20 KILLED AS ARMED REVOLT
 TEARS SPAIN
Hundreds Woun ded and Communications Demor-
 alized-Damage Heavy

MADRID, Dec. 9.-Premier Diego Martinez Barrios has declared a State of Alarm" throughout Spain following the death of at least 20 persons and the wounding of hun dreds in Extremist revolutionary disorders in Northeast Spain.
 Heavy property damage mount ed steadily.
 The uprising, which was forced by Extremist reactionary groups as the result of the Rightist land- slide at the recent parliamentary elections, broke out almost simul- taneously at many points.
 Terrorists armed with rifles bombs and pistols began the de- vastating work shortly after the first session of the new parlia- ment, striking first at the nations main communication lines. North east Spain is virtually isolated.
 Most of the bombings and other acts of violence were committed furtively under cover of darkness, but there were open clashes be- tween rioters and officers at To- group, Zaragaza and Barcelona, resulting in severe casualties.
 State of Alarm" is next to martial law.

FORMER FAMOUS
 RUM RU INNER IS AUG TONI ED OFF

The 222, better. known as the "thrse deuces," said at one time to have been used as a rumrun- ner on Puget Sound by the fa- nous Olmsted liquor ring, yester- day went under the hammer at public autcion and was sold to Early Baglen for the sum of s200. Once one of the speediest little craft on the Pacific Coast, in re- cent years it has been practically worthless and was used infrequent- ly by the local Prohibition unit to which it was turned over sev- eral years ago.
 The 222 was included in Mar shal's sale yesterday of property relinquished by the Prohibition unit when it was abolished last sum- mer. Bargain prices prevailed.
 A Stakeholder sedan used by the Dry Agents here for several years brought $40. Jake Cropley pur- chaser. Two outboard motors sold for $35 and $36.50 respectively. A number of small items were also auctioned off

.CWA AUTHORIZES
 SALMON STREAM. CLEARING WORK
Governors Office Author ized to Put l98 Men
 Under Fisheries

Employment of approximately 200 men in Southeast Alaska in salmon stream improvement as Civil Works project was received late yesterday afternoon by E. w. Grif- fin, Acting Governor, from the Civil Works Administration in Washing ton, D. c. This was originally sug- gested as a Relief Works project and later application was made to the Public Works Administration for funds
 When the Civil Works Admins tration was established, the appli- cation was transferred to that or ganization as the projects suggested came within it's scope. The work will be carried on by the United States Bureau of Fisheries under the direction of L. E. Wingard, Alaska Agent.
 Now in Seattle
 MT. Wingard is now in his win ter headquarters at Seattle. What his plans are regarding launching the work is not known here defin- itely. When application was pend- ing before the Public Works Ad- ministration he had planned to launch the program shortly after January 1. With time limit fixed for expenditure of CWA funds, how ever, it is not impossible that it will be started earlier than that.
 It was tentatively planned to hire more than 60 one-man boats and put two additional men on each vessel, making up three-men crews to be assigned to well-defined dis tricts to clean out the salmon spawning streams of log jams and other Instructions, blow out rock on falls to make ascent above them possible and to do other improve ment work on the streams. This plan, it is understood, will be gen. erally followed.
 Wingard Is Advised
 MT. Wingard was advised today by radiogram of the CWAs ap- proval of his program. Nothing had been heard from him late today.
 The authority received at the Governors office was as follows:
 We have approved Civil Works project entitled improvement O. salmon spawning streams of South east Alaska under the Bureau of Fisheries, Department of Com merce. You are hereby authorized and directed to furnish the rep resentative of this bureau up to| 198 men and up to $3,184 for ex- penses other than labor" It was signed by Jacob Baker, Director of Work Relief Special Projects.

GOVERNMENT TO
 BE COLLECTOR
 LILO. REVENUES
Levies Paid in Will then Be Divided with State
 Treasuries
DOUBLE TAXATION
 WILL BE AVOIDED
Duplicating System Will Be Done Away with, if
 Congress Agrees

WASHINGTON Dec. g. The Administration has opened the way for Congress to establish a nations al taxation system by which the Federal Government is to collect revenues and divide them between the Nations treasury, states and political subdivisions.
 An Interdepartmental Committee, set up by President Roosevelt to study the alcoholic beverage taxa tion has suggested to Congress that 20 percent of the total Federal re- ceipts on liquor be returned to the states to prevent double levies. This is in line with officials and members of Congress, it is said, with the plan to call a special ses- sion for the purpose of eliminating not only double taxation of liquor but that of other commodities and articles.
 With the growth of duplicating taxes by Federal, State, county and municipal governments, the ques- ton is being given serious consid- eration both by Administrative and Congressional quarters since the Federal Government is financing out of it's Treasury thousands of state. municipal and county prof. ects and the belief is growing the Central Government should collect the taxes.

SUNDAY CONCERT TO BE GIVEN BY JUNEAU SCHOOLS
100 Students to Take Part in Affair Held Tomorrow
 by Music Departments

An ambitious and well selected program has been chosen for the Mid Winter Concert to be given in the Grade School Auditorium to- morrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock by the Music Department of the Juneau Public Schools. After sev- eral months of practice the giee clubs, orchestra and band have reached a peak of perfection which is sure to please the public, which is cordially invited to the affair.
 Nearly one hundred students will take part in the concert, which is to be divided into two parts, the first, under the direction of Miss Alice Palmer will consist of num- Der of selections by the Girls and Boys Glee Clubs in addition to two numbers by the Girls A Cappella Choir. This will be the first public appearance of the choir, a new organization, in which the harmon iously blended voices sing without accompaniment.
 Second Half of Program
 Miss Pauline Reinhart, who di- rects the instrumental music de- partment of the school, will pres ent the Juneau High School or chestra and band in a carefully chosen program which includes many such favorites as "The Rang CTS Song from Rio Rita, selections from the Student Prince and many others. The orchestra numbers come first on the program following the intermission and selections by the band furnish the finale.
 This program is by far the most ambitious program that has been given by the Juneau Public School music department, and it is ex- pected that large turnout will be present to hear the results of their careful coaching and persist ent practice.

|NINE-YEAR-OLD MISS
 VISITS, MOTHER FRETS
 AND FIREMEN SEARCH

While little Noreen Zetoff, nine- year -old daughter of MT. and Mrs Zetoff, paid various calls last night, her frantic mother walked the floor at home, fearing all kinds of harm for her child, and members of the Juneau Volunteer Fire Department walked the highways and byways, searched buildings, and investigat- ed along the waterfront for almost three hours.
 At 1:10 o'clock this morning Noreen, her big day ended, de- murely walked into her home. Too many strangers were present for her to give a very coherent ac- count of her visitations.
 The child left home between 4:30 and 5 pm. yesterday to go to a grocery store a few blocks away. When she didn't return in a reasonable time, her mother start ed to look for her. Friends joined her and finally at 10 o'clock the matter was reported to the Fire Department. A general alarm call ed out the members who made an organized search that was still in progress until the wanderer re- turned home.
 The girls father, who works at the Alaska Juneau, did not get off shift until just before midnight and was unaware she was missing until he reached home.
