LARGE CROWD IS LOOKED FOR AT
 BARBECUE FEAST
Plans Completed by Wom- en Democrats for De-
 lightful Time Monday

Plans are all complete for the informal barbecue to be held on Monday evening by the Women's D mocratic Club of Gastineau Channel at the c. P. Jenne cabin at Point Louisa, Mrs. G. E. Krause, president of the club said today.
 Both food and transportation have been arranged for and large turnout is expected to be on hand to enjoy the big dinner, which will be served around a big bonfire on the beach if the weather is fine, and in the large living room of the Jenne cabin should it prove unfav- orable.
 Transportation Reservations
 All who wish to make reserva- tions for transportation are re- quested to get in touch with Mrs. E. A. Friend, Mrs. Ray G. Day, Mrs. G. E. Krause or Mrs c. P. Jenne today, tomorrow, or, at the latest, Monday morning, so that there will be an ample number of cars on hand, to accommodate everyone
 Members of the club will take their husbands or escorts as guests of the evening. Any woman of Cas- tineau Channel, who wishes to join the organization, is urged to at tend the barbecue with husband or friend as new members will be welcomed at the gathering.
 While raw materials for the bar- becue have been arranged for, some members have expressed the desire to take special dishes they think will add to the occasion. Mrs. Ray G. Day, who is in charge of the commissary department, an- nounced that it would be quite all right for any one to bring along a favorite dish though there will be plenty of food on hand, pre- pared by experts.
 A number of members from Doug- las have expressed their intention of being present, and it is hoped that there will be a big group from across the Channel who will join the crowd.

SUIT FILED TO| STOP PAYMENTS BY TERRITORY
Klawock Man Seeks h. junction to Prevent Pay-
 ment of Pensions, etc.

A suit to enjoin the Territory from paying any further pensions to aged persons, mothers pensions, and any sums for relief of destitu- tion, and needy and indigent was filed in the Federal District Court here today by William L. Paul, as at; t;orney for Charles Demmert, flor himself and other taxpayers sim ilarly situated" Demmert is busi- ness man of the Indian village at Klawock.
 An order to show cause was is sued by Judge G. F. Alexander to- day which will be heard by him on June 25 The suit is brought against Walstein G. Smith, as Treasurer of Alaska.
 Constitutionality Attacked
 The constitutionality of the laws under which the appropriations made for the speific purposes named is attacked in the complaint filed by MT. Paul. A temporary injunction was originally asked for pending hearing of the suit, but this petition was stricken in Court this morning.
 The basis of the suit is under stood to be the phrase in the laws which expressly prohibit payment of pensions, etc, to persons who are eligible to receive aid from the Federal Government through the Interior Department. This is alleged to be discriminatory against pt sons of Indian blood and thus gives special benefits to particular classes of residents Payment, it is charged, of any sums from the several appropriations is illegal.
 Pension Suit Pending
 A suit to compel the Territory to pay mothers pension to Mrs. Lilly Scott was filed several weeks ago by MT. Paul. A demurrer to the original complaint was sus- tained by Judge Alexander some time ago.
 Today MT. Paul filed an amended complaint. A second demurrer was promptly filed by Attorney General J. s. Truitt which will be heard by the Court in about two weeks.

WASHINGTON, June 9-Bolts of oratory, flashing from both political camps, have set the campaign for seats in Congress in motion.
 The adoption of national policy by the Republican National Com mittee was heralded in the burst of speeches.

 Third Party Talk
 Third Party talk has started, much of it from Senator La Fol- lette who said he was sure the de- pression would eventually create a new political group.
 Gen. Johnson found no good words for the Republican social program and said: "The social program is from that crew under the Jolly Roger You might as well try to pick fleas from the sand pile with boxing gloves on your fingers. They say they don't like a dictatorship. The fact is, under their system, we have had a dicta- torship in this country for almost all of the time since the Civil War and up to Franklin D. Roose- welt only it has been a concealed dictatorship"
