Chinese
 Flocking to Tahiti
Inhabitants of R om antic Isle Divided on Aesthe-
 tics of Element

PAPEETE, Tahiti, Oct. Hold timers among French planters, ar tists and writers here are worried over the influx of Chinese into the romantic isle of Tahiti.
 They complain that the China man, astute merchant and money lender, adds a false tone to the local color-so dear to artists and writers-and brings with him vul- gar ideas of commerce.
 "Once,p grumbled an old,time colonist, resident in Tahiti for 25 years, there were only 300 Chinese here. Now there are 5000, or one fifth of the population.
 They set up bazaars in Papeete's main street and their shrill cries disturb the serene. philosophic quiet that makes our island a haven for seekers of beauty and rest"
 Younger colonists scoff at the ob- jections. They see in the Chinese invasion possibilities of bathtubs, toothbrushes and hot water for shaving.
 French officials observe that the

LONDON DOCKS

Immense Wharyes Under Construction, Five
 Year Plan

LONDON, Oct. 11.-Work is pro- ceeding rapidly on the new five year $8,550,000 development scheme to widen and deepen the Thames at the London docks.
 Steady work will be given 500 men for five years on the project, which is designed to make the fa- cilities at Royal Victoria and Royal Albert docks the most modern in the world
 The depth of water in the basin will be increased from 28 to 31 feet, and electric cranes installed to replace the present steam ones.
 Particular interest attaches to the Royal Victoria dock, whose fla nous old jetties, built in 1855, are being replaced by 5000 feet of new quayage. Able at one time to ac- commodate the largest ships afloat, these piers now barely berth vessels of 10000 tons.
 Royal Albert dock will have new quays totaling 5,350 feet.

San Francisco Party Pass. es Through Juneau
 Enroute Westward

Herb Fleischacker, Jr.. one of the finest football players ever to play for Stanford University, knows that the gridiron season is near, so he's going tackling-but not opposition players.
 Young Fleischacker, with two ether fellow residents of San Fran cisco, is a passenger for Seward on the steamer Yukon from Seattle and the pigskin star has every intent of "tackling" all the wild game that Alaska has to offer.
 Looking every bit as husky and tanned as he did when he played for the Indians, F'leischaker talked over plans here last night with his companions, James Flood, son of pioneer San Francisco realtor, anc Hugh Mackenzie, who has made sew eral hunting trips to the Interior and who is a friend of Joe Ibach Southeast Alaska guide.
 The party, Mackenzie explained will be met at Seward by Jack Leir and two other veteran guides. Ar engagements have been made for two airplanes, which will be used to fly the hunters first to the north shors of Cook Inlet.
 Lake Chatachame, Mt. Spur, tht north fork of the Kuskokwim River and Story Lake probably will bt visited later.
 Fleischacker, son of San Fran cisco banker, when asked just wha he aimed to tackle" named grizzl! bear, moose, sheep, and goat, il that order.

Nature Prorides Speed,cay
 For Brit0n's Record Try
By JOHN L. WHEELER (Associated Press Staff Writer

BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS, Aug. 28.-Mother Nature may not have had Sir Malcolm Campbell in mind when thousands of years ago she laid out one Of the worlds finest race courses in mountain-locked northwestern Utah basin. but the marble-like vastness of the Bonne- vile Salt Flats seems to have been created for the titled Blitisher and his laundering Bluebird.
 The daring Englishman will roll his giant car onto the flats the sec ond week in September for a race against time-a race in which he hopes to reach his long-hoped-for goal of 300 miles per hour.
 And there is every likelihood Sir Malcolm will attain this terrific speed. In the parlance of a gambler, it's natural Only some unforeseen accident will keep Bluebird and it's driver from roaring up to the 300- miles-per- -hour mark, such noted race drivers as John Cobb of Lon don and Alb Jenkins of Salt Lake City agree.
 Other Marks Made on Salt Course Cobb and Jenkins have shattered world marks right and left this summer. They used cars smaller than Campbell's Bluebird and they sought endurance records. First, Jenkins put his machine through a 24-hour endurance drive and col lected virtually every record avail able in the bracket in which he raced He pushed his car up to 150 miles at times and set 24-hour average of well over 100. Soon after ward Cobb came over from England and grabbed all of Jenkins records.
 The glistening salt flats were de- posted thousands of years ago by the receding waters of Lake Bonne- vile All that remains of the lake today is that body of brine now called Great Salt Lake. The glaring expanse of level rock salt extends over basin 42 miles long and IT miles across, and ranges in thickness from two inches to five feet. AL though water is known to exist un- der the crust in some parts of the basin to depth of several feet, the hard surface will support tons of weight, and racers have nothing to fear from the platter-like course.
 Weather, A Minor Hazard
 Unlike Fqorida's Daytona beach, where Campbell sought unsuccess- fully to reach his cherished goal, the salt flats do not depend upon tides, the moon or the wind for the right" condition. Even rain will not spoil the course for Sir Malcolm. The worst downpour will not make [ 1t soggy or rough. The blazing sun of September sky would dry the track within 48 hours.
 Possibly the only unfavorable con- dition which might slow up the big Bluebird would come from humid ity. Dampness in the air has a ten-

