Current Comments Written From
 Washington

Congress moves on slowly with it's everyday grind. That does not mean, however, that it is occupy ing its time with the location of new lamp posts and matters that would keep city council busy The congressional output is of large proportions. A billion and a half for relief, approved recently by the Senate, is a good example of the fact that Congress is con- cerned with big things, even tho no great amount of fuss is made about it. Some battleships will be built too, but they may be pass ed almost without remark, since on,y forty million dollars or so apiece is involved. In Committee there is an investigation, the broadly stated object of which is to straighten out the tangle in which the C. l. O. and its oppos- CTS are involved. AS 10 details, there are interference with the mails, martial law, alleged thug work and dozens of other points to be considered, with a little pol itics intermingled, to lend compli cations. Congress sometimes mov- es slowly, an d it is to be hoped that before the strike investiga- tion is concluded in Washington, the strikers and their employers will find a way out, of their own making. This might be good place to say something about the din- ner pail, which used to be sym bol of industrial peace, but chang ing times have made the dinner pail lamost as much of a mus cum piece as a candle stick.

MT. Mussolini cast Q troubled eye over the peninsular homeland and is concerned about the declin ing birth rate, matter which at tracts attention and gives rise to comment wherever noted. It is said that the condition should be remedied for the glory of the Fascist state. That glory has dis covered expression in some acts that 10 the world beyond the boundaries of Italy seem to em- body few of the clements which most persons think appeTtain to glory, for example the grabbing of Ethiopia. Napolean Bonaparte is credited with the remark that a child could stop a bullet as well as a man. When the Duce make it clear that he disapproves heartily of Napoleanic marches of conquest, his desire for an in- crease in the population will be looked upon as arising out of the anxiety of sincere and benign statesman.

NOTES ON THE FAIR

Mrs. McLain, Superintendent of Division "J', Antiques, Curios, and Relics for the Northwestern Alaska Fair and Midsummer Fes- tival, August l9, 20, and 2l is issuing an appeal today to ex- hibitors whom she has not yet seen to send in their exhibits. This is the first attempt in sev- eral years to make such coll ection and the effort should be encouraged.
 Mrs. McLain says:
 "Oldtimers - looks through trunks and attics for photographs, books, pictures and newspapers of early Nome days, recalling happy memories for yourself and creating an interest for late corners that no amount of conver- sation can cover. Your explana- tion of each item should accom- pany each article making a last ing impression on observers.
 "Pioneers-there's an appeal to you to look up old souvenirs and mementos and bring out facts about pioneering in Alaska, the you have adopted for your own.
 Seward Peninsularites- early pictures and articles of interest from your sections will keep us mindful of the part you have played in shaping and making this part of Alaska. Your geo. graphical existence and signif- canoe is brought closer to nome and Nome.
 "To the Natives of Seward Pen insula and Curio and Relic Hunt erS-the creation of this booth really lies in the objects that you possess. Your primitive imple- ments and old ivory offer edu- cational value, to our youth, na- tive and white, and lend histori- cal background to our country.
 Through the medium of the Nome Fair your objects of curio- sity are brought before the eyes of the many"
 All exhibitors are asked to have their display plainly labeled and marked. Where the article or the event it represents is unusual a brief explanation should accom- pany the entry.

In the thirty-fourth heavy weight championship bout in 50 years, Joe Louis laid out James J. Braddock for the full count. During the half century, the title has changed hands eleven times. A game and courageous fighter, Braddock could not out-boX both opponent and the thirty-two years that stood to his disadvantage in the vital statistics. Eight rounds did the business. The spectators did not get as much for their mon ey as those who saw John L. Sul- livan beat Jack Kilrain in seven ty-five rounds in 1889 in the last bare knuckle championship en- counter. The oldtimers are in- clined to think that "there were giants in those days, and won der what either Sullivan or Kil- rain would have done to Louis or Braddock.
