in the Labor day parade here" Mrs.
Mooney said. She felt very, very
hurt about it."

her sons freedom.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30-With the second session of the Seventty- third Congress, starting next Wednesday, Delegae Dimond is completing the drafing of bills which he will offer during the early days of the session.
 Last spring, it will be remembered, Congress confined it's activities al- most entirely to Administration meas ures. Daring the coming months, however, 1t isx anticipated tha legis- faion of more general nature will be considered. This: will give epportun- ity, fur action not only on the bills af- fecting Alaska to be introduced dur ing he second session but also those which were introduced early in the year.
 If a bill prepared by MT. Dimond receives favorable consideration Alas Ka will have a representative in he United States Seiat as wlI as in the House of Representatives.
 It is the Delegates thought that the prestige of thesTerritory will be en- hanced and solution. of it's legislative problems made much easier, if it had an elective officfaEin the upper house.
 Such an fcial would be elected for a term of six years amid would have the uriviIf.res. .uf 41fe floor of the Sen ate, but would s1notes be entitled to a vote, corresponding in tha respec to the Delegate-.e.
