are purchasing new craft to meet the demands of tourist travel
 There are other signs that 1887 will be red-letter year on Alaska's calendar. Gold and silver productions are continuing. More important products other than precious metals are being shipped at rate almost double that of a year ago. And the fishing season is just beginning.
 But it should be a cause of shame to the richest nation earth that travel between the United States proper and its vast terri tory a few hundreds of miles distant is still confined to water traffic and an occasional air journey.
 Alaska has belonged to the United States for seventy years.
 Good roads have made the automobile a standard form of transportation in all other parts of the United States for more than twenty-five years.
 Yet no one has yet travelled from any one of the forty-eight states to Alaska by auto mobile
 The difficulty, of course is that the route between the United States and Alaska lies through the territory of another nation.
 But this difficulty should not be insup- erable.
 This country and Canada boast of more than a century of peace, and border un- marked by forts
 They have been able to act jointly in many other matters of mutual interest. And high way that would tap Northern British Colum- bia and the Yukon, as well as Alaska, certainly should be of interest to Canada.
 few years ago an international commis- sion studied the proposal for an extension of the Pacific Highway through Canada to Alas ka and found it feasible. The plan was dropped during the depression.
 The Post-Intellgencer believes it is time to resume the drive for tie Alaska Interna- tional Highway
 Alaska deserves to become a part of the United States in fact as well as by legal title.

The Way to Peace
Philadelphia Record)

There is charming satire-at least We hope it's satire in the new film Lost Horizon. Englands new Foreign Secretary confides to his younger brother very simple way to peace:
 I'm not going to have an army m gong 10 sink my batteships going to destroy every piece Of warcraft Then, when the enemy approaches, we'll say Come in gentlemen! What can we do for you?
 50 then the poor enemy soldiers will stop and think And what will they think, freshle? They Il think to themselves. There's something wrong here. We've been duped. These people really seem quite friendly and why should we shoot them? Then they'll lay down their arms.
 You see how simple the whole thing is Gen. tl1ies of tradition kicked right in the pants!
 The important thing is that there are people naive enough believe this simple device would solve the problem of England indeed, seems to have had test of how it would feel to be helpless n her recent back-downs before the defis of Il Duce.
 The day of genuine peace will dawn however, not when men refuse to fight in defense but when men refuse to march abroad to shoot down other men in a war of aggression at the Whim of a dictator
 Or in terms of the current picture, the recent military weakness of Britain was an encouragement to the war -mongers The low morale of Italian troops fighting in Spain, battling for they know not what is a positive factor for peace Dctators cannot make war if the people refuse to support them.

Washington University graduates at
the baccalaureate services last night in

1t Is fortunate, Dean Powell added,
that this faith produces power, for
without this we would be able to see

unable to realize what we see.

HOUSE CONSIDERS
! P.W.A. EXTENSION
Two-Year Period for New
Loans of $135,O00,00
May Be Granted.
'D3 the Associated Press.

D. the Associated Press.
The House considered today a pro-
posal to extend for two years the
Public Works Administration.
P. w. A.. due to expire June 80 un-
less the bill passes, now has available
for loans about s124,ooo,o0o. Applica-
tions are pending against this fund
from communities which have voted
bonds to pay their share Of the cost
Of projects.
The bill would make $4,000, 900
available for grants by extending
P. w. AS power to use a $1,000, 900
balance in its revolving fund and by
authorizing it to sell $4O,OO0,000 OF
securities.
Only projects already approved by
p. w. AS examining division would
be eligible for loans or grants under
the extension proposal.
Relief Labor Order Revoked.
President Roosevelt agreed last
week to revoke recent order which
limited P. w. A. grants almost en-
tirely to relief labor pay rolls.
That order has caused communities
to show little interest In P. w. A.
grants. OF more than 800 offers on
that basis, P. w. A. officials received
but a handful of acceptances, refusal
being based on the reported difficulty
OF finding relief workers competent for
heavy construction tasks.
Representative Better, Democrat, of
New York, said he had been assured
that certain funds would be made
available for l,178 new school build
1ngs sought by communities all over
the country to replace hazardous
structures.
The p. w. A., which will be four
years old on June Is, has spent Sc
142 900 900, providing an estimated
total Of 7,300,000,00O man-hours of
labor either directly or indirectly.
New Jobs at StandstiN.
1t had completed on May /, 21 ,674
projects costing 81 100000, 900 and had
under construction 3,l7O projects cost
ing $l,s74 100000 New Job activity
was at Standstill.
A report of Col. Horatio B. Hackett,
assistant administrator, showed P.
W. A. has 100000 of its available
FUNDS for grants tentatively ear
marked.
This includes a $4,000, 900 item
Tor Pennsylvania State institutional
building program. Pennsylvania au-
thorities have delayed accepting the
money because Of the present relief
wage requirement..
Hackett showed applications for
e58, 100000 in P. w. A. grants to prof.
scts for which communities have ap-
proved bond elections to carry their
share; $l4,0O0,000 to projects for
which State legislatures have voted
appropriations, and $60,0O0,00O for
hazardous schools
Most OF the projects in the city
bond issue category and almost half
those in the State appropriation list
have been approved by P. w. A.

