SEATTLE BUCK PASSING" AS ALASKA GOES HUNGRY

What is popularly known passing the buck" is great old American favorite When the situation gets
 little tense it is almost universal habit to shift the responsibility to other shoulders if possible glaring example of the old game is in the present mari time strike, particularly for those of in the north as it effects Alaska.
 Recently the unions leaders, or Seattle Joint Strike Committee, radioed to Gov. John w. Troy questioning
 reported statement that there is shortage of food in Alaska The day before the Governor had present ed complete picture of the food situation to Dr. Ernest Gruening in Washington, D. C., following thorough survey made by his ofce and the also releas- ed the Associated Press. On receipt of the union message, the Chief Executive again reiterated the s uation to the union leaders in Seattle little later the ship operators in Seattle came out with the report that there lots of food in Alaska and they based their information customs office reports in Seattle of shipments to the Territory They accused the sea- men aboard the Northland of violating their contract by not unloading that vessel.
 We do not know whether the seamen violated their contract not. We do not know anything about the figures in the customs office in Seattle. We do not know where the unions got their information, unless from the customs shipowners that there short age of food in the Territory But do know that the buck being passed in grand style in this matter and Alaska is being made the goat of two factions which do not seem to care hang whether we eat in Alaska not.
 Seattle since 98 has boasted of being the gateway to Alaska. She has lued us with soothing melodies about the great riches have produced and shipped to the United States through her port She admits standing ever ready to help and believe it is the whoeheartedy purpose of the majority of the leaders of Seattle to do just that But nevertheless when two big Seattle factions rise up to question the authen- tcity of reports that short of certain foods in the Territory, it is bound to raise question in the minds of Alaskans of just where Seattle stands If memory serves right it was necessary to load Alaska ships in Tacoma harbor during the ongshore strike of two years ago to get food for residents of this Territory who solely dependent water transportation for such supplies.
 Alaskans not trying to settle the strike issues The Governor has made that plain in all his reports All we want in Alaska is reasonable shipment of the necessities of life to the Territory which can be pro- vided with limited schedule of one boat week to Southeast Alaska and one boat weekly to the South west ports suggested by the Governor and which by

Details of Death Dr. Mustard At
 Ketchikan AAA
Ketchikan Alaska,
 November 28, 1886

Editor Nome Nugget,
 Nome, Alaska.
 I thought that you and many other 'oldtimers' might be inter- ested in an account of Dr. J. H. Mustard's death and funeral.
 AS you no doubt have heard, he was found dead, fully clothed, on his bed.
 A brother and brother-in-laW from the outside came to Ketchi- kan immediately and are plann- ing on taking the Doctors body to Kansas for burial.
 The funeral was conducted by the Elk's Lodge and attended by groups from the Masonic Lodge, American Legion and Association of Nurses, as well as his many friends here in Ketchikan and a few of us who had known him in Nome years ago. The services were very impressive and the singing beautiful. One thing that touched me deeply was the tender way in which each nurse touched his casket as she passed the remains. There were lovely floral tributes but none on the casket which was dnaped in an American Flag and on which rested his uniform cap. He was laid away in his uniform which he loved so much and in which he served his country well. I am sure his Nome friends will recall that he joined the service when he left there in 1918. Af- ter his discharge he came to Ket- chikan and has practiced here continuously ever since. He was loved by all who came in con- tact with him and it is with sad ness in our hearts that we mark the passing of another old friend and great Alaskan.
 It was a privilege that I could pay my last respects to the Doc tor and I felt in a way that ] represented his many friends who are in Nome who could not attend his funeral.
 With my very best regards to you and your family and any other friends who might read this account, I am sincerely,
 Bertha Mckay.

Springfield, Ill, where he will
launch another assault on the
Roosevelt Administrators New
Deal" tonight at a. Lincoln
Day dinner at which Secretary Of
Interior Ickes also will speak.
While it will not be a formal de-
bate there is wide interest IN the
clash of the Cabinet officer and
one of the Administrations princi-
pal foes.
It is expected to be a lively meet
ing. for Talmadge and Ickes have
been decidedly hostile ever since
the Secretary was made Public
Works Administrator. They have
collided over PWA policies and
over the New Deal" in general.

Ickes to refer to Talmadge as His
Chaingang Excellency," to which
the governor retorted that he could
not take that boondoggler" seri-
ouSly.
Talmadge is to speak first at the
dinner. Ickes, who is to deliver
the closing address, has been one

SOURCES
BILL TO GET
HEARING
House Judiciary Chief
Urges Protection
For Reporters
International News Service


On the heels of the Supreme
Court decision outlawing the
Louisiana State tax levied against
newspapers, House members
moved today for adoption Of a
new statute prohibiting Federal
judicial bodies from forcing Jour-
nalists to violate their news con-
fidences.
Chairman Summers CD Of
Texas, of the Judiciary Commit
tee, announced he had ordered
full hearings on the bill of Repre-
sentative Curley CD of New York
amending the Federal judicial code
to afford this protection to edi-
tors, news reporters, correspond
entS and publishers.
Summers Backs Bill
Representative Curley's meas.
ure specifically provides that no
journalist shall be adjudged in
contempt Of court If he refuses to
reveal any confidential commune
cation or conversation made to
him in the pursuit of his occupa-
ton. This law would apply to both
civil and criminal proceedings in
every Federal court in the United
States. Chairman Summers said:
II firmly believe newspaper.
men should be protected in
this manner. My personal ex.
perience as a former prOSecut-
ing attorney has convinced me
that it is unfair to force them
to divulge information given
them in confidence"
Expressing bitter criticism of
police authorities in New York
city and other communities where
newspaper reporters were jailed
for refusing to disclose news
sources, Representative Curley
warned such action seriously re-
tarded the nations fight on
criminal activity. He said:
"The police authorities are
destroying one of their strong.
est means Of running modern,
highIy-ofganized crime into the
white light Of publicity by the
compelling nature Of applying
'StPaight-jacket' methods to
newspapermen in an attempt
to gather their information"
Representative Curley urged
that journalists be protected by
Federal law to afford them the
same protective privileges given
lawyers, physicians and clergy
men.
Example For States
Enactment Of the bill by Con-
greSS would cause numerous States
to adopt similar legislation, Cur
ley believes. At present only
Maryland, Alabama and New Jer-
sey have this type of law on their
statute books.
The Judiciary Committee plans
to call leading publishers and cor
respondents for testimony when
hearings get under way later this
month.
Martin Mooney, New York
American reporter who was i'm
priSoned for 80 days because of
his refusal to name sources of in
formation relative to racketeering,
also has been invited to testify.
