Hubbard Party Leaves Markers
 for AirpIanes
Red Flags Placed on Ice Field Near Juneau by
 Glacier Priest

High up in the glacier and ice area back of the mountains that surround Juneau is a flat ice plateau, which, although glaciers and ice with deep crevasses are nearby, is a considerable exapnse of flat ice. On it now are red flag markers extending over more than 250 yards, placed there this summer by the Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard, and his party during their extnesive scientific work in that area, mak- ing it possible for an airplane to land there in case of emergency.
 This field of flat ice, Father Hubbard said today, was located between the end of Twin Glacier Mountain and the mountain re- ferred ao as both "The Bear Paws" and Devil Paws" and during the study of ice conditions in that area the party set out the flags as markers, should the emergency arise and some aviator find it necessary to set down in that region.
 Among the many other scientific and interesting facts obtained in this years expedition which Father Hubbard believes will prove to be most valuable of his many previous ones in Alaska, is the fact that in making a profile map of Twin Glacier Lake it was found that the bottom of this lake, the surface of which is about forty or fifty feet above sea level, is 600 feet below the sea level. Father Hubbard re- fers to the lake as The Lake of Imprisoned Icebergs," because of the many huge ones that float around in the lake after breaking away from the glaciers, with no possible chance of getting out.
 During the explorations and stud- ies Father Hubbard found that Taku and Twin Glaciers were now aground.
 The Hubbard party is leaving for the south Monday on the Yukon.

New Deal Senators Win Easily Over Anti-New
 Deal Opponents

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12. - The overwhelming primary victories of Senator Pat Harrison in Mississippi and Senator Jimmy Byrnes in South Carolina were not dismissed lightly in Washington by those hunting for indications of drifts in political sentiment.
 Both Senator were ardent, wheel horse style New Deal supporters. In South Carolina Byrnes had two anti-New Deal opponents but his vote was 221 900 against the 32,5o0 aggregate of both the others.
 In Mississippi, Senator Harrison's record was largely the issue. But this New Deal supporter, in nearly complete returns, won 127,700 votes to 64,600 for former Governor Sen nett Conner and 2,455 for third candidate. This came in the face of alarm stories that Harrison was about counted out.

THIRD PARTY IGNORED

Inquiry at such part of Demo- cratic headquarters as is left here, develops that there is a definite policy of ignoring as far as pos sible the whole of third party clements.
 President Roosevelt may have set the standard by his mo com- ment" attitude on the liar speech by Father Coughlin.
 Dead also is that excited talk of shutting out the Union Party can didates in some States by setting up dummy Union Party organiza- tions to preempt the name.
 Evidently the idea has been drop ped for two reasons. First, it smack ed of fright, which is not consid- cred good. Second, arguments are advanced that Father Coughlin and MT. Lemke, Union Party candidate may draw as many Republican votes as Democratic votes from the great pool of the electorate where all are fishing.

Governor Landon's extraordf
nary victory in Massachusetts,
was the outstanding topic among
the national political leaders in
Washington today.
The Republican leaders were
astonished. and most Of them
gratified by the high favor In
which the Kansas governor was
shown to be held by the voters in
the first test of his strength in
the industrial East.
The Democratic leaders frankly
manifested grave interest. Up to
this time, they had pretended to
regard Governor Landon as "juSt
another candidate"
