HOLDS GLACIAL RETREATS NOT
 FULLY PROVEN
Visiting Scientist Is Not in Agreement with Hub
 bard Tn cory

That the National Research Coun- cil possesses concrete evidence Of ice fields in Alaska which have reached depths of at least 5000 feet, despite the recent statement of Fa- ther Bernard R. Hubbard, Glacier Priest, that such depths were phys jically impossible, was asserted today i by Wm. O. Field. member of that LCouncil who left on the Alaska af- ter several weeks spent in study of Alaskan glacial conditions. MT. Field, representing the Ma tional Geophysica1 Union, of which the Council is a department, has visited Alaska twice before, once in 1928, and again in 1881. in the theory that regular examination of ice fields every five years for a considerable time will lead to a scientific interpretation of the cycles which govern the retreat and ad- vance of glaciers.
 Very little scientific theory con- cerning glaciers rests on any con- elusive evidence said MT. Field today, adding that. while he had made many scientific investigations which had suggested certain tenta- tive conclusions to his mind, he had yet nothing of a dogmatic nature to offer
 Theory May Have Basis
 Regarding the theory advanced by Father Hubbard that pressure on ice would generate sufficient heat to melt ice under a certain depth, which Hubbard fixed at 2,000 feet MT. Field remarked that there is very likely good basis for that the lory, although the depth would have to be considerably greater than 2,000 feet, since we have evidence of 5000 feet of ice existing in several places in Alaska during the past ll25 years"
 1 He suggested that while pressure and depth might be continually ap- preaching a climax, there are all sorts of influences which might pre- vent its being achieved in the space one might consider logical by sur face inspection

Mar ked Improvement in Conditions, Governor Re-
 ports-Business Gain

General conditions throughout All aska are exceptionally good, a mark ed improvement over two years, with spirit of optimism and con- fidence everywhere evident.
 This is the message brought back by Gov. John w. Troy after visit to various places in the Territory.
 There is general employment ev-. erywhere," the Governor said. "Peo- pie and cities throughout the Ter ritory are more prosperous. There is a feeling of optimism in evidence; confidence has been restored and everywhere I found people looking up instead of down. Cordova. Sew ard, Anchorage, Fairbanks and oth- CT places emanate we'll being. The cities are dressing up. New build ings, repairs, painting are univer- sally in evidence, and the people have that attitude of good feeling; of looking to the future with re- newed hope and going ahead to- ward a goal of achievement. Bus- mess men everywhere told me bus mess was much better"
 Gold Price Helps Territory No one single thing has contr9bs uted so much to improvement in Alaska as the increase in the price of gold under the New Deal from $20.67 an ounce to $35, the Chief Executive said in pointing out that mining in Alaska is just beginning to feel the result of the price boost. It has given cause for greater de- velopment this seaso hand plan for further extension of activity anoth- CT year. Capital and mining men are being attracted to the Territory through the high price of gold and the great possibilities Alaska offers for mineral wealth, he said
 "Old prospectors who have been at it for years are taking a new lease on things and again the coun- try is being secuted in all directions

ONE LEGAL FIGHT ENDED

ONE LEGAL FIGHT ENDED
 TRENTON, Oct. 9.-One year ago last September B, Hauptmann was arrested and handcuffed, in New York City. and charged with the Kidnapping of Baby Lindbergh.
 On the night of February l3, this year, he heard a jury of eight men and four women utter their convic- tion of his guilt in the Lindbergh Kidnapping staying and heard himself sentenced to death.
 Attorneys for the defense immed- lately started proceedings for re- hearing. It was this issue which was decided today.
 Called Ideal Prisoner
 Hauptmann's jailers say he is an ideal prisoner. He asks no favors and he expects none. One prison official thinks his behavior may be traced to his wartime training in the German army.
 He talks quietly to the guards and to Col. Mark o. Kimberling, the warden. He has professed his inno- cence many times.
 Physically he is probably as fit as he was that September day year ago when he was halted and handcuffed on Bronx Street. His strong will is accountable for that. Hauptmann perhaps has never re- faxed since he was imprisoned.
 When he was brought to Elem ington a month after his arrest he began losing weight. but he has kept his mind occupied with his pa- preaching trial. He reads books and improved his English. He also ex- ercises.
 In the past seven months and over he has exercised conscien- tiously. stripping to the waist in his cell. This, along with the visits of his wife, Anna, his interest in his son, Mannfried, in his appeal and in the autobiography he has been writing, helped him considerably to master his emotions and keep him from despair.

New Orleans (UP)-X-ray photo- graphs have penetrated three cen- turies into blackened canvas here and proved a painting to be the work of a Spanish master, second only, perhaps to his works owned by the Spanish government.

 Authenticity of the canvas was shown by Albert Marshall, an artist who has specialized in the use of X-rays, infra-red and ultra violet rays with photography to test paintings.

CORK HONORED IN GoRKI

 When Maxim Gorki recently re- visited his birthplace in Russia he reversed the belief that great man may be honored elsewhere, but never in his old home town. Mil- lions of his books are read in Rus- sic every year. motion pictures from his works are shown in the remot- est villages, and streets and air- planes are named for him. But his native village also honored him. It had changed its name from Nizhni- Novgorod to Cork, and the citizens were eager to greet him. Gorki has announced that he intends to take part in the conference soon to be called to discuss plans for recon- Istructing the place. which has grown to . city.
