M MATANUSKA
 GETS Q. K. OF
 '0LD' ALASKAN
Seattle Times

Frank J. Cotter, newspaper man and "dyed-in-the- wool" Alaskan, leaned back in his chair at The Alaska Weekly office yesterday and rattled the "bingles" of the Matan- uska Colony in his pockets.
 The "bingles" are the money used by the colonies of the government trading post
 Then MT Cotter produced the shining coins which will purchase S5 worth of supplies at the trading post, sfO or s25 worth, or even five cents worth. He spread them on the table while he talked of the cQntentment he found in the col ony during the two weeks he spent there last summer while engaged in a, placer mining venture.
 aef4 Workers Paying Ott Debt
 I'm not saying MT. Cotter de- Sared, that 100 per cent of the dolonists are completely satisfied, but at least 50 per cent wouldn't t leero Matanuska on a bet.
 Those that will work are paying off tner aebt in fast order with their spring chickens, berries, fruit, vegetables and live stock. But there are a few who feel that if they stay up there much longer they'll lose their right to be on the dole down here. They're the ones wbn could mt make good anywhere.
 MT. Cotter told of a young house wife who was very proud of her orchid-enameled kitchen stove, her new rugs and curtains.
 One Wite's Choice
 Even if my husband wants to go back to the States, I'm staying" ," she told MT. Cotrer. You can al- ways get another husband. but you can't get things like this. Why, at home I did my washing on an old wash board and. just look at the washing machine I have here"
 MT. Cotter exhibited snapshots he had taken of the first bale of hay coming from the Matanuska Colony, the fine roads, and smiling men and women standing in front of wellbuilt cottages.
 Tt seems a shame" he mourned, that all the people who are up there aren't as fine as the stock that is brought in. The govern ment wouldn't have any trouble at all then"

Children Sometimes Win at
 Hollywood No < Ledger on Failures
By RoBBIN CooNs

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 19-It's the newest version of an old movie story and it's heroine is Charlene Wyatt, this time.
 Charlene is four, and she's from Tulsa, Okla, where her father drove break truck and her moth CT operated a little grocery store to raise the money to come to Hollywood.
 Mother and daughter arrived a year ago, but Ray Wyatt kept on driving his truck and sent what money he could. Charlene went to dancing school, even when the Hol- lywood treasury ran dry, because the dancing teacher thought she would make good some day and could pay then. And Ray Wyatt found a job, on a bread truck in Los Angeles.
 Many Travel the Path
 One evening after work he put Charlene in the truck and hurried ever to the studio to let her try for the little girls role in Valiant Is the Word for Carrie" Charlene got it, and now has a regular con- tract.
 A few years aA it was Cora Sue Collins, whose mother brought her from Beckley, w. Va, to see about work in pictures. They had hard times at first while Mrs. Collins peddled silk hosiery from door to door but-Cora Sue got in.

 You can write it again. with slight changes, for David Holt David was a talented home town youngster in Jacksonville, Fla, and he danced and sang the time the late Will Rogers came to town Rogers thought Hollywood would not be a bad idea--and they came, the whole little family in an aged automobile and wobbly trailer. There was the usual struggle but David made good, and his little sister Betty "got it" too.
 No Ledger for Failures
 Virginia Weidler was different, entirely. because she was born in Hollywood. Virginia made it.
 And Shirley Temple, a native, too, didn't have to travel on or starve. With her father working in bank, her mother could afford those dancing school lessons that led into pictures.
 But there's another-and much more common-ending to the old familiar story. It's the ending that is never written because Hollywood has no ledger to record its failures.

THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
By CONG. JOHN PAUL KvALE

Washington, for the second success
sive week, provides little news of in
terest, unless it be the development
in the tax bill that nears emergence
from the House Ways and Means COM
mittee. True, the Senate has con-
tinued its hearing as a court of i'm
parchment of Judge Ritter of Florida,
but it has been neither sensational
nor eventful to date, as far as find
ings or evidence of convincing nature
are concerned. The President yes
terday reached Washington again aft
er his vacation trip into southern
waters, and that is expected to whip
up the pace of the legislative and
official city.
But the House. among other matters
of lesser nature that it disposed Of
during the week, managed to do one
important job when it passed the bill
providing for a rural identification
program amounting to almost half
billion of dollars, designed over a
ten-year period to finance not only the
plants, but the actual installation of
the equipment itself to the consum-
ers. 1t is hoped that over a million
farm homes will be supplied with
electric current as a result Of the
bill. The hopes may be little high,
but it certainly appears that many
farm wives now, as the result of this
action, have promise of electricity not
only to light and cook. but also to

give the current that will ease other
drudgeries of housekeeping and nor
NAL living.
The bill, which has passed the Sen
ate, was not in identical form, and
therefore needs to go to conference.
But, inasmuch as the President him
self has given it warm backing, it is
expected to emerge without substan-
tial change, and to go to the White
House for certain approval. Only one
objection of note was raised, and that
was when a member suggested that
the provision for loans and credits
to the private corporations meant that
private utilities would receive major
benefits from the provisions of the
bill in the shape Of subsidies in con-
nectiOn with rural extension of lines
and electrical equipment. That was
Overridden, however, and the bill now
goes to conference.
Another bill in conference which
may not be Of particular concern to
Minnesotans but which nevertheless
has acute interest in many states is
the emergency loan bill for areas
which had suffered from floods. 1t is
intended to permit themselves to re-
habilitate through loans from the Re-
construction Finance corporation so
that damages may be repaired and
normal conditions restored, but at
this writing there is no easy going
for the bill. for the conference will
be stormy and the report it returns
to the two bodies, if an agreement is
reached, will also be warmly debated.
Other than these. proceedings in
the House and Senate can hardly pro-
woke comment. There has been plenty
of the usual committee activity. In

51ST FATALITY
OF YEAR IS
RECORDED
Speeding on Crowded
Streets Blamed
in Accidents

Speeding, loss Of control by
drivers and other motoring errors
caused the death Of one person
and injuries to 80 others in traffic
accidents in and near washington
during the last "a hours.
Crowded thoroughfares in the
Capital and nearby Maryland and
Virginia fostered inpatience
among drivers, police said, with
the result that first-aid facilities
of hospitals were taxed and the
fifty-first traffic victim of the
year was officially recorded.
Mrs. jessie Schildt, of Belts
vile, Md, and her daughter, Vir-
ginia, were injured yesterday
when a car in yhich they were

Thirty years in one fire com,

Green, retired, of the District Fire

he retired in 1880, rising through
all the grades to become company
commander.
On his breast he wears the blue
ribbon awarded for exceptional
heroism during the Knickerbocker
disaster. But that IVES not the
only time he was cited for bravery
during his long career.
But the Strangest situation he
ever found himself in was during
the Pillsbury Flour plant fire, he
recalls. The water from the
hoses turned the flour into sticky
dough which soon covered rubber
boots and coats, and the heat from
the terrific blaze baked the dough,

PUGH PUTS BAN
0NPIN-BALLS

Pen-bau machines that pay off
IN slugs and coins were banned
in Montgomery county, Maryland,
today by States Attorney James
H. Pugh.
Mr.. Pugh declared today that he
had declared open war against
this type Of amusement within the
county, and had ordered members
of the Montgomery county police
department to warn operators.
The type of machines that drew
the fire of the States attorneys
office are those that pay coins or
ElugS when certain score is
reached. Shortly after taking Of
flee two years ago Mr.. Pugh
banned the use of machines that
permitted the proprietors of busi-
ness houses to pay cash or mer-
chandiSe to winners. The new type
Of machines was devised to get
around the original ruling, Mr..
Pugh declared.
During the original drive all
slot machines and many pinball
games were confiScated by the po-
lice, and it also halted the opera
tion of bingo and other games of
chance at carniValS.
The volunteer fire departments
OF the county protested that since
they depended greatly on funds
raised through charity carnivaIs to
pay a part of their operating ex-
penses, the banning of games of
chance at affairs of this kind
greatly reduced their revenue. An
act passed by the last session of
the State Legislature legalized this
form of amusement at carnivaIs
held under such auspices.
