FOR HAWAIIAN ISLES
 IS NOW SOUGHT
Delegate Wants 25 Con gressional Members to
 Visit Theer in Fall

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Resi- dents of the Hawaiian Islands want 25 Congressional members to visit their Territory in the coming fall to determine its fitness for state- hood.
 Delegate Samuel King asked the House yesterday to authorize an inspection trip and expressed the certainty that it would be approved.
 We are better prepared for state- hood than many of the states when they gained the distinction" said Delegate King. We want state hood for the most progressive com munities on the globe. Our four hundred thousand population is greater than Vermont, Wyoming, Delaware and Nevada. We pay more to support the Federal Government than any one of seventeen states. The people have been intensely loyal since we voluntarily annexed to the United States in 1898."
 Some legislators are opposed to adding a 18th star unless on the North American mainland

Bandits Set Building Afire
 In One Part of To,un, Then
 Rob Bank in Another Section

JOHN DAY, Oregon, July l3.-A gang of armed men robbed the Grant County Bank of an un- determined amount last night. They slugged the assistant cashier, wounded another man and then wrecked their automobile in mak- ing their escape.
 Most of the townspeople were out fighting the flames or watch ing a burning building in another part of the community. The fire is believed to have been set by the robbers to distract attention.
 An unconfirmed report is that the robber gang forced Oscar How erson to go with them to the bank, enter rear door and open the vault.
 Hoverson was found lying on the sidewalk in front of the bank, bad ly beaten about the head, and un- conscious. He is in serious con dition in hospital and unable to give clear version of the holdup.

 The speech by Senator O'Ma- honey opened the second week of the debate over the proposal to change the judicial set-up of the Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON. July 13.-Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond has asked Congress to authorize public utility districts in Alaska and in- cur bonded indebtedness but that it be limited to 10 percent of the aggregate value of real and person al property within the district. The public utility would be subject to taxation, under his proposal, and a 65 percent favorable vote would be required to authorize bond issue.
 The legislation primarily is de- signed to aid the Seldovia district.

OMAHA, Neb., July 13.--Law en- forcement officers who testify in criminal cases should never wear jewelry or lodge emblems, says Hen- ry Beal., for 16 years Douglas Coun- ty, Nebraska, attorney.
 We once lost a case here be- cause a policeman wore two-carat diamond ring" says Beal.
 "The jurors didn't listen to his testimony. They were wondering where he got the ring"
 One almost certain way to secure conviction, Beal adds, lis to let it get around that the defendant is friend of the sheriff-then the jury is certain to vote guilty"

CONCRESSMEN KICK IN VAIN
 ON i SUBJECT
Small Fry Protest at Not Being Able to See
 President Often
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, July 13.-One of the sources of disaffection between Congress and the White House was not solved at the Jefferson Island conference and, in fact, gives no immediate prospect of solution.
 It is the difficulty members of Congress more particularly the small fry-have in getting an occas- ional conference with the President.
 The President is busy man. He said recently in press conference that his work often lasted from be- fore breakfast until well after mid night. So he cannot grant every request to see him.
 DOUBLE TROUBLE
 Every Executive has the problem. Youngish Robert M. Hutchins solved one phase of it quickly after he took over the Presidency of the Uniyer- sity of Chicago. He let it be known that an immediate conference and tea with all members of the faculty was obviously a vast waste of time. So he cancelled this old custom. Tom Girdler, chairman of the board of Republic Steel Corporation solved it another way. He told a Senate committee that he was will ing to see any of his men any time about their troubles. Since he has only about 50.O0o employees, that situation presented such funny as- pect that even somewhat bored Sen ators laughed. The employees ob- viously never presume to have a right to see him.
 Congressional trouble seems to be a combination of the two. The Congressmen presume to have a Continued on Page Three)

Delegate Dimond Presents Aids to Flying in AL

By J. J. ECKLEs
ecretary to Delegate Dimond

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Spec- ial Correspondence) Included among the 19 resolutions endorsed by the Northwest Aviation Plan ming Council at the conference at Boise, Idaho, concluded on June 19, were three with the particular purpose of relieving the problems retarding aviation in Alaska and otherwise helping flying in the Ter ritory to progress.
 Delegate Dimond returned to Washington by air on June 21 from the conference. where he was in charge of the Alaska part of the program and supported the request for additional flying facilities in the Territory. In line with resolu- tions endorsed the Northwest Avia- tion Planning Council will work for the establishment of air-mail service between Alaska and some suitable terminal within the North west. The Council is also pledged to work through Congress for im- mediate action on the part of the Feedral Government in the devel- opment and early completion of adequate airports and air naviga- tion facilities in Alaska.
 Establishment of the Territorial Planning Board was given special recognition by the Cuncil, and ac- cording to the Delegate it appears likely that the support of the Council will prove valuable to the Planning Board in securing the execution of it's plans and recom- mendations relating to aviation.
