TO THE NAVY!

Today Juneau again extends welcome to the
Officers and enlisted of the Navy From Ad-
miral to third class seaman, glad to have
them back with us. The annual visit of the Navy
cements a closer relationship between first line
of defense and civilian forces The mystery that
tends to shroud the warships and the men who oper
ate them is cast aside for the civilian population
and we come to find out what our Navy is all about
that the officers and who make up its personnel
are after all just human beings who happen to be
in uniform.
Through the public-spirited efforts of Mayor l.
Goldstein this years welcome to the Navy is to be
an especially hearty one. The Mayor, like many
Others felt that the enlisted men of Admiral Wood
wards division should be extended the hand
of good fellowship and Alaskan hospitality shown
the officers. The Mayor has pride enough in his
city and in Alaska to that something actually is
done to make the Gobs" feel they rot in strange
and foreign land.

sailors and it will be held Friday evening in the Fair

SALMON PACK HOLDING UP

There is much Of encouragement and satisfaction
for Aaskans in the fish pack reports far Bristol
Bay which closes this coming Saturday, is well over
the million-case mark and there is indication that
it will compare favorably with 1884, although per-
hapS not reaching that banner year peak.
1t means big pack tax for the Territorial cof-
fers but more than that, it means that Alaska
fishermen have been able to make themselves some
money 1t was tough season last year in Bristol
Bay, with the limited pack only 24200O cases being
put up 1t was a bleak winter for many who de-
pended fishing for livelihood and their winter
supplies.
This year, however the picture is brighter De-
spite achoes of labor disputes centeng around outside
fishermen, it has been good season There is
reason to believe it will be in other Alaskan waters.

takes on roster hue Coupled with the boom in
mining activity it bodies well for the coming fall and

Youth SLashes Arm
In Suicide Attempt
After Arrest Here

A half-hearted suicide attempt on
the part of suspected auto thief
turned out badly Saturday night for
Verne Seader, II, whom sheriff's
officers believe is wanted in Los
Angeles.
The youth was taken into custody
Friday night by State Highway
patrolmen following an accident on
the highway near Seeley. After
being treated for minor cuts and
bruises at La Solana hospital, the
youth was taken to Jail when officers
checked identification of the car
he was driving and found numbers
tailed with a reported stolen vehicle
of Mrs. Audrey Parker, Los Angeles,
whom the youth said was his mother
He first gave his name and age
as Verne Parker, 20, but later said
his last name was Seader and that
his age was IT, Saturday night in
the juvenile ward of the county
Jail he gingerly slashed his arms
with a razor blade and went into
faint when Tailor Harry Stiff in
VeStigated.
A physician was called but had
no success in bringing Seader out
of the coma until he was pinched
in tender spot, according to Of
Ticer3.
Meanwhile, sheriff's officers are
holding the youth, pending further
details from Los Angeles where a
warrant signed by Mrs. Parker
blomes Seader for the theft of her
car, it was said.

All but one squad of national
guard troops, which had been held
in readiness for instant action, were
ordered disbanded A heavy guard
remained about the hospital but
only a few patrolled the Jail where
the other eight Scottsboro Negroes
are confined.
The outburst yesterday was the
first violence in the case which has
been fought through the courts
since the arrest ofthe nine Negroes
on charges of attacking two white
girls on a freight train near Paint
Rock, Ala, five years ago.
The national guardsmen were
called out when authorities feared
attempts might be made to lynch
one or more of the accused Negroes.

and senate to strenuous test or
the first time in the session.
Congressional sentiment in both
houses is set strongly against new
taxes. Strong initiation blocs are
rallying strength. Meantime, the
administration was revealed to have
a new tax program under study.
Program Uncertain
The extent of the new tax pro-
gram was uncertain but was believ-
ed to contemplate levies to pay costs
of the farm program being sub
stituted for the outlawed AAA.
Taxes to pay the S2,237 900 900
bonus cost to the government were
unlikely but passage of any addi-
tional money spending bills was
thought certain to bring demand
from President Roosevelt for taxes
to pay their costs.
Threats spread of potential re-
volt against any new tax proposals
coming from the administration.
The threat rose in the ways and
means committee where such leg
islation must originate.
Several Democratic members said
privately they would oppose new
tax bill even if the president empha-
tically asks new revenues to cover

Farm Debt Threat
The major immediate danger to
party control, however, remained
the $1,000, 100000 farm mortgage bill.
This measure if a petition is COM
pleted this week, automatically will
come up in the house for vote Feb.

At the request of administration
leaders of the Democratic whip or
ganization, led by Rep. Patrick Bo-
land, D., Pa, prepared to poll the
majority membership on the issue.

show sufficient votes to beat the
bill.
House Democratic leaders Virtu-
ally have given up hope of keeping
this bill from vote. A petition TO
force a ballot now has 214 sigma
lures of members and needs but four
more.
The drive will be to defeat the
bill when it comes up. All currency
