HOPKINS HITS
BACK AT FOES
OF WPA SETUP

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. W.P-
Works Progress Administrator Har-
ry l.. Hopkins asserted last night
that "the man in the street is rea-
sonably we'll satisfied with results
of the New Deal work relief spend
ing despite fantastic charges by
administration critics.
The director of the largest fed
eral unemployment agency, which
spent $1,000, 100000 last year, based
his statement on recent Fortune
magazine poll to sound public opin-
ion of WPA.
Political enemies of the program
have kept up barrage of fantastic
charges" Hopkins said. ''Yet the
first national survey based specifi-
cally on WPA, and conducted by a
magazine whose chief audience is
rich and powerful, finds the man in
the street reasonably well satisfied"
Hopkins discussed the fortune poll
for the first part of his 15-minute
radio speech and then retorted to
specific charges made against WPA
by Frank Knox, Republican vice.
presidential candidate, and other
critics.
u. N. Darling, a crusader for
conservation" Hopkins said, "charg-
ed publicly that WPA was spending
millions of dollars for malaria con-
troll in Maine, although Maine has
not had malaria case for $50
years.
The charge was completely er-
roneous, and was refuted in full in
a public statement by the U. S.
surgeon general. Yet, only the other
day while I was travelling in the
west, there was Col Frank Knox
speaking in the state of Washington
and electrifying his listeners with
the scandalous charge that WPA
spent millions on malaria control in
Maine.
Colonel Knox made two speeches
in Maine last month. Why didn't
he tell his fake story about Maine
malaria control then, to the people
of Maine? Why did he wait until
he got to Washington, as far away
as he could get on dry land?"

ALASKA READY
FOR WINTER

PALMER, Alaska, Oct. 10. kU.PJ-
A bountiful harvest some of which
was sold and the remainder stack
ed high in the log cabins which dot
the fruitful Matanuska Valley, as
sured the Matanuska experimental
reSettlement colony a winter OF
plenty and contentment today.
Facing their second winter in
southeastern Alaska, far from their
former homes in Minnesota, Wis
consin and Michigan, the 200 col
onist families were in cheerful
mood and we'll satisfied with the
prospects of rehabilitating their for
tunes in the far north. The dissat-
isfaction which led so families to
abandon the project appeared end
ed.
Yields of 1886 crops overcame one
of their major problems - that of
food. The next problem they must
meet is that of marketing the crops,
dairy products and other farm
stuffs they produce.
To encourage experimentation in
growing corn, which requires a
longer growing season than is usual
in this latitude, the Alaska railroad
offered SO cents per ear. Clifford
Lennon formerly of Minnesota,
sold go ears. Walter Pippel, also
of Minnesota purchased a truck and
made money supplying vegetables
to Anchorage families.
The new Palmer creamery will
furnish a market for surplus milk
and cream in the autumn. Near

some have several.

Seattle, Feb. 15, Alas ka coal is good coal, but too far away from the Un- ited States, said J. R. Um- mel, purchasing agent. for the Alaska Railroad, in commenting on the state ments of John E. Ballaine, who asserted in an open let ter to President Roosevelt, that the bankers and rail- roads in the states were influencing the govern ment's policy against the development of Alaska mines.
 Ummel said that the branch line of the Alaska Railroad running to Chick aloon had been abandoned because there was not en- ough traffic to justify the line, as trucks had taken the business.
 He stated that the Inter- for Department buys about two thousand tons of coal from the EVans-JOneS min- es near Matanuska, for the use of schools and other buildings on Boring Sea

OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND Delegate from Alaska
 (By J. J. ECKLES)
January 25, 1886.

January 25, 1886.
 January 21. Represent ing the Alaska Seiners' As sociation, Thomas Han bury and Jake Zeldenrust, accompanied by Delegate Dimond, called on Mrs. Roosevelt today. The First Lady expressed great in- terest in the mission on which Messrs. ZeldenruSt and Hanbury are engaged and-but the story is best told in Mrs. Roosevelt's own words as taken from the columns of the Wash ington Daily News of Jan- uary 23, 1886:
 Two fishermen, Jacob Eel denrust and Thomas Hanbury, came to see me this afternoon, brought by their representative MT. Dimond of Alaska.
 One of them represents the white fishermen of his district and the other was native In- dian born in Alaska. They had come in support of a bill to do away with fish traps, and to al low fishing for salmon only by seines.
 We sat down and drank cof- fee together and ate dimunitive cakes. l felt quite sure that they would go back and report that I did not provide very satisfying food. l did not dare ask much about what was brought to them, however, for I knew the house. hold was preparing for 1000 people for tea between 4 and 6. There is such a thing as the last straw that breaks the camels back, so I accepted whatever was brought without a murmur, and tried to act as though the dim cakes were the fashion in Washington.

Fearing Aerial
 Attacks On the
 Capital Of Eth.
(By The Associated Press)


 Undated, Feb. Is. Eth iopian diplomatic sources expressed fear of Italian in tentions to bomb Addis Ab- aba, in revenge for assert ed Fascist casualties along the northern front. Fears arose from persistent aerial attacks during the last few days, when Italian planes sWooped down on Makale, Dessye and other concentra tion points of the defend ing forces.
 Informed sources in Rome declared the inVad- CTS were pushing the north ern front offensive in an ap parent effort to solidify the Italian lines.
 An Ethiopian communi- que today reported that the two missionaries previous ly held for failing to leave the war zone, had been sent to the concentration camp at Sodu.
