JOBLESS CENSUS SUPPORT URGED BY GOV. GRIFFIN
Acting Executive Appeals to Alaska to Aid in
 Government Move

Urging support of the voluntary unemployment census to be taken November Is and IT, Acting Gov Edward W. Griffin today made the following appeal to residents of AL aska in letter addressed to various Mayors, Postmasters and other of ficials throughout the Territory:
 T am taking the liberty of writ ing you to solicit your cooperation in the forthcoming Census of Un- employment and Partial Unemploy- ment which Congress has decreed.
 AS you know, this census which is calculated to give a quick and adequate picture of unemployment conditions in the United States, will be conducted through the facilities of the Post Office Department by the distribution of blanks to all of the 31,000000 American homes on November 16 and IT. The unem- ployed and partly unemployed are being asked to fill out those blanks and return them to their local Post masters by midnight of November 20, after which the Post Office rep resentatives will conduct further checks so as to eliminate duplica- ] ton.
 'In view of the fact that it is necessary, in order to avoid the Christmas rush in post offices, to have this census out of the way by December 1, we have been forced to appeal directly to the cities, in telegrams and letters directed to Mayors, asking the appointment of citizens committees to cooperate with the local Postmasters, parti- cularly in obtaining wide publicity in connection with the canvass and in the dissemination of information as to plans and purposes. T am sure you will agree that unemployment is one of our major national problems A full knowledge of the extent of unemployment; it's geographical concentra tion; it's clas- sification by age groups; the quail
  trades most effected, is essential before the nation can undertake a | comprehensive corrective plan.
 "A great many people have had | honest differences as to the best method of taking this census. Many have favored an enumerative cen sus; and some have called for com i pulsory registration. But Congress, in authorizing this census has de- 1 creed that it shall be voluntary, and ! the President has outlined the plan "a plan which can succeed if the i cooperative spirit of all of our peo- i pie can be enlisted That is why I | am appealing for your moral lead | ership in your city to arouse the in- terest of your citizens to the im- portance of complete response and | to an appreciation of the value of the results to be obtained.
 q believe America does best that | which it has the spirit to do of its own volition. That is why I am con- fident that voluntary enrolment of the unemployed will succeed if i our responsible leaders unite in ap- pealing to the patriotism of our peo- pie.
 T would great appreciate your fullest cooperation and I hope you will feel free to offer any sugges- tions that would contribute to the success of the enterprise"

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Oct 26. = The bungalow of the Ritz Brothers where I interviewed all three of them is right next to the fence on the Twentieth Century-Fox lot, away from the rest of the stars. This is because these madcaps make so much noise that if they were closer, they would distract the rest of the actors.
 Al Ritz is the oldest and he came in ahead of h>; brothers, Jimmy and Harry, and acted as spokesman. My first question was to ask if they are really brothers; for in Holly wood I have found that brothers on the screen do not have to be real brothers, just as many of the names used by the stars are not their real names
 Yes, They're Brothers
 He told me they really are bro therS. I then wanted to know how they started their brother act, and he explained he was in vaude- vile on his own while the two younger brothers were still in school and, when they finished their stu dies, they joined him and they had been the Ritz Brothers ever since.
 Al told me they got their idea of wearing straw hats and wide white pants from comic strip.
 Harry Ritz is the brother who does the specialties Any one who has seen the Ritz Brothers in pictures will remember one of them always does a speciality of some kind That is Harry
 As they were dressing in foot ball suits, I asked Harry if they were crazy off the screen as well as on. He said casually, Just on the screen, and then, seeming to come to life, he turned viciously and yelled, Want to make some thing of it?" loud enough to be heard by their neighbors, even if they are far away.
 I Can Take a Joke
 Of course I said I did not want to make anything of it and was a little alarmed-until he laughed, and I realized this was just another gag of these wild brothers. After being with them a while I became accustomed to their queer antics and was not alarmed even when they made faces at me in a body
 In another room of their bunga- low a friend of the brothers was pounding a piano, and singing in Spanish, I think. Anyway it was a foreign tongue and very loud.

year-old recluse of the old Herald

declining health, would frequently hop
to window and shrilly demand that
a policeman be called-'Democratic or
Republican. don't care which, be-
cause they're all the same"
Then 1t was necessary to quiet her.
Miss 1sabelle Johnstone, one of the
three nurses who attended her before
her death in 1882. testified yesterday.
They would assure her, Miss Johnstone
said, that her money-about $S77, 500
was safe. The money gave her .

HUNGARY SPURS
WAR DEBT HOPES
Proposal to Pay Portion of
Arrears Indicative of
Reviving Trade.

Proposal of the Hungarian govern
ment to resume payment of part OF it,
postwar debt on . three-year basis
spurred hopes here today that other
defaulting governments may soon as
sumo again their obligations in war
and postwar loans
The total owed by the 1s debtor
countries now amounts to more than
$l2,500, ,000, 900, Of which $11,433, ,s2e,-
400 Is principal, the balance unpaid
interest.
Seventeen Of these governments
all but Finland, which has continued
to meet its semi-annual installments-
are in default. Three have not even
funded their debts. Funding agree
ments were concluded with IS between
1922 and 1928.
Hull Halls Hungary's Step.
Secretary Hull hailed as a "hearten-
Ing sign" the decision by Hungary to
begin repaying its postwar debt. He
commented with evident pleasure that
Hungary recognizes the Importance OF
conserving the sanctity" of obliga-
ttons between nations.
Hungary, owes $2,292 ,025 for flour
sent it during = 1920 famine. She
proposes to pay the United States
during the next three years the total
OF $19,656.32 in six semi-annual in
stallments OF $9,828.16. This amounts
to less than one-fourth Of the amounts
due under the moratorium agreement
OF May 27, 1882. Hungary's debt was
funded April IS, 1924.
Reviving world trade, coupled with
Amelioration OF Hungarian finances
assisted by an American adviser to
the National Bank Of Hungary-Royal
Tyler-is credited with enabling the
Budapest government to modify its
transfer moratorium 20 a. to permit
payment Of 4 portion Of the arrears to
the United States.
Trade Revival Is Great.

partment Of Commerce and the
League Of Nations tell of intensified

many. Austria and Italy. Further
more, exports to the United States
itself, which will furnish q good por-
tion Of the exchange used to meet
semi-annual payments until 1910,
have shown notable increases.
The offer to resume war debt pay
ments Is part Of the Hungarian gov
ernment's liquidation Of the transfer
moratorium, which has included liber-
alization of service on the reconstruc-
ton loan Of 1924 and . number of
municipal and corporate bond issues.
The moratorium on service Of foreign
debts was declared on December is,

Emphasis is laid on the fact that
Hungarian debt payments are being
made on account and involve no con-
tractual obligations upon the part Of
