 Despite these strong and factual arguments by the Delegate, the item for extending the air mai service to the Westward defeated. It is excel lent example of how hard it is to sell the needs of Alaska to those the Outside. Primarily, of because of lack of population It is naturally diff ficult to impress Congressmen from thicky populated sections of the States with the needs of mere 60000 persons We must take that into consideration
 But the picture demonstrates forcefuy again that the great need of the Territory increased popua- tion and we must keep everlastingly at it. just as Delegate Dimond is doing, if we hope to bring people into the north and gain advantages for Alaska.

DUKE HOMES|CK,
CALL D|SCLOSES
BY CHARLES A. SMITH

News Servics)

LONDON, Sept. IA UN.S0.
The Duke of Windsor is yearning
for English faces and scenes and
his anxiety over possibility Of an
early visit home was the main
topic of a lengthy telephone talk
with his mother last night, it was
learned by International News
Service today.
During the conversation, the
Duke assured the Queen Mother
his married life was most happy.
HEALTH BETTER
He told of how his lengthy stay
in Central Europe far from the
cares and worries Of home had
benefited his health, but said ne
had missed his mother and other
members of his family greatly.
In particular, the Duke asked
about his young nephews and
nieceS.
Queen Mary, at present a guest
Of her daughter, the Countess of
Hardwood, at Hardwood House in
Yorkshire, supplied her son with
all the latest family news and Cos
sip and told him of the progress Of
the royal youngsters.
"BE PATIENT"
The Dukes mother expressed
the hope he was taking good care
Of himself in every way. Windsor
expressed some disappointment
over failure of the Duke and
Duchess of Kent to visit him, but
Queen Mary made him have pa
thence.
Perhaps most significant of all,
Queen Mary inquired kindly after
the Duchess of Windsor, the for.
mer Mrs. Wallis Warfield.
The Duke of Windsor tele
phoned his brother from the
Dunapolota Hotel in Budapest
where he and the duchess were
entertained at dinner by SiI
Godfrey Knox, British minister
to Hungary.

AS a member Of the Senate FL
nance Committee, who along with
the late Senator CouzenS (R0 Of
Michigan, was instrumental in the
boards creation in 1924, King said
he had been disappointed in the
manner which the boards judicial
power had grown"
INCREASED COST
Declaring that its activities had
increased the cost both to the tax
payer and the Government, he
disclosed that he was studying
proposals to curb the boards
powers.
I'm its 14-year history the
board has written IS or SO vol
umeS of opinion, and at the
present time has more than
10000 appeal cases pending"
King asserted.
You'd think it was the Su-
preme Court. That was never
the intention of Senator Cou-
zens and myself"
He said he would propose to
limit the board to bench" opin-
ions and if litigants said they did
not intend to appeal to the Circuit
Court of Appeals that there be
no record made Of the boards
opinion.

SMITH ASSAILS
COPELAND FOES
FOR HIGH TAXES
LaGuardia Is Labeled
Hippodrome Artist

NEW YORK, Sept. IA G.N.SJ.
Warned by a burst Of old-fash-
Toned oratory by former Governor
Alfred E. Smith, New York city'S
hectic three-cornered mayoralty
race moved down the home
stretch today with no punches
pulled and no holds barred.
Making his first political speech
since the presidential election last
fall. the famous wearer Of the
brown derby entered the arena in
behalf of U. S. Senator Royal s.
Copeland with colorful address
last night at the Academy Of Mu-
sic in Brooklyn.
ASSAILS MAYOR
Mincing no words in assailtng
Mayor F. H. LaGuardia, Smith
urged the voters to 60 to the polls
in the primary election Thursday
and nominate the "only ticket, the
one headed by Senator Copeland,
that will keep the Hippodrome
artist out of City Hail."
LaGuardia, elected as q Fusion
tie, is now running as Republi-
CAM jeremiah r. Mahoney, New
Deal Tammany man, is running as
Democrat. Copeland, also a Tam
many man, is seeking the nomina-
ton on both the Democratic and
Republican tickets.
AAETIcCc TTEADrDc
A delighted audience of 2,400
heard Smith make frequent use Of
such familiar phrases as well,
let's look at the record" and
that's a lot of baloney."
Dragging the National Admins
tration into the picture, Smith
coupled the rising cost of city gov
eminent with the increased cost
of Federal Government and de.
clared that this burden fell upon
the mass of the people.
Declaring that rising taxes
would not be met by the wealthy
and the princes of privilege" he
said:
IF you took every dollar that
every multi-millionaire has in
the country and put it in one
pool, the fact of the matter is
that it wouldn't pay the interest
on the national debt"
MAYOR SPEAKS
Earlier LaGuardia had told a
Republican gathering the issue
was whether the city shall con-
tinue with clean, Embossed govern
ment or go back to machine gov.
eminent. Under the machine
form of government the mayor is
merely a dummy Charlie NC
Carthy on Tammany'S knee"
Mahoney scored the present ad-
ministration for failure to effect
promised economies.
