New Recreation Areas Now Ready
 for Public Use
Regional Forester Reports Cabins, Trails Completed
 at Three Nearby Lakes

Residents of the Juneau and
 Douglas community have new re-
 creation areas opened to them as
 the result of work completed by
 the U. s. Pores: Service this sum-
 mer, according to c. H. Flory, Re-
 gional Forester. Yesterday. MT.
 Flory took a plane and visited the
 various projects which have been
 carried through to completion the past summer, and, upon returning to his office here, expressed the sentiment that residents of this community have an equipped re- creational area at their door. if they wish to take advantage of it.
 At Hasselborg, Florence and Thayer lakes, the Forest Service has built shelter cabins, fireplaces, trails and erected signs for the ac- comrnodation and safety of the public. he explained, and they are located in the heart of Southeast Alaska's famed playground. Thirty minutes by .airplane, an hour at the most, and the fisherman or hunter is in the midst of excellent and fishing, MT. F1ory pointed out The cabins provide shelter, trails are marked and all the sportsman needs is few sup plies and his bed roll to enjoy the best hunting and fishing available.
 These improvements are made for the benefit of the public" the Regional Forester said. We want them to use them. These recrea- tional areas are among the finest in Southeast Alaska and it is our hope that people will take ad- vantage of the opportunities af- forded. With the low cost of air transportation, it is no trick at all to fly over, catch some fish or kill deer and have the plane call for you at certain hour and bring you back to town the same day"

ANOTHER 6. 0.P. BROADCAST GETS GENERAL DENIAL
Efforts Made to Link Presii. dents Son in Airplane
 Sales Is Refuted

WASHINGTON, Oct. "A fierce dispute has broken out over a dep osition attributed to Anthony H. G. Fokker, airplane manufacturer, that Elliott Roosevelt, aged 25, son of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, contracted in 1884 to sell 50 military planes to Russia for $500,00O com mission.
 Soon after the Senate Munitions Committee made public the sworn statement which also included the added statement that the sale was never made because the price ask ed of the Russians was too high, young Roosevelt denied he ever agreed to sell military planes to any government. He said he contracted with Fokker to represent him in the sale of commercial transport planes to private foreign corporations, but with the specific sipulaton he was not to sell to any government.
 The Committees document from Fokker, said Fokker wanted young Roosevelt to attempt to sell planes to various foreign governments, counting on the willingness of high foreign officials to receive Roose- welt as the son of the American President
 Young Roose -elt declared c.le story came originally from Republican sources and lis entirely false. At no time was my fathers participa- tion or knowledge of my transac- tions entered into with any discus sion with Fokker."
