THE LAST ONE

Here is Will Rogers last dispatch to the t-Intelligencer, sent in just before the plane crash in which he and Wiley Post were killed:
 FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Aug. l5.- To the Editor of the Post -1ntelli- gencer: Visited our new emigrants. Now, this is not the time to discuss whether it will succeed or whether it won't, whether it's a farming country or whether it is not, and to enumerate the hundred of mis- takes and confusions and rows and arguments and management in the whole thing. At home, and here, as I see it, there is not but one prob lem now that they are here, and that's to get 'em housed within six or eight weeks. Things have been a terrible mess. They are getting 'em strengthened out but even now not fast enough. There is about seven or eight hundred of 'em. About two hundred went back, also about that many workmen sent from the transient camps down home (not eco, and just lately they are using about 15o Alaskan workmen paid regular wages, but it's just few weeks to snow now and they have to be out of the tents, both workmen and settlers. Plenty food and always has been and will be. They can always get that in, but it's houses they need right now and Colonel Hunt, in charge, realizes it. You know, after all, there is a lot of difference in pioneering for gold and pioneering for spinach.

FROM ANCHORAGE

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Aug. IA To the Editor of the Post-I -Intelli- gencer: Well, we had a day off to- day and nothing to do so we went flying with friends, Joe Crosson, Alaska's crack pilot, who is a great friend of Wiley's and helped him on his difficulties up here on his record trips, and Joe Barrows, another fine pilot, in Lockheed Electra.
 We scaled Mount Mckinley. the highest one on the America conti- nent. Bright, sunny day and the most beautiful sight I ever saw. Crosson has landed on a glacier half way up in plane, and took off. Flew right by hundreds of mountain sheep. Flew low over Moose and bear down in the valley. Now out to visit Matanuska Valley, where they sent 1885 model pioneers.

Margaret SuIIaran Sums CIamOr But WiH Not Bite
 HollyiUOod's Generous Hand
By RoBBIN CooNs

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Aug. 2l.-It's l queer notion for any girl who is n the acting business, but Margaret Sullayan says she means it: T iont want to be famous"
 You get many a glimpse of the 5ullavan personality on the set. To- day she is not in the scene. A cou- )ie Of actors are working in the plantations big house." and Mar Saret, star of So Red the Rose" is ust watching Her hair is neatly
 oiffured, with s coy braid of roses $ tiara in the fashion of belles of the sixties. But instead of the flow ing hoopskirt. she wears her favorite costume-slacks and blouse. There she iS--a belle of the old south in Slacks
 Miss Sullavan has been at times what the publicity boys call diff cut. She would run out of town and not tell anybody where she was going She wouldn't tell much Of anything. But they all liked her anyway. She has way with her, " you heard them saying, and you can't help liking her"
 At first Margaret Sullavan did not like Hollywood, or maybe it was simply that she liked New York better. Whatever it was, she says now that she does like Hollywood, understands the people, and hopes to stay for some time to come.
 But there's a tendency here to glorify film stars" sch says. Tn oth- CT words, it's considered good busi- ness to make gods and goddesses of the players.
 I'm not one or those people who rush to Hollywood for the money they can make, then turn about and bite the hand that feeds them. But I do take issue with this pol icy of manufactured fame, although l can see both sides. The glorifying is pure showmanship, I know, de- signed to make player more inter- esting to audiences. But am not a snowman and don't suppose ever will be"
 To the Sullavan way of thinking movie star is just like the girl who makes her living doing a good job in an office, the "only differ ence' being that the one job is more "glamorous" than the other. And so glamor, being a salable com modity gets more attention.
 Margaret Sullavan does not want to be "glamorous."
 Who knows?" she says laugh ing. It might ruin me for life. It might give me ideas about myself which would be hard to lose when the time comes to quit"

