EXPLAINS ACTS p PROVIDING FOR PLAN
Extension of Smith-Hughes Legislation Would Mean
 $30,000 for Alaska

The new bill introduced in the United States Senate by Lewis B. Schwellenbach of Washington and similar measure which was previ- ously presented in the House by Delegate Anthony J. Dimond, calls for extension of the Smith Hughes act to Alaska for vocational eduea- ton and is different from the George -Ellzey Act now in effect under which Alaska gets S15,000 for vocational education with simi- lar amount appropriated by the Territory, it was explained today by A. E. Karnes. Commissioner of Education.
 Extension of the Hughes act as Dimond and Schwellenbach propose would give the Territory an additional S30,000 from the federal government to be matched by the Territory for vocational education purposes, or a total of $45,000 fed- eral funds under the two acts. The last Legislature appropriated $15,000 70 match the George -Ellzey act and in the event the Smith Hughes act is extended the matter will probably come up at the next legislative ses- sion.

Radio Notes

Jane Williams, singing star of Rendezvous, the musical show which will make it's debut over NEG networks September IS, re- ceived her break in radio year ago when she won a nationwide contes: to find singer for big network series. It was a double victory because she had lost her voice in 1927, and regained it only . fter period of laborious train- ing during which many times she came rear to giving up hope of singing.
 The majority of the singers who comprise The Melody Girls, the. all- feminine choir drilled by Kay Kay Thompson for the "Hit Par ade' programs, are home-girls, which is a way of saying that they are not as strictly independent as professional workers might be ex- pected to be. Upon their leader de- wolves the responsibility of watch- full care as well as adequate per- formancc.

Young Alice Tharpe Is Ab- sOlnte Dictator of State
 Funds
By MA servIce

A pretty brunei, barely five feet tall, still in her 20's, Is today one of the central figures possibly THE central figure in the turbulent drama being en- acted in Louisiana.
 She is Mrs. Alice Lee Grosjean Tharpe, for years personal secre- tary to the late Senator Huey F. Long, appointed by him to the post of secretary of state. once acting governor, and now serving Louisiana state as supervisor of public accounts.
 Senator Long said of her, "I can trust her more completely than any man in Louisiana"
 Habitually, through nine years of closest association with the Long political machine, Mrs. Tharpe has remained in the back ground. Now, with the eyes of the nation focusing on develop ments in the domain of the assas- sinated ''Kingfish," with a dozen candidates seeking to inherit his authority, she suddenly emerges as a person to be reckoned with. indeed.
 No one knows better than she the "inside" of the Long regime. CHARMING AND DISARMING
 Meeting her Is disarming. She is such a little thing. Her gray brown eyes with their up-curling lashes, her softly waving reddish brown hair, her piquant smile place her as far as can be imag- ined from the usual picture of the woman in public office.
 Hrs. Tharpe's career (she is handling $22,000,00O of state funds this year) has been con tingent upon that of the fallen "Kingfish."
 It is career story that is amazing. In 1926, q humble Shreveport stenographer, still in her teens, Alice Grosjean met Huey r. Long. She had been mar ried, unhappily, at the age of Is to Jack Terrell.
 Almost immediately after her marriage, Alice set to work to earn a living. She took busi- ness course and found a job work ing in the office of a Shreveport paper company.
 sThen she met Huey P. Long. Commissioner of public safety and close friend of her grandfather, Maj. Victor Grospjean of Shreve-
