MEASURE MUST BE SENT BACK
 FOR AMENDMENT
President Withholds Ap- proval Because of Un-
 constitutional Clause
DIMOND INTRODUCES
 RECALL RESOLUTION
Takes Prompt Step to Rec tify Error-No Approv-
 al Before Week End

Presi dent Roosevelt has withheld his signature from the Alaska Prohibition repeal bill because of a clause con- tained erein n declared to make the entire law uncOn- stitutiOnaI, said an Ass0ciat- ed Press dispatch from Wash ington to The Empire today.
 Delegate Dimond has intro duced a resolution to recall to the floors of the Senate and House the original bill to rec tify the error.
 Expects Quick Action
 He expects immediate ac- tion by both Houses to that end but he does not think the measure will be signed by the President until after he re- turns from a fishing trip to Florida on which he leaves today.
 The clause in the repealer that gives to the Governor of the Terri tory the power to pardon persons convicted under the Prohibition laws has been decided to be un- constitutional and would render the entire law invalid, the President was advised For that reason he has not signed the bill.
 Signs Election Bill
 The President yesterday affixed his signature to the bill which advances the general Territorial election date to the second Tues day in September this year and every second year thereafter. It also advances the date for conven- ing the biennial sessions of the Alaska Legislature from March to January, beginning with 1935.
 The bill repeating Prohibition laws in Hawaii was also signed by the President yesterday.
 Beard Almost Ready
 The system of regulation and re- striction of private sale of beer, wines and hard liquors, under which the liquor business will be handled, has virtually been com pleted in the formal discussions of the members of the Board of Liquor Control. All of the more important regulations have already been made public. Minor ones are still being considered.
 Members today expressed regret at the delay being encountered, but all of them were glad that the mistake had been discovered in time to rectify it. It was be- lieved that the necessary correction would be made without delay and the measure would be ready for the Presidents signature when he returned early next week

Airplanes Drop Poison o
on Swarming Locusts

A new method of attack is to be tried
against the swarms of locusts which
trouble Africa. An airplane, with Its
wings spouting poison dust-fnely
ground sodium arsenite-is to fly back
and forth in front of the advancing
army of insects, to lay barrage OF
death. The man who will spread the
poison is Fl. H. King, formerly chief
entomologist of the Sudan government,
and his method will be tried In north
ern Rhodesia.
The locusts have long brought
wholesale destruction to crops on the
continent, writes a correspondent in
the New York Herald Tribune, their
damage in tropical and sub-tropical
Africa being estimated at f1,5o0,O0O
annually. Their swarms have been
noted at sea 1900 miles from land,
and one cloud which crossed the Red
sea in 1889 was reported to be about
10000 square miles in extent.
To date there has been no conlIetely
successful method of locust an4ihila-
ton. The usual method of attack in
dealing with the desert locusts is to
kill them In the immature (hopper)
stage by means Of poisoned bats laid
on the ground. However, this does
not work well in the case of the mlgra-
tory locusts, as the hoppers of this
species do not partake OF the bait
readily.
Several groups in England have been
working to eliminate the locust plague.
The Royal Aircraft establishment, the
Imperial Institute of Entomology, and
the chemical research department of
the war office, all have aided the To-
Gust control committee of the eco
nomic advisory council.

Use of Bait in Fishing
Fist Adopted by Fish

While catching fish with bait is an
ancient occupation which men have
been pursuing since very early times,
fish themselves began 1t long before
any men existed, states Alfred c.
Weed, assistant curator of fishes at
the Chicago Field museum.
Angler-fshes are found in all seas.
from the edge of the surf to extremely
great depths. In keeping with their
extensive distribution tie angler-hshes
show great variations in form, but are
all alike in certain structural features.
All have side Ems developed and used
as legs and feet. Curiously, what would
normally be considered front legs are
behind. and what would correspond
10 hind legs are in front; that is, the
'yentral (hind leg) fins are under the
Throat, and the pectoral (foreleg or
sarm) fins are near the tail
Strangest of all, those fishes have
on the head an organ consisting of a
Slender rod with a fieshy part at its
hip used as bait. The fishes do their
angling after the Eskimo fashion rath-
Ter than that of the white man. The
Eskimo moves piece of ivory In the
water and when a trout comes to look
ht it, strikes with his spear. The an
gler-iish waves its bait like a flag.
When some small fish or crab comes

hnd swallows the victim.
Some of the angler-fshes have long
fsh-rods with strangely formed bats.
hIany of the bats are luminous to at
kract their prey in the darkness of the
pecan depths. Often the bait of the an
