 The acts extending repeal of prohibition laws to Alaska and ad- vapcing the date of the general election and of the convening of the legislature Comprise the first real steps in the direction of home rule since enactment of the organic act for the Territory.
 There is 9 significant section in leach of these bills which to many win mean far more than either repeal or any change in election dates The repeal bill says: An act to create legislative assem- bly, in the Territory of Alaska, to confer legislative power thereon. and for other purposes shall be, and hereby is, extended to in- clude any legislation pertaining to the manufacture or sale of spirit
 uous or intoxicating liquor within the said Territory" Similarly, the election law says: ". the legis- lature of the Territory of Alaska shall have the power from time to time as the need therefor may
 arise, to change the date of gen. eral elections in the said Territory y
 In granting thse powers to the
 people of Alaska, through their
 legislature, Congress is at long last
 coming to the viewpoint that local
 affairs can best be handled by
 Alaskans themselves rather than
 by the national legislative body. It ! is viewpoint which Delegate Di-
 mond has urged upon Representa- tives and Senators ever since he came to Washington and which he intends to continue to present at
 every opportunity until the goal of
 complete home rule has been
 reached.

Another nationwide campaign is demonstrating again how diffi- cult it is really to "realign" poli- tical parties.
 For many years politicians and political observers have been say ing the time was near when one party would have to become the conservative" party, and the oth- CT the radical party.
 The results show how far wrong it is possible for the wise ones to be. It is true there has been some bolting. principally from the Republican Party, but so far as the leaders are concerned II

ADM. JOHNSON HEADS PATROL
 NAVY PLANES
Twelve Squadrons of Com mand at Present Are
 Widely Scattered

The Aircraft, Base Force, U. S. Fleet, under the command of Rear Admiral Alfred w. Johnson, U. s. Navy, who is aboard the flagship U. s. s. Wright, consists of all the patrol seaplanes of the Navy and the surface craft necessary to patrol their operations.
 Patrol Plane Largest
 The patrol plane is the largest type of plane used by the Navy and differs from other types of naval planes such as those. carried on board the aircraft carriers and those carried on board the battle ships and cruisers. The patrol type operates from the water in- stead of from the deck of ship. The current exercise, the air trans port of twelve PM-1 type seapIanes of Patrol Squadrons Seven and Nine, illustrates the coordination which exists and is essential to the success of such task.
 Land on. HarbOrs
 In an operation such as this with Navy seaplanes the harbors and the landing fields and the surface vessels of the command are the fuel stations, storehouses, repair stations and hotels. Wealth CT conditions are reported by the Navy radio stations along our coastline and by ships at sea to the flagship and there used in the forecast made by the officer ex- perienced in aerology. If condi- tions are favorable, the planes are ordered to proceed In ordering any flight of this kind in time of peace first consideration is given to the protection of the lives of the crew and of the government prop erty represented by the planes. While in flight they are in con- stant radio communication with the flagship, and their constantly changing positions plotted on charts by the officers of the Ad- miral's staff. As emergency land- ing fields are provided all over the United States for land planes, surface vessels are stationed along the course of the seaplane flights to render assistance if for any reason any of the planes may be forced down.
 Admiral Jchns0n's Force
 The force under the command Of Admiral Johnson consists of twelve squadrons, composed of from six to twelve planes, and eight surface vessels. The main tender, U. s. s. Wright, is the flagship of the force. and the prin- cipal source of supply for all the units, on extended operations. At present this force is widely scat tered.
 The U. s. s. Pelican and five squadrons are in Hawaiian waters; U. s. s. Teal, one squadron is on the east coast of the United States operating with the Fleet:

PLANES AND

 NOW IN PORT
U. s. Navy Patrol Planes, U. s. s. Wright Anchor
 ed in Channel for Visit

VP Squadron Nine-F, consisting of six planes of the Aircraft Base Force of the United States Navy and an amphibian utility plane at tached to the U. s. s. Wright ar rived in Juneau yesterday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock and moored in Gastineau Channel near the Doug las Island shore. The U. s. s. Wright, large aircraft tender, came into port this morning about 8:30 o'clock and anchored in the stream. VP Squadron Seven-F comprised of the remaining six planes of the Alaska flight, arrived today from Ketchikan where the planes and attendant vessels visited on their way north.
 Base at San Diego
 The Patrol Squadrons Seven and Nine making the flight to Alaska and the attendant vessels making the cruise are San Diego based units of Aircraft Base Force, U, s. Fleet, under the command of Rear Admiral Alfred w. Johnson. U s. Navy. In addition to the San Diego based units, under his command are the Fleet Air Bases at Coco Solo, Canal Zone, and Pearl Har- Dor, T. H., with their patrol and utility squadrons and tenders.
 Routine Cruise
 This cruise of 12 Navy patrol planes is a routine cruise similar to other cruises which Navy sea- plane squadrons are required to make at frequent intervals to give the personnel operating experience in different localities, and to exer- else the surface vessels in making such an expedition sef-supporting.
 The twelve planes making the cruise are of the PM-1 type, an older design than those of the squadron which made the flight to Honolulu last January and have less speed and range. They are biplanes with metal hulls and wing pontoons, designated to land and take off at sea. They have a dual purpose, bombing and long distance scouting, and are important units of the fleet, operating over the sea in conjunction with surface vessels. Each plane carries a crew of five persons: the pilot, who is com manding officer and navigator; an an assistant pilot; gunner; ma chinist and radio operator.
 Flagship Wright
 The U. s. s. Wright is the flag ship of Admiral Johnson, and was constructed during the World War as a transport, later being con- verted into seaplane tender. This vessel has crew of about 400 men, and in addition to having ma- chine and aviation structural re- pair shops on board carries large supplies of gasoline, airplane spares, general stores and lubricating oils. A sizeable cold storage plant in- sures fresh supply of meat, fruits and vegetables, the smaller tenders depending on the Wright for their main source of supply.
 The smaller tenders, U. s. s. Swan, Sandpiper and Avocet were built during the World War for minesweeping in European waters having also been converted to suit their present duty as seaplane tenders. All of the tenders have accommodations for the planes crews and are fitted with appar- atus to hoist heavy seaplanes out of the water and carry them on deck.
 These same squadrons were south with the fleet in April and oper- ated with it during the war games
