PROBE OF WPA
ISDEMANDED
IN SENATE
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
international News Service


A sweeping investigation Of all
charges o. waste and political
preferment in the administration
Of the WPA was asked today in q
resolution introduced in the Sen
ate by Senator Davis (R) Of
Pennsylvania.
Davis demanded the inquiry be
held to determine how many po-
litical henchmen were holding
salaried jobs in the various State
relief organizations. He also de-
manded the inquiry determine
whether the relief organizations
were being used to collect politi-
cal funds or for other political
purposes.
Davis charged Harry Hopkins,
head Of the WPA, withheld in
formation from the public about
payrolls. He said an "air Of mys-
terry and secrecy surrounded
WPA" headquarters here.
He renewed previously pub
Hshed charges that Harry w.
Fee, Democratic chairman in
Indiana county, Pa, had solicited
political contributions from the
WPA workers. He said Hopkins
while announcing he would investi-
gate the charge, refused to make
his findings public.
Davis also charged David L.
Lawrence, Democratic state
chairman Of Pennsylvania, had
solicited subscriptions to q Demo!
cratic State paper from WPA
officials. He told Of one man,
name withheld, who received
a letter from Lawrence with "a
81 subscription blanks with a
request that he get the Subscrip-
tionS filled among his friends.
Davis said this shocked and
amazed me-" He added:
"This illustrates the sinister
use Of relief for political pur.
poses. have received many
other letters charging partisan
administration of the WPA in
Pennsylvania.
ut is impossible to get any
information about the WPA.
I can get no reports on the
number and salaries Of those
in charge Of relief. 1 believe
it is in the public interest to
investigate the whole admins
tratiOn of the WPA."

Alaska, Power To Legislate,
 Is Described
BY HOWARD LYING

(EDITOR'S NOTE-The follow ing descriptive article of the Tel ritory of Alaska, it's industries and the powers of it's legislative body, are told in a very interest ing style by Howard Lyng, mem- Der of the House of Representa- tives of the 1885 Alaska Legis- lature.)
 The Territory of Alaska was purchased from Russia in 1867, and the treaty by which it was transferred to the United States was signed on March 30th of that year. Very little attention was paid to Alaska from the time of its purchase until certain epoch al events that stirred the world occurred in the late 1890's.
 The occupation of Alaska by the United States during this perod was largely military and commercial and at the time offer ed no inducement for coloniza- tion or settlement. Our great Territory as we know it today, was firmly fixed in the minds of the people of the States as Sew ards Icebox'-a vast country of perpetual snow and ice, with none of the comforts of civili- zation.
 The Magic Word Gold
 The discovery of gold that set the imagination of the world afire in 1897 saw thousands of people rushing into the Terri tory with the influx of the pro- spector and miner, and the result ant spreading out searching for new fields, one strike followed the other, until the paternal gov ernment was forced from the lethargy of its somnolent atti- tude and on June 9th, 1900 by Act of Congress, Alaska was made a civil and judicial dist rict.

That Garibaldi's Homecoming

the margin of three victories to
one which the younger circuit
now enjoys.
The home run of Lou Gehrig in
the seventh inning was a bright
spot Of the game and helped to as
Suage the American League dismay.
Goose GoSlin's single his first
time up, and Jimmy Foxx, too,
were further proof that that old
time strength lies in such bats as
have long carved hitting history
in the junior circuit.
But all of this strength, as we'll
as that for which Luke Appling
is far famed, was kept nicely
scattered by the likes of Dean,
Hubbell and Warneke, and this
will be something over which the
National LeaguerS will gloat for
many day to come. Gehringer
alone lived up to advance no
tees, in view of the fact he
played throughout all of the game.
GrOUe, ROWe Sailed
Meanwhile, two of the Ameri-
can League pitching aces, Lefty
Grove and Schoolboy Rowe, were
well sailed in the second and
fifth innings, respectively, by
those determined National League
Slugsmithts.
Augie'S Galan's home run off
Rowe, with one out in the fifth,
was a determined drive, equally
as much SO as was Gehrig's off
Davis. The Schoolboy made the
mistake Of growing one to the
Cub player who failed to show up
so sensationally in the las; world
series, and he took it for a ride
that will resound around here
almost as long as has the mid
night alarm of Paul Revere.
All of the starting National
LeaguerS, except RIP" Collins,
hit safely, and Herman, the spark
plug second baSeman of the Chi
cago Cubs, got two Safeties.
Thus, it was the National
League, not the American, which
presented murderer's row, and, for
the information of the young lady
seeing her first ball game, who in
quired, they are no relation to
Schoolboy Rowe!
