Gov. Troy Advised Work , on Federal Building
 Will Be Pushed

Everything possible will be done to expedite work on the Federal Building at Ketchikan, funds for which were recently set up by the Treasury and Postal Departments, according to advices received today by Gov John w. Troy from the division of Public Works of the Treasury. The structure is esti- mated to cost $300,000.
 No funds have been allotted for a similar building at Anchorage, the Governor was advised. That project, however, is on the ap- proved list and, if more funds are made available later, it will be considered.
 On June 26, Gov. Troy tele- graphed the Treasury Department regarding both buildings and urged immediate allotments of funds and early construction. Acknowledging that message, the Acting Assistant Director for Public Works said the building at Ketchikan had been selected for construction and every effort will be made to expedite the work"
 While Anchorage was eligible for a building he added, funds were insufficient to provide for all projects in the eligible list. The exclusion of the Anchorage project from the list does not, in itself, imply lack of merit and should it be possible in the future to make any additional allotments this prof ect will be given full considera-

ENGLISH PLANE
CRASHES;7 DIE

FOLKESTONE, England, Oct. 2
G.N.SO.-Seven persons, includ'
ing Albert De Sanno, of Philadel'
phia, lost their lives today in the
crash of a new British air liner
into the English Channel en- route
to France.
Mr.. De Sanno had been staying
with relatives in London. Shocked
by the news of his death, they re-
fused all information.
Among the wreckage washed
ashore here after the crash was q
mans Trilby hat bearing the ini'
tiAlS IN. which apparently
had been purchased in Philadel-
phia, but airline operators said
Mr.. De Sanno was the only Ameri'
can victim.
The Inflated plane, in the ser.
vice of Hillman'S Always, Ltd,
left the lines airport in Essex
county at 10 O'Clock for LIE Bour-
get Field, Paris, with six passeng-
ers and a pilot named Bannister.
Steaming in a downpour of rain
through the choppy channel from
Folkestone, the Biarritz passed
close to the wreckage of the plane
shortly before II o'clock, three
miles south of Folkestone. A life
boat was quickly lowered, but
only the bodies of Bannister and
four passengers could be found.
Other ships found the other
bodies.
Airport officials said they had
heard an S @ S from an unidenti-
fled plane some time after the
Hillman liner took off.

quarters here reported a message
today relayed through the
steamer Arctic, that the steamer
Alitak, about halfway down the
Alaskan Coast on her way from
Dutch Harbor toN Seattle, was
leaking badly, with three pumps
barely keeping her afloat.
Fears were held for the safety
of the vessel. Many cannery
workers are probably aboard, this
being the end of the fishing
season in the northland.
However, the Arctic reported
the stricken vessel had refused
any aid. The Coast Guard cut
ter Atlanta was preparing to
leave Seattle to give the Alitak
whatever assistance might be
necessary.

Fiery Aviator Calls America
Far Behind in Air in Tes-~
timony at Quiz

BY International News Service
Fifty Zeppelin airships, sent
from this country, could virtually
destroy Japan in two days, Gen.
William Mitchell, peppery head Of
Americas World War air service,
told President Roosevelt's aviation
commission today.
Commission members gasped as
General Mitchell daringly dis
cussed delicate international re-
lationS and denounced Army and
Navy officials and "air mer-
chants" with blistering language.
Warns Of Japan
General Mitchell said:
"Our most dangerous enemy
is Japan, and our planes should
be designed to attack Japan.
They should have a cruising ra-
dius of 5000 to 5000 miles.
eff we had 50 Zeppelins and
Japan opened her head, we
could attack her i'm two days,
and there would be nothing left
Of Japan"
General Mitchell outlined avia-
ton war plans of European coun-
tries. He said the Russians have
established an air-cruising range
oftO 500 miles ''to attack Japan
and western Europe if necessary"
Raps Army BOn1bers
The French cruising range is
designed to bomb Germany, the
British to cover northern Europe
and southern Europe as far as
Italy, and the Italians to embrace
the Mediterranean and the Near
East, he said.
The fiery airman ridiculed
American Army bombers, saying
they we're "like monkeys tied to
the Army sticks" He also
secuted the claim America ex-
GELS in speedy commercial planes.
He said Germany now has a
plane which makes 234 miles an
hour, which is far speedier than
the newest Douglas aircraft just
adopted by the American Lines.
General Mitchell demanded an
investigation of the Bureau of
Patents and the dissolution of
the pool of patents operated by
the Aircraft Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION. He also predicted that
"before long" the Government
will make its own aircraft.
Akron Tragedy Cited
He denounced the National Ad'
visory Committee for Aeronautics
as a political organization" He
objected vigorously to any SUI
pervision of the air service by
the Army.
He said the Navy airplanes used
in the recent demonstration on
the aircraft carriers Saratoga and
Lexington were in the "rat-trap"
stage. He blamed naval officials
for the Akron air catastrophe, say
ing:
at was a diSgraceful perform
ance. I cannot imagine such
stupidity as to order the Akron
into the air during the storm
that caused the crash"
He charged that the Army has
no plan for protecting vital Amer
lean centers from air raids. Turn
ing to the owners of American
commercial air lines, whom he
termed "air merchants" he said
"These financial manipula-
tors are actually trying to die
tate what our government shall
do about aerOnauticS in their at
tempt to enrich a few private
spectators"

DETROIT, Oct. ar will not
open with ''Dizzy" Dean unless
I'm convinced his hard work Of
the last three weeks has not
worn him down."
frankie Frisch, manager of the
st. Louis Cardinals, sat in his
suite at the Book Cadillac Hotel
today. A Steaming urn of coffee
was at his side. Before him spread
an ample order of ham and eggs.
He talked baseball and more base
bali. Nothing but baseball.
'T'm not definitely saying
Dean won't start the series. AS
a matter of fact, I haven't given
much thought to the subject.
He wants to pitch. It's q great
honor to start the world series.
want him to have that glory,
but I'm more interested in Dean
himself than in one world series
game.
NOT FAIR TO DIZ'
Dean won 80 games this
season. He is the No. l pitcher
of baseball. 1t would not be
fair for me to work him with
out his proper rest and sacrifice
that great reputation.
''If he is right, no team will
beat him. 1 want him to have
his full rest, to go in there right
and then Detroit can pitch a
machine gun against him.
"This weather will help Dean.
It's cool, and in cool weather he
can blow the ball past the best
of them. In the final series with
the Reds he came to me every
day and told me he was ready
to pitch. Before the series he
told me he wanted to pitch the
four games"
While Frisch was bordering the
question of Dean, Mickey Cochrane
spared with the problem of his
starting pitcher. He refused to
definitely commit himself on the
subject of opening with Rowe. In
a four-game series of this sort the
start is important. If Hallahan
starts for the Cards, and there is
still better than an even chance he
