Congress gave the final word OF au-
thority last week the architects had
beaten the gun by having their plans
almost IS per cent completed
When President Roosevelt puts his
signature on the joint bill, DR.. Thomp-
son will appear before Congress and
plead that the appropriation be used
at the Maryland site This is merely a
matter Of form, for it is generally
known that most of the members OF
both houses are for this medicai
center.
"A Fight That Must BE Won"
America has become cancer con-
eclous,' DR.. Thompson said YESTERDAY
"and it's a good thing. That is a
fight that must be won-and will be
won when the proposed cancer insti-
t1e is set up and operating"
If everything goes through, the
physician said, bids for construction
OF the three buildings needed to Sc. up
the cancer center will go on the
market about the last of Septem-
Der. The architects say that five
weeks later everything Will be in
readiness to start work.
The first three buildings to be erect
ed on plot of land already surveyed
for the project will take care Of the
medical center, to be used exclusively
for study in cancer causes. After
that the other buildings will be a
duplication of the National Institute
of Health, now at Twenty-ffth and
E streets. In these buildings will be
continued the hygiene and other
health studies now being carried on
by the Public Health Service.
Luke Wilson'S whole dream of life
uas to benefit manity-especiallv
IN the creation of a cancer CENTER
DR.. Thompson said.
Already, to back up that dream. the
Public Health Service has been pre-
sented by Congress with the sum total
OF sl,465,000 to carry on general
health work at Bethesda AS soon as
DR.. Thompson appears before Con-
gresS and gets the authorized $780,
600 for the building of the cancer
Institute. Bethesda will become one of
the greatest laboratory centers in the
world.
Site Can Be Enlarged.
II necessary, the site can be en-
iarged, for DR.. Thompson says Mr..
Wilson indicated before mis- death that
he would donate additional ground
and the Wilson family holds the same
interest at heart.
Details of the project have not yet
been fully worked out, but it is under
stood that most of the money ap-
propriated for upkeep of the proposed
institute would be spent for purchase
Of radium and opera ton of cancer re-
search. The bill provides also for the
loan Of radium to the States, where
there is scarcity.

PUBLIC WORKS

call your attention to the benefits which have been derived by municipalities States and Territories in pubic works construction through cooperation with the Public Works Administration by obtaining loans ana grants or grants only from the Administration
 At the present time the Public Works AdmlnlstTaton is making grants in the amount of 459 of the total cost projects and loans in the amount of 55fo ot the cost of the project with preference given to applications TOT grants only The Administration gives preference to grant projects only they favor projects which the Grantee is willing and able to furnish it's portion of the cost thereof in the amount of 55%d.
 It is my opinion that Alaska could profit considerably taking advantage ot Federal grants various lerr tora projects In the past the Territory has appropriated funds for portion of the cost of the Pioneers Home at Sitka and such procedure could be followed in the future other projects If it is opinion that the Territorial Treasury cannot spare cash for its portion of the cost it might provide funds for it's portion of applying to Congress for permission to issue bonds backed by the Territory which bonds would cover 5 of the cost of such projects might be nstigated The Public Works Administration has been lending such projects at AZ interest and it is opinion that Territorial bonds could be sold to the public the

Santander Falls to Franco

CPA1N'S thirteen-month-old civil
~ war drew one step nearer to a
close as Gen. Francisco Francois
army captured the city of Santan-
der, last important government out
post on the northern coast. AS the
insurgent troops filed in to occupy
the city, it was apparent that the re-
manning government army of $4,000
men was trapped in the hills south
east of the city in an area Is miles
square.
During the last of the twelve days
of Francois furious thrusts, the
city's streets had run red with the
blood of anarchists victims, as
thirst, hunger and terrorism crazed
the populace. By the thousands
civilians were fleeing by seattle
only way-to France. Every avail
able craft was put into service; hum
dreds even attempted a getaway in
rowboats, canoes, dories and other
small craft, some of them using i'm
provised sails made from sheets.

Trouble Ahead for Ford

John l.. LEWIS magic touch eff
- fected a compromise between
warning factions of the United Auto
mobile Workers of America suffi-
cient to permit the election of Off
GERS, but that failed to cover up the
fierce dissension in the c. I. o. af-
filiate's Milwaukee convention.
Several times only a fortunately
timed adjournment saved a days
meeting from breaking up in riot.
The clashes were between the ''pro-
gressive" faction of the union, head
ed by President Homer Martin, and
the unity" faction, containing most
of the cleft members, who OPP
posed Martins program. In the
end, the Lewis compromise forced
Martin to retain several unity group
officers he had apparently been anx-
ious to depose. New officers added
were, however, chiefly adherents of
Martin, and it was believed his fac
ton still held control of the execu-
tive board.
Of chief Importance in the conven-
ton was the decision to go ahead
with the campaign to organize the
employees of the Ford Motor COM
pany. A special tax of 81 per mem
Der, which would bring in net OF
something like 100000, was voted
for the purpose. Lewis predicted,

