BU0YANT CHIEFS. TAKE INVENTORY 'OF SOVIET UNION
By CHAs. STEPHENSON SMITH


 MOSCOW, Nov. G. It Is a con- fident and buoyant government which is preparing to celebrate it's seventeenth birthday here Novem- Der T.
 The Bolshevist' leaders who will mount Lenin's tomb that day to review the usual parade of soldiers, sailors, workers and peasants, have overcome many of the obstacles which the Soviet union faced when it laid Lenin to rest 10 years ago.
 The particular reason for rejoic- ing among the Kremlin leaders this year is the success of the col lective farming plan. With nearly 70 per cent of the farm families of the Soviet Union in collectives and with a crop collection this year which the government says is as large as last years in spite of bad weather conditions, Stalin and his associates feel the agricultural DTODl6Il lS WCA Oll lOo way OO oO lution and the battle with kulaks is practically at an end. State farms have not made a good showing, but they are being split up into smaller units so as to correct the lack of labor which has handicapped the farms run under the direct supervision of the government.
 Siberia is the weakest spot in the agricultural program. That vast territory made a poor showing lr grain contributions, falling far short of the plan. The government attributes this to inefficient party direction and a general shakeup iS in progress in Cheliabinsk and oth- CT sections where the kulak influ- ence has not been overcome.
 While light industry has made a rather disappointing showing SC

hear similar conditions obtain at most of the older camps including the Circle district, the American Forty Mile, the Jack Wade and Chicken Creek countries as well as around Atlin in Northwestern British Columbia .g.t
 "The Kluhane district had a small stampede while I was in Whitehorse and operators are hope ful that it will be a real strike.
 "Our company has had req sonably successful year and we. are looking forward to as good or bet ter in 1895. The return to old Klondike days will undoubtedly bring it many tourists next year to see how gold is produced
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-11-06

far this year, heavys industry has almost fulfilled it's plan so far and special effort is being made to 1in- ish the twelve months with a per feet record. Copper, lead and brass have fallen far behind pig iron, steel and other branches of heavy industry. Crude oil has also Jagged.
 The Russian Communist party apparently is in good condition. There are no evidences. of any quarrels among important leaders Rakowsky Kamenev and other as sociates of Trotzky who confessed their errors, have been forgiven. Rakowsky is now in Japan at the head of the Russian delegation to the International Red Cross.
 Fear of attack by other powers which existed in Lenin's declining days no longer has the paralyzing effect it did then. While the Bol- sheviks are active in diplomatic efforts to avoid war. their great army in Eastern Siberia and new industries with an output far Tn excess of czaristic days have given them confidence they can take care of themselves.
 Furthermore they feel the ex- ample of a strong workers govern ment which Moscow has given to the masses, has stirred up opposi- ton to war which will deter inn perialistic governments from hostile action.

Pathetic scribblings of children,
untainted by the cynicism Of
grownups, are making impressive
pleas to Santa Claus this year,
as the local Post Office reports a
substantial increase in this type
Of request.
More eloquent than all the ora
tory of the ages. the letters,
scrawled for the most part by
poor urchins whose parents can
not afford Christmas gifts, are
pouring into the local Post o.
flee at the rate of about Is a
day. City Postmaster William M.
Mooney reported today almost
200 letters have been received to
date. Many more are anticipated.
Most of the letters are ad-
dressed to Santa Claus, Wash
ington, D. c." Postmaster Mooney
said they are turned over to rich
people and various organizations
who make a practice each year
of caring for children who write
the letters.
There are about 1000 packages
in the Post Office today as the
number of misdirected first-claSs
mail has swelled to the total Of
about 850.000 for the year. Every
attempt is made to locate the
party to whom the package or
letter is mailed.
Part of the Post Office has
been assigned for handling dam.
aged parcels. Employees are busily
engaged in patching the broken
packages, rewrapping and securely
binding the loosely tied parcels
and preparing the articles for

IN ASYLUM
NEAR COLLAPSE

MARION, Va, Dec. 20.-Near
collapse, Deacon Edward c. Bell,
former prominent Fredericksburg
church and civic leader who was
accused of poisoning his invalid
wife, Mrs. Madge Bell, was resting
today in the Southwestern State
Hospital for the Insane here.
Deacon Bell was ordered COM
mitted to the institution for OBJ
servation by Judge Frederick W..
Coleman after jury was unable
to return a verdict after a sensa'
tional eight day trial in which in
sanity was offered as a plea by
defense attorneys.
The jury was discharged late
Tuesday night, deadlocked, with
seven members voting for ver-
dict of guilty and five voting for
acquittal on grounds of insanity.
Deacon Bell was taken into
custody at once and taken to the
hospital by automobile yesterday,
300 mile drive.
DR.. George Wright, superin,
tendent of the hospital, said to.
day.
BELL is exhausted by the
strain of the trial and the hard
drive yesterday.
$50 today 1 have ordered that
he be allowed to rest, and we
will start our tests tomorrow.
"First will come a general
physical examination, and then
laboratory tests.
"ThiS will give us a basis to
work on, and then we shall be-
gin our observations. 1t will
probably be a month before we
have reached a conclusion as to
his sanity"
If Deacon Bell is pronounced
insane, he will be kept at the in
stitution until cured. If found
sane, however, he will be re-
turned to Fredericksburg and
again placed on trial on the pois-
oning charges.

