JUNEAU SMALL BOAT HARB0R
 GIVEN BOOST
National Rivers and Har- bors Congress Approves
 Proposed Project
ACTION EXPECTED
 TO AID UNDERTAKING
Gathering of Data Complet- ed-Hearing Schedul-
 ed Here in June

New encouragement for the small boat harbor for Juneau was given today in a letter to the City Coun- cil from Fred D. Beneke, Secretary of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, who stated that at the recent session of the Congress in Washington, D. O., the Juneau har- Dor had been put on the list of ap- proved projects.
 Secretary Beneke said it has been designed as Class One undertak- ing which classified it as sound and needful and that it should have favorable action.
 While having no official standing, the National Rivers and Harbors Congress has in it's membership many Congressmen, army engin- eers, and national leaders interest ed in such matters and it's approval is interpreted here as giving the Ju- neau project substantial support in the proper government sources.
 Work of compiling data on the small boat harbor involving the volume of small boat operations over period of years, has been completed and forwarded to the Army engineers by Allen Shattuck, Chairman of the Chamber of Com merce small boat harbor committee, which co-operated with the City in assembling the information.
 Hearing on the matter is sched- uled for next month here in Ju- neau before Army engineers, ac- cording to previous word from Col. H. J. Wild, Army District Engineer in Seattle.

 When we started we had scien- tific deductions on the American Indian tribes and the natives of Russia" Dr. Hrdlicka said sThe whole evidence of the study of the American people shows that they must have come from Asia. What we needed was material evidence, what they brought with them in the way of culture, their clothing, even their diseases Medical infor- nation is an important part of the work, many constitutional diseases leave marks on the bones.
 We have found far more than we ever hoped for, but not yet enough. The more we learn, the more there is to learn. Instead of becoming sinplisied by knowledge. it becomes more complicated by opening up additional fields"

 The immigration from Asia ex- tended, perhaps, over several thou sand years, Dr. Hrdlicka said. The inhospitable nature of the territory involved indicates that the migra- tion was not single large group, but numerous small bands of peo- pie who multiplied in America, giving rise to the American peo- pie These people must have left material remains" he said, "and we are trying to locate their habi- tations, villages"

AN OLD PRACTICE
 While all of this may appear odd for an administration which has produced so many political sur prises, it is quite in accord with the orthodox practices of former campaign years.
 Whenever a President is running for reelection, the normal thing is for the opposition to shoot off most of the pre-convention fire works.
 The party in power usually knows who it's nominee will be; what it's platform will say, who will run the campaign. The party out of pow CT usually is divided, squabbling over all of these questions. The ins therefore prefer to remain quiet, letting the country concentrate its attention on the troubles of the outs.
 That is what the Presidents managers are doing now. The loud CT the debate becomes among the Republicans, the more the Demo-

NEW DEALERS
 WITHHOLD FIRE
 FOR CAMP A!CN
For Present, Political Lead CTS Exploding No
 Bombshells
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

[ The tactical policy of the Demo- cratic high command obviously is to refrain, for the present, from eX- ploding any bombshells.
 MT. Roosevelt's recent speeches before party rallies in Baltimore and New York surprised many lis- teners, who had expected him to open the campaign with some spec tacular announcement
 Most of the administration spell binders temporarily have retired from speechmaking entirely, and the publicity output from national party headquarters is noticeably smaller than formerly.
 Even the much-advertised ad- dress of Secretary Roper before the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, expected by some to embody at least hint of re- newed industrial regulation by the government, turned out to be largely a treatise advising business how it might help itself.
 On the industrial question, Sec retary Perkins gave political cir cles tip when she told Chicago interviewer that Washington pro- posed to wait until the first of next year before deciding whether to propose anything new with respect to unemployment and relief
 Some politicians believe the Pres ident may speak out xnore vigor- ously on some issues in his aceep- tance speech after the Philadelphia convention, but meantime compar- atiye political quiet seems in store on the Potomac.
