Guy ROBERTSON says: "While
you are mentioning Helen Shields
of Washington as being leading lady
up at Saybrook, Conn, don't forget
Marie Walcott, also of Washington,
who is assistant director of that COM
pany. Miss Walcott if you remember
had charge of the very successful
children's performances of the Cliff
ford Brooke Academy for the last two
years. She is now doing a very splen-
did piece of work as assistant to Cliff
ford Brooke up in Saybrook. 1t is with
a great deal of pride that Washing
tonians can look at the splendid work
of these two local products"

yet not permitted to register in this
county for work on the dam becaus
of former registration in other
counties. They are unable to return
to the counties from which they
came because Of lack of any home
in which to shelter themselves.
Their only shelter on earth is the
little shacKs in which they have
invested every penny that could
be saved during the past summer.
There are no modern conveniences
Life for many under these condi-
lions is miserable. Add to this the
lack of work, not because they
wont work but because they are
denied the opportunity, car you
blame them it they turn to all
forms of vice and crookedneSs for
escape?
What is our government foster
ing here under these conditions?
Many of these people are descen-
dants of the hardy pioneer stock
that settled the west and built this
nation. Under proper conditions
they would show the same spirit.
Loyalty to our government is

CHASE INDICTED
 FOR MURDER OF
 FEDERAL AGENT
Companion of Baby Face Nelson Taken East to
 Chicago in Irons

CHICAGO, H., Jan. 1.- John Paul Chase, rushed here in irons from California, was late yester- day indicted by a Federal Grand Jury for the murder of Herman E Hollis, Special agent of the De- partment of Justice, killed on Mo- vember 27, with Inspector Sam uel P. Cowley when they sought to capture George Baby Face Nelson, his wife and a male com panion near the suburban of Bar rington.
 Nelson was also fatally wounded in the battle.
 Another indictment for Chase as the slayer of Cowley will be sought tomorrow.
 Chase was arrested in a Mount Shasta resort, California. last Thursday night by Federal off cers. He was taken to San Fran cisco and then spirited across the continent to Chicago.
 Chase was the male compan- ion of Nelson and the latter's wife in the battle with the Federals Mrs. Nelson later surrendered and is serving sentence in Wiscon- sin prison for harboring Dillinger and his gangmen. Chase escaped from the net here but was traced across the continent to California and finally arrested.

OLD YEAR ENDS WITH BURST OF
 BUSINESS PEP
Nationwide Survey Show. Many Merchants with
 Bare Sh elves

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The final week of the Old Year snapped busi- ness ahead like the crack of a whip, reports from leading cities throughout the country showed here today.
 There is an extraordinary de- mand for goods. with inventories healthily low-in many cases, too low for comfort
 This unusual situation prevailed in many manufacturing lines dur ing the final week of the year, usually a period of slack opera tions, with shutdowns for inven- tory purposes. Steel production, pushed up to the highest level since 1929. for the holiday week, delayed the whipping of the motor industry into new model production. The all-but-bare shelves of many merchants was another indication of the abnormal business improve ment.
 Unusual activity during Christ mas week accounted for the low stocks. The need for new goods was urgent, but merchants were count ing the results of the best Christ mas season in recent years.
 Finally, the need for new stocks which prevailed throughout the country seemed to insure contin- uance of manufacturing in most all lines.

Passing Shoio Of 7034 Propes to Be Great Drama for World,
 Including Juneau and Alaska

The curtain was rung down at midnight last night on the passing show of 1884 To Juneau and to Alaska, like the rest of the world, the year was one of the most ex- citing, eventful dramas since the World War. Events which would have merited eight-column head lines throughout the world a few years ago, were buried under the rising tide of big news in 1884.
 While Roosevelt and his New Deal and the growing war clouds in Europe and Asia held the spot light in world news, Alaskans were more concerned with the disas- trous Nome fire, the longshore- mems strike, the progress of the Army's bombers on their tour of the territory, the rising price of gold and fish, and the interest in Navy war games along the Alaska coastline.
 Things Happen Here
 Locally, Juneau saw the long dis cussed Douglas bridge grow into a reality, read of double murders, suicides, drownings, experienced one of the worst storms in Channel history, voted into power the most impressive list of Democratic can- didates on territorial record and okayed the city governments ap- plication to the PWA for a $100,- 900 civic improvement loan.
 In all, Alaskans have enjoyed a busy and eventful year, busy in spite of the big strike, and event. full because of reflecting national events. As the territory bid adieu to the old and prepared for the new, she pauses to take inventory of the following happenings that marked 1884 one of her brightest in page one news:
