avoid severe ill., ness, according to MT. Raven.
 It is hoped by the school authori- ties that by Monday the epidemic will have subsided so that it is possible to resume studies.

 The Parochial School will also suspend studies until next Monday morning, it was announced today

MARKET HITS SNAC IN
 TRADING TODAY
Strong Resistance Encount- cred = Early Gains
 Turn to Losses

NEW YORK, Jan. II. The Stock Market ran into stone wall of resistance as it approached the upper levels of the November trad ing range and gains of fractions to one and one-half points were lost late in the day.
 Tone Is Heavy
 Several issues closed unchanged but others dropped a point lower The final tone of the market was heavy. Today's turnover was l. 500,000 shares.
 Inability of the market to get above the level at which it was turned back at the post-election rally was discouraging to the bulls.
 News Is Favorable
 Business news was perhaps more favorable than otherwise but the market appeared to reflect chiefly its own internal condition. There is belief in some quarters that the market has been going ahead too rapidly
 Gains of three quarters to one point were made by American Tele- phone and Telegraph, Allied Chem ical, Santa Fe, Case, Union Pacific, Ward, American Light and Power and American Foreign Power were virtually lost at the close.
 American Telephone fell more than one point under yesterday s close.