assistance to each needy individual within the State who at the time of such expenditure is 65 years of age or older. and who is de- clared by such agency as may be designated by the Social Security Board to be entitled to receive the same: Provided further. That no person who is an inmate of a pulp lie institution shall receive such old-age assistance, nor shall any individual receive an amount in excess of $15 per month" It is be- lieved that some financial assist ance may be obtained for Alaska under the provision quoted above, pending the next session of the Territorial Legislature when the Territorial laws can be amended to meet the requirements of the Act.
 Eligible for Pension
 Under the provisions of the act, it is obvious that many needy per- sons in Alaska will be eligible for pension that are not eligible under the Territorial law. However, in all probability the present cost of pensions to the Territory will not be increased due to the Fed eral contribution of 50 per cent of the total payments. It would ap- pear that the present expenditure of the Territory for pensions can be spread to cover approximately twice as many cases on the basis of the Federal Government paying one-half of the allowed pension uo to the amount of $30 per month

 others originate in smoke, ac- cording to one of New Works lead ing fashion commentators. No long CT need American women look to Paris openings for style pointers. All they have to do is watch the Lucky Strike girls who so color fully decorate the country's bill Boards and the back covers of na- .ional magazines.

HUMAN ICICLE
SCIENTIST FAKE,
FISHBEIN SAYS
Freezing ReviviCation lust
Poppycock,' He Claims,
Threatening Expose.
By Unitcd Press

By Unltcd Press
CHICAGO. Aug. 13-The Ameri-
can Medical Association today
warned Ralph S. willard. Los An
geles chemist preparing to bring a
human icicle" back to life. that it
will expose his claims publicly as
"a vicious hoax
The threat brought an immediate
retort from Willard that the as
sociation's spokesman, DR.. Morris
Fishbein, was talking about some
thing of which he was utterly ig-
norant.
DR.. FiShbein, editor of the
Journal of the American Medical
Association. in which the threatened
expose will appear this week, called
Willard "a faker. pure and simple. "
Trick of Substitution
His claim of freezing revivifca-
ton experiments having been sue
cessfully applied to a rhesus mon
key are pure poppycock," the editor
said
He added a charge that Willard
never physician. was arrested Ii
California in May, 1888, for prac-
ticing medicine without .~licenSe
was fined $500 and given $50 days ir
Jail.
THE monkey trick probably was
achieved by a neat trick of substi.
tuition which any magician coulc
perform"
Willard, in California, where he
has contracted with Stephen Sink
hovitch, 34-year- old scenario writer
for the human freezing experiment
said DR.. Fishbein's suspicious oi
magic was "unkind, to say the
least"
Admits Arrest in 1893
He denied having lived in Kansas
City in 1927 under the name ot
Raphael Napeolonovitch Ludomir-
sky, as charged by DR.. Fishbein
but admitted he faced charges in
California in May, 1888.
1T was an unfortunate accident
he said. Il spent no time in jail
but was placed on probation.
Commenting on the offer of Sink
hoyitch to act as the human icicle,
DR.. Fishbein said:
IF Willard freezes him he un-
doubtedly will die and Willard will
face murder charge"
Laughs at Warning
Willard laughed at the warning.
1T is kind of Dr. Fishbein to be
so eager to inform me of that" he
replied. Naturally I do not intend
to freeze Mr.. Simkhovitch unless ]
am sure can revive him."
The chemist said the purpose of
the experiment was to determine if
bacilli can be destroyed by freez-
ing the body to temperature OF

Metal Suit Great Aid

From talking to Jarrett, one
would gain the impression that a
descent in the 336O-pound electric
suit is no more exciting than a
walk downstairs. asked him
about the dangers he would face in
his iron man when he was 270 feet
below the surface
He smiled and said. IF I worried
about the danger, l might as well
give up diving"
He explained that the stout metal
shell would spare him many perils
which formerly confronted the diver
in the rubber suit. There will Ger
tainly be no risk of bends" the ia
tai cramps caused by being taken
from one pressure to another with
out proper time elapsing for the
blood stream to adapt itself to the
new pressure. In his metal armor
this very real jeopardy is over
come.
Neither need he fear the squeeze
which in lanGsman's parlance means

water pressure which surround the

mean certain death. and rubber
