Ballaine Declares Bankers and Union Pacific Schem-
 ing Against Territory

SEATTLE. Feb. 14-John E. Bal slaine, builder of the Alaska Central Railroad and founder of Seward, said today that policies "emanating from the offices of New York bank -ers and railroad owners" are blight ing the Territory of Alaska, and that 'their activities are also destroy ing possibilities of the success of the Governments Matanuska colony"
 In an open letter to President Roosevelt, Ballaine, former Wash ington and Alaska newspaper editor, named J. P. Morgan and Co., and Hartman Union Pacific Railroad interests.
 |. Ballaine is one time Bull Moose Roosevelt leader in Washington State, and was also Chairman of the state Republican Roosevelt move ment in 1892.
 To Destroy Railroad
 Their transactions aim, as did those under Secretary Albert B. Fall . and his associates, to destroy the Alaska Railroad and deprive it of traffic earnings possible from coal mining and timber development" sEallaine wrote. They are more &C., tive and successful in their Alaskan plottings during recent and present times than ever before during the last twenty years. This is evidenced by taking up the rails and abandon ment in 1883 of the branch line of the Alaska Railroad which reached the fields of highest grades of bitum- inous coal in Chickaloon, adjoining districts, and Matanuska.
 High Grade Coal ! Ballaine said that two naval coal commissions in 1914 and 1921 had reported coal of the highest grade of any bituninous coal in America. Aand at least 100000 tons were block ed out of field which they esti- mated as being at least 3O000,000 tons.
 The failure to develop Alaskan fields, Ballaine wrote, resulted in coast markets from Los Angeles to Seattle being compelled to rely on :, lower grade coals now being sup piled in part from Utah over the Union Pacific Railroad.
 T believe that their activities, al- ' though quite unknown to you, place your administration in the attitude cf approving them," Ballaine wrote to President Roosevelt.
 Ballaine also said the Department of the Interior officials have evaded answering h i'm concerning these charges
 Development of timber. coal and other industries in the Matanuska region is essential to the success of the colony Ballaine declared.

JOLT TO new DEAL
SEEN BY Fletcher
Maryland and Pennsylvania Pri.
maries Held Upset to
Easy Victory.

By the Associated Press.
Chairman Fletcher of the Republl-
can National Committee said last
night he interpreted the results of
primary elections in Maryland and
Pennsylvania as Jolt" for the New
Deal.
Exaggerated claims of Administra-
ton leaders of certain victory in the
coming November election and that
every State in the Union would be
found approving the New Deal poll
cies got a jolt in Democratic pri-
maries just held in Pennsylvania and
Maryland" he said.
THE results are highly encouraging
to those who desire to re-establish
American ideals of government and
are disconcerting to the New Dealers
and causing dismay in their ranks.
"An unusual thing has taken place
in American politics. A President
supported by every element of the Or
ganization in these two States, aided
by millions of Government funds,
poured In to make the going easy, op-
posed by gallant candidate who
knowing he had no chance to win, but
running solely to give members Of
his party a chance to register q pro-
test, backed by no organization, with
no funds, has rolled up an amazing
vote"
Mr.. Roosevelt was opposed in Mary
land and Pennsylvania primaries by
Col. Henry Breckenridge.
