OPEN HEARINGS
| DEMANDED IN
WPAPR0BE

Republican political leaders,
hoping to prove that giant Fed
eral relief agencies are being
used to reflect President Roose-
welt, today planned to lay evil
dence of alleged coercion Of
workers in Works Progress Ad-
ministration in Pennsylvania be-
fore the Senate Campaign Fund
Committee.
Having won from Senator
Lonergan CD of Connecticut,
chairman, a promise to present
the Pennsylvania situation before
the committee a week from to
day, the Republicans planned. to
demand open, public hearings to
explore their charges.
Specific charges Of the use OF
WPA workers in Pennsylvania by
Democratic politicians already
have been laid before the COM
mittee.
An unidentified Philadelphia
lawyer, who made a personal in
vestigation Of the conduct of the
huge relief agency in PennSyl-
vania, has given committee agents
evidence which, he maintains,
shows clearly that Democratic pol
iticS have been injected into relief.
A preliminary investigation Of
the Pennsylvania charges will be
made next Monday. Demands will
be made at that time for open
public hearings.
The committee, which includes
Senators Minton CD, of Indiana:
SchWellenbach CD, of Washing
ton; Frazier (R), Of North Da-
kota, and Austin (RO, of Vermont,
agreed to inquire into the Penn
sylvania situation on the basis of
a letter from Senator Davis (R0,
Of that State.
Evidence now in the hands Of
the Republican National Commit
tee, which includes statements
that WPA workers are erecting
Roosevelt shrineS" along the high
ways, calling for reelection of the
President, will be given to the
committee.
A two-way investigation, which
will include hearing of Democratic
charges that Republican employers
in Pennsylvania are seeking to
coerce employees, may be ordered.

FOURTH OF JULY

For the first time since early in the '90's Wrangell faces the possib- ility of not celebrating the Fourth of July.
 For years the Fourth was the day of days at Wrangell Patriotic eX- erclses started the days program of activities with a long listing of sports eeynts. We had ball games, boat, canoe and tender races, log rollings and other water contests besides every sort of field day ath- letic events, with entries open to every one from the fiye-year-olde and up; no age limit for adults. All this to the frequent accompani- ment of a brass band.
 Some years we even had parades, with floats and a line of march led by the color bearer of one of the local organizations.
 Through custom the mayor call ed a public meeting some time in May Ito maka elaom pksnfT May Ito make plans for a Fourth of July celebration" This meeting usually brought out from fifteen to twenty persons, the number dimin. ishing steadily in recent years. The mayor appointed a general com mittee of three. who in turn ap- pointed the subcommittee
 So little interest in a Fourth of July observance has been evidenced this year that so far no prepara- tion has be2n made. We believe this is a mistake. While sports events can no longer be held on Front street, a great part of the usual events can be held on the school Ilayfield.
 This would certainly be better than an aimless wandering about the streets all day with nothing to do, which will result from the lack of a planned celebration
 However, plans for a community celebration should be made several weeks ahead of the holiday aud to that end it would seem wise to effect a permanent Fourth of July organization.

USE OF LIQUOR BY INDIANS
 IS MAJOR PROBLEM IN B. c

One of the principal problems faced by the administration of In dian Affairs in British Columbia is use of liquor. Colonel G. s. Prag- nell. inspector of Indian affairs fof the province. told the Ketchikaa Chronicle last week. Because the natives, when under the influence of liquor, are more excitable than whites. he defends the Canadian policy of denying them all liquor
 Enforcement of this is made diff ficult by American Indians, he said. because they as American citizens are able to buy liquor when in Can ada This complication causes end less confusion. the inspector as- serted. and the wisdom of American regulations is questioned by him Relief has also been something of a problem of late Those for tunately situated sometimes ask for relief when their neighbors receive it, and the attitude seems to be contagious, tearing down the desire To be self-supporung.
 Colonel Pragneu took passagr from Wrangeu on the Hazel B No. last week to confer with Harper Reed. Indian Agent for northern British Columbia, at Telegraph Creek. He will then go to the Skeena river district to estimate the cost of replacing the buildings destroyed by flood waters