the record that am not ashamed Of
and in order to make my own posi-
ton clear said Kelly.
Il met Mr.. Lohmeyer when was in
the Detective Bureau, and there had
been a hold-up at the Earle. 1 paid
my way into the theater both before
and after that time This year I have
been sent season pass"
Mr.. Kelly explained afterward that
he did not want to be in position Ct
admitting testimony relative to passes
received by other officers without max
ing his own situation in this regard
clear.
When Lohmeyer was asked specific
ally, Did you ever send Winfield
passes accompanied by parking tick
et?" he said yes. He then was asked
how many times since April, 1932-the
first day on which the charges against
Winfield are alleged-this had hap
pened.
If said or 800 it would be
guessing" he answered. II sent passes
every week to all officers, but it just
possibly happened if 1 had parking
tickets I sent them," the witness ex-
planned, after telling the board that
other officers in addition to Winfield
had figured in these occurrences.
Kelly asked: IF a man violated the
law and there was no Justification
for asking cancellation of the ticket,
you would not ask it?"
Il would not" the witness replied.
Another witness was Louis Silver
berg, liquor dealer, 1857 Georgia
avenue, who was asked If Winfield
lever fixed a parking ticket" for him.

Old Feud Flares.
An old and bitter feud between
Lewis and Senator Holt, Democrat, Of
West Virginia, fiared after the latter
had questioned the labor leader for
several minutes.
Bridling at a question about his
attitude toward Government inquiry
into collective bargaining contracts,
Lewis asked:
Senator, are you trying to be
humorous?"
Not with you" Holt replied.
"Well, you couldn't with me-" Lewis
added.
As Chairman Black tried to bring
peace, Lewis remarked:
I don't like the Senator's language
I resent it. If he wants to address
me in that way, suggest he not bur-
den the record"
Il want to say" Holt countered,
that Mr.. Lewis Is not going to bull

Diana Battye Disappears
After Being MysteriousIy
S|ashed on Forehead.
8! the Associated Press.

LONDON, June Scotland Yard
disclosed today a nationwide search
was under way for beautiful Diana
Battye, 21-year-old society girl and
aspirant for motion picture stardom,
who disappeared June l after being
mysteriously slashed on the forehead
Did," as she was known to her
friends, was last seen leaving the home
of her childhood friend, Viscountess
Long. with whom she had been staying
for the coronation season.
Fiancee of Asquith.
The blonde beauty is the f1ancee Of
Michael Asquith, the son Of the Hon.
Herbert Asquith and Lady Cynthia,
and police assumed she was going to
post a letter to him when she disap-
peared from the vicountess' London
home.
Young Asquith said he received the
letter the following day, but it con-
tanned no hint she might have planned
to leave London without letting her
friends know.
Lady Long said "Didi," on the day
she disappeared, had kept a luncheon
appointment at which her motion pic
ture prospects were discussed and then
returned to the house.
"She left again after making two
telephone calls" Lady Long told police.
The girl was in such hurry she did
not take her hat, gloves or bag with
her.
Lady Long told Scotland Yard de-
tectives she had received two mysteri-
Gus telephone calls on the day follow
ing the disappearance.
Each time she went to the telephone,
however, she said no one answered.
Worried Over Anonymous Letters.
Diana, Lady Long disclosed, had
been worried for several weeks by a
series of anonymous typewriter
letters.
Then on the night of May 12-
coronation night, when all London was
jammed with celebrating crowds-the
blond beauty was slashed on the fore
head by mysterious assailant.
Diana ran in here coronation eve
ning," Lady Long said, bleeding from
a wound on her forehead. She said
she had been slashed with 4 razor by
an unidentified man within 100 yards
OF my home.
"She would not let me call police
because she said that she was afraid
II she disclosed the attack another at
tempt might be made"
Her hostess said the girl had only
about IS ($25) with her when she
disappeared.
"Didi" is the daughter OF Capt.
Percy Battye, former of1cer in the
fashionable Welsh Guards Regiment,
and Mrs. Leonard Hackett, the we'll
known airwoman.

season and again as in the past we find
many tributes being paid Negro foot
ball players by being included on the
various all-American teams picked by
the sports writer's and the various
press associations.
At the top of the list stands Brud
Holland, end of Cornell. Holland,
whose spectacular wizardry on the
gridiron Gagged most Of the games the
Big Red team started this season was
unanimously chosen All-American end
by tlsGA ssociated Press and the sports
writers of most of the leading papers.
Close behind him and pushing him
for top honors, is Ed Williams, back
of New York University. Williams
feats have been so spectacular that he
has succeeded TO a degree in routing
discrimination in the South. He was
rated the most feared back by no less
team than the University of North
Carolina gridders in the heart of Jim
Crowism and segregation.
Another amazing tribute to Negro
players came from Southern Methodist
University of Texas whose coach
would not allow any ban on two star
Negro players of UCLA, Kenny
Washington and Woodrow Syrode, in
the schools annual clash. Comment
ing on the game, the student news
paper said:
"The favorite player Of the day was
Kenny Washington No football
player has ever lived more magnifi-
cent first quarter than he. He was
everywhere He made all the tackles
He gained all the ground He was