w opia Cor did he?) it was fire.
quently said that he would never be
able to control it, much less develop
it, for the Ethiopian tribes are wild
and terrible. Apparently he is now
coming to the same conclusion and
is about to turn for help to-of all
people!-the former emperor, Halle
Selassie.
It is known that the Italian gov
eminent has made certain overtures
to Great Britain to determine how
she feels about the "Conquering
Lion of Judah" ascending his throne
once more, but strictly as a puppet
for whom II Duce would pull the
strings. Britain is said to be willing
because Of the ever-present Italian
threat along her Mediterranean life
line.
France, too, has been approached
on the matter. Frenchmen own the
important railroad from Adds Aba
ba to Djibuti, but one of the prin-
cipal stockholders in the French cor
poration is Halle Selassie, and the
Italians refuse to recognize his hold
ings. 1t is believed that if the
French agree to the puppet mon
archy the validity of the emperor's
shares will not be questioned. Then
France will be able to buy them.
The fly in the ointment is that
Halle Selassie will have none of this.
He will rest his fate entirely with the
League of Nations, of which Ethiopia
is still member. Meanwhile the
continual raids by native tribesmen,
still faithful to their emperor, leave
no Italian life safe in the African
country, and are making II Duce's
colonization" a joke.

Planes Land Without Eyes

A T OAKLAND, CALF, civilian
"A and army fliers proved that air
transport planes can now be landed
under conditions which prevent the
pilot from gaining the slightest
glimpse of the ground. Using only
a radio beam for "eyes," pilots
made 100 perfect "blind' landings
at the airport there with Boeing
247-D plane, of the type now used on
several of the nations commercial
air lines.
The cockpit windows were COW
cred with metal screens to prevent
their sneaking so much as a peek
at the field. Many pilots flew the
ship and, although some of them
had never operated that type of
plane before, not a single landing
was made outside the 300-foot rum
way.
So successful were the tests, the
bureau of air commerce, army,
navy and commercial airlines rep
resentatives present agreed that the
system would be adopted for the
country as a whole. The system,
which makes it possible to bring a
ship safely to earth, even through
snow, rain, fog or dust, was called
by authorities the most dramatic
thing of it's kind since the first flight
of the Wright brothers.

Andrew w. Mellon Is Dead

A NDREW w. MELLON, reputed-
"A ly one of the four richest men
in the United States and secretary
of the treasury in three cabinets,
died of uremia and bronchial pneu-
monia at the home of his son-in-law
at Southampton, N. Y. He was
eighty-two years old.
Shortly before his death he had
fulfilled the ambition of his life by
giving to the nation what he termed
the nucleus" of one of the finest art
collections in the world. The col
lection he gave was valued at $780,
100000. Excavation is now under
way for a $15,O00,000 building to
house the collection in Washington.
All but $4,000 of the great Mel
lon fortune was willed to the A. w.
Mellon educational and charitable
trust. The statement of the attor-
ney who announced the terms of the
will said: "The deed creating this
trust provides that its funds shall be
applied exclusively to religious,
charitable and educational uses and
purposes. 1t already has distribut-
ed millions of dollars during its ex-
istence." The $4,000 went to sec
retaries and employees. Melons
two children received no requests.
The will explained they had already
been adequately provided for.

peared ready to turn the tide Of
ground battle in the undeclared war
in China, while their navy threw a
blockade around 800 miles of the
Chinese seacoast from Shanghai
nearly to Canton, in South China.
Only at terrific cost were the re-
Inducements getting ashore. Many
entire landing parties were blown to
bits as they attempted to take shore
positions under a blaze of machine
gun fire and in the face of artillery
shells and land mine explosions.
More than a quarter of a million
men were reported engaged in the
fighting along a front stretching
from Shanghai northwestward to
Tientsin, Peiping, Nankow and
Changed, deep in Chahar province
and north to the Great Wall.
At the northern end of the front
the pro-Japanese Mongol troops of
Prince Teh battled combined Chi
nese regular and communist
armies. Japanese reported the cap
ture of Kalgan, capital of Chahar,
shutting off Chinese communication
with Mongolia, while the routed Chi
nese forces broke through the stub
born Chinese defenses at Nankow
pass and penetrated the Great Wall.
They were reported to have sue
ceeed in escaping narrowly stra-
tegic Chinese maneuver which
would have trapped 10000 japanese
troops south and west of Peiping.
Chinese positions south of Peiping
were dominated by the we'll
equipped, well-trained, and mech
anized Japanese army, which cap
tured the commanding high land.

The greatest picture of the year,
perhaps of many years, has re-
ceived chorus of critical acclaim
such as has never been heard be-
fore. 1t is "The Life of Emile lola"
with Paul MUM. AS crusader for
the oppressed, as the most elo-
quent and forceful man of his time,
Paul Mum gives an inspired per-
Torrance. Don't let the praise Of
this picture drive you away from it
with faint suspicion that it may be
educational, but dull. 1t offers the
most exciting and thrilling evening
you could spend in theater.
With radios summer lull over
soon dozens of big programs will be
angling for your attention. Irene
Wicker, the greatly-beloved singing
lady, moves to the Mutual network
early in October offering a series OF
original sketches with music. Jack
Benny returns to the air at the same
time.
Margaret TaIlichet, who aban-
doned a newspaper job in Texas to
break into the movies, has found
that even after a career is well
started, it still has as many downs
as ups. You may recall that she
appealed to CarOle Lombard for
help and through her got small
contract with Selznick-InternatiOn-
al. Well, Miss Tallichet played
small roles in "a Star Is Born" and
then the studio decided to gamble
on her to the extent of sending her
east to dramatic school for further
training. She appeared at the Mt.
Kisco theater opposite no less a per-
sonage than Henry Fonda and
proved cOnclusively that she needs
a lot more training before she can
play big roles.
