IS PASSED
IN SURPRISE
MOVE
McSwain Tells Smith
All Rights Will Be
Protected

In q surprise move, the House
today unanimously approved the
resolution authorizing the Secre.
tary of War to promulgate safety
regulations for Military Road. The
bill now goes to the Senate.
Just before the House took &C.
ton, the question of whether the
Federal Government had any
legal right to control the road
was raised at meeting Of the
Senate Military Affairs Commit
tee. It asserted that the public in
Virginia had had use of the road
for Is years and if this is true
the road now belongs to the State
of Virginia under the rule Of ad'
verse possession.
Senate Delays Action
The Senate committee there
fore decided to withhold. action
until they are advised by the
Attorney Generals office as to
the legal status.
Representative Howard w.
Smith CD Of Virginia objected
to the House bill until he was
assured by Representative John
j. McSwain that the measure
will not result in closing the
road to traffic. The Military Al.
fairs Committee chairman said
"My construction OF the Ian.
guage now contained in the res.
OIutiOn Is that the Secretary of
War may prescribe the c0ndi.
tiOns for the use Of the read hy
vehicular, pedestrian and air
plane traffic. 1 doubt that he
will prevent any Of these from
using the road, but win take
necessary steps SO that ali may
use it safely"
SMITH REASSURED
Representative Smith said he
understood that if the resolution
were adopted by the House it was
to 60 to the Senate Military At
fairs Committee where "they will
endeavor to clarity the language
SO we will know what it means.
He told the House that before
this action was taken he wanted to
konw whether or not the War
parment will place the same con,
struction on thhe language as
IMcSwain. Representative McSwain
replied:
81 can assure the gentleman
that / am a conferee, I will be
sympathetic to his feeling In the
matter, and / feel reasonably
certain that his interest will not
be disregarded." <
The resolution was adopted.

Ken Murray
Says:

In answer to the "antf-lOve"
code prescribed by the Dean Of
American University for its
students, Congressman Josh
Lee. of Oklahoma, said that you
can't IegisIate love. Guess the
CONGRESSMAN knows that Cupid
has NO more respect for legis-
latiOn, than the Supreme Court.
Apparently, in coed schools,
the stu -ents who used to burn
the midnight OIL" are now
substituting highest gas.
Well, one thing III say for
COngressman Lee Is that he
seems to know what it's all
about. He realizes that yOu
can't expect to prevent the
young folks in college from
being coy, when even statd old
political students in Congress
are flirting with other parties.
P.S. 1 wonder what political
term you'd use for students who
chisel q few kisses on the side?

HARD TIMES ARE BEHIND
 SAYS BAKER
Steamship Company Offlc- ial Bases Belief on
 Spending byPeople

SEATTLE, June 2. = That the United States is now definitely emerging from the depression and leaving hard times behind is the belief of L. W. Baker, Traffic Man ager of Alaska Steamship Com pany.
 Baker bases this belief on the fact that people are now spending a great deal more for the extras of life than was the case two ana three years ago.
 More money is being spent for amusements and for travel today than has been spent on these things for a number of years. Peo- ple who either have not had the money for the luxuries of life, or have been afraid to spend money on things not absolutely necessary seem to have more money now and to feel a greater confidence in spending it for the things that make life more pleasant" Baker said.
 .This is a common phenomena when better times come back. Peo- pie find their amusements within the home during hard times, but

A2o,0U0 BEING SPENT BY PWA
 IN WESTWARD
Projects Getting Under Way Rapidly, Gridley
 Reports on Return

Public works costing approximate ly $420,000 are now under way in the westward, according to Ross A. Gridiey, PWA State Engineer h. spector, who returned to his head quarters here last night on the Aleutian. All the work is getting well under way, he reported, and some of it will be completed in a short time.
 The major projects include:
 Cordova-New City Hall, repairs to school and combination sewer.
 Valdez New school building, grade and high.
 Anchorage-City Hall and tele- phone exchange to be. started later
 Seward = Hydro-electric plant bids for which have not yet been called.
 School building near ly completed.

as money becomes freer, they spend more on outside amusements, and on travelling for pleasure. This tendency first began to show last season in the tourist travel to AL aska. when this travel reached it's greatest height since 1929. Advance bookings for this tourist season are the largest in our history. More people will see Alaska and the scenic beauties of the Inland Pas sage this year than ever before. More people will carry home with them memories of Alaskan natural beauty, and the Territory's inter esting and unique industries-sal- mon fishing and canning, mining, and logging than any other year in Alaska's history.
 Alaska, too, will benefit greatly from the money spent by these tourists for lodging, food, souvenirs and other pleasures in the Terri tory. Many sections of the United States annually spend large amounts of money to attract tourist crop. Alaskans realize the value of the
 tourist to the country, and do ev-
 erything they can to make visitors happy and comfortable.
 The greatly increased interest of American tourists in Alaska can be attributed to a number of fac tors" Baker continued. Unsettled political conditions in Europe have
 undoubtedly helped. More adver-
 tising of Alaska by steamship lines
 and railroads have accounted for
 some of the pick up. Advertising by the Canned Salmon Industry lin weekly and monthly magazine;
 in the States, has also done good
 deal to publicize the romance o'
 Alaska among the members of thu
 family who frequently are the mos Influential in making up the trave Itinerary, the housewives
