 In the debate at this time the Delegate placed additional ground work for his plan to have air-mai service inaugurated from the Unit cd States to Juneau, via Ketchi- kan, Wrangell, and Petersburg, and then connecting with the Juneau Fairbanks route already authorized Supporting this plan he showed that on the basis of business done by the United States in Alaska the Territory juStifies the establishment of such a route as much of the bus mess done in South America and in the Orient justify the service now provided to the countries served by these routes. Delegate Dimond em- phasized that his request was not sectional in character when he said in closing:

 selfish concern for the people of

Capitol Hill Cool
To Perkins Request
BY EDWARD B. LOCkETT
International News Service

international News Service
The demand of Secretary of La
Dor Frances Perkins for utmost
haste" legislation, to deal with the
automotive strike. faced rough 60
ing on Capitol Hill today.
Surprised by the request. Con-
gressional leaders declined to give
her assurance of the speed she
asked, but promised to consider
the proposal.
Miss Perkins asked for action
with the utmost haste compatible
with sound procedure" Her re-
quest was made in identical letters
to Speaker Bankhead of the
House and Senator Joe T. Robin
son Of Arkansas, Senate leader.
Bankhead Neutral
Speaker Bankhead commented:
81 have answered Miss Per
kinS' letter. I assured her the
suggestion will be given the
consideration that a cOmmunica-
ton of this sort deserves. 1
could not give Miss Perkins as.
surance of action, as there has
not been time to consider 1T.
I informed her that would ad-
wise her as soon as could get
an intelligent reaction here"
Miss Perkins proposal called Tor
q law empowering the Labor De-
partment to investigate the cause
of strikes, subpoena documents
and witnesses, and make recon-
mendations for settlement.
Congressional leaders appeared
in the dark on the all-important
point of presidential sentiment.
Tactical Error
Moreover, Miss Perkins, in ad-
dressing her requests directly to
the two leaders in Congress, COM
mitted what would be normally re-
garoed as a tactical error. She ap-
parently never consulted the chair
men of House or Senate Labor
Committees, who must okay her
legislation.
Senator Black CD Of Ala
bama, chairman of the Senate
Labor Committee, was notified
OF the request by International
News Service. He said he had
not before heard of it and de-
clined comment.
Representative Connery Cd
OF Massachusetts,. chairman OF
the House Labor Committee, had
not heard of the proposal either
until newSpapermen telephoned
him. However he approved the
suggestion saying:
81 will be glad to introduce
such legislation as Miss Per
kins proposes here"
Up to Roosevelt
The big and unanswered ques-
ton here today was whether Presi-
dent Roosevelt will give the go
ahead signal for action on the pro-
posed measure. If he does. speedy
progress will result. If not, delay
may kill the effectiveness Of the
move SO far as General Motors is
concerned.
Miss Perkins said she had not

sending her request to Congress.
She added, however, that she had
talked it over with some leaders"
and predicted it would win sup
port.
Speaker Bankhead professed ex-
treme surprise and some annoy
ance that she had made public
her request. and offered no COM
ment. The letter containing the
proposal and addressed to Demo
cratic Leader Robinson was not
opened until the Senator reached
his office this morning.

Just A Balloon Ride
The Administrator view of the
situation is that while the sit
down feature Of the motor strike
has not been ruled on by a court,
that it ought not to stand in the
way of a conference among all
concerned, including the personal
representative of the President.

force such a conference as "a bal

THREE
A city employee had been con-
victed Of stealing city funds. The
judge in passing judgment said
that because the employees bond
ing company had made good the
loss, he felt he should be as len
lent as possible with the culprit.
Since the bonding company
was engaged by the city and paid,
a fee by the city to protect the
city in case that employee should
steal city funds, and since the cul-
prit had had nothing whatever to
do with engaging the bonding
company, with paying its fee, and
with making good the loss, will
someone please explain just why
the fact that the city got back
the money should have anything
to do with letting the dishonest
employe off lightly?
Just so long as we tolerate dis
honest handling of public funds,
just so long will public funds be
handled dishonesty.
