SURPRISE SPRUNG
BY SENATE GROUP
In INVESTIGATION
GREAT SECRECY MAINTAIN.
ED IN ACTIVITIES CARRIED
ON RELATIVE TO MUNITIoN
MATTERS BEFORE BOARD
By HERBERT PLUMMER

By HERBERT PLUMMER
CBy Associated PreSsl
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE
senate munitions investigators
handed everybody a surprise by
the way they pulled tricks out of
their bag at the opening session
of inquiry.
They all but stole the show
from the cotton textile strikers,
regarded generally in newspaper
circles as the biggest story of the
moment.
The reason is simple
The youthful Senator Nye of
North Dakota and his associates
had laid their plans carefully for
! the curtain raiser. The advance
notices gave little warning Of
what might be expected.
Before the day was over the
elusive trail of Europe's man of
mystery, Sir Basil Zaharoff, had
been uncovered and details of
|. how American manufacturers of
submarines divided patents, prof
its and world markets with those
abroad unfolded.
No Special Counsel
Nye and his committee are
faced with the necessity of delv-
ing into a problem with world
wide qualifications on a very lean
pocketboOk. More money may be
forthcoming later, but for the
present at least they must watch
the pennies.
For weeks preceding the in
quiry scores of investigators for
the committee were engaged in
searching the files of munitions
manufacturer for data. How the
committee managed to put as
many in the field as it did on such
limited income is a secret the
members are keeping to them
selves.
The inquiry is being conducted
without benefit of special counsel,
such as the banking committee in
vestigating the stock market and
other Wall street activities had in
Ferdinand Pecora. Legal talent,
however aboundS.
Four of the seven members are
lawyers-bne a former state SUI
preme court justice. Two are for
mer. newspapermen and one, 81, a
business man.
Missouri Contribution
Those who have followed the
investigation to date believe they
see in one member of the com
mittee-Bennett Clark, son of
Champ Clark, former speaker Of
; the another contribution
by the state of Missouri to the
ranks Of outstanding senate pros
ecutOrs. Jim Reed was the last.
Clark is charged with directing
that part of the inquiry which
deals with operations of NUM-
tons manufacturers in Latin
America and South America.
His method is unlike the usual
procedure employed by senate
prosecutors. AS a rule stern ex-
pressions. sharp and cryptic ques-
tiOns, and smileless faces are the
physical equipment of these men.
Not so with the young, robust,
slightly bald Clark. His most
searching questions are delivered
with a smile and in a sort of ban
tering tone. He wisecracks in
cessantly. His sarcasm is subtle
and frequently disarming to the
witness.
But he makes them squirm in
discomforture And before he lets
up on a witness that gentleman
knows. he has been taken over the
jumps effectively and quite rough
ly, for all the senator's high hu-
NOR.

tuition.
The internal waves. if they ex-
list, are not small like surface
swells, but more like tidal waves.
Their surface is not more than 100
feet down. 1t lies under the "hom-
ogeneous" layer of top sea water,
layer created by the churning
of wind and waves, and of differ
ences in temperature, density and
salinity between the surface wa
ter and the water below.
The homogeneous" layer is a
sort of restless, Neptune's blan-
ket covering the calm, cold depths.
Man sees beneath it only rarely.
With CLASSY sea it may almost
disappear. Swimmers ordinarily
swim in this blanket, but occasion
ally it gets so thin their bodies
break through into the colder wa
ter below.
Interest Weathermen
The internal waves have some
interest to weathermen. because
of theories that they may resemble
meteorological conditions believed
to exist in upper layers of the
ocean of air at the bottom of
which man lives.
The new instrument was devils
ed by Prof. C. G. Rossby of the
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology. 1t was nicknamed ''the
rat trap" by the sailors of the At
lantic. the Oceanographic Institu-
tons vessel, from the decks of
which it is operated.
The "rat trap" resembles a
metal suitcase. higher than it is
long. Lowered over the side OF
the ship, it reads water tempera-
lures and pressure simultaneous

all precedent IF either Of these
things occurred.
He is judged today in the poll
tical realm more as a symbol than
as leader. No one doubts there
are many who feel just as he
does, whether or not they would
be willing to entrust party FOR
tunes again to so badly defeated a
former chief.
The mans words, divorced from
his own individuality and per
sonal estate, are what the pohti-
clans are thinking Of. The fact
that he is willing to break his
silence leads them to wonder how
many others may be spProachinE.
or are actually in, the same state
of mind.
Armistiee L. Over
In his magazine article Mr.
Hoover renews his 1882 com
plant against "regimentation"-a
word, incidentally, which he intro
duced into political discussion
long in advance OF those acts
of the Roosevelt administrator
which he now enumerates as ia
vasiOns of personal liberty.
His speaking out carries some
thing of a warning-in two direc-
tiOnS.
1t is notice that the armistice b.

 WEIRD MOVIE
H. C. Wells Invisible Man. Opens Tonight
 at Capitol Theatre

The strangest character ever created by the screen makes his debut at the Capital Theatre to- night when Universal's picturiza- ton of H. G. Wells novel, "The Invisible Man opens it's featured engagement there.
 Its unseen star is a scientist who has succeeded in conquering light and shadow to make himself in- visible. How his frantic attempts to rule the world plunge a nation into frenzy of suspense and fear, and how the invisible madman employs his instability to gain his ends and how he manages fervid love affair, supplies this amazing picture with quick succession of highspots
 James Whale, distinguished British dramatist, known for his Journeys End" and "Franken- stein" directed this weird picture, working from the screen scenario by R. c. Sheriff. Claude Rains, Dudley Digges, Una O'CoDnor, William Harrigan, Gloria Stuart, Henry Travers and Forester Har- vey head the exceptional cast of brilliant actors who bring the Wells story to life on the screen.

