 Miss Malstrom, who is the niece of Harold Malstrom, editor of the Dawson News, met the famous and ill-fated fliers in their visit to Daw- son, and afterwards spent much time with them in Fairbanks, from where pictures she took of them were after wards sent to the. Associated Press

GOVERNMENT
 TON TO
 PREVENT WAR
President Emphasizes Need for Backing of All Citi- zens, Present Endeavor SAYS VIGILANCE
 ALWAYS NECESSARY Special Appeal Made in Message to Women's
 Conference

NEW YORK Oct. IS. = President Roosevelt called last night for public support of the resolute national pol icy of peace.
 T have pledged myself to do my part in keeping America free of those entanglements that might move us along the road to war" the Chief Executive said in a message from the U. s. s. Houston to the fifth annual Forum on Current Problems sponsored by the New York Herald Tribune. He is aboard the Houston travelling back to Washington via the Panama Canal.
 Seek the Truth
 T want to feel at all times that l have the sustaining influence; the healthy. sound and above all thor oughly American public opinion on the subject. My task and the task of all those others who are associated with me in official life can be made easier if the citizenship of the na- tion, particularly the women, seek the truth, and the wise application of the truth"
 The message was read to the wom- ems conference by Mrs. Roosevelt in a broadcast over the NEG network. It had been planned for the Presi- dent to deliver the message by radio, but the Houston, cruising in Central American waters. lacked adequate facilities.
 Failure to Reason
 The Presid mt placed foremost among the challenging factors of war failure to reason which permits and wages modern war" He held its prevention was the prime function of government when our economic sys- tenn fails to sustain the adequate standard of life for it's women who face the most poignant privation.'
 Concluding, the Chief Executive said: Constant vigilance is neces- sary in nation like ours to see that forces that make for discord are discovered and discouraged"

RICH DEPOSIT
 l. OF CHROM|TE IS REVEALED HERE
Plans Going Forward for Development of Valuable
 Property on Baranof

Giving impetus to the reviving mining industry in Alaska, is the discovery and plans for development of what is described by mining engi- neers as valuable deposit of chrom- ite at Red Bluff Bay on the east coast of Baranof Island. The find, made about two years ago by Ray Race and Floyd A. Wellman, well knS.sn Southeast Alaska prospectors. has been surveyed in the past few months by several mining experts who have given especially favorable reports on the property.
 Frank Foster. Juneau attorney, and John c. B. Hawkes., have taken over the property under bond and recent ly had several mining engineers look it over. The report was so favorable that MT. Hawkes. is leaving on the North Sea Sunday night for New York where he will follow up several contacts already made with large users of chrome with the aim of pushing the development work for ward.
 50 Percent Chrome
 The engineers reports show, Foster and Hawkes. said, that the ore aver ages around 50 percent chrome, the estimates varying from 39 to 53 per- cent in the different places that. samples were taken Chrome is now valued at $20 a ton for 50 per cent with premium paid on ore running higher grade.
 The big jump in the use of the mineral, from 30,000 tons to 10000 tons in the last five years in the United States gives encouragement to the projects in view of the figures revealing that only one percent of the chrome used in America is mined in this country. The bulk comes from New Caledonia, South Africa, Turkey and Russia.
 Chromite is extensively used now, as the result of new process, in automobile plating, and in plating electric appliances and household utensils, taking the place of nickel. It is claimed to be much better for such purposes. as 1t does not .,eel.
 800 Acres of It
 "A total of 27 claims, around 800 acres, was originally located by Well man and Race, and virtually all of it is said to be chromite bearing. One engineer, who examined an area some 1,500 feet long by 800 feet wide, reported that the mineral occurred throughout.
 Apparently there are three bands or zones in this particular area" the engineers report said, where miner alization of chromite is more intense than elsewhere. This chromite min- eralization occurs as stringers, scales and disse m mated naturalization.
 
 Some of the stringers are of good width and length and of grade of 50 percent. Some chromite occurs everywhere in the area. The zone ad- jacent to canyon on the west limit of the area shows the most intense naturalization"
 Good Transportation Facilities
 Giving further encouragement to the hope of the Juneau men to carry on development is the fact that nat ural transportation facilities are af- forded in that the property is on deep water where large ships can go in and out. Mining conditions are, said to be especially favorable.
 Mining would be carried out the same as hard rock gold mining, the ore being crushed and run through mill with water process, as the chrome is heavier than the other substances in the ore.

especially through developing &C
tivities interesting to each and
answering their needs.
United action between the two
locals should be developed, with the
aim Of establishing a united council.
Such action has already been
approved at the recent convention of
the silk workers.
To fight against attempts of poll
ticians and lawyers who present
themselves as friends of the work
ers, and organize the splendid
united action which was displayed
in the strikes into a campaign be-
hind united labor ticket in the
coming elections.
The accomplishment of these
tasks will mean the raising of the
standard of living of the Paterson
workers and insuring a powerful
labor movement. From the re-
Spouse in the local elections it is
evident that the workers are looking
to the Communists in the unions
for leadership. The Communists of
Paterson realize their responsibility
in this situation and will put forth
every ounce of energy to make such
program a reality. Furthermore
many workers see how the Party
leads in struggles and wins the con-
fidence of the workers, and will join
the Communist Party to help carry
through the big advance.

By Jay Anyan
Communist Party Organizer
of Paterson. N. ~

In the recent elections of the two
largest local unions of the A. F. of L,
in Paterson, N. j., Green, German
and Company and their local lieut.
enants, Eli Keller the Lovestoneite,
and Anthony Ammirato the reac-
tionary president of the dyers, were
defeated. The large vote rolled up
by the rank and file candidates is a
reputation of the expulsion policy
directed by Green and his Paterson
agents.
The workers have shown that they
recognize the policy of struggle as
the only correct means to win
better living standards, and to
strengthen the unions as a weapon
against the bosses. The rank and
file victory in this important tex
tile center will also serve as warn
ing to the National Textile Labor
Board, which is soon to report on
its findings that the workers are
ready to renew their struggle for
the demands which caused the gen.
eral textile strike last summer. The
silk and dye workers have elected
such workers to take leadership as
they have found to be the most &C
tive in the recent strikes, those
against N,R.A. arbitration schemes,
