PRESIDENTS FAN MAIL Is NOW
SHOWN TO Be G, 500 LETTERS DAILY

Some open: Dear Franklin but
these usually reflect feeling of
honest intimacy that no man could
resent. Often they include some
expression of good will toward the
presidents family or reference to
some personal incident that has
reached the papers.
"Not long ago when Winks, one
of the White House dogs, broke
in and played havoc with the
breakfast set out for the house,
hold staff we got scores of letters
asking that Winks be not punish
ed. Some offered to take the dog
and give him good home if he
proved too mischievous for the
executive mansion.
+ "Of course, we get quantities
of propaganda letters-letters OBJ
viously inspired by groups or or
CARNATIONS and bearing upon some
bill or administration project.
These are easily recognized by the
similarity of their wording. Incl
dentally, they are virtually the
only letters coming to the White
House which are not really read.
"The rest of the mail is read
really read, for the president has
always maintained that a person
al letter, not from the head of a
great corporation or a statesman
or a financier, but from the farm
err or miner or little, shopkeeper
or clerk who honestly expresses
his convictions, is the most per-
feet index to the state of mind of
the people. ~ =
"About three quarters Of the
mail can be handled directly by
the department to which It is re-
ferred. Some of the writer's are
informed from the mail office
that their letters. by direction of
the president, have been referred
to certain departments; most of
the letters are acknowledged by

the departments. Every letter, is
read and disposed of BY someone
qualified to discuss the subject Of.
the letter. and more letters than.
you'd think out of such large
mail come either directly or indi-
rectly to the attention of the
president himself.
"For one thing, the president
has always insisted that he be
sent daily batch of letters pick
ed at random from the miscel-
laneous mail. These are letters
which might well be handled by
departments direct. but the presi-
dent likes to see cross section
of the daily mail, and not infres
quently answers, himself, some of
the letters contained in this batch.

Especial to The Citi.en)

NEW YORK, May 24.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's daily mail has
now reached an average of $500
letters daily-a new all-time
White House record. Under pre-
vious administrations the average
ran around 500 to 600 letters a
day.
Until Roosevelt took office, one
man had always been able, with a
small filing and messenger staff,
to scan and distribute all the in
coming White House mail. Now
rs men are engaged in sorting, di-
costing and distributing the let
tiers which come in. An analysis
of the presidents mail bag has
been prepared by his chief secre-
tary, Louis McHenry Howe, and
is published in the American
Magazine.
apparently everyone writes to
the president these days." says
Mr.. Howe. 1--WE get letters from
distinguished and famous persons
and from obscure citizens all over
the country. The first group have
probably always engaged in cor
respondence with the White House,
but ordinary citizens are evident
ly doing so for the first time.
"Most of the letters are formal
in their salutation: Dear Sir or
Dear Mr.. President they begin.

FAIRBANKS AUTO CoLLIDES
 WITH BEAR ON HIGHWAY

Another hazard to travel on Alaskan roads was revealed in Fairbanks recently, reports the Fairbanks News-Miner, when Max Behlk's auto almost had a collision with a 2-year-old black bear about 40 miles from town on the Rich ardson highway.
 The car, in which MT. and Mrs. Behlke and Paul Menzel were rid ing, was rounding a curve on the highway just as the bear, who was coming in the opposite direction. was trying to make the same turn.
 At sight of the car the bear buried his feet in the gravel, try ing to stop: The car driver put on his brakes, also. but too late. The bear turned to the right, and scrambled over the lenders and running board of the car and with a frightening growl in the drivers ear plunged into the brush on the side of the road.

PROSPECTING PARTIES IN
 UNUK REPORT GOOD FINDS

Four known parties, three of them Canadian, have been prospect ing during the past summer in the upper reaches of the Unuk river, all reporting having located valu- able claims, reports the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 The better part of the years work in that region is- nearing a close, the freeze-up being expected within the month. Three of the parties came out yesterday, the fourth having descended the river in August.
 W. A. Proust, heading a party consisting of H. Carlson, Ed Ed wardson, Harry Noble and Jack Krug and representing the Mckay syndicate of Premier, British Co., lumbia, comprised one group of prospectors. Another is a group consisting of R. E. Swartfigure, J. Storie, H. Kay and Olaf Bjorke.
 Mother Lode
 Their claims are adjoining on Canadian soil, on the north fork of the Unuk river, about 55 miles from the rivers mouth. It is the belief and contention of the pros pectors that they are in the moth CT lode which is believed to run from the Hyder and Premier prop critics through the range north ward, coming out again in the Taku river country.

