coy. TROY AND
 OTHERS TO BE
 PARTY GUESTS
Big Banquet Will Be Held at Douglas Tonight,
 Bridge Celebration

Gov. John w. Troy and twelve other men from Juneau will be the guests of honor at the big ban quet to be given at Mikes Place in Douglas this evening by the Chamber of Commerce of that en- terprising community in celebration of the beginning of construction on the Douglas bridge.
 Plans have been afoot for some time for this event at which hom- age will be paid to Gov. Troy and others responsible for securing the appropriation for this link between the Island and the mainland. Many people from both Douglas and Ju- neau will attend the public affair tonight to celebrate the closer as- sociation which will result when the communities are joined by the bridge.
 The affair is to be turkey din- her with every added touch that the chef at Mikes Place could think up to add to the delightful meal which has been planned. For a few dreary hours, Mike Pusich and the Douglas Chamber of Commerce committee was worried for fear the turkeys might be held up by the longshoremens strike, but an ex- change of radios removed that dark cloud, and since then all plans have gone smoothly. In addition to the sumptuous repast, an inter- esting program has been planned.
 Mattresses for the occasion will be chosen from among the attrac- tive young girls of Douglas. Every one in the city is, figuratively speaking, on his toes to see that the banquet is a success in every way, and to judge from the prev ious entertainments given by Doug las, it will be.

PRESIDENT HAS NEW PROPOSALS FOR CONGRESS
National Insurance Planned for Men, Women, Chil-
 dren of Nation WANTS ENACTMENT
 OF HOUSING BILL Chief Executive Replies to Critics Propose
 Something

WASHINGTON, June .8.-Con- gress was told today by President Roosevelt that he is preparing a vast plan for social insurance for security "of the citizen and his family"
 This, with another national plan for land and water resources, will be laid before Congress next win. ter.
 Among the objectives, I place the security of the men, women and children of the nation as first declared the President.
 Want Decent Homes
 The people want decent homes to live in and they want to To- cate where they can engage in productive work. They also want some safeguard against misfortunes which cannot be wholly eliminated in this man made world of ours, further said the President.
 National Plan
 When the next Congress con- venes, l hope will be able to present a carefully considered na- tional plan covering development to human use our national resources of land and water over long per- iod of years. The plan involves abandoning of millions of acres for agricultural use and replacing them with better land" continued the President.
 Hits at Critics
 President Roosevelt struck at the critics who say the Govern ment should devote itself to recov- cry first and reform later by say ing: Ut is childish to speak of recovery first and reconstruction afterward. In the very nature of processes of recovery we must avoid destructive influences of the past"
 Is Declaration
 The Presidents remarks about homes is interpreted as declara- tion for enactment of the Housing Bill this session and is intended to encourage repair and building of homes by partial Government guar antee of loans.
 The New Deal
 About the new deal, in general, the President said: We have sought to put forward a rule of fair play in finance and industry.
 Tt is true there are a few among us who would still go back. Those few offer no substitute for gains already made nor any hope for making future gains for hu- man happiness.
 Wolf Cries!
 They loudly assert that indi- vidual liberty is being restricted by the Government but when asked what individual liberties they have lost, they put it to the answer"
 This clearly is the Presidents reply to any opposition his Admin istration expected to encounter in the coming campaign.

He was also advised of the settlement this morning in radiogram from Frank A. Boyle. Territorial Auditor now in Seattle.
