 Voted Against Project

CLEWISTON, Fla, Dec. 3.-Unit- ed States Senator Elmer Thomas said here today that the Matanuska colonists who, Tuesday, voted 135 for approval of the project faced dismissal if they had done other wise.
 T am surprised that even four voted against the colony" he said.
 Senator Thomas added, The best evidence of what the colonists really think of the project is that one-third of those who went North subsequently, returned.
 When one leaves country where everything is given him, that is real condemnation.
 T believe all of them will see no future for the colony when Government aid ceases as it may some day"

Congress Will Probably Be Asked to Continue
 Schedule

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Congress may be asked to continue most of the nuisance taxes on the schedule which expires by July l including gasoline, radio parts, mechanical re- frigerators, firearms and automo- piles which raised 300,000,000 dur ing the last fiscal year and $780, 100000 for the first five months of this fiscal year.
 Tax experts said this revenue will be needed if the Budget is to be balanced, but they also said some of the taxes could be eliminated because the collection cost is excess sive in relation to the returns.

Wild Turkey
 Wild? Why?

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. = The Government today pointed an &C., cusing finger at the Pilgrim fathers and said they drove the American turkey wild. When the Pilgrims landed, said Colonel H. P. Sheldon, of the Biological Survey Bureau, the original American gobbler was very tame bird"
 He would come right out of the woods and approach the Pilgrims, who would promptly knock him dead with a club. Colonel Sheldon scoffs at stories of Pilgrims hunt ing turkeys with blunderbusses; he says powder and shot were too ex- pensive to waste on bird that could be clubbed. But soon the sur viving wild turkeys learned their lesson. They began to avoid man and now they are extremely hard to bag.

KING EDW ARD WILL KEEP BOTH
 FRIEND, THRONE
Bachelor Monarch Would Resign Before Losing
 Friendship
REFUSES TO MEET
 DEMANDS OF CABINET
Should Constitutional Cris- Is Result in General FL
 ection King Would Win

LONDON, Dec. 3-King Edward has made up his mind to keep both his throne and his friendship with Mrs. Wallis Simpson, the Associated Press was informed by source of news high in Government and close to the King.
 Ensconsed in his guarded Fort Belvedere retreat, with both Mrs Simpson and his brother, the heir presumptive Duke of York, pres ent, the bachelor head of the House of Windsor let it be known that he would never surrender to the de- mands of Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin that he give up his friend ship with Mrs Simpson.
 Publication
 If he loses in the threatened con- stitutional crisis, preceding which the Prime Minister is believed to have informed the King that the British Cabinet, with the backing of Parliament. is prepared to resign unless he surrender any plan he may have to wed the American-b di- vorcee, it might even mean abdica- tion on the part of Edward.
 Even that would not break ur their friendship. the King is sup posed to have let it be known in response to the demands of the Government and the Church of England that he renounce her.
 Wins First Round
 That the King has won the first show of strength is definite.
 Yet with the Empires fate close to his heart, he insisted stubborn ly upon his right to a private life.
 Gray and shaken, his Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin stood be- fore the House of Commons today and said he had no statement to make when asked if constitutional crisis would arise later.
 All For King
 Dramatically, Laborite Colonel Right Honorable Josiah Clement Wedgewood told the British Press Association in apparent confirma- tion of the Kings winning in the present argument, "the King is the most beloved thing we have We have got to avoid more than any thing else, his abdication. Any change will tear our country in two. If a general election comes, the outcome will be on the side of the King"

WHAT IT MEANS TO U. S.

What does such arming abroad mean to the United States? A number of things, including:
 Increased pressure of delegates from the United States to have all American republics at the Buenos Aires conference adopt neutrality acts similar to this country's.
 Increased pressure from prepar- edness advocates, including the ar my and navy, for larger Congress sional appropriations for partially matching overseas building
 Increased pressure by pacifists upon Congress to do nothing of the kind
 Washington hears much talk of budget trimming for the next Con- gress, but little of it centers around the army and navy budgets, which again are expected to pass the bill lion dollar level.

 POULTRY ABOARD Boxer Making Sitka, Juneau Arctic Catching Skag-
 way on Return

Residents of Juneau and Sitka will receive emergency food sup plies by Wednesday or Thursday of next week and virtually all points will be served during the latter part of next week, according to a message to Gov John w. Troy today from Col Otto F. Ohlson, Manager of the Alaska Railroad, who is now in Seattle supervising the chartering and handling of ships by the gov- ernment for Alaska.
 The Boxer will leave Seattle at 8. p. m. Saturday for Sitka and the Arctic will get away at 10 o'clock Sunday morning for the north, the Colonel radioed.
 His message, copy of which was sent the Juneau Chamber of Com- merce, follows:
 Gives Schedules
 Seattle merchants and wholesale houses have been advised that the Alaska Railroad will commence re- ceiving freight, except automobiles, trucks, wine, liquors, explosives and coal, to the following points in AL aska at the Port Commission Dock, Bell Street Terminal, Seattle, com- mencing Thursday ttoday) Decem- Der 3; Sitka, Craig, Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg, Juneau, Skag- way, Cordova, Valdez and points to the westward from Seward and rail belt.
 Reports so far received indicate there will be approximately 40 tons of meat and poultry but as we can only handle about 100 tons these commodities will have to be pro- rated and shippers will be advised accordingly.
 Expect the Boxer to sail at p. m. Saturday, December fifth, going direct to Sitka, thence Juneau. Cor dova and Seward where it will be used in shuttle service to Vest ward. Expect Arctic to sail at 10 a. m. Sunday, December sixth, call- ing Ketchikan, Wrangell, Peters, burg. Juneau, Cordova, Valdez and on return from Seward will call at all ports, including Skagway with exception of Sitka and will pick up all southbound business offered. Steamer Arctic has second class cabin accommodations on upper deck for about 35 persons and steer age accommodations for $50 per- sons"
 Protest has been made by Presi- dent John M Keller of the Skag- way Chamber of Commerce through the Territorial Chamber to the Gov ernor against the Arctic's not stop- ping at Skagway, but it developed from Col. Ohlson's message that the vessel would touch Skagway on the return trip. Gov. Troy ex- plained that the original plan of Col. Ohlson's was to have the Torrance from Chilkoot Barracks serve Skag- way as well as Chilkoot and Haines. The Governor radioed Mayor w. J. Mulvihill of Skagway today of Col. Ohlson's latest decision Col Ralph Dusenbury of the Barracks, had been contacted by Col. Ohlson, but it was not known today whether any supplies for Skagway would be dropped off here on the northern trip to be taken to that city on the Torrance to fill the emergency un- til the Arctic might return from Seward.

WORLD BREEDS WARRIORS NOW

Besides Those Ready for Field, Millions Are
 Held in Reserve
By PRESTON GROCER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-So fast do the nations of the world breed warriors that the armies they could put in the field right now would outnumber-man for man-the ar mics in the field at the close of the World War.
 The end of the war found on duty 21 ,237,000 soldiers of the seven principal belligerents, not includ ing naval forces. That lists nearly all as active, since in war there usually are no reserves" in the peacetime sense. Japan had 2,000- 900 World War reserves, however, with an active army of 293,OO0 men,.

MILLIONS IN RESERVE

In active service now are 4,415,000 soldiers. But in the same seven nations, trained to degree to per- init quick induction into the firing Ines, are 29,981 ,000 reserves. Added to the actives these make potential armies of 34,396,000 men. Austro- Hungarian forces are not included, since after the war that country was divided.
