NUGGETS" WIN
 ADMIRATION OF
 STATES PEOPLE
They Speak Our Language Says Girl from Oregon
 of Juneau Winners

ABOARD AWO SPECIAL, EN- ROUTE TO OLD MEXICO, March c3.-Better Times contest winners from Juneau, Alaska, and various cities in the states of Washington and Oregon are today clickety click ing to Old Mexico and sights perhaps never seen by them before.
 The special Alaska, Washington and Oregon train is hitting the steel rails south from Seattle and Port land. through Oregon and today is in California enroute to Los Angeles, which will be reached tomorrow, and San Diego on Wednesday.
 The Alaska Nuggets are at tracting great attention, not only from those gathered at the various stations where the special train makes brief stops, but from the girls of Washington and Oregon...
 "So Different"
 AS one little girl from Eastern Washington said: Why, those Ju- neau girls are just like any of us And they are so pretty, stynshly dressed, witty and so genial. I ex- pected to see girls so different"
 One miss from Oregon was sur prised that the Juneau girls were not attired in parkas and muklukS etc.
 Another girl from the Oregon plains said: And they speak our language as fluenIly as we do. per- haps better; at that"
 Two Suit Cases Left
 The Juneau girls had an exciting time in Seattle last Saturday and practically did not have a minute to themselves as so many affairs had been arranged for them. They all did get in some window shopping Saturday night they went to a the ater party instead of the opera due to the early departure of the train from Seattle for Portland
 In the general excitement two of the Juneau girls forgot their suit cases but these are expected to catch up with them in San Diego.
 Making Friends
 The Juneau girls made quick and fast friends with the Better Times winners from Washington and Ore gon as the train rolled southward. Many of the Washington and Ore gon girls, like several of those from Juneau, are also enjoying an ex- tensive trip for the first time and the general excitement of new scenes, etc, is contagious among the entire group
 The girls are a great bunch and there is not dull moment, even during the night, for if anything unusual happens, like the sudden stopping of the train, out tumble the girls from their berths, excitedly asking, Whats doing now?"

ROLLINS COLLEGE, Winter Park, Florida, March 23-Picturing the critics of the New Deal policies as people motivated by group in terests rather than of National vel fare, President Roosevelt appealed today to the citizens of the coun- try to be good neighbors and think in terms of the country as whole.
 President Roosevelt accepted the Honorary Degree Of Doctor of Lit erature from Rollins College He de- clared, in his acceptance speech, that the growth and progress in ed- ucation and politics and other spheres is invariably and inevitab- ly opposed to everything that is false or that leads blindly."

Political Strength of
 President ROOseueIt Is
 Increasing Day by Day

That President Roosevelt's politi- cal position strengthened consider ably during the past month. and his majority increased, is the re- gently released deduction of Dr. George Gallup, Director, American Institute of Public Opinion, from a poll which his institution conducted from early February to early March.
 President Roosevelt received 541 per cent of the major party vote cast in the poll, against 45.9 per cent for the Republicans. One month ago the President boiled 53.9 per cent
 The poll reveals, for the first time, according to the report. that the Presidents political support comes from four large groups of voters, persons in the lower economic levels, young persons, farmers and women. His majority in these groups ranges from 56 per cent among the women to 76 per cent among persons on relief.
 During the esent Congress Roosevelt's popularity climbed to its highest peak in the past 13 months.
 The score at the close of the poll early this month showed that the Democrats were leading in B states with total electoral vote of 343 (the number necessary to win, 266 elec- toral votes). The Republicans are ahead in II states with 128 electoral votes.
 The report points that the line- up may be altered after next June when the Republicans name their candidate. Following this the Nation al Weekly Poll will be able, for the first time in history to report wheth- CT party's strength increases or de- creases after its nominating conven- ton.
 The current poll consisted for 156.- 454 ballots by mail and personal in-

NO DECISION IN LABOR CASE FOR
 Z OR } WEEKS
Director Hope and Attor- neys Leaving Today for
 Seattle Hearing Over

