BONE TAKES UP
 CUDCEL BEHALF
 ALASKA FISHING
Senator Asks that Posi- tive" Policy Be Adopted
 on Japanese Question

WASHINGTON, June 5.--Sena- tor Homer T. Bone of Washington state today appealed to Congress to take a positive" stand against invasion of traditional American fishing grounds by Japanese. He wrote to Senator Key Pittman, chairman of the foreign relations committee, urging that the commit- tee approve resolution now before it which would state as the policy of the United States Senate that special rights of the United States in salmon fisheries in Alaska terri torial waters should be upheld by the Department of State" Senator Bone asserted the reso- lution would strengthen the hands of the State Department" and then added:
 Prom my study it is my belief that positive declaration by the United States would help insure peace between the two nations since failure of the government to pro- tect it's citizens in their right to earn a living might result in their efforts to protect themselves in ways that might embarrass the UnIled States.
 If Japan is to be permitted to invade Alaskan waters to take sal mon. that country must also be per- mitted to take other kinds of fish available either in Alaskan waters or elsewhere along the coast of the United States. Once they gain a foothold and their rights are recog- nized, either by silent assent or by lack of positive policy. they will pro- ceed to take over the fisheries on the entire Pacific Coast"
 Bone said Secretary of State Cor dell Hull apparently was taking no positive action at this time. Refer ring to Hull's recent statement, the Senator said: Hull has not satis- fled the Pacific Coast by his res ponse"

against the inadequacy of the

Since that time this airport
has been frowned on because of

round it. Electric wires and
Military Road, which now cuts
right through the airport, have
been repeatedly cited as being
extremely dangerous. On the

have been urged by members of
congress on numerous occasions
and this site has always been
well up on the list of those under
consideration.
The other site most likely to
be chosen is Gravelly Point. 1t
has been indicated by several
members of Congress interested in
this problem that Gravelly Points
planned development gives it the
edge on other suggested areas.
In making its survey this sum-

tigation into the matter several

Lewis was elected to this position

It is a tribute to Senator Lewis

extremely jealous of their peroga-

LABOR FIGHT
CLOUD OVER
CONGRESS
By FRANKLIN G. sARTwELL

BY FRANKLIN G. SARTWELL
Like q sinister cloud ready to
open and emit a deluge at any mo-
ment, the complicated labor situa-
ton hung over Congress today as
it prepared to assemble and hear
President Roosevelt's message on
the state of the Union.
Members continued to talk about
their pet legislative measures and
of prospects for accomplishing
social progress under the law, but
behind all the talk was an ap-
parent uneasineSS over the Situa-
ton which has developed in the
automobile industry and which
threatens other trades.
The much discussed "era Of
good feeling" which was to have
been ushered in with the inaugura-
tion of Mr.. RooSevelt's second
administration, and hopes of con-
tinuing the economic recovery
which the country has been en-
joying in recent months, are felt
by many members of both House
and Senate to hang in the balance
of an early settlement Of the in
dustrial disputes now raging.
Lewis in Background
The automobile industry, direct
sufferer from the present strike,
behind which looms the figure Of
John L. Lewis, buttressed by his
Committee on Industrial Organ
ization, has prided itself on being
in the forefront of the ranks
marching the country back to
prosperity.
If the industry's plants, or
even a large part Of them, are
to be shut down now (and it
seems that that is inevitable)
this leader of the prosperity pa
rade must drop back. And when
the automobile industry retires
many other industries furnishing
supplies to that business also
must curtail or stop production.
In the face of this practical
situation, members of Congress
wonder what becomes of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's dictum that
something must be done in re-
gard to shorter hours, larger pay
and child labor.
Congress Puzzled
Is the Presidents word to be
followed or is the more belliger-
ent dictate of John L. Lewis, one
of his foremost supporters to hold
sway?
Congressman admittedly don't
know the score of the labor con-
troversy.
They don't know where Mr..
Lewis stands in connection with
the White House today, although
they know that he was "aces
high" during the campaign.
They wonder where William
B. Green, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor stands and what
he is doing in connection with
the Lewis offshoot of the fedora
tion.
And they wonder more than
anything else what is going to
develop if the second Roosevelt
administration, probably the
greatest friend of the working
man ever to come to power, en-
ters upon its activities with labor
throwing industry into fits,

conditions, recreation and environ
ment also should be given careful
planning.
In concluding, Mrs. Roosevelt
said she would like to see people
think of the life of the child as a
whole and attempt to make COM
munities realize that where people
live under Slum conditions it is a
menace to the entire community.
Preceding Mrs. Roosevelt, Secre-
tary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper
stated it was his understanding
that more than $4,000 Negro
youths have been assisted in thels'
educational pursuits. vocational
training and work opportunities
by the National Youth AdminiStra-
ton.

HINTS CLASH
INC0NGRESS
By EARL GOODWIN

Sharpest clash between the Presi-
dent and Congress may be his pre-
sumed suggestion that the Control
ler General - nightmare of the
Government official-be made to
report to Congress through Cabi-
net officer instead of direct to Con-
greSS.
Officials who say they can read
the presidential mind say that's
what's going to be recommended
to Congress.
Members of Congress who have
been apprised of this clairvoyance
say it's just like trying to take a
favorite child from one of the
neighborS.
McCarI Last Resort
Congress, Is years ago, created
the office of Controller General,
made him report to Congress;
made him independent of all de-
partmental and political influence,
and told him to see to it that the
public money was spent at least IN
accordance with the law.
Then for IS years John McCarl
drummed that idea into every opin-
ion he wrote. When General Nc
Carl turned down an expense &C
count there was no place else to
go. A Cabinet officer might cry
on the Presidents shoulder, but
all that happened was that the
Presidents shoulder got wet. No
money came back. From a five
cent nickel dropped into a coin
box telephone without a receipt,
all the way to a hundred million
dollars for nationwide forest
General McCarI slashed expenses
right and left-and nobody blamed
him except the official who OK'd
the expense.
Explosion in Making
Today the President is about
ready to send to Congress his
eagerly awaited report on the re-
organization of the Government.
That report is expected to go to
Congress on January IL with a full
recommendation as to how to put
1870 independent offices and com
missions all under the Cabinet,
with possibly one or more new
Cabinet officers to be created as
heads of new departments.
If it is true that the President
wants to route the Comptroller
General through some department
head-w tch the independent
economy crowd in Congress. 1t is
expected there will be an explo-
sion, as Congress looks on the
General Accounting Office as
their baby" and sees no reason
to farm it out.
Saving Questioned
Meantime, there are evidences
that some of the Administration
officials have been planting the
seeds of discomfort. One official,
who is known to have the official
ear of the New Deal, made this
statement:
"Why, McCarl gives the i'm.
preston that he has saved a lot
of money. Now and then he
has chiSeIed off a nickel from
somebody's lunch money, but
these big pots of money the
public thinks he has saved
why, the departments have gone

from the State of Washington.
After serving in the Spanish-Amer-
ican War he settled in Chicago
and in 1913 was elected to his
first Senate term.
Foreign affairs have been his
primary interest and while acting
as special representative for his
country on several foreign mis-
sions he has received a number of
decorations from countries he
visited. He is a widely educated
statesman and holds perhaps more
degrees than any of his colleagues.
