JAPAN-RUSSIAN
 ALLIANCE FEAR
 OF US. SENATOR
Move Would Be Against Alaska J. Ham Lewis Says
 in Attack, Japanese Policy

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Japan- csc policy in the Far East was sharply attacked in the Senate by Chairman Key Pittman of the For eign Relations Committee and Sen ator J. Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois who envisioned an alliance between Japan and Russia for control oi Asia even at the expense of Ameri- can interests.
 Senator Pittman called the Japan csc proceedings in China threat to the United States and vigorous ly assailed the utterances of Jap anese authorities directed at the United States.
 Senator Lewis termed the with drawal of American rule in the Philippines as a great blunder ano said the first step in the Russo Japanese move against this country would be in Alaska.
 We are only IS miles from Rus sia," Lewis said in referring to the narrow water barrier between AL aska and Siberia. He said the com bination would be designed to cap italize on naval strength, the Nip pon army air forces and the Soviet.
 Senator Pittman spoke of treaties openly and ruthlessly violated.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10- United States Senator William E. Borah oi Idaho Saturday mig h t challenged the forces against him to come out into the open" and declare their preference.
 His challenge was prompted by objections to him expressed by for mer Republican National Commit tee chairman, Simeon Fess.
 Senator Borah also attacked plans of the Ohio party organization to seek Favorite Son convention dele gate in the Buckeye state primaries May 12 as sham and deception"
 Senator Borah was outspoken re- garding the Fess opposition. What is his secret?" he demanded. T am told he is for MT Hoover. Very well would it then be oiscreditable to him to say so publicly? Let us see wheth- CT the people of Ohio agree with him, whoever he is for
 Senator Borah went on to ask: "Is he for the old deal? My opinion is that while people may have objec- tions to the New Deal, they are not going back to the Old Deal. They at least want a square deal-and the first evidence of square deal is to give them an opportunity to express themselves at the folls first"

OLD TAKU WIND
 HOWLS DOW N IN JUNEAU SECTION
4 Above Zero Low Point with Wind Velocity Aver
 aging 25 Miles an Hour

The widely but unfavorably known old Taku wind howled down on Juneau Sunday, last night and today, sending the mercury down to low of four degrees above zero at 7:3O this morning. The average wind velocity all night and today was 25 miles an hour, maximum of 27 miles being recorded at 11:4e this morning from east to north east.
 After the low peak this morning the thermometer started climbing, despite the bitter wind, and by 2 o'clock this afternoon had reached nine above. The highest tempera- ture yesterday was Il above.
 In addition to the Taku whip ping around the corners, six and a half inches of snow fell between Saturday afternoon and Sun d ay afternoon, according to U. s. Met eorologist Howard J. Thompson, making the total now 18 inches on the level.
 The forecast is for fair weather with continued cold with moderate to fresh east to north winds.
 The average tempefature for the month to date has been far below normal, according to weather rec ords over the last 40 years. The average this month is 12.6 above zero while the normal for Febru- ary is 28.5 degrees above, Meteorolo- gist Thompson's records reveal.
 Ketchikan is reported much warmer, 32 above being recorded there. Petersburg was Is and the cold wave seems to prevail from that point north. The barometer is abnormally high over the In- terior, reading BIOS at Dawson where a temperature of 56 below zero was recorded.

NO REQUEST FOR
 ASSISTANCE MADE

Emphatic denial that the Indian Bureau has refused to aid the Eski- mos in the Point Barrow district was made today by Charles w. Hawkes. worth, Chief of Indian Affairs in Alaska. He declared that no request TOT assistance had been made, but that the Bureau had contacted the 1 leaders in the Barrow community with the aim of finding out what was needed, if anything
 In an explanatory statement to- day MT. Hawkesworth said:
 Changing the living conditions of the Eskimo from igloos to frame houses has created an acute Situa- tion with regard to fuel. The igloo, according to practically all who know conditions on the Arctic coast, is the sensible winter home in that it has an opening from tunnel com ing through the floor and always has ventilation from a hole in the roof. Two blubber stoves keep the homes comfortable at about TO de- grees fahrenheit. It was the former custom for persons living in the igloo to be bare from the waist up because of the warmth. Fuel in the form of blubber was always available from seal, whale and walrus
 Coal, Petroleum Fuel
 Giving up the native igloo for frame houses and purchasing coal burning stoves has entirely changed the situation. Drift wood is very rare on the Arctic coast, what little that is available coming from the Mackenzie and Yukon rivers. There is coal mine at Wainwright about 90 miles from Barrow, which has been worked for several years. The natives have mined the coal them selves and hauled it on their oomiaks to Point Barrow. Also the natives in recent years secured a crude petrol cum east of Barrow which they brought to the village for fuel pur- poses.
 The Point Barrow people invar- iably share with those afflicted and unsuccessful in hunting. It is only humane to assume that if families were without fuel and the native people were unable to furnish it, the school, the hospital and Charles Brewer, trader and U S. Commis- sioner, would share with the suffer ing families.
 No Request
 We have had two messages stating the condition but no request for as- sistance nor definite recommends tion regarding the action we could take. Telegrams have gone out to- day to Dr. Griest, Commissioner

ANTI ITALY
 OIL EMBARGO
 IMP OBABLE
League Seems Reluctant to Continue-Fears More
 Unfriendliness'

GENEVA, Feb. O.-Probability that the League of Nations will not impose an oil embargo upon Italy is seen in diplomatic discussions in Geneva.
 The oil embargo has been under study as a supplement to other sane tionS.
 Recent developments in the Med iterranean area, including Nation alist riots in Egypt and Seria, dem- onstrated what the British have feared throughout the Ethiopian struggle. that continuation of war between white and negro peoples is likely to have repercussions against other flags.
 Such sanctions as have already been put into effect have failed of their purpose.
 Oil experts say they are not too certain the supply of oil could be shut off, however. and many fear that more sanctions directed against Italy can do nothing but cause more unfriendliness.
