Bucks Hide Out On Hunters Over Last Weekend

Those who went out after deer over the weekend report the hunt ing was all right but finding them was something else again. Many of the hunters walked miles and miles with nary a shot at a buck with horns at least three inches long. Abundance of does were re- ported but the bucks apparently had gone into hiding high up on the mountains.
 Among the successful hunters were George w. Folta and G. H. Skinner who got buck after hik- ing seven miles into the brush at the north end of Admiralty Island.
 A reminder was sounded by the Alaska Game Commission today that a hunting license is necessary for resident hunters for a fee of one dollar, and you have to have lived in the Territory year to be a qualified resident. Licenses are available at the game commission and at the Thomas and Juneau- Young hardware stores here.

|zEHNDER LOSES
 TO PETE FOLEY.
Hook and Ladder Group Renamed High School
 Coach for 26th Time

Naugatuck, March 6-Strong op- position to Peter J. Foley as foreman for the Naugatuck Hose, Hook and Ladder association featured the an- nual meeting of the organization last night in the fire house. MT. Foley was reelected to serve his 26th term, but only after he had de- feated Fred Zehnder by the narrow margin of six votes, 38 to 32.
 It was the first time in many years so many volunteers went on rec ord as being opposed to Mir. Foley's continuance in this position. He was first elected foreman in 1911 and has served since that time. The firemen's ball of last year was dedi- cated to him.
 Another surprise was the election of Raymond Deegan as second as- sistant foreman. MT. Deegan edged out Thomas Chiswell who held this office previously in @ close battle. MT. Deegan served as trustee last year.
 None of the trustees would serve again and after many had been nominated, Edward Weaving, Har- old Trestrail and Beecher Woodside were finally chosen. John Weaving, Michael F. Shea and MT. Deegan formerly held the posts.
 Other officers were reelected as follows: Herbert Cockroft, first as- sistant foreman; Fred zehndcr, third assistant foreman; Luke Comiskey, fourth assistant foreman; Joseph Ford, first assistant foreman of the hook and ladder; Edward Calvin, second assistant foreman of the hook and ladder; Raymond Jen- nings, secretary; William Woods, treasurer.
 A committee in charge of the an- nual banquet was appointed at the meeting. It consists of Maurice Scanlon, chairman, Luke Comiskey, Edward Calvin, Ray Jennings and Fred Zehnder. The affair will be held this month.
 The committee will meet Sunday morning to determine where the banquet will be held. There was quite dispute at the meeting about the place, some wanting 1t to take place in the fire house, others in an inn in the neighborhood of Nauga- tuck.
 It was finally decided in favor of an inn after the members had wrangled until almost II p. m. There was no dispute about inviting hon. orary members, MT. Scanlon said to- day. Honorary members will be in- vited as they have been in the past.

FIRED DIRECTOR
 MADE AN APPEAL

Boston, March 6.-(Up) .-Laur- ence Hansen, busted as state direc- tor of the federal theater project after a dispute over Maxwell Ander- sons "Valley Forge" planned an ap- peal to Washington today. Hansen had objected to production of "Val- ley Forge" by a WPA cast because of its alleged obscenity. Subsequent ly the play was banned in Plymouth and Lexington and presented in Fitchburg and Leominster only aft- CT censorship. Hansen was discharg. cd by Hiram Motherwell, assistant to the dederal director of the project, who said Hansen's "views were not in line with the federal theater program as accepted by WPA officials in Massachusetts,"
 Also discharged were William Rut- ledge, assistant ot Hansen, and George F. Whitcomb, state demo- cratic supervisor. Their discharge was necessitated flor clarification of policy" Motherwell said. He de- clared all discharges have been ap- proved by Washington officials.
 Motherwell denied Hansen's al- legation production of "Valley Forge" cost $22,000 exclusive of salaries. The figure included salaries, he said. He described Hansen's state- ment 1t would cost $3,000 weekly to keep the company on the road as wholly guesswork."

women would walk out today or to- morrow in the skyscrapers towering around Grand Central Terminal, and in the apartments of Brooklyn and Queens boroughs.
 Police estimated that 500,000 per. sons work in the Grand Central area, more than 100000 persons visit 1t daily. More than 100000 persons, live in queens and Brooklyn.
 The strike spread with efficiency but little violence. Police who arrest ed more than 100 strikers and strike breakers in the strikes first four days had few calls yesterday or to- day. A few realty owners appealed to Gov. Herbert H. Lehman for na- tional guardsmen. He declared . hands off policy.
 Must Have Heat
 Snow and colder weather set lights to flashing with increasing frequency on police and fire department emer- gency switchboards. Tenants and building owners complained that 1t was impossible to live in buildings without heat. Where board of health inspectors found an emergency, union members returned to work as deputy inspectors.
 Thousands of New Workers contin- ued to walk up and down stairs in five to 70 story apartments and of- flee buildings, but few large build. ings were entirely without elevator service. Building tenants divided among themselves, some walking the stairs to boycott strike breakers, others supporting their landlords.
 Police confirmed union claims that owners of 1l0 buildings broke away from the realty advisory board in 12 hours after the board refused to arbitrate yesterday, and signed contracts. James J. Bambrick, New York head of the union, said 1,480 building owners had signed private contracts since the strike began. Pickets threw away their red and white banners and returned to work in each case.
 Union Gain Support
 The union cause gained notable support after preceding A hours in which Park Avenue residents be- gan formation Of 8 tenants defense association" with the avowed inten- ton of supporting landlords. Tenants of Knickerbocker Village, giant apartment development, paraded with pickets. Women wheeling baby carriages picketed with their for- mer doorman and elevator operators on lower Fifth Avenue.
 Langdon W. Post, tenement house commissioner, led a rent strike.
 T won't pay a cent of rent until my landlord consents to the unions fair offer to arbitrate." he said.
 Mayor Fiorelio H. LaGuardia said he couldn't see "how any reasonable man could refuse the union offer."
 The union asks a g a week aver- age wage increase. 48-hour week, and a closed shop. Elevator operators now are being paid $6 to s20 a week, firemen $40 to $70 month, and other building workers proportion- ately. Some combination workers in small buildings work up to 84 hours 8 week.