SPORT SLANTS

PROMOTER MIKE JACOBS has just about decided to abandon the plan he had in mind of signing Art Lasky for the role of understudy to Max Baer in his coming fight with Joe Louis. Mike took a flying trip up to Max Baer's training camp at Speculator, N. Y, and saw enough to convince him that the former heavyweight champions hands are in such good shape that there is hardly any likelihood he will need Lasky to pinch-hit for him against the Brown Bomber.
 Jacobs was very much impressed by the way Baer tore into the 200- pound punching bag with no in- tention of sparing either hand.
 Baer is really putting in some hard licks to get into shape for the match with Louis. He hops out of bed at six in the morning to take five-mile jaunt through the woods. Plenty of wood-chopping and rowing to put him in shape for the ring work ahead fills good part of the day.
 Will Need Those Hands It seems strange that Max's hands, which a few short weeks ago were reported to be in bad shape, should suddenly become the iron fists of old, but Manager Ancil Hoffman in sists that the miraculous cure was effected by series of treatments at the Baltimore hospital. Let's hope his hands are in shape, for he's go- ing to need all the dynamite he
The Daily Alaska empire., 1935-08-28

ever packed when he faces the De- troit Negro.
 Baer is counting rather heavily on a little ace-in-t -the-hole which he feels he holds over the Bomb CT. Max feels that the impression he made on Louis last winter when the pair met in the dressing room prior to one of Max's exhibition matches was a lasting one. He was champion of the world at the time. He made the most of the opportun- 1 ity to impress the young negro with his greatness and is satisfied that he succeeded.
 Sharkey Was Felled By Idol
 The former champion feels that it will prove another Jack Sharkey- Jack Dempsey case. Dempsey had long been Sharkey's idol, so when it came to their battle Sharkey just simply could not overcome that in- ferior feeling and suffered knock out when he. should have beaten Dempsey who was far past his prime.
 Baer had better not bank too heavily on that angle. In the first place Louis and Sharkey are as dif- ferent as night and day in tempera- ment. Can you imagine the cold, emotionless Louis going into one of those Sharkey crying spells? Or turning around to talk with the ref cree as Jack did just before Demp- sey almost tore his head off with left hook? Hardly! At least not on what he has shown in his bouts to date.
 When Joe Humphries raised Max Baer's right hand after he had been declared the winner over Pri- mo Camera he was announcing his

CARROLL.

The breath taking combination of Joan Crawford, Clark Gable and Robert Montgomery acting togeth. CT in the same film for the first time, plus direction by W. 8. Van Dyke of "Thin Man" fame makes "Forsaking All Others" one of tho hit productions of the year. It heads the double feature bill at Carroll theater tomorrow and Mon. day.
 The locale Is sociaiite Park Ave. nue, which has given the art direc- tors an opportunity to create some of the most beautiful settings eves seen on the motion picture gcree,l. These settings seem likely to have the same effect on interior decorat. ing that the picture "When Ladies Meet" had several years ago. As a light comedienne, left standing at the altar one minute and pursued by two handsome men the next, Joan Crawford is at her best. This is the first time Joan has attempted pure comedy and she turns in a brilliant job.
 Gable and Montgomery are both well known as masters of ligEt comedy and they vie to outdo one another with the many hilarious situations of the story.
 The triumvirate of Crawford. Gable Montgomery Is perfectly cast in the new comedy which has beer adapted from the stage hit of the same name without loss of single bright line of dialogue.
 The co-feature Is "Peck's Bad Boy" with Jack Cooper.