Taking of testimony in the labor hearing on the charges of employ ment discrimination brought by Lo- cal 2O3, International Union of Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers, against the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, was completed shortly af- ter o'clock Saturday afternoon in Federal district court and the ses- sion adjourned.
 Trial Examiner Charles w. Hope, Director for the National Labor Re- lations Board. in this region, and E. A. Eagen, U. s. attorney, left this afternoon on the Alaska for Seattle and Carl E. Croson, Defense Attor- ney, was planning to leave tonight on the North Sea. Director Hope said before leaving that it probably would be from two to three weeks before decision would be forthcom- ing as all the notes taken at the hearing must be transcribed and all the evidence gone over again care fully. He will render the first opin- ion in the case and then it goes to the Board for approval or rejection. Appeal may be taken from the de- cision of the Board to the Circuit Court of Appeals and thence to the Supreme Court. No test case on the validity of the National Labor Re- lations Act has yet been taken to the highest court, although two lower court decisions have upheld the law, the Director stated.
 Lasted g Days
 The hearing concluded on the ninth day since it opened March 12 with one night session held to fa- cilitate proceedings. The transcript will run to great length and a long list of witnesses was called by each and virtually everything pertaining to the case was gotten into the rec ord. Even the street disturbance of last summer when group of men marched down toward the mine to register was written into the record. although both sides at the outset said they were going to avoid it. The special city election was gone into at great length and Director Hope held that while some of the matter, he believed, was immaterial to the case at hand, it was admitted on grounds that the Board should have

 StrengtheningPower

ROME, March 23.-Premier Be- nito Mussolini has abolished the Italian Chamber of Deputies, re- placing it with the Chamber oi Fascists and Corporations
 Simultaneously, the Premier abol- ished large private industries, leav- ing medium and small industries in existence.
 The occasion was the seventeenth anniversary of the founding of the Fascist Party.

 When and how war will come one does not know" he remarked, but the wheel of fate turns fast"
 The National Council of Guilds, composed of g productive, credit, transport, agricultural and profes- sional corporations said the large industries will be run directly or in directly by the government, some with mixed organization.
 Concerning sa n c t n s, he said, The siege is now in the fifth month. It has not and will not bend Italy. Only opaque ignorance could have brought anyone to have thought otherwise
 The speech came at the conclu- sion of three days conferences with Premiers Goemboes of Hungary and Schuschnigg of Austria, strengthen ing political and economic ties be- tween the countries.

Campaign Optimism

An election campaign is really very cheerful and happy time. Some citizens may worry about this or that, having their imagination soured by prophecies of destruction if the other side wins. But take the actual situation as represented by the workers of either of the big parties in any state, and it's wonderful.
 The republican politicians will tell you, without a moments hesitation, that things are all sewed up and the party's going to win in your state, or in almost any other state you're bothered about. The democrats will do exactly the same thing. Every headquarters radiates ap-
 timism. All is for the best, in the best of possible campaigns Everybody you want is going to be elected, every policy you favor is going to be alopted.
 True, there may come dreary dawn the day after election. But why bring that up now? Elections, anyway, are won largely on optisims. Cheerfulness breeds faith, and faith is mighty. The more people think cause is going to win, the more they flock to it. It's human nature to want to be on the winning side. Thus claims are as important as oratory and campaign funds.

Whistles

The Florida East Coast Railway has besn trying half dozen different whistles on special train, to find which the people prefer. The whistles were numbered and sounded experimentally in 70 towns between Jacksonville and Miami, and ballots were passed around fax listeners to record their choice. Here is. indeed, new note in American life. when before have railroad operators cared what people thought of their loco motive whistles, or any other kind of rail- x6sd noise? A. whistle was whistle, and
 s purpose was to warn and scare people, and that was that.
 If the railroad engines now turn musi- eaI. maybe motor vehicles will do likewise.
 ndeed, start has already been made in &Hzt field. Trucks haven't grown very nlelodious yet, but there are indications oI an artistic trend in busses and autos. why not2 Standardized whistles with musical tones might be just as effective x1E warming purposes as harsh noises that 5angIe peoples nerves or scare them to death.

