WHEAT PLAN RETARDED BY
 U. S., CLAIM
International Com mission Finds Alleged Obstacle
 in Recovery Way

LONDON, Dec. 14.-The United States is among the countries, the International Wheat Marketing Committee has found, as being guilty of placing obstacles in the way of world wide recovery in that commodity.
 While the Americans have ta- ken the lead in efforts to raise the wheat price level, it is learned, the negotiators find that the op-- eration of the Pacific Northwest Emergency Export Association in the United States a depressing factor.
 The organization, which oper- ates in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana, is listed by the del- egation as among the subsidies which are defeating the chances of success through any remedial measures in buying home wheat and selling it at a loss on the world markets, the Treasury talk ing up the Associations losses from the millers' process tax.

LIQUOR TRUST IS ORGANIZED
 SAYS WITNESS
Repeal Opens Way for Graft, Political Influ-
 ence, Claim Made

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA. - The opinion that strict Federal and State regulation of the liquor traf- fic since repeal has opened the door to more opportunities for en- forcement, graft and political in- fluence that never existed under Prohibition, was voiced today by Representative O'Connor, Demo- crat of New York, at the joint Congressional hearing on liquor taxation
 O'Connor said there is scan dalous situation in the liquor in- dustry and he supported the charge made earlier in the hearing by Harvet Smith, representing the in- dependent Kentucky distillers, that a "whiskey trust" is in existence
 Representative O'Connor recom- mended a $5 gallon tax, the highest levy yet proposed.

THOMpSONTALKS TO CHAMb BIER ON
 HALIBUT PLANS
Says Fishermen Must Use Restraint Chamber
 Elects Directors

If the halibut fishermen of the Pacific Northwest are to spread their operations over most of the year, they will have to exercise a larger measure of self-restraint in the future than they have in the past, the Chamber of Commerce was told today by Dr. w F. Thomp- son, Director of Investigations and Chairman of the International Fisheries Commission He is here to confer with local fishermen on next years regulations and con- suit with them about agreements on operations.
 He told the Chamber he would meet the local fishermen tonight at City Hall and expressed the hope that his proposals would find favor with those interested in the industry.
 Up to Fishermen
 He stressed the point, however, that in the last analysis the length of season is largely in the hands of the fishermen them selves. The Commission has de- termined the quantity of halibut that each area can produce in safety each season. Due to inn provements on the banks, he said, the fleets can take the quota in a comparatively short period, cit- ing as an instance the experience in this area last season whsn the quota was exhausted in August
 "It is a question of .self-re- straint by the fishermen" he de- clared. Civilization up to now has not been gsared for restraint but for exploitation. We hope. however, that we can bring about agreements which will permit the spread of operations to cover most of the year"
 Cites Commission Record
 Briefly. Dr. Thompson told of the creation of the Commission, why it was brought into being, and it's record. The halibut fishing industry of the Northwest began about 1900, and. therefore is about 8 years old. The scale of its pack, he said, showed a steady de- crease each year.
 In 1924. the United States and Canada created the International Commission to study the situation In 1881 it was clothed with author ity necessary to regulate it. Since that time. the banks have showed continued improvement. Last year

'KETCHIKANMAN . PUT IN OFFICE
 BY ROOSEVELT
w. I. Mahoney, Organiza- ton Candidate, Named
 to Succeed A. White EXPECTED TO ASSUME DUTIES ABOUT JAN. 1 Is Prominent in Party Ac- tivities and Tn Business
 in Ketchikan

William T. Mahoney, prominent Democrat and business man of Ketchikan, was today named Unit ed States Marshal for the First Division of Alaska in a recess ap- pOintment made by President Roos- evelt, it was disclosed in an Asso- ciated Press report to The En- pire from the National capital. He will succeed the present en- cumbent, Albert White, resigned, probably about January 1.
 MT Mahoney was the choice of the Democratic Committee of this Division for the office, obtaining it's formal endorsement at meet ing here last Spring. He was also backed by National Committeeman James J. Connors and the Terri- torial Committee, and recommends ed to the Department of Justice by National Chairman James A. Farley.
 Had Little Opposition
 In expressing the organizations qualification at the Presidents ac- ton, MT Connors said today that delay in the appointment had apparently been caused by ''lit- tie opposition" that developed sew era1 weeks ago in a small faction of the party at Ketchikan. Tt didn't amount to anything and seemed to be more personal than political in character" he said.
 He denied reports circulated here and elsewhere in the Territory that Senator Norman R. Walker, prominent Ketchikan Democrat, had taken part in the fight made against MT. Mahoney's appoint ment. Senator Walker not only did not oppose him, but was strongly for him." declared the National Committeeman. MT. Ma honey has made a splendid record as a business man, public offic- ial and a citizen. He is high class man of fine ability and will make an excellent United States Marshal" he concluded
 Ziegler Led Opposition
 Although Mir Connors did not comment on the source of the op- position which developed against MT. Mahoney, it is commonly un- derstood that former Representa- tive A. H. Ziegler, who was de- feated in a three-cornered race last year for the party's nomina- tion for Delegate to Congress, running third, headed the fight on his fellow townsman. While this was going on the Idaho delegation in Congress made a bid for the place for constituent and but for the strong representations of Dele gate Dimond and MT. Connors to MT. Farley might have been suc- cessful.
 Several weeks ago however, MT. Farley notified MT Connors and the Delegate he had recommended MT. Mahoney to the Department of Justice. A short time ago, the Delegate advised organization lead- CTS here that the appointment might be made at any time and would not long be delayed.
 Is Pioneer Democrat
 MT. Mahoney has resided in the Territory for more than a quarter of a century, and has been active in his partys activities all during that period. He resided at Sul-

 The grand jury for the Third Division, in presenting it's fin report October 28, recommended that light be installed at Cape Whitshed, near Cordova, for the protection of shipping.
 Taking cognizance of that rec ommendation, Delegate Dimond presented the matter to the Com missioner of Lighthouses, calling attention to the grand jury's re- port and personally urging that the light be established. The Dele gate was informed by the Com missioner that an investigation would be ordered immediately as to the practicability of placing a light in service at this time.
