Price Sees Darrow Report
 Confusing Political Lenders
 and Settlin 2 No Squabbles
~ By BYRON PRICE u..2. (Chief of Bureau. The Associated
 Press. Washington

--- By BFkON PRICE r...s.. (Chief of Bureau, The Associated
 Press, Washington
 The political possibilities of the Darrow incident are so many and varied that some of the wisest in Washington are keeping very quiet for the moment.
 They know the picture has changed rapidly, and may change again. The only certainty is that the dispute over MIRA is far from ended. At this stage nothing seems to have been settled, nobody seems satisfied.
 It is obvious that if the voters are to be asked to pass any sort of judgment during the coming campaign, the issue first must be reduced to understandable terms.
 The report of MT. Darrow and his board of review is so volu- minous that comparatively few ever will read it. The MIRA reply is just as long. Both are, in large part, written in the numbering lan- guage of lawyers, and studded with technical references.
 The real significance of the con- troversy has been obscured further by the sandstorm of hot words and personal opinions which accom- panied report and reply.
 Darrow's remark that socialism is the only real solution, although not a part of the majority report, got pretty well confused with it; and the strong epithets used by General Johnson and others raised up controversies within contro- versies.

FEDERAL BANK
 INSURANCE ACT
 EXTENDED HERE
Delegate Dimond Gets Amendment Adopted to
 Bill Expanding System

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 25, Special Correspondence) At the instance of Delegate Dimond the House of Representatives on May g adopted an amendment to the act prolonging for one year the temporary plan for bank deposit insurance which will extend that povision of the Banking Act of 1883" to Alaska and Hawaii.
 If the amendment prevails dur ing the forthcoming meeting be- tween Senate and House conferees the deposit feature will be in eff feet in the not distant future in those Alaska banks which choose to become members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
 Two reasons impelled MT Di- mond to offer the amendment:
 1. The opportunity was present. ed for inclusion of Alaska banks without the requirement. of mem bership in the Federal Reserve System, feature to which several had strenuously objected as not being fitted for the Territorial Banking System.
 The act under consideration in creases insurance from s2500 to $5,0O0. If Alaska banks were not qualified to offer this insurance, it was feared there would be very substantial drift of money to banks in the States where such protec- ton could be had.
 No bank not member of the Federal Reserve System is required to become member of the Fed eral Deposit Insuranc Corporation and none can until it has ur1- dergone an examination-but it is matter of record that more than 90 per cent of eligible banks have joined.
 It is said many bankers who at first felt the deposit insurance plan offered no advantages but many disadvantages have changed their minds. since money long in hoarding was banked once the owners realized it was fully pro tected.
 Through the efforts of Delegate Dimond, working in cooperation with the Department of Justice, an allotment of $14,000 has been ob- tained from the Public Works Ad- ministration. This money will be used in repairing federal buildings in the Third Divison. Buildings on which work will be done include

WASHINGTON June 5-Great Britain dispatched a note to the State Department late yesterday informing the making any payment the debt instalment due on June 15. The amount due is nearly 100000.
 few minutes before the British note made public L. Astrom Finnish Minister, informed the State Department the Finnish Government would usual make full payment in cash of it's debt nstament amounting $66538 June 5. Great Britain has previously made token payments
 Failure to make token payment this time is at trbuted to the Johnson bill which held that any nation default if not paying the debt installment in full
 British Argument
 The British note said that payment in full would re- qure England to call upon her own debtors and int mated such would upset the financial structure of Europe and the entire world and would postpone ndefn itey chance of world recovery.
 The note further said the British had intention however of repudang her debt to the United States and is ready to enter conference debts whenever the President of the United States considered it expeden
 Official Washington is not surprised at the arguments put forth and they are to large degree reteraon of the British note in December, 1882.

BOXING HOLDS

Hotpoints, Squibbs Win Only Pin Matches Play

Boxing interferred som wh a t

Boxing interferred some what
 with bowling last night, so the Elk A League, only was able to stage two of it's scheduled three contests last night at Elks Alleys. The Walkover Hart, Schaffner & Marx mix was postponed
 In the opener, Hotpoints trim med s & w in three straight games, although the second contest found the Hotpoints winning by but 462-460 H
 The second fracas ended in a 2-to-1 decision for Squibbs over
 Happy Homes. Here, the rivalry was keen. Mrs. B.

fight of the evening for those who like solid wallops and boxing sci ence. Although there were hardly seven blows struck by both com petitors in the one and one-half rounds before Nelson scored g technical knockout, the fight was a good one.
 The battlers, who had drawn thrice before, came out slowly at the opening bell. Nelson got in the first good punch--a hard right to the face which jared the Indian and put him down while Referee Harold Regele tolled eight A few more cautious seconds ticked by and then Nelson crossed his foe with a rocking left to send him down again for another 8-count.
 The second, and final canto found Wright executing a wary Indian war dance around the stolid Nelson who stood in the center oi the ring while the crowd shouted for action. But action came quick ly and suddenly Sammy heaved a sizzling right-and the Indian went down shaking the stars from hi; head. A towel at Regele's nine count made the official verdict g technical" knockout.
 Semi-Final Tame
 The other four-round semi-fina, was a tame affair, with Red Nix on losing a decision to long armed George Bigley. The winner didn't have much punch, but Nixon felt rightly, that he could have usec two or three more inches in his reach, so didn't mix.
 'Andsome Arry Jones rousec himself in the third and fina round of his special event witf Phillip Joseph, Douglas Indian, and earned popular draw after the Indian boxer had established 8 nlce polnt lead In the flrSt tWt rounds. Jones went down for shorl counts twice in the first canto but rallied brilliantly in the fina, 30 seconds of the melee for the draw.
 Action was present in large quantities as two junior light weights, Tacoma, Georgie Stevens and Filipino Joe swarmed all ovel each other. The decision to Stew ems was a popular one.
 The bouts, although started l! minutes late, were run off in spec. dy fashion. Joe Collier and Fred. die Mack, popular Juneau fight CTS, received good hands from tht crowd when they were introduced at the ringside before the mair event.

HULSE SCORES
 K. Q. WIN OVER HEAVIER BOXER
Nelson Technical Knockout Victor with Indian
 at Smoker

Sometime, Granny" Hulse, Ju- neau's fistic favorite of the mo- ment, will meet boxer who be- ! lieves~ as Granny" does, that "the lbest offense is the best defense" But that sometime wasn't last night, so Hulse, after building up nice point advantage, knocked out Kid Broz of Bellingham, Wash, light heavyweight, in the sixth round of the main event on last nights winter opening boxing show ' at E1ks Hall The knockout con- cluded a five-bout card jointly sponsored by the American Legion and the Elks.
 It didn't take Hulse long to dis cover that his big foe, who had a 13-pound weight advantage, pos sessed little in the line of attack. So Granny" adopted a purely of fensive style of fighting. He whal- ed away with no thought of guard ing.
 In Sixth Round
 The decisive blow came half way through the sixth round, after Hulse had twice knocked his op- ponent to tbe ecanvass-once in the third for a 9-count, and again in the fifth for an S-count. A sharp right, followed by wild left, lid the knockout trick.
 Not that the Bellingham boy wasn't game. He took lots of pun shment and came back each round for more. However, he didn't show any punches other than a rather feeble left swipe. His right, appar- sntly, was just to hold a glove, for ne didn't use it. Hulse, on the other hand, although not showing much ;cience, built up a good margin on points, failing to lose round.
