no request for any candidate to file.
But on both sides in this contest there
were dummy candidates. There was
nothing I could do or Senator Brous-
sard (his opponent) could do to pre-
vent the filing of dummy candidates
who had filed in the interest of other
candidates.
Senator Overton said that an ap-
peal against any dummy candidates
could be made to the Democratic
Party Committee and that committee
could deal drastically with them. He
insisted the Broussard people had not

Restraining Order Asked
Against E nforci g
Presidents Policy.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Elm a
suit in which a concern assails the
NRA as unconstitutional and is
considered as likely to develop into
a major test of the Blue Eagle
agency, the w. Ames Company, a
Jersey City steel concern, today
filed an action for an injunction in
the District of Columbia Supreme
Court.
The petition asks that Secretary
of Interior Harold l.. Ickes, Secre-
tary of Agriculture H. A. Wallace
and Thomas Macdonald, chief of
the Bureau of Public Roads, be
restrained from enforcing an execu-
tive order which is alleged to have
led to an Illegal boycott.

concerns which fail to comply with
code requirements.

Presidents unemployment agree
ment nor any other code, and said
it had lost several contracts through
the order.

Press, Washington
Although it is impossible COM
pletely to separate one from the
other, the emphasis at Washing
ton today is more and more on re-
form, less and less on recovery
alone.
In other words, the Roosevelt ad-
ministration is passing out of its
first phase of purely temporary
emergency legislation, and is giving
increasing thought to permanent
enactments to re-fashion the Amer
lean industrial order.
1t is true that limited number
of the laws passed since March a.
1888, including such examples as
the banking legislation and the
stock market act, were intended
to have both temporary and per-
manent application. But even in
these cases, it was understood re-
visions would be made in the light
of experience.
All of the really major policies
of the administration have been
developed to deal with a temper
airy situation, and were designed
for perpetuation only after COM
plete rewriting, if at all. That is
true of NRA, AAA, PWA and re-
lief.

II Permanent En0ctments to
Re-fdsEiOn the american
Industrial Order Is Plan

For one thing, Mr.. Roosevelt feels
that lessons have been learned
which should be preserved. For an
other thing, it is VIGOROUSLY hard
to cut off a government function
once it has been assumed, and
even harder to legislate government
jobs out of existence once the in
cumbents have entrenched them
selves.
BY and large, the prospect is that
Congress will be asked to write a
good many of the new deal" ideas
into permanent law.

/ MADRID, Oct. GA violent revo-
lutionary effort to overthrow the
Government seemed to be spread
ing last night.
Eighty-five are known to be dead
and 1900 we're arrested up to mid
night.
Extremists are reported to have
destroyed the railway line to Cor
bertoria to prevent troop mobiliza-
ton.
The convent at Bilboa, formerly
Jesuit property, now belonging to
the Government, was raided by the
police and 100 powerful bombs
scores of pistols and much ammu-
milton was found.
Planes roared over towns taken
by the rebels and bombs were drop
ped.
Radicals are reported to be as
sembling in the mountains near
Asturias and gathering fighting
equipment from caches.

SWING TOWARD pERMANENCE


The President himself has indi-
Gated that the more important
features of MIRA will be welded
into a new set-up when the act ex-
pires next June.
Secretary Ickes, whose PWA ap-
preparations also expire in June,
recently suggested that a continu-
ing public works program would be
desirable.
Secretary Wallace wants at least
an indefinite continuation of crop
control under AAA. He probably
even will propose amendments to
strengthen the agricultural act,
which is denominated a temporary
law but can be terminated only by
repeal or Presidential proclamation.
That heavy relief burdens must
continue to be borne by the Fed
eral Government clearly is the view
of Relief Administrator Hopkins.
Officials of the CCC recently pro-
posed making it a permanent part
of the government. The subsistence
homestead agency shows every de-
termination to go ahead despite its
troubles at Reedsville.
OF course, a sudden change in
the economic or political situation
might greatly affect Washington
policy, but for the present the in
clination seems to be largely to-
ward erasing the word temporary
and writing in the word "permal
nent" in describing the new DEAF
policies.

BRIDGE PLANS
PRESENTED TO
CITY COUNCIL
Several Matters Some Up
for Discussion Be-
fore Councilmen

o. H. Stratton, consulting engi-
neer for the bridge projects OF the
public city Improvements under the
PWA grant and loan to the city OF
juneau, and city engineer M. A.
Lagergren, presented the prelimi-
nary plans for the Gold Creek
bridge on Calhoun Road to the city
council at the regular meeting
last evening.
In the plans it was estimated
that a new bridge constructed on
the road, eliminating the present
deep curve would cost approxi-
mately $13,500 while one built on
the site of the present bridge
would require about $780, After
some discussion, it was considered
best to build the new bridge on the
site of the present bridge, due to
the smaller expense. 1t was also
decided to open negotiations with
property owners on Irwin Street
to cut off portion of the prop
erty near Twelfth Street so as
to widen the curve into Twelfth.
This bridge, as planned, is to
have a 20-foot roadway and 5-foot
sidewalk.
Clubwomen Present
Representative of the Business
and Professional Women's Club and
the Juneau Woman's Club attended
the meeting to present a petition
requesting that policewoman be
appointed by the city to supervise
places of amusement where young
people gather Mrs. David Wag-
goner presented the petition on be-
half of the Woman's Club and 9TH
ers who spoke in its favor were
Mrs. Hazel Ferguson, Mrs. Pearl
Burford and Mrs R. R. Hermann,
and the Rev. John A. Glasse. The
petition was referred to the police
committee of the city council.
Mayor I. Goldstein declared that
he believed a policewoman unnec-
essary as police reports show that
few complaints have been received
about minors. Councilman George
B. Rice was the only member of
the council to express himself in
favor of policewoman on the city
force.
Radio Interference
H. E. REGGIE, Radio Inspector, de-
clared that he had encountered con-
siderable difficulty in getting peo-
pie to cooperate in removing in
references and recommended that
full time employee be added to
the city force to handle the situa-
ton, he also recommended that
an inspector from the Federal Blu
reau of Communications be request
ed to come to Juneau to go into
the major sources of trouble.
Library Report
In the monthly report submitted
by Miss Ann Coleman, City Librar-
ian, it was disclosed that total cir
culation of books during the month
OF September totaled 2,483 valumes,
1880 of which were borrowed by
adults and 1853 by juveniles.
G. V. Kay, of the Panhandle Air
Transport Company requested per-
mission to moor the hangar of the
company at the lower city float
during the winter months. This
was refused due to the crowded
condition of the float, but arrange
ments were made to have the
hangar moored by the rock dump.