sure from day to day what their obligations and liabilities are to the Government and to their fel- lows; that there Is no continuity of purpose and method in the Gov ernment's conduct toward business and without that they can move only at enormous risk to them selves and all those dependent on them.
 If these charges are based on fact, and these are the real reasons why business cannot make pro- gress. then the blame, it is point ed out, lies at the door of either the NRA or the AAA. The Nation al Recovery A m i n i istra ion, through it's codes, controls directly today approximately so percent of the country's business activity, and the AAA. through it's process ing tax. crop and price control, in dirctly affects the entire life of the nation. But 1t is not the codes. processing taxes and other ele-
 
 are inherently evil, it is also pointed out, but the manner and method of their administration. In bther words, business would ap- pear to be saying today: "We can accommodate ourselves to anything that is clearly defined and intelli- gently administered.
 If, therefore, these bankers and business men have correctly de- fined their troubles, the issue, it is declared, is squarely up to the executive branch of the Govern ment; in fact to the President himself In any event, clearly de- fined governmental policies, rules and regulations can only make for progress and should be immediately forthcoming.-Ex.

WHAT IS WRONG?

There are many schools of eco- homie thought in the Nation 8 Capital these days There are those who profess to believe that we are still making progress toward na- tional rehabilitation slow pro- gress, they admit. but progress. nevertheless there are others who think the upward clumb of indus try and employment has ceased; that, in reality, if we would read the signs correctly, we would again observe the nation on the retro grade; there are still others with nerves worn threadbare by long waiting and watching. who are convinced we are on the verge of another economic collapse such as overlook us following the debacle of 1929. and immediately after President Roosevelt's inauguration
 Some say we can get nowhere until the heavy industries start on an expanding scale through the use of governmental and banking ere dit; others contend that the heavy industries are dependent upon a broad revival of building opera tions and that this is impossible, due to high wages and high ma terial costs; still others will sug- gest that neither heavy industry nor building can get under way without loosening of credit; that, in fact the crux of all evil con- ditions is restricted and conse- quently unused credit.
 Recently the President called upon the Federal Reserves bank examiners to loosen credit, to ap- ply to it an undefined "rule of reason" The President is immedi- ately advised by a group of bank CTS that the examiners are exercis- ing their authority reasonably and that the trouble is not there. They say, further, that they as bank CTS are ready and willing to lend, and what is more important, that there are numerous good industrial risks who need money and would borrow but for one thing.
 Now, perhaps, these bankers have discovered the light ray that will dispel this economic fog. At least their reply to the President and their explanation appeals to many as reasonable. They say the one thing restraining business men in the use of credit to expand their industries is the confusion and un- certainty of governmental policies and rulings; that they cannot mea-

KENNEC0TT LAD DIES OF
 INFANTILE PARALYSIS

A former Alaskan boy, Dick Schneeberger. has fallen a victim to infantile paralysis and died a short time ago at his home in Se- attle. Dick, the fourteen-year-old son of Mr and Mrs. Richard Schneeberger, spent several years at Kennecott, where his father was employed by the Kennecott Copper Corporation and later moved to Cordova. His parents and a sister, Gretchen, survive him.
 According to word received by James F. Dennis of Juneau, the boy spent an active day hunting and hiking with his father and boy friends, and on the next day com plained of a headache. He was ad- mitted to a Seattle hospital for treatment and died the following day of infantile paralysis.

LAGERGREN GIVEN CHARGE OF JUNEAU PWA ENGINEER WORK

The engineering work in connec- tion with the $1O3,00O PWA i'm provement at Juneau will be in charge of Milton A. Lagergren, who assumed his duties September 24, after appointment by the city coun- cil.
 Lagergren was graduated from Juneau high school in 1928. He took a degree in mining engineer ing at the Colorado School of Mines in 1883 and was awarded the liar ry J. Wolf medal for the highest scholastic record for four years work.

ounces of gold, carry the hopes of the men. The claims of the Proust party take in a belt that carries values throughout minimum width of five feet.
 Both parties have spent the ma jor part of the summer in diamond drilling and open cut work, all of which adds to the faith in their finds.
 These men went into the Unuk river country by planes, having been preceded by two men, Robert Wilson and Ray Nichols. who are believed to represent a group of Prince Rupert mining investors.
 The fourth party Is made of Ket- chikan men, George King, and Tho mas McQuillan. The latter has fre- quented the Unuk river valley for the past few seasons as a trapper in the winter time and a prospec- tor in the summer months and gen erally is credited at Ketchikan with being the man most familiar with the territory.
 A portion of the ground attract ing interest has been previously prospected and located in early mining days. Much of the district lies in Canadian territory. Higher values for gold admittedly are re- sponsible for the recent work
