 o. S. Sullivan, deputy internal re- venue collector for Alaska, is in Fairbanks to see that every indiYii- ual and firm subject to the Social Security tax makes prompt payment of the sums due under the law.
 All methodicaI and businesslike concerns and individuals are making their monthly payments as prescrib- ed in the act, But there always is a percentage who are negligent, thoughtless or who Willfully try to eVade the law. MT. Sullivan makes it plain that there are plenty ot teeth in the law, and that those who fail to comply are in for a lot of grief.
 Recent decisions of the supreme court wiped out the last hope of those who thought there was yet a chance of esaping the tax.
 Payment of the tax is not option al, Every employer is required to collect and return to the internal revenue collector each month the stipulated percentage of earnings together with like sum to be match ed by the employer.

control over it for the protection of the students.
 Liquor is our main enemy. Every cabin erected on the Palmer high way is a potential liquor dispensaiy y. If we have no control over the prem ises. we could not prevent whites from establishing liquor stores al- most in the very yard of the school. "
 Mir. Dale said the Indian Bureau probably would not interfere with sports fishing at Eklutna lake and many other activities in the area.
 Extensive Campus
 Under the new program the cam pus of the Eklutna school becomes one of the largest in the nation eX- tending oyer the mountainous ter rain from Eagle River to Knik River and from the beach line of Knik Arm back into the mountains to the head waters of the Eagle River.
 The Eklutna school is consider. ed by many as an institution for de. linquent or wayward natives" MT Dale declared. That is a wrong con- eeption. We select the outstanding native children who are capable oi absorbing knowledge and of bene- Hitting by it. They are given train. ing at Eklutna and then returned tC their home communities.
 ! Program Is LOng-Range Our aim is to improve the stand ards of living among natives and in. crease their economic efficiency. Elk lutna is something of a college fol them. Under the new program tht students will live very much as they do in their home communities ant engage in activities similar to those at home but under expert instrdc 1 tion and guidance"
 MT. Dale pointed out that the pro. gram will take years to develop anC | that there will be no visible evidence of it in the mediate future.

Five hundred and fifteen square miles of land have been temporarily withdrawn from the public domain by executive order of President Roosevelt as an Indian Reserve for the Eklutna Vocational School north of Anchorage.
 The land involved covers all the territory along the Anchorage-Pal- mer highway from Eagle River 10 the Eklutna River It extends from the shores of Knik Arm far back in to the Chagach Mountains to tine headwaters of the Knik glacier.
 Stated in acres the Indian reserve comprises 329.6OO acres of picture esQue mountains, valleys, Lake Elk lutna, Peters Creek, the Eklutna Rly- CT and other points.
 Establishment of the reserve has brought to public attention a new program to be followed by the school From c. A. Dale, acting principal, the Anchorage Times obtained the following information on the new program.
 A fundamental change in the cd ucationaI system of the school will be made.
 Instead. of being drilled in sca- demic subjects which are virtually worthless to natives when they re- turn to their home communities throughout Alaska, they will be trained in farming, reindeer herding, trapping, fishing, handicrafts and the many other activities common ill Indian villages MT. Dale said.
 The 515 square miles of land set aside for the use of the school may some day be the scene of reindeer herds, small farms, cabins built by the students, and traplines.
 We do not know at present how much of the land will actually be needed for the new program" MT. Dale said. "The government placed sufficient and in the reserve to cov- CT the needs for many years to come. The land not needed will eventually be returned to the public domain"
 Protection Measure
 Mir. Dale pointed out that the h. dian Bureau, under whose direction the school is operated, aims to i'm prove the economic status of the Indian and raise his standard of ltV- ing.
 Ut is not the aim of the Eklutra school to shut out whites from the land used in the educational pro gram" MT. Dale asserted. We had to have the land set aside as re- serve so that we could have some

VOTE AUTHORIZED
ON PLAY Project
Whitehaven Property Own
ers to Be Po||ed on
DEVELOPMENT Plan.

The Burleith Citizens Association
last night voted that a referendum
be presented to. the property owners
adjacent to the proposed Whitehaven
Playground to determine whether
playground is wanted at this loca-
tion.
Gordon E. Clark and Perry A. Eel
loves, members of the association,
asked by the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission to sound
out the sentiment Of the property
owners adjoining this area, explained
that this action was being taken by
the commission because they did not
want to decide on this question until
the opinions Of the property owners
were known.
The property is located behind the
homes of residents on Thirty-seventh
street NV and south of Whitehaven
Drive.
Mr.. Clark explained the commits
sion planned to restrict the play
ground, a 05-by-200-foot tract, to
children under 8 years old under
supervision, and that the Fairgrounds
would be locked at night.
Objection to the playground was
expressed by Henry F. Brown, mem
ber of the association, who stated that
the acquisition of the property would
be the means for getting a foothold
so that baseball diamond or foot
ball field could be placed on the site.
Mr.. Brown is not an adjacent prop
erty owner. Conway Kitchen, an ad-
jacent property owner, expressed dis
approval because of the noise that
would be caused by the children.
Martin A. Cannon, president of the
association, appointed the following
to serve on the Christmas benefit for
needy families in the section: Mrs.
E. S. Heiskell, Mr. Clark, John S.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Last Saturday Adolf Hitler, chief
executive of the German government,
before the parliament at Berlin, sum-
moned for a two and half hour ses-
sion, delivered his long awaited
speech concerning his view of present
day international and German prob
lens. The only thing sensational
about that utterance was its compare
tive mildness; he confined himself to
generalities rather than to specific
assertions, and in what he said there
was nothing really new and startling
1t was, largely, a restatement of
thoughts expressed on former Oc-
caSionS.
Hitler's claims for the restoration
of the overseas colonies lost as a re-
suit of the World war repeated a for
mer assurance that he was not go
ing to resort to arms to get them back.
His insistence that Germany could no
longer be considered solely responsible
for the outbreak of that war was in
line with what his predecessor. Presi-
dent Paul Won Hindenburg-and a
good many historians in various
cOuntrieS-have maintained. And we'll
known, too, was the statement that
Germany does not care to enter into
any international agreements concern

A Ford car was stolen from Rev.

from meeting in Rock Creek and
placed his car in the garage near the

Later when he decided to remain in

ing the keys and in the morning found
that the car had been stolen during
the night. No trace of the car has
yet been found.
Rev. McGladry is pastor of the M.
e. church at Pine City and also has
churches at Rock Greek and Hustle

felt as Rev. McGladry uses it very
much in making calls and going to

New Secretary Chosen by FL.
State Convention.

Eight hundred delegates from

in annual meeting of the Farmer

the ST. Paul Auditorium Friday and
Saturday. For some time daily papers
have played up the dissension within
the party, possibly as some have
ly exists, but nevertheless there was
plenty of fireworks displayed at
times during the convention which
ultimately resulted in the custer of
|. G. Strout as secretary and the plac-
ing of Rep. Harold L. Peterson, we'll
known youth leader, in his place. 1t
appears to be the job of the new Sec
rotary and his associates on the state
board to iron out differences which
do exist.
Much of the convention discussion
and rowing came about over the sus-
tanning fund to which state officials
and employees contribute out of their
salaries and strongly for which has
been George H. Griffith, state oil in
spector. Many heated arguments
were INDUCED in and some express
sions were heard from the floor in
timating that it is necessary to bring
the hidden government of the AssOci-
alton out into the open. This was
aimed at Griffith.
