EXEMPT ALASKA FROM M|NIMU U M
 WAGE SCHEDULE.
Hopkins Recognizes Gov ernor's Request for More
 Equitable Pay Scale

In response to requests made by the Governors office, Alaska has been excepted from the wage scale set up in the new work relief pro- gram and agencies in the Territory now have authority to adjust wages under the new allotments to more equitable level with the cost of liv- ing here.
 This information is contained in a telegram received by Gov. John w. Troy from Nels Anderson. Ad- visor on Labor Relations at Wash ington. MT. Anderson quoted orders from Harry L. Hopkins, Chief of the Public Works Administration, as follows:
 T hereby exempt all projects conducted in the several Territories and possessions of the United States from the schedule of monthly earn ings set forth in part one of said regulations. The rate of wages to be paid to workers employed upon the projects conducted in the sev- eral Territories and possessions shall be determined in accordonce with low wage conitions by the agency having general supervision of the particular project"
 The excention will allow the various departments in the Terri tory which employ men under the works program to pay higher than the minimum of $40 a month which prevails in the States. Oilicials here pointed out to the authorities in Washington that it was impossible for men to exist on such meagei wage here where costs of all ne- cessities of life are much higher than in the States.

BELC|ANS PAY DEEP RESPECT,
 QUEEN ASTRID
Sobs Break Silence as Cortege Moves from
 Station to Palace

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Aug, 30. = Long lines of Belgians entered the
 Royal Palace today in sorrow, pay ing last homage to Queen Astrid.
 Her body came back to the Capi- tai early today to muffled roll of
 drums, and bugles playing Qux
 Champs.
 The funeral will be Tuesday. The King left the train before it's arrival and motored to the
 palace, where with bowed head he
 awaited the arrival of his queens
 body.
 Sobs from the bareheaded crowd
 broke the deep silence as attendants
 placed the casket in the motor hearse outside the somberly draped
 station, and stepped back while the drive was made to the palace. The simple coffin, banked with white flowers and lighted by six large candles, was placed in the
 Palace chapel. Troops lined the street as the cortege wound it's way to the palace gates.
 Bells Toll Church bells tolled throughout
 the city. People on the streets crossed themselves and whispered softly -worded prayers as the body passed along.
 Meanwhile, the Queens three children played gaily in the garden of one of the royal villas, unaware that their mother was never to re- turn alive to them. The King was sad-eyed and fatigued from troubled day and sleepless night. Death Blow The injury causing the death of
 Queen Astrid was identical to that
 which killed King Albert, physicians said after the autopsy The fore head wound was in the same posi- ton as the one which ended AL
 bert's life in the fall on the mount ain.
 King Leopold spent two hours be-
 side the coffin in Lucerne, his arm in sling and gash on his fore
 head.

ALASKA LABOR KEY TO SUCCESS AT MATANUSKA
Workmen from Territory, Familiar with Conditions,
 Push Work, Says Lyng

ANCHORAGE, Alaska. Aug. 50.- Howard Lyng, Democratic member of the last Legislature from Nome, now assistant manager of the Alas ka Rural Rehabilitation Corporation, in a signed interview in the An chorage Times, reviewing the Mat anuska Colonization Project, said
 At the present writing, construc- tion is about at the halfway mark.
 Thirty Hive colonists' houses are occupied. and 70 are in various stages of construction. Had the project been prosecuted from it's in ception with Alaskan labor under the direction of qualified Alaskans such as the Alaska Railroad Com mission, it would now be well to- ward completion. This fact is de- monstrated by the greatly increased speed in recent construction, due to the addition to the forces of 200 Alaskans, mostly skilled workers re- cruited from Anchorage, Seward end Fairbanks.
 Tt is to be hoped that the Fed eral Government will profit suffi- ciently from this basic mistake in its Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Project to realize in future similar undertakings that the most impor-
  tant factor is labor, and that it is fallacy to presume hundreds of men can be transported thousands of miles at wage of a dollar day and board and put to work in a frontier country under physical con- ditions totally unfamiliar, at type of work in which few if any had any experience"
 Lyng praised the idea of coloniz- ing Alaska. and the industry and intelligence of the colonists at Mat anuska.

LANDING FIELD IS
 LOCATED BY PILOTS

Alex Holden and s. E. Robbins, PAA pilots, who explored the Taku district yesterday for a possible landing field location, reported that perfect site exists about one mile below Mary Joyce's Twin Glaciers Lodge, on the same bank of the Taku River.
 The two pilots stated that very little work would be necessary to clear brush from the field which is clear of trees at both ends and perfectly level and firm.
 The proposed field is sought as an economy measure to allow planes from the Interior to land within a short distance of Juneau when weather conditions prevent landing at the local field, instead of return ing to Whitehorse, the nearest ex- isting field.
