Officials Refuse to Divulge Why Juneau Man Is
 Out at Matanuska

PALMER, July 2.-Charles War ter, Commissary Manager, has been dismissed from his post here, it is announced by project officials. Col onists have charged inefficiency but officials refused to divulge why Warter had been busted. Several colonists expressed themselves elat- ed over the action.
 The arrival of Eugene Carr, per sonal representative of Harry l.. Hopkins, Relief Administrator, has had a quieting effect on the colo nists. Agitation has virtually ceased and a new spirit of confidence pre- vails.
 Carr has inspected the construc- ton of houses and found the houses being built on the ground with no foundations.
 This is hell of way to build houses. They should be built from the bottom up and not from the top down." he remarked.

No direct word was received on why Warter was let out but Corporation officials said that they had received word of al- leget. irregularities which they were attempting to run to earth at once. Warter went to the project under appointment from the Corporation.
 Called For Foundations
 N. Lester Troast, who drew the plane and specifications for the buildings at Matanuska and was on the project until recently when he returned to his duties here with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, said today that buildings at Matanuska called for foundations. If the hous- es are being built on mud sills it is because they have deviated from the original plans, he said.
 Plans and specifications call for pile foundations under all fog cab ins, he said. Any change was made by the Washington Represen- tative of the EZRA after consult ing with the Colonists who were al- lowed to choose the type of founda- tion they wanted"
 MT Troast explained that the Colonists had been urged to use mud sill foundations in some in stances but he had advised against 1t.

COMMITTEE IN
 HOUSE GIVES
 HIGHWAY OKEH
Alas k a Road Measure, Stripped of Appropria-
 tions, Approved

WASHINGTON, July 2. With the approval of the President. the House Roads Committee voted a favorable report here today on the bill for the International Highway to Alaska after striking out the sections authorizing an appropria- tion of $2,OO0OO0 for the project.
 Both the President and Secretary of Interior Ickes suggested that the monetary features be stricken
 As finally approved by the com mittee, the bill empowers the Presi- 4enT to negotiate agreements with Canada for survey on the loca- tion and construction of the pro- posed highway, but does not pro- vide funds with which to get the project under way.
 Two millions of dollars would have gone for the construction of the Alaska section of the road. One hundred thousand would have been used for negotiations with Canada.
 Alaska Delegate Anthony Dimond presented a letter from President Roosevelt in which the Chief Ex- ecutive said, "As the bill now stands, it has my hearty approval. l hope it will be enacted"
 Ickes declared belief that the appropriations might be omitted destroying the effectiveness of the measure.
 Should the bill pass the House in its present form, it would then go to conference with the Senate which already has given it's ap- proyal to appropriations for the project. The indications today were that the Senate would accede to the Presidents wishes.

Is the Law an Asp

The worthy burghers of Prince GEORGES
County comprising the grand Jury of
that jurisdiction, holding solemn session
at Upper Marlboro, have reached a con-
clusion respecting the prevalence of GER
tain unsuitable and unsavory conditions
In that area which for clarity of
reasoning deserves place in the annals
OF American law. They are laymen, but
are aided by the official bar in their re-
searches and perhaps in their express
sions. The case in point is the matter
OF gambling, regarding the prevalence
of which in Prince Georges County there
has been no doubt in the public mind.
After profound study of the situation
the grand jury has thus reported to the
court:
indications are that gambling exists
in Prince Georges County, but this grand
jury has been absolutely unable to OBJ
tain any evidence. We therefore recon-
mend that gambling be legalized."
Here, indeed, is a masterpiece of logic.
The law prohibits gambling. The law,
in the persons of the members of the
grand jury, is satisfied, that gambling
exists. The law, in that same embodi-

patronage and render needless the con-
struction Of a service terminal at or ~ r.
the circle.
The sole purpose of a transit line is to
give public service. If it fails in that it
loses its reason for existence. BY public
service is supposed to mean adequate
service, prompt, dependable and COM
Portable. Despite divided jurisdiction
there should be single standard of serv-
ice, putting no needless penalty of incon-
venience on those who reside on the
farther stretch of the line. It may not
be requisite to maintain such standard
of service, to operate every vehicle over
the entire line, though that would be
ideal from the standpoint of the patrons
on the longer runs. But some adjustment
of schedules surely can be made to afford
a reasonably prompt and efficient through
service without the imposition of the
penalty of long waits at junction points,
whether or not those waits are made less
onerous by the erection and maintenance
of terminal structure.
Let this problem be approached from
the bus riders viewpoint and its solution
will not be unduly difficult.