the outdoor style of the average Ameri- can citizen, in the metropolis or anywhere else. We have always been very much inclined to throw or drop things where ever we liked - that is, outside of our homes - without thought of the conse- quences. It is still a common thing in most of our cities for people to toss paper and other litter on the streets or sidewalk instead of putting the stuff into public receptacles provided for that purpose, or taking it away with them.
 Foreign cities have long been more particular about such matters. In Ger many, it is said, anybody who drops a piece of paper or banana peel in the street, if seen by policeman, is fined $2.50 on the spot.

back of those events. He is a stu- dent with a background of educa- tion and culture. And what is of the utmost importance, if only be- cause of its rarity, he is an inde- pendent thinker and an honest expreSser of his thoughts. By some miracle he contrives to dis play his independence and ex- press his honesty in a newspaper whose chief characteristic is an ingrained, ineradicable contempt for democracy as 8 political insti- tuition and whose dominant pas sion is an animosity towards Pres- ident Roosevelt which can only be described correctly as a phobia. MT. Lippman never indulges in the cheap diatribes against the men surrounding the President and never takes part in the crazy smelling-out of intellectual and social witches in the national ad- ministration which is the favor ite pastime of the Herald Tribune editors and the republican press which slavishly follows their lead. But, no more than Homer, can MT. Lippman avoid an occasional nod over the page he is writing. It seems to me that during his study of the two major figures in the presidential race he went fast asleep.

This weekend and coming week will probably be the high points of the autumn season for those who go out for to see and for to enjoy. New England and Connecticut will be at their showiest. The holiday falling Monday gives weekend holiday folks an extra day to trip through New England. Tourist automobile bu- reaus have been sending out literature extolling the beauties of the landscape this month. The White Mountains aspect where the reds and yellows appear bit earlier than down in our own state is attractively described thus by one of the bureaus: "Solid blankets of red, yellow, gold and green, blending against back ground of evergreen mountains. Here and there are overhead, fleecy clouds floating lazily across blue sky" We New Englanders brag lot about our autumn show, but why not, for such display of beauty as our autumn landscape offers should be bragged about

Apprenticeship

With the revival of industry and the rapid absorption of skilled workmen, the country begins to feel the lack of appren- tice training. The conference of the National Youth Administration at Albany called upon the state government to help organize such training in all lines of skilled work. There is a shortage of skilled men not only because the old ap- prentice system has broken down, but because industry is demanding trained people for new lines of work.
 An authority in industrial education suggests corporation of co-operators, :" including representatives of vocational training schools, employers and labor groups, to outline program for such framing. The appentice program, says another educator, must be essentially an educational one, and there should be In it no exploitation of either employer or efaploye It is double problem of pro- viding young people with work and pro Viding industry with needed skill and Intelligence.
 Organized labor, says Dr. William O.. Hotchkiss of Rensselaer, Polytechnic h. stitute, should get over the fear of ap- prentice training" Properly managed, Ib should benefit labor as much as industry.

Incorrect Assumptions

If I read MT. Lippman's article with any degree of understanding whatever, it is based on incorrect estimates of the political philos- ophy and the theory of govern ment of the two candidates. MT. Lippman assumes that there is little essential difference between them, leaving out of course, their personal unlikeneSs. Both are lib- erals, both are progressive, both are seeking the same end. There is not much variation in the means each thinks should be used to reach that end. If it were not for one important item MT. Lipp- man would be in the Roosevelt corner instead of acting as one of Gov. Landon's seconds. The item is the fact, according to MT. Lipp- man, that the President has not availed himself of the best brains at his disposal as consultants, that he has surrounded himself with theorists of the widest type and with experiment lists of the most irresponsible kind. It strikes me that the assumptions are alto- gether unfounded and that the conclusion is untenable in 8 logician of MT. Lippnan's train ing.
