6, BATTLE CRY SOUNDED
 BY FLETCHER
Chairman of National Com mittee Issues Party's
 Ch allenge

SPRINGFIELD, H., Aug. g. = Henry P. Fletcher, Chairman of the National Republican Commit tee, today called on the country for a verdict on the New Deal' on November 6, from the Repub- lican State Convention platform in what is regarded as the Party's national challenge.
 Fletcher branded MIRA as a
 badge of industrial servitude, y and lambasted the farm program as a tragic disappointment Leaders of both Parties watched the Chairman's choice of weapons and his mode of attack. His ad- dress is expected to declare the future issue which the Republicans will do battle for more of the Con- gressional seats.
 Fletcher accused the Administra- tion of fruitless spending and charged it launched dangerous experiments"
 He centered his attack on Farm Relief efforts while building his Party's case against the Adminis- tration. He put new bird into the national political picture. It was the Black Crow" He said: T suppose that in order to compel the farmers to come in under AAA, it decides to decree that all those who do not paint black crow on the barnyard gate, will get no Government money.
 This may sound like a lot of political hooey but it is no more fanciful than what has been done with the Blue Eagle, the badge of industrial servitude."
 Fletcher told the convention crowd that the farmer suffered rather than benefited from re- covery activities concluding with The New Deals MIRA has stran- gled it's AAA."

Declares Answers Have Been Given to Recovery
 Confidence Sure

GREEN BAY, Wis, Aug. g. = President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave notice to the Nation today that the Ned Deal is going on and neither demand nor action have reached the end of the road"
 The President pronounced his major declaration of his first cam paign since 1892 and spoke of his ideas in detail.
 "We, who support this New Deal. do so because it is Square Deal and because it is essential to the preservation of security and hap piness of a free society" said the President.
 Speaks of Assistance
 Your two Senators are both friends of mine. Many others worked with me maintaining ex- cellent cooperation between the Executive and Legislative branches of our Government.
 Senator LaF'ollette Is up for re- election and F. Ryan Duffy is the other Senator from this state. He is a Democrat.
 The President also spoke of his opponents as follows:
 Action Results
 "In one year and five months, the people received at least par tial answer to the demands for action but action may be delayed by two types of individuals-first- there is the man whose objectives are wholly right, wholly progress sive, but who declined to cooperate or even to discuss methods arriv- ing at the objectives because he in- sists on methods entirely his own and nobody else's.
 The Other Type
 Then there is the second type the individual who demands some message of the people of the Unit. ed States that will restore what he calls confidence
 WHICH l liCdk t4llot NaAlkkOV AtCAR but remember the pleas by the Government and certain types of so-called big business that all through the years of 1881 and 1882 the only thing that was lacking in the United States was confidence. I believe we have it now"
 Measuring Confidence
 President Roosevelt furt h er:
 Those who would measure con- fidence in the future must first look to the average citizen. Con fidence is returning to our agricul- ture population who in spite of the incredible and uncontroll- able drought. is giving understands ing to practical planning and end- ing of useless pickering and sec tional thinking of the past.

 ORDER ISSUED
 BY PRESIDENT
Mints Will Make Purchases of Silver at 5O.Ol
 Cents an Ounce
ROOSEVELT ACTS
 UNDER LAW OF '34
Exemptions Are Stated Outstanding Contracts
 May Be Fulfilled

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt has is- sued an Executive Order providing for the naturalization of silver at 5001 cents per ounce.
 The Executive Order was issued according to the provisions of the Silver Purchase Act of 1884 and made public by Secretary of Treas uey Morgenthau who said the United States hints will be di- rected to receive any and all silver in the United States.
 Mint Seignioragc
 The hints will deduct, as seign- forage, 61 8I25 per cent of silver so received and return this to the deposition of silver certificates or other coin or currency in the amount equal to the monetary value of the remainder.
 The order does not affect domes- tic silver mined since December 21, last year, which may still be delivered to the hints under the Presidential proclamation of that date. All other silver must be de- livered to the hints within 90 days.
 exemptions
 The exemptions are commercial and industrial silver that is to full fill outstanding contracts, also U s. silver coins, foreign coins, silver ore or silver owned by foreign gov ernments, foreign central banks and silver in fabricated articles
 Cost Price Basis
 Secretary Morgenthau said the issuance of currency against all silver will continue on the basis of cost price as has been the practice since purchases began, thus for each dollar paid out to acquire silver by standardization or otherwise, a dollar worth of cur rency will be issued.
 The Treasury, said Morgenthau may use the Departments discre- ton, such as the issuance of legal monetary value of the dollar at 29 cents an ounce.

