TAYLOR URGES ! HIGHWAY AS AIR
 LINE NECESSITY
International Road Essen. tial to Establishing Regu-
 lar Plane Service, US.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l6. = The proposed International Highway is necessary as a forerunner of com mercial air service over the same region, Ike P Taylor, Chief En- gineer of the Alaska Road Commis- sion, said here today.
 Until highway extends across British Columbia and Yukon Ter ritory along which can be located regular emergency landing fields it would be folly to attempt to oper- ate passenger, mail and express planes on regular schedule be- tween the United States and Alas ka," MT. Taylor said.
 The engineer explained the ex- pense of transporting supplies and equipment necessary to maintain a regular airline would be prohibitive unless a road was available for trucking purposes.
 MT Taylor said that while he would like to see the highway built, he did not believe it would be well to construct the Alaska DOT tion at present unless the United States had assurance from Canada that the highway through the Western Canadian provinces would be built at the same time.

 The new budget, encountering immediately the prospect of soldier bonus payment and invalidation of the processing tax, has been thrown into a state of confusion which puts even the details of Govern ment finances into the center of the political campaign.
 Combined, these various circum- stances indicate a long and acri- monious Congressional session, in place of the short. harmonious one hoped for by the Administration. They complicate almost beyond de- scription a political situation which already was tangled and uncer- tain.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-As the result of the "backwash" following Japan's secession from the London Naval Conference, Congress foresees the Navy's move for more money to build and modernize Americas war craft.
 Associated Press dispatches from Tokyo state Premier Okada minimiz- es the possibility of a naval build ing race and said Japan will not be an aggressor but an opposite view is given by high Naval Commander who said: If the Japanese navy is called upon to fight the combined power of America and Great Britain : am confident we will win even if the ratio is 10 to l."
 In London, Great Britain, United States, France and Italy laid down plans to achieve fleet limitations without Japan.

Hearing on AIaska Fish Trap BM Under,Uay at Washington;
 Many Witnesses Being Called

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Formel Alaska Delegate Dan E. Sutherland added his voice yesterday in supper of Bill H. R. 8213, introduced by Del egate Anthony J. Dimond, to abolisf all fish traps in Alaskan waters.
 Sutherland told the House Mer- chant Marine and Fisheries Commit tee that the United States is ths only nation which still permits the taking of commercial fish in traps.
 Sutherland, Dimond and others told the committee that fish traps had led to monopoly of the indus try by the large packers.
 Sciners Testimony
 Jacob Zeldenrust added his testi- mony to that of Ketchikan seiner Thomas Hanbury. that traps brought poverty to the natives of the Terri tory. The men represent the Alaska Seiners Association.
 zeldenrust said the seiners Hast season averaged S75 for a summer $ work. He added that before traps became the chief mode of catching salmon, operators of seine boats would clear $1,000 to $1,200 in a sea- son.
 zeldenrust said that years ago when he received three-quarters of a cent per fish, they were able to make more than $1,000 a season but now, with fish five to six cents, "wc couldn't make enough to keep going
 Similar statements were made by c. Chester Carlson of Cordova, and Harry Stuhr of Seattle, represen- tatives of the Copper River and Prince William Sound Fishermen and Cannery Workers Association.
 Conrad Espe of Seattle told of the elimination of traps in Puget Sound md denied allegations that abolition of traps had materially changed con- iitions either of catch or returns iri industry.
 OulLtT ltStukts
 Salmon traps were described by former governor William A. Sulzer of New York as "the most murder ous instrumentalities ever devised by human minds
 Sulzer, veteran of many Alaska gold stampedes, said that unless traps were abolished the fishing in- dustry in Alaska would die. Hun- dreds and thousands of fish, he said are lost every year because storms make it impossible to empty traps
 He urged members of the commit tee to get acquainted with the Ter ritory, declaring it's potential wealth was sufficient to pay the national debt "even though it reached 50 billions"

Several important probabilities are presented by the tumbling events which have greeted the in- fant 1886 at Washington:
 The AAA decision brings home to the Democrats, much more forcibly than anything heretofore, the necessity for deciding whether to favor constitutional amend ment to enlarge Federal powers.
 It likewise forecasts for Repub- lican leaders and candidates a sea- son of severe ordeals as the various party groups seek to unite on some substitute plan for farm relief.

LINDBERCH BABY KILLER D0DCES
 ELECTRIC CHAIR
Supreme Court Turns Down Writ But Gov. Hoffman Gives Temporary Stay REPUTED CONFESSION
 FIGURES IN ACTION
Chief Executive Refuses to Give Reasons for Post
 poning Execution

TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 16. Gov. Harold G. Hoffman announced t his afternoon that he had granted a 30- day reprieve for Bruno Hauptmann, convicted Lind bergh baby killer who has
 been sentenced to die tOmor-
 row n i g h t in the electric
 chair. The announcement
 came a short time after the
 United States Supreme
 Court had refused to grant
 writ of Habeas Corpus to
 Hauptmann's attorneys.
 Attorney General David
 T. Wilentz said Hauptmann
 would not die for at least
 three months as under the law he must be re-sentenced.
 Gov. Hoffman said he would
 not grant any further re- prieves unless circumstance es warranted. He said he had divers reasons for his action, but refused to dis close their nature.
 Wife Jubilant
 Mrs. Hauptmann was jubi- lant when she heard the Gov ernor's announcement. s h e visited her husband in the death cell today for what she at the time believed was her last time to see him alive. Shortly after she left the an- nouncement of the reprieve was made. w
 Report Confession Made
 An appeal earlier in the day to the United States Supreme Court and a statement from a high source that there had been a confession in the Lind- bergh murder case gave new hope to es- cape the electric chair tomor- row night before the Cover nor acted. The action in the higher court required only a few seconds and was filed by Hauptmann's five-man coun- sel. In asking the writ of hab- eas corpus, a stay of execution was requested pending hearing on the writ. The court this af- ternoon denied the writ.
 Information concerning the confession came from a high source but officials re- fused to say by whom.
