MINER, PILOT
KILLEDINAIR-
PLANE CRASH

FAIRBANKS, Alaska. Apr. 7-Pi-
lot Ed Fageros. aged "a. flying a
4-place Stinson Wien Always plane,
and his passenger, Michael Takeoff.
aged 45, were instantly killed land
ing at McGrath on Thursday.
Fageros had been in Alaska only
three months. He was a member
of the Shriners in Chicago and
unmarried. He served as war
pilot in France with the citation of
the Distinguished Service Cross.
Takeoff only arrived here last Mon
day, having spent the winter in Sc
attic. He was a "Sourdough," and
had been mining at Flat for many
years. As soon as the weather clears,
a Pacific Alaska Always plane will
leave to bring the Two bodies to
Fairbanks.
According to advices received
here, witnesses said the plane
seemed to hit an airpocket at 200
or 900 foot altitude and plummeted
to the ground in almost a perfect
landing position. The plane was
badly wrecked and the bodies of the
pilot and passenger were badly cut
and bruised. The pilots legs were
broken in many places. Gas and
acid were spilled on the men but
no fire broke out.
This is the second accident in
the history of Alaska aviation
where a passenger has been killed
in a commercial plane, a record
unbeaten. perhaps, in any district
anywhere where flying is possible

PRESENTS VIEWS ON PROBLEMS

tanning and operating dummy
traps. Under territorial control this
menace to labor and Alaska's great
est resource may be removed. If
nominated and elected l will bend
every effort to secure such control
of our fisheries to Alaska.
Unfair Property Laws
1t is my opinion that the women
of Alaska are not properly protected
in their share in property. A hus-
bands property is his own and his
wife's property is his. Under the
present law the women have not
equal right before the law in shar-
ing communal property. This is
eminently unfair and it is my
pledge to work to right this injus-
tice.
New Workmen's Law
l do not favor the present work
mems compensation law 1t is de-
clared by the American Federation
of Labor to be the poorest on the
statute books of the several states.
1t puts a premium upon the hiring
of single men and foreigners. l
favor passage of a law patterned
after the California law where the
returns are based on a percentage
of the weekly wage with a minimum
of S25, and territorial fund.
Opposes Forest Service Red Tape
l have opposed and continue to
oppose the unfair tactics of the For
est Department and agents in Alas
ka. At present too much red tape
involves local mills and logging
camps. Alaskans may not even get
ing to crawl on knees before some
petty forestry agent for a permit.
If elected l will make every effort
to minimize the autoeracy of the
agents and the department and
thereby aid the logging and lumber
industry of Alaska.
For the past fifteen years l have
been before the public although l
have not sought public office or
favor. My record has been an open
book and my convictions and ac-
lions have not deviated one iota be-
cause of political pressure or ex-
pediency. l have been for Alaska
and Alaskans and if elected will
continue striving to make the terri
tory a place worthwhile to liv in.
Thanking you for your valued
space, and favor, l am

Children WILDE Given
Diphtheria Protection

DR.. William Whitehead, health
officer for Wrangell. has received a
supply of diphtheria toxoid from Dr.
w W. Council, Territorial Health
Officer at Juneau with the request
that he start innoculation immedi-
ately of all the white children in
Wrangell The Bureau of Indian
Affairs will have charge of the in
incubation of the Native children.
DR.. Whitehead announces that he
will administer the toxoid at his
office on Tuesday and Thursday
afternoons from 4 to 4:30 o'clock.
He asks mothers to accompany their
children. whenever possible. There
is no charge made for the service.
The Juneau Empire in a recent
issue reported Dr. Councils activity
to protect the Juneau children
against diphtheria as follows:
Contrary to rumor, there are no
cases of diphtheria in Juneau at
the present time, the innoculation
of children of school and pre-school
age, up to II years old, being done
said DR.. W. w. Council, Territorial
Health officer.
Because of the untold benefits
resulting from these innoculations,
they will be made a compulsory
measure, if necessary. However, it
is not believed that this step Will
be required. Yesterday 10 chill
dren of Juneau received diphtheria
fnnoculations, and absolutely no ill
effects resulted" he declared.
During the last few years, the
diphtheria toxoid has been so per-
fected that only one innoculation is
necessary for immunization, rather
than three, as was previously the
case, according to DR.. Council.
AS it requires approximately three
months for complete immunization,
this work will be done before the
end of the present school term, he
said.

