Manager Lew Fonseca, in his drive

He isn't satisfied by any means with

BORAH'S PLAN
 FOR CAMP AICN
 PLEASES COP,
Against New Deal Fits Exactly Into
 Republican Scheme
By HERBERT HUMMER

WASHINGTON, July 14.-The decision of Senator Borah of Idaho to take the stump during the sum- mer months in opposition to those phases of the new deal' which he dislikes must have been good news to Republican leaders.
 While Borah is not taking the trail for the benefit of the Re- publican Party, what he has to say against new deal' policies fits in perfectly with G. O. P. plans.
 That is to be the Republican line of attack in the Congressional elec- tions campaign.
 Borah has repeatedly said he was convinced the American peo- pie are drifting along in danger ous direction and that unless they woke up soon disaster was certain. He is particularly afraid of the policies being pursued by the AAA.
 He envisions final dictation of the life of the American farmer from a bureau in Washington un- less something is done to halt present policies.

Informs Gov. Troy Cannot Accept Invitation to
 Chamber Luncheon

The invitation of the Chamber of Commerce to Secretary Daniel e. Roper to be its guest at a luncheon on his return trip south was today declined in a telegram from the Secretary who was in Dutch Harbor. It was indicated he will return directly south instead of revisiting Southeast Alaska points.
 Wiring Gov. John w. Troy, through whom the Chamber sent it's invitation to him, MT. Roper said: Please express my thanks to Chamber of Commerce for its invitation and my regrets that l cannot accept it."
 While he was here, the Secretary told the Governor that it was not certain he would be able to return by way of Juneau, although that had been tentatively arranged. It was not unlikely, he said, that the itinerary would be changed and he would return directly south from Dutch Harbor. It is believed that this latter course is being followed.

GEN.. JOHNSON IS CAUSE OF
 TWO PROTESTS
Germany, and Mexico, Too, Resent Utterances m
 Recent Speeches

WASHINGTON, July 14-Barely had the State Department assured the German Embassy yesterday that Gen. Hugh s. Johnson, NRA Administrator, is not spokesman of the American Government on International matters, before word spread throughout the Capital that Mexico too was displeased with the remarks of the quick speaking General.
 The Mexican Embassy declined to discuss the matter but it became known that the Mexican Republic resented Johhson's reference to the killings of Pancho Villa, an epoch of 20 years ago.
 The German complaint resulted in Gen. Johnson'S reference to the recent execution in Germany call ing them "Hitler's Purge" in two addresses he has made in the last few days.
 Mexico, it is understood, wishes to forget the Villa epoch as that state of affairs no longer exists in that nation.
 The German Charge d'Affairs has formally protested to Johnson's re- marks to the State Department.

' The two observation planes, the advance guard of the United States Army's ten Martin bombing planes to fly from Washington, D.

 Captains Ross G. Hoyt and E. B. Bobzien are at the controls and they are making an inspection of the fields where the expedition will land during the flight and also make arrangements for the sup plies, gasoline and oils.
 The two Captains are expected to arrive in Juneau tomorrow to inspect the landing field being constructed here. This afternoon, Charles E. Smith, Operator-in- Charge of the local Radio Office; Curtis Shattuck, Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, and Frank Knight, who arrived on a Fairchild plane yesterday from Seattle, and an old army field inspector, went out to the landing field, and if it is declared in condition now for a landing, the two observation planes may come here tomorrow. If the field is not properly prepared yet for a landing, a seaplane will be sent from Juneau to bring the two captains here to make an inspec- ton and give suggestions.

 AS TO EXECUTIONS
Speech Is Reply to Critics Defiance Given toFoes
 Asks Blind Obedience

BERLIN, July IA. = Chancellor Adolf Hitler, in a speech to the world said Is persons paid the supreme penalty for 'treachery'' in suppression of the rebellious Nazis last month.
 The chancellor said that among those executed were 30 high Storm Troop leaders, 31 lesser Storm Troop leaders and members as well as some special guards.
 Several leaders were shot in re- sisting arrest and three others shielded, he said
 Chancellor Hitler said: We have not made revolution as Anarchists but as Executives We have removed from the regime those responsible for the revolt"
 The Chancellor admitted frank ly that i've are filled with deep apprehension with economic wor- ries, and anxiety has almost weighed me down."
 SIumps In Chair
 Hitler's speech stood as q defin- ite marker of his road to building a new Germany.
 Hundreds of Nazis rose and cheered when the address, an ex- planation of the executions, was ended.
 The Chancellor scarcely noticed the cheers and slumped into chair and seemed somewhat dazed and beWildered. He had fallen al- most to his knees in making the address which was his answer to those who criticized his 'liquida- tion of traitors" defiance to his foes, an appeal for continued and renewed blind obedience to his authority, more firing squads, and more purging by blood of those who challenge his rule in Ger many.
 Boycott Threat
 The Chancellor declared that by 'sboycotts" of certain nations, Ger many would make herself "inde- pendent through our ability and the ingeniusness of our inventors and chemists"
 The Chancellor took full respons- ibility for the execution of the 76 men and one woman in the June 30 '.purging" and said he will not hesitate to strike down any others who dare to defy the state.
 The reference to boycott is taken as Hitler's defiance to any foreign country that seeks to express crit icism of his plans.

CAN LAND HERE

Late this afternoon a radiogram was sent to the two Captains at Whitehorse. that the landing field here was O. K. and they could land safely.
 Irresponsible alleged news agencies reported yesterday and the night before that the Martin bombing expedition had been indefinitely postponed but no one in authority had received any word to this effect and the continued flight of the observation planes bears out the falsity of the wild canard.
