 WASHINGTON, July 31.-Special Correspondence) = Alaska enthusl- asts who have been using the figure generally recognized as the amount of the purchase price paid for the Territory of Alaska when it was purchased from Russia in 1867 namely, $7,200,000 as base from which to show the value of the Ter ritory through pointing out how many times over Alaska has paid for itself in its production from fish, cries, minerals, furs, and other re- sources, were apparently ultra con- servative in their statements if the report of bit of history chron- icled by Hon. Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior during the Wilson administrations, is ac- curate. In fact, it appears that the values shown by such comparisons could properly be multiplied by four and be approximately accurate.
 The error seems to have occurred in accepting the amount of $7,200,- 900 as the purchase price paid for Alaska, the price noted in history books, while the evidence now at hand indicates the price was actu- ally $l,400,0 ,000-the balance of the money transferred to Russia by the check apparently being the settle

lBy Associated Pressl

Emperor Hirohito today showed extreme concern over Chinese de- velopments, including the staying of two Navy men.

White House Spokesman
 Ciuen Another BIO,u to
 Ja,u: President to Talk
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Presi- dent Roosevelt has buried a ghost that almost walked again the White House spokesman"
 It doesn't matter much outside of Washington but when things go wrong at White House press con- ferences, it jangles lot of repor- torial nerves. And something went wrong the day after the Senate formally knocked down the Supreme Court bill
 The usual hundred or so cores pondents entered the executive of flee in the usual bleacher rush, exchanged the usual gossipy bandi- mage with the President, and as us- ual got down to hard cases. What was the Presidents view on the court issue?
 Let this be just background. , said the President. Now that is usually the prelude to an informa- tive interchange in which the Pres ident rounds up backgrounds fac- tors which the reporters may write on their own responsibility without directly quoting him.
 BACKGROUND RULE
 But the President, instead of talk ing incidentals, abruptly launched into a sort of extemporaneou fire side chat. In spite of the defeat of the court bill, he said, much good had been accomplished. The Su- preme Court had reversed itself on several important issues, adopting new blood" views, if not new mem- bers. The country had been made court conscious and constitution minded. Moreover, he said, the ob- jectives he sought to obtain through an enlarged court were still his ob- jectives and he would still strive for them.
 But the statements were all made under the background" rule never before imposed by President Roose- welt when really expressing his own views or giving other news Was the old White House spokesman" used by President Coolidge to be re- vived?
 It will be remembered that when President Coolidge came into office he declined to be quoted directly in press conference interviews. Ques- tions had to be submitted hours in advance, and he would answer only those he chose. Moreover, report CTS could not say the President de- clined to comment on such and such a question. Unanswered questions just had to be forgotten.
 To cap it off. the reporters could not write that President Coolidge said today" They had to write that "a White House spokesman said-.'
 With few notifications, Presi- dent Hoover followed the same pro-
