of major upsets Mary Cootes.
defending champion an d
49, Edith Clarke, City of Wash
ington tournament finalist, should
meet in the final of the District
women's tournament, off TO a fine
start on the courts of the Columbia
Country Club.
Too early, OF course. to make any
accurate predictions, they loom as the
class of the field of IS entrants, 81 of
whom were eliminated from cham
pionship consideration in first round
matches yesterday.
Although Miss Cootes was carried
to two deuce sets by Eleanor Craven,
president Of the Womens Tennis
League, the champ has the ability to
crack down when necessary, especially
when she is defending 9 title so we'll
worth keeping.
Thought to be well on the way to
meeting Miss Clarke in the final of
the city tourney, Mary proved the
surprise" victim of Margaret Rob-
inson, which became no surprise at all
when the latter proved herself the
best player in town to win The Star
cup.
Edith, now engaged in the final
stages Of the mixed doubles tourna-
ment of the City of Washington as
well as the early rounds of the Dis
trict, will be kept busy riding the 2
miles from Columbia to Edgemoor
the next two days, but she should
advance TO the final round, even
though forced to do double duty.
Dorette Miller, Sara Moore, Flor
ence Black, Alison Claflin and Lydie
Stoke were among yesterdays victors
scheduled to play second round
matches today. with the doubles play
slated to get under way this after

 Set Up Alaska Be Greater Hawaii

SEATTLE, June 46-- The S-attle Post-ln elligen- cer said that Congressman Byron B. Harlan of Dayton Ohio said that the federal government has made plans to establish another Alaskan Colony similar to that of Matanuska for the purpose of creating gigantic naval airbase to be operated by permanent force of twenty thousand men.

Fisheries vessel Brant with Colonel Charles Marsh chairman of the Federal Trade Commission Harlan declined to reveal the exact b. cation of the second colony to be undertaken soon
 The newspaper further said that Harlan sai5 that " the Alaska base will be greater than that at Hawaii which will be difficult to defend in time of war because it relies the mainland for suppes to avoid this str tegic weakness Alaska must be sufficiently coIonze to produce food and other supplies to support i own population as well the military forces station there In case of war the second colony alone Woul not be able to produce sufficient supplies for the maya air base. thus several others must be undertaken"
 He did not indicate how the base would be established but Harlan is quoted saying that in ad- dition to the airplanes large army post and war yes sels will be established in the territory.

FOR NEW DEAL
Promises Help Common People Within Constitution If Possible If NOt-Amend 1t. \ Sound
 Currency Is Planned
(By The Associated Press)

PHILADELPHIA, June 26, - The Democratic platform com mittee underwriting the policies of Franklin D. Roosevelt, gave to the party last night a new battls cry which was contained in a pledge to amend the constitution if necessary to it's purpose, but it laid down a guiding rule. It asserted that government has three unacceptable obligations
 First, the protection of family and home; second, the establish ment of democracy of opportun- ity for all people; and third, to aid those overtaken by disaster.
 The platform went further to say that drought, dust storms, minimum wages, maximum hrs, child labor, working conditions in industry, monopolists, and unfair business practices could not be handled adequately by the forty eight states, and;
 If these problems cannot be solved by legislation within the the constitution we promise to seek a clarifying amendment in order to bring about the pro- per authority.
 The platform was vociferously approved by the convention with out debate.
 It called the Republicans, the ones who have and would again regiment the American people in service and privileged groups" It praised the democratic lead ership for having put the nation "back on the road to restored health and prosperity, after 12 years of republican leadership that left our nation sorely strick en in body, mind, and spirit"
 There was no mention either of gold or silver monetary plank, but instead, a dedication to a permanently sound currency so stabilized as to prevent former wide fuctuation in value"
 The platform asserted that the nation today has the soundest currency in the world. It pledg- ed the party to use all available means to raise farm income to- wards pre-war purchasing power, through soil conservation and al lotment programs, and "vigor- ously and fearlessly" enforce the antitrust laws, and restore them where they have been weakened.
