All of the works in this exhibition,

moderately priced. and it is hoped that
numerous sales will be made. but there
is no forced selling. Neither. be it
said to the credit of the stores which
have gone to so much trouble to make
display possible, are the exhibits being
used as bait for shoppers. From first

artists and for public benefit. 1t is
generously and well handled.

Sloane's.
OUTSTANDING in the show at
Sloane's are works by two artists
whose names are by no means famil-
lar to exhibition visitors as yet. They
are Portrait of Dress" by Catherine

John de Groot. The former is a
study of young woman wearing a
plaid dress, the other is Of little
girl in blue frock looking at herself
in a mirror. Both are exceedingly
well painted. Here, too, is ar excellent

SEATTLE, June 13.-Comdr. Sig mund Lavaneusky, Soviet chief and Inspector of Arctic aviation, told interviewers here he believes trans Polar air route between Russia, &c., attle and San Francisco will be es- tablished within ten years.
 On an air trip from New York to Los Angeles through the Northwest, the tall "Lindbergh' of Russia said he plans Moscow to San Fran cisco flight over the North Pole soon in the interests of science to establish an eventual permanent air route which is a logical one" He added: My government has stu died the plan a great deal There are only 5000 miles in the shortest route. Air bases could be set up on our side of the pole and in AL aska and Seattle for refueling stops.

 INSPECTION
 TRIP, ALASKA
Give Out Details of FEC of Which Public
 Knows Little

L. c. Herndon, Inspector-in- Charge of the 14th District of the Federal Communications Commis- sion, is registered at the Gastineau Hotel while making a thorough in- spection of radio stations and equip ment here. He will proceed west ward on the Yukon Tuesday, en- route to Fairbanks.
 MT. Herndon. who left the Com missions office in Seattle May 6, has visited and inspected licensed stations in Ketchikan. Wrangell, Petersburg, and way points to date. He expects to complete the present tour by July 2.
 However, the Inspector said, with over 300 licensed stations in Alaska, which does not include the governments Signal Corps and anna teur stations. it is impossible to reach them all in one trip"
 The purpose of this trip, Mir Herndon pointed out, is to enforce present radio laws and regulations, inspect and license stations on land oh ships at sea and in the air
 The public has no conception whatsoever of the vast work being done and controlled by the Fed eral Communications Commission" MT. Herndon said In Alaska there are hundreds of small licensed sta tions in canneries, mining camps. and larger communities, and with out the EGG to regulate their acti- vities, the air would soon be such a tangled mess that radio recep- tion would not only be impossible, but thousands of lives would be endangered. Ships at sea. and the increasing number of radio-equipped airplanes have radio as their only communication with their base and without regulations they would be helpless, and a danger to human life"
 Inspector Herndon complimented Alaskan operators and stations up- on their cooperation with all regula- tions of the Commission. The Com mission has no control over anna teur and government stations, he said

TOPEKA, Kansas, June 13.-Eagel for a fighting" campaign. Gov. AL fred M. Landon proposed to launch a battle for the Presidency right now" He has hardly recovered from the hoarseness which was sus- tained by talks from the front porch to the various groups of well-wish- CTS. He is acknowledging a deluge of congratulations and waits the arrival here Tuesday of Col. Frank Knox, his running mate, and the Party's National Subcommittee to chart plans for the campaign.
 TDelighted"
 The dormant aggressive mood of the Governor was reflected in his statement expressing delight at the selection of John Hamilton at Cleve- land as leader of the National con- mittee.
 He is a hard fighter but he always fights fairly, as Kansans who fought with and against him are equally ready to verify. His is the kind of fight we are going to make said the nominee.
 Gov Landon apparently referred to his own contest with Hamilton several years ago when Landon managed Clyd de Reeds successful campaign against Hamilton for the Governorship.
 For Real Campaign
 Gov. Landon today stepped out of his reticent role of the pre-con- vention period and told interview CTS: Sure I'll invade the enemy territory. This is to be real cam paign from now on"
 The Governor puffed his straight stem pipe, applying a match at in- tervals.