30-DAY LEAVES
HELD To COST
j. 8. NOTHING
Move for Restoration of vaCa-
tionS to Be Pushed in
Congress

Advocates of restoration Of 80
days annual leave for Government
employees today disclosed that they
have information from various
Federal agencies showing that ap-
proval of their proposal will cost
the Government virtually no in
creased expenditures"
This argument, it was pointed
out, should have considerable
weight in success of the move
ment to repeal the economy pro-
vision which curtails the Govern
ment employees leave from 30 to
Is days.
The existing statute is part Of
the economy legislation. 1t origi-
nally was proposed as tempo
rary proposition by the Admins
tration, which contended that en-
actment of the proposal would
permit a substantial reduction in
Governmental expenditures.
Since Made Permanent
Since that time, however, the
provision has been incorporated
as a permanent law.
The proponents of the move
ment to restore the 80 days an
nual leave contend that their
proposition should be accepted on
several grounds.
One is that after the leave Pc
riod was reduced, the Government
was not saved any money because
there were no employees dismissed
on account of the legislation.
On the other hand, it is argued,
restoration of the 30-day leave pro.
vision would not require the Gov
ernment to take on any additional
employees, except in a scattered
few places, such as police guards.
This contention is based on the
information obtained from the
various Government departments
and agencies by the American
Federation of Government EN-
ployes.
Although the provision which
reduced the leave is contained in
the independent offices appropria-
tions bill as part of the economy
legislation, it is scarcely possible
that it can be repealed by an
amendment to that measure.

Reports that this Government
intended to propose to Great
Britain, Japan and the other
signatories Of the naval treaties
that they state their intentions
regarding the scrapping of naval
warships during the next two
years were flatly denied by Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull today.
The reports were based on the
grounds that the existing naval
treaties contain "loopholes"
through which the various naval
powers might be able to gain
advantages unless there was
definite understanding concern

provided under the treaties.

j. 8. OPENS WAR
DIRECTLY ON
UTILITIES
Plan to Finance Power Plant
For New York Is Start of
Open Competition
BY International News Service
President Roosevelt's New Deal

President RooSeVelt'S New Deal
moved deep into the commercial
power production field today.
In the Administrations an.
nounced willingness to finance a
power plant for New York city,
the Federal Government revealed
a policy much more far reaching
than that involved merely in the
establishment of it's Tennessee
Valley and similar projects.
The New York city plant-if
and when constructed-Will step
into direct competition with pri.
vate utilities. It was made clear
at the White House that such is
the intention of Mr.. Roosevelt in
view of what Mayor Fiorella La
Guardia, of New York, calls "the
outrageous rates" charged by the
private utilities now serving the
metropolis.
Sales System Planned
Back of the plans for con-
struction Of the New York plant
lies an even bigger project in the
Empire State. In announcing
that the Government intended
financing a plant for his city
Mayor LaGuardia boldly termed
the proposed power production
plan as the nucleus Of a State
wide distributing system.
Never before has the Admin
istration SO bluntly served an
ultimatum on private utilities
that they must cut rates or face
the alternative of Federal pro-
duction of electrical energy on
national scale.
Specific plans for the New
York plant moved forward here
speedily. A one-day visit by
Mayor LaGuardia prepared the
way. Mayor LaGuardia saw Pres
ident Roosevelt early in the fore
noon and later conferred with
Public Works Administrator Har-
old Ickes. After these confer
ences, Mr.. Ickes revealed he ten
tatively approved a plan under
which the PWA will finance the
power production plant in New
York.
Cost Is Is Million
Mr.. Ickes estimated the plant
would cost Is million dollars. OF
this the Government under it's
public works and unemployment
relief policies would supply $3,-
250,000 of the money, and loan
the remaining $11,750,000 to the
city.
Apparently there is little chance
of Mayor LaGuardia or the Fed
eral Government abandoning its
New York city plan should the
private utilities now serving the
city promise to reduce rates. This
question was put point blank to
Mayor LaGuardia and he did not
like the idea of such a suggestion,

did not get those low rates here
until there was the threat of
a municipality owned plant"

President Roosevelt'S whole
strategy in this matter is to
bring down electric light bills
where people are paying rates
which help pay dividends to
watered stock holding companies.
He made that clear at his press
conference yesterday, calling at
tention to the fact that the Sc
curities of many operating COM
panies are as fundamentally
sound as any stocks and bonds in
the world.
He used strong, understandable
words to bring out that fact. He
said plainly that the curse of
the power situation is in the
huge watered holding company
structures which produce no
power but have built up fragile
financial structures like the insult
empire which collapsed, carrying
financial destruction to tens Of
thousands of investors, running
banks and depicting investment
trusts.
Many. of the officials of these
holding companies have a firm
grip on anti-Roosevelt politics.
This promises political fight to
a fare-ye-well.
The situation, therefore, today
indicates that New York city,
backed by the Roosevelt admin
itSration. is in a position to force
down electric rates, and it will
use the club it has received here
to beat the New York Edison Com
pany and other large New York
State companies. If the corpora
tions refuse, the PWA has prom
ised to go ahead and lend the
money,