Washington, D. c. We have seen these bureaus commence with mod est organizations which immediate ly began reaching out for more power and authority, until the au- tocratic power exerted has become exceedingly oppressive and unfair.
 Compensation Law
 We oppose the Alaska Com pensation Act as it now exists ana favor it's change or amendment so as to require a guarantee of pay ment from all industries or indi- viduals subject thereto We oppose those provisions of the present law which permit discrim n a tion against family men and American citizens.
 Nep0tism
 We oppose the practice of em- ploying members of their families by Territorial and Federal off, cials. We further oppose employ ment of both man and wife in Territorial or Federal positions"
 Planks Resubmitted
 Three of the blanks offered for approval by the committee were rejected by the body, and were re- turned to the committee for re- drafting and re-submission at a meeting to be held next Tuesday evening.
 The first of these was the one on fur farms. As submitted, it read:
 We believe that all islands used as fur farms should be eliminated from the Forestry Service and that fur farmers should be permitted to obtain title to the same under some provision of the homestead law, as adapted to their needs and circumstances.
 Objections to the fur farm plank were based on the ground that it was too vague as to ways and means, the principal objector being Donald Foster.
 Education Plank
 Opposition also arose against the plank on education. AS submitted, it read:
 We pledge ourselves to the edu- cation of the youth of this Terri tory to the fullest extent permitted by our resources.
 We favor return to the sys- tenn of electing the Commissioner of Education by popular vote, to the end that he may be responsible to the people of this Territory and not to a federal appointee.
 We believe that the teachers of the Territorial Schools s.1,ould be named by local school boards elected by the people of the Ter ritory"
 Hits Snag
 This item hit a snag in the per- son of H. L. Faulkner, member of the Territorial Board of Educa- ton, who favored the present sys- tenn. Albert White stated as his opinion that Commissioner A. E. Karnes is building up a political machine by holding the threat of lost jobs over teachers who do not support the policies of the Com missioner's office. Mrs. Mildred Hermann declared that she, was

complete mapping of such waters be had showing the areas contain ing marketable quantities of vari- ous food fishes, crabs, clans, and other sea foods.
 Timber
 We endorse recently legislation introduced in the Senate of the United States looking to the ex- clusion of foreign pulp wood and newsprint, believing that the pass age of such legislation would re- suit in the immediate establish ment of pulp and paper mills in this Territory, and the consequent increase in our population and wealth.
 "We favor the employment of Alaska labor in this Territory, es- pecially in our canneries and mines, and advocate the election of la Dor commissioner whose duties should include the placing of un- employed AlaSkans in positions now filled by laborers brought from the States.
 Mining
 We favor an adequate mine in spection law, to the end that fre- quent examinations be made of the mines in operation in Alaska, and that all possible safeguards be required for the protection of life and limb of those employed in said mines.
 We favor the establishment of an adequate Territorial Mining Bu- reau by the Territorial Legislature, with sufficient appropriation to permit the employment of com petent mining inspectors in each Division of the Territory, whose duties shall include free examina- ton of mining properties and ad- vice to prospectors.
 Taxation
 We favor revision of the tax system now in use in the Terri tory, to the end that taxes may be capitalized on all classes of in- dustry.
 Community Property Law
 We favor the passing of fair community property law giving to the women of the Territory equal property rights with men in all property acquired during marriage.
 Natives
 We believe that the principles enunciated by Abraham Lincoln as to equality of right of all citizens of the United States should extend to all classes of people in this Territory; that the Native Alaska Indians should enjoy equal rights with the whites of the Territory.
 Elections
 We endorse the principles of the primary election law, put be- lieve that the present act should be amended to be made more workable and to more clearly ex- press the wishes and intentions of the people.
 Bureaus
 We are unalterably opposed to bureaucratic government, believing that the natural resources of this Territory should be governed by our own people and not from

the liquor question, and follows as submitted, and as returned to thl committee for re-drafting.
 Intoxicating Liquor
 We favor enactment of a lau at the coming session of the Alas ka Legislature abolishing the Ter ritorial Liquor Board and placing the granting of licenses with the city councils in municipalities and with the district judges outside of cities. We favor the principles of local option in regard to intoxicat- ing liquor and believe that upon petition of cities or precincts out site of cities. elections should be called wherein the people residing in such cities or precincts should be given the right to say whether or not liquor licenses shall be al- lowed. We protest against the promiscuous issuance of licenses to sell intoxicating liquor without notice to the public of applications for license, and without an oppor- tunity being granted interested persons to protest against the same. We favor giving to muni- cipal corporations the right to con- duct liquor stores as municipal en- erprises."
 Offers Help
 H. L. Faulkner opposed the locaI option section on the grounds that the county system is not in effect in Alaska, and that cities would not be able to prevent private individuals from opening place for the selling of liquor just out side the city limits.
 He offered his assistance il drafting new plank to cover the question, and the offer was ac- cepted.