HOPES F0REgALL
OIL PRICE SLASH.
Government Expected to
Take Aggressive Steps
in East Texas Area.
BY the Associated rrsss.

BY the Associated prees.
TULSA, Okla, October 17.-Belief
that the Federal Government viii take
aggressive steps this week to halt
'hot" of movements IN East Texas
apparently has forestalled Temporal
rily crude oil price cut.
The dollar price that has prevailed
for the past year still was perilously
near break. however. and . cut by
the end Of the week or early next
week was considered . possibility.
A decision In the matter Is said In
usually reliable quarters to depend en-
tirely on how quickly and effectively
the Government acts In East Texas.
Z. B. Resser, member Of the oil code
authority. declared only immediate and
positive steps there can prevent a fall.
The long period Of price stability
came close to an end last week, when
for two or three days some interests
postponed q price cut only from hour
to hour, then decided to wait q few
days longer upon announcement of
Secretary Ickes. the petroleum admin
istrator, that . new and determined
drive on hot" oil violators would be-
gin at once.
L. r. Martineau. jr.. Los Angeles.
the special Assistant Attorney Cen
eral appointed at that time to act
in East Texas matters and given COM
plete authority to proceed as he saw
fit under the law, still was In WASH
ington late yesterday. Secretary Ickes
said, however, that Martineau was
going to East Texas "any time now"
TO begin his campaign.
Injunction suits, now favored by
the administration and oil men. would
be followed by criminal prosecution Of
the violators under the law passed at
the last session Of Congress providing
Q penalty Of 10 years In prison or q
$4,000 fine for false certification of
any Government affidavit. Shippers
Of oil in East Texas must certify that
their product was produced or with
drawn from storage legally.
This week there appeared ten
dency upon the part Of the industry
to give the Government one more
chance to show its desire and ability
to stop the racketeering. Otherwise
q reduction Is considered inevitable.

TYPEWR|IERS TAKE
PART NARECOVERY
Strong Demand for U. S.
Models Held Sign of
World Upturn.
By JOHN A. CRONE.
IneciaI n,snsteh In The star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. October l7.-Reviving
world business, the progress Of the
New Deal, and the value Of constant
research are reflected in the current
demand for American typewriters.
The latest models are as different
from pre-depression machines as are
automobiles or radios. They are in
PRODUCING into modern ofice life almost
as much change as air-conditioning,
which indeed is revising typewriter
design dust-proof tops no longer
being considered necessary.
New typewriters not only have colors
and streamlines. but they work with
q speed, efficiency and economy that
surprises even mechanical engineers.
One new model, shown for the first
time here Monday, has 16 major me-
chanical improvements over the best
machine turned out by Its makers only
year ago.
Revival in world trade, according to
international statesmen gathered here
for the thisty-first annual business
show-which incidentally is just twice
as large as that of a year ago-is mir
rored in exports of American business
machines. especially typewriters.
American typewriter exports in the
first seven months of 1884 were up
"a per cent over the same 1888 period.
They are running at the highest rate
since early in 1929. Used as well as
new machines are going overseas.
Foreign demand has virtually ex-
hausted secondhand standard type
writer supplies in the United States.
The New Deal is credited with cre-
ating the scarcity of wide carriage and
special equipment rebuilt or second
hand typewriters, as these machines
are required for the making of sta
tistical records and reports. Shorter
hours and higher wages are credited
with bringing about the brisk demand
for latest models.
Research in all branches of business
machines. especially in typewriters, has
maintained world leadership of these
American products. Born in the de-
preston of 1874, the typewriter ushered
in the era of modern business. It
promises to help business pull out Of
this depression.
