The administrator attention was
called to the fact that latest figures
showed that 3,498,012 persons were
employed the first two weeks of Oc-

this by pointing out that the drouth

A. F. of L. Councils Report
on Social Security Act

w HEN the American Fedora
w ton of Labor's annual con-
vention opened in Tampa it had be-
fore it the report of the executive
council dealing with, among many
other topics, the social security act
The report heartily approved of a
federal social security program and
urged adoption of state laws that
would give labor the greatest pos
sible benefit from the federal stat
ute. If the federal law is unconsti-
tutional, the council said, lit is clear
that its provisions must be changed
or that sanction must be afforded
to them through an amendment to
the constitution.
The council questioned the wis
dom of obtaining the necessary
funds through payroll tax (which
to a great extent is to be paid di-
rectly or indirectly by the workers
involved" and suggested that con-
gress repeal this feature of the law
as soon as it convenes.
In discussing unemployment since
NRA's end, the council said:
The shorter work week and the
six hour day furnish the real solu-
tion to ,he inSistent problem of un-
employment. 1t is the responsibility
that private industry must accept in
order TO give the necessary balance
to economic expansion"
The council reported a member
ship of 3,422, 1893 on August 31-the
greatest since 1921.

Wallace was asked whether the
lack of a control plan might not
result in another surplus, leaving
the administration up in the air
without any machinery to cope with
it. He said he could not estimate
a surplus ahead of time and that
he would rather wait to see what
would happen.
1T may be possible to find a solu-
ton that will prove better than the
AAA or the soil conservation act"
he said.

Belgium Asks Specific
Pledge From League

MYTH embarrassing directness.
w Belgium has demanded that
the League of Nations be specific
on what help an attacked member
nation could count on" In a note,
she demanded clarifcation of the
league covenant, particularly the
article applying to sanctions against
an aggressor. Efforts to prevent
war should be emphasized by the
league, Belgium said, and mea-
sures against countries which en-
danger peace should be improved
upon.
In a recent speech to parliament,
intended to clarity previous
address by King Leopold, Foreign
Minister Spaak said his country
would assure both Germany and
France that Belgium never would
become the jumping off place for an
attack on the territory of either
power.

Don't Try to "SGpe" on Home

There is one point, on which prac-
tically all doctors agree. That is:
Don't giue your child unknown remedies
Without asking your, doctor first.
All mothers know this. But some
times the instinct to save a few
pennies by buying something just
as good" overcomes caution.
When it comes to the widely used
children's remedy milk of mag

a century have said "PHILLIPS."
For Phillips Milk of Magnesia is the
standard of the world. Safe for chill

3O9-Year Old Volume Most
Ancient of 9 Books
Uncovered

The lead in the southwestern
Minnesota "oldest Bible" contest
was regained by New Ulm this
week, when ]. G. Pelzel came
through for his home town with a
volume "hot off the press" in 1927.
The book, printed in Latin and
German, predates by 35 years the
Bible owned by Rev. Henry Stas-
sen of Courtland, which rested in
first place in antiquity until Pei
eel produced his tome. Rev. Stas-
sens volume is 1862 edition.
The 800 year old Pelzel Bible
was printed in Strassburg, Ger
many, by Lazari Zetzners S. Err
ben. It's preparation, however,
was begun, by one Daniel Cramer,
in 1913. Cramer was doctor of
divinity. The book contains 1,424
pages, while elaborate wood blocks
engravings embellish the volume
throughout. On the inside cover of
the binding, which is the original
one are written the names of the
past owners. Pelzel purchased the
book in 1897 from a second hand
book dealer in Milwaukee.
Redwood Falls still enjoys the
publicity of having begun the
"war", over a month ago when the
Gazette published an article con-
corning a Bible, printed in 1857,
belonging to Rev. w. Henry West
by. The book has since been re-
legated to the ranks of a babe il
swaddling clothes by the others
which have been uncovered since
then.

FOUR PROBABLE
SLIDE VICTIMS
were AT Dinner
Cold Prevents Tony Crav-
iolini from Attending
Vanalis, Battello Missing

If he hadn't had bad cold, Tony
Craviolini would have been caught
in the slide that destroyed the Nick
inovich apartments. in which his
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Vanali
(GiovanalD, their three-year- old
daughter Lorraine and Pete Battello,
their dinner guest, have probably
lost their lives.
Craviolini, former proprietor OF
the Gastineau Cafe, had given the
Vanali's turkey and agreed to have
dinner with them Sunday When
Pete Battello, called for him yester-
day, Tony's cold was SO bad that
he thought he should stay home,
or, if he were going out, that he
should go to the hospital instead. So
Pete went to the dinner party, and
promised to bring Tony back some
turkey broth.
When he heard of the slide, Crawl
olini suffered d shock that decided
his doctor to send him to the hos
pital.
Today the tragedy through which
he lost his friends, its nearness to
him have Tony puzzled. He can't
quite believe his narrow escape.
Joe Vanali, "a contraction of his
surname, Giovanali), was about 80
years old. For the last eight months
he has been maintenance man at the
Gastineau Hotel. Previously he was
employed by H. B. Foss, architect
and contractor, in his trade as cleo
trician. Vanali had come to Alaska
from California where he was in
the electric contracting business.
Any relatives of the Vanali's are
thought to be in California.
Pete Battello, about SO years old,
has lived in Juneau many years He
was the proprietor of the North
Transfer Company and an active
member of the Moose Lodge. He has
brother, nephew and other rela-
tives living in Seattle.

Danger of additional slides doomed
over Juneau and vicinity this af-

though in apparently decreasing
quantities. Residents were moving
out of many houses on the hillside
between the district back of the
Gasineau Hotel and the Alaska Jul
neau mill. Water was pouring
down the various streams and
cracks were reported in the earth
in several places. The long, per-
sistent rain has loosened the earth
from bedrock, workmen stated.
While ceasing for a time this
morning, the rainfall in November
up to midnight last night had
reached 2031 inches and between
10 p. m. Saturday and 10 p. m.
Sunday 3.89 inches fell The pre-

inches in 1890 and indications this
afternoon were that the 1890 mark
would be surpassed.