SEN. CUTTING MAKES ALASKA
 VACATION TRIP
Republican Member of Sen- ate from New Mexico Is
 Roundtripper on Yukon

On a two-week vacation cruise aboard the Yukon, United States Senator Bronton Cutting arrived in Juneau this morning and spent several hours in the city during which he called on Gov. John w. Troy, Judge James Wickersham, and motored to Mendenhall Gla- cier, also visited other places of interest.
 Senator Cutting, of Santa Fe New Mexico, is a member of the Republican party but was a staunch supporter of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the latter's cam paign and declared that he would continue to support the admins tration'S program.
 Gets First View
 Several conditions com b i n e q caused Senator Cutting to select Alaska in which to spend his vacation this year, first, his de- sire, as a member of the Commit tee on Territories, to see the coun- try for himself; second, a long standing desire to see something of Alaska, the Hast frontier; and again, the length of time required for the round trip coincided with the time he allowed himself for 8 vacation and rest. Last, but stil important from the view point oi a Senatorial rest, he is out oi touch with telephones, telegrams and other disturbances for a briei time. In order to condense the time required for the trip, he made the trip from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Seattle by plane and ar- rived just in time to catch the Yukon, though he missed seeing President Roosevelt by a narrow margin.
 Vast Country
 "This is a vast country and the trip up the Inside Passage is very restful, but I regret that cloudy weather prevented my seeing z great deal of the scenery along the way" he said.
 While his time is too short al this time, to see the Interior oi Alaska on his present trip, Sen- ator Cutting said that he hoped to be able to make a more ex- tensive tour of the Territory al some future date.
 Active Career
 Though Senator Cutting has de voted practically all of his timt during the last seven years tt governmental affairs as a mem. be of the U. E. Senate iron New Mexico, he was actively en- gagged in the newspaper and print. ing business in that State fol years after he moved there il 1910 shortly after he was graduat. ed from Harvard University witt schlastic honors and member O. Phi Beta Kappa.
 Newspapers and printing com. panies with which he was asso, ciated are New Mexican Printing Company, of which he was presi. dent from 1912 to 1918; the Santt Fe New Mexican and Fl Nuevt Mexicano which he published and the Santa Fe New Mexican Publishing Corporation of which ht has been president since 1920.

means possible. He arrived in Ketchikan after 60 days of rowing.
 Peterson was stranded in the Boring Sea in 1880, but made a lucrative living killing bear until the government interfered. De- spite his age, he wants to kill just one more bear, and then go to Sitka, not to enter the Pioneers Home, but to be near other old timers.

AIR NAVIGATION
 AIDS ARE MOST.
 PRESSING NEED
Inspector Hall Tells Cham
 Der Aids Needed to De-
 velop Air Industry

The most pressing need in All aska's air transport development is aids to navigation and the Government is going to give it careful consideration" declare d Murray Hall, Bureau of Air Com merce and Aeronautics Inspector for Alaska, in a fine talk made to the Chamber of Commerce to- day at its weekly luncheon meeting at Bailey's Cafe.
 "There is a probability of Alaska obtaining financial help with which new avenues of air transportation should be opened within the Ter ritory, and it is my observation when transportation is developed ether things will be developed he declared.
 Urges Aviation Support
 He urged upon the Chamber the importance of supporting aviation development, saying when it is de- veloped, things that before had seemed impossible of achievement became practicable. Air mail serv- ice and similar improvements would follow. T pledge to you that I will work to that end and I will appreciate your support and CO., operation"
 The Air Commerce Bureau in it's eight years of existence, MT. Hall pointed out, has been of material aid in the devlopment of aviation throughout the coun try and is proud of it's record. It has pro noted a system of fine airways throughout the States and T am sure," he added, that the Govern ment wants to do as much for Alaska as for the rest of the country"
 Promotes Travel Safety In addition to the inspection of planes, testing the qualifications of pilots and mechanics, the Air Com merce Bureau aids in the design of airports and the installation of aids to air navigation, including the erection of beacon lights, radio facilities and otherwise promoting the safety of air travel. He said he felt that Secretary Daniel c. Roper, Department of Commerce, who recently visited AL aska, has the interests of the Territory at heart and is keenly alive to it's needs.
 Promises Great Event Ray Fitzpatrick, Chicago man now visiting here and who has been at Hawk Inlet for the past week, declared Juneau would see
 its greatest development within five months.
 "I'd like to give you a promise It is not a prophecy. I promise that you are going to see the big gest thing that ever hit Juneau by January 15." Beyond this MT Fitzpatrick did not care to commit himself.
 It was he who brought Senator Cutting to the meeting for brief greeting. MT. Fitzpatrick was a guest of Henry Roden and hearing that the Senator was aboard the steamer Yukon, after some repartee with MT. Roden, wagered the latter the price of dinner he could induce the Senator to come up for a minute or two at the least. He excused himself and went out, re- turning in some 10 minutes with | his man.
