confronting the United States
and England as a result Of most

whether the President and his

CHOLERA THREAT
SPURS PLAN OF
US. EVACUATION
By ROBERT G. NIXON

U.N.S0. The scourge Of chol-
era-the dread black plague Of
the Middle Ages-added to the
deadly peril Of shell fire and
aerial bombing, today impelled
the State Department to consider
seriously the complete evacuation
of the American civilian colony
from Shanghai.
The cholera was discovered
among the Chinese refugees who
have crowded by thousands into
the French concession of the inter
national city, where many Ameri-
cans have their residences.
CRUISERS READY
The acuteness Of the peril to
Americans was increased by the
order barring American passenger
and merchant vessels from Shang-
hal as q result Of the bombing
attack on the. American liner
President Hoover, in which one
person was fatally wounded and
nine others injured.
The State Department ordered
warships of the U. S. Asiatic
squadron to evacuate Americans
who will leave Shanghai.
Some 1000 remain there and
the burden of a wholesale evacu-
alton, should the present stu
alton reach emergency proper
lions, led officials to consider dis
patching four crack cruisers of
the Pacific fleet at San Diego to
Shanghai.

BODY OF SOLDIER FOUND
 AT FOOT OF PRECIPICE

The body of Private NJ. B. Wurtz 21-year-old Chilkoot Barracks sol dier, was found last week at the base of a preeipice on Baranof is- land
 Wurtz apparently was killed when he fell from the cliff in the dark after he had become lost in the wilds of Suffield Peninsula while on a hunting trip October 21 with other soldiers from the fort.
 The U. s. s. Torrance. army ten der. took a hunting party of 15 men and two officers to Rodmau Bay Oc- tober Is. Private Wurtz, in com pany with Corporal A. l.. McGibra. cook for the outfit. went into the mountains on the north end of Bar anof Island to hunt deer. but McGil- bra turned back to camp, while Wurtz decided to remain in the hills for a short time longer. He was ney- CT seen alive again.
 The story of his wanderlngs as reconstructed by officers at the fort, is short Wurtz. an inexperienced woodsman, soon lost his way, went down the wrong side of a ridge and was overtaken by darkness. Contin- uing to wander through the thiekets in the night, he stepped from the edge of the cliff and was killed on the boulders hundreds of feet be- low.
 After Wurtz was reported missing, the Torrance left seven men to search for him and returned to the fort for an additional searching party of 30 men. Major L. W. Amis, command ing officer directed the hunt for the soldier.

SALMON INDUSTRY CONTINUES
 NATIONAL ADV. CAMPAIGN

Announcement was made this week by the advertising committee of the Canned Salmon Industry that national advertising on this product would be continued during tbe next three years A sign-up of more than five million cases. the minimum re- Iuired to make the advertising re- newal contracts effective. was se- cured early in the week, the com mittee reports.
 Greatly increased advertising ef- fort is planned for l93S. with spec ial emphasis placed on increasing salmon sales in U. S. markets dur ing the Lenten period. Price increas- es necessitated by higher production costs have caused d slowing down of the salmon movement built up over the last two years by the mdustry's advertising program. and Industry leaders feel that an especially strong campaign is needed during the com ing year.
 The announcement of three more etlt Q tlAt Sl AAf'iAif ah bBbi III hlAE Ilt tions markets for Alaska's leading food product is expected to stimulate market activities on canned salmon. It is felt in many quarters that wholesale buyers have been holding off purchase sof more stocks until they were asusrel that the advertis- ing on canned salmon would be con inued Contracts under which this advertising has been carried on dur ing the past two years expire on January first
 Advertising on canned salmon during the coming year will con tinue to feature the nutritive values and economy of this food. The in creased advertising budget will per init the wider use of color advertis- ing in leading magazines, and will also permit the addition of other forms of advertising including more newspaper space during the coming year.

LIQUOR VIOLATIONS
Guneau Empire)

The grand jury in submitting it's report yesterday at the completion of its two weeks session made the following recommendation:
 It has come to our attention dur ing the examination of witnesses be- fore this Grand Jury for violation of the laws that the greater part of the violations are brought about through over indulgence in liquor, and we recommend that all law enforcement authorities exercise greater vigilance In combating this evil, and that the officers in charge of the enforce ment of these regulations vigorous ly prosecute the Iicensee ViOlatOrs to the extent of reYoklng their. licenses. we further recommend that, if beer nails are allowed to continue and dancing is allowed therein, in the Incorporated cities that City Coun- els pass more drastic regulations governing the sale of liquor and to protect society from this condition.
 It is a glaring fact, whether we like it or not, that liquor played a part in virtually all the cases on winch the grand jury acted at this term, Also, the jury indictments showed a preponderence of vice cases, statuatOry Offenses involving young girls and women in which ex- cesslye drinking invariably figured
 In view of such evidence and the report of the grand jury, the mem Ders of which actually heard all the evidence, it is obvious that the jury's s recommendation is something more than a passing report to be quick ly forgotten. It is very definite warning that it is time to do a little tightening up on liquor law enforcement in the Territory.
 When the jury, in urging great CT vigilance on the part of law en- forcement agencies, recommended prosecution of licensee yiolators" it is fairly strong proof that the jurors had evidence that led them to believe that actual violations were being made.
 There can be no alibi for that condition. In fairness to law-abiding liquor handlers as well as society in general, violations in this Terri tory should not be allowed to exist, and it is up to law enforcement ag- encies to heed the grand jury's re- commendation and pass more dras- tic regulations" if the existing ones are not sufficient.

NOME AIRPLANE PILOT MAKES
 SUCCESS IN MINING VENTURE

Hugh Ford, Engineer in Charge of Power for the Arctic Exploration Company. operating two dredges at Candle, stopping at the Gastineau on his way below for the winter. says three gold placers of more than usual interest have been uncovered in the Nome region this summer, re- ports the Juneau Empire.
 One. according to Ford, is that of Sam Godfrey's, on the high reaches of the Kougarok River where prom ising showings have been found in ancient river channels. Godfrey, a Fairbanks man, spent considerable money in drilling operations this season, the results of which may be seen in expanded machinery develop ment next summer.
 Frank Whaley, veteran Nome air plane pilot, had the most astounding success of the year. It was Whaley whose plane was struck by lightning this summer, a wing ripped clean of fabric, and a crash resulted in which engine and dash panel were broken loose from the plane by the terrific impact as the plane struck the sur face of a small lake. Nobody was kill led or severely injured, and the same luck followed Whaley into gold min ing.
 He is said to have taken a small inadequate appearing outfit into Nugget Creek near Nome with his partners and cleaned up between forty and fifty thousand dollars in gold when the intention had been only to prospect in the few holes put down.
 Bill Oliver, from Fairbanks, and a party of three men also have what may be a big placer field in the next few years, although bad luck dogged them all summer. It is understood the men were prospecting the valley of a river about thirty miles up the Yukon.
 High waters that forced the men to mount their light airplane drill on a raft brought down a heavy run of ice a few weeks ago and the men had to walk out of the country, be- ing lucky to save their lives as we'll as their outfit.
 The men found a little coarse gold little-known people after years of gathering material all over Alaska with the able cooperation of Kood- Iolook, who died at Nome after nine years of loving work among her peo- pie.

 There you will find spread out upon beds of cracked ice mounds of fresh shrimp and scallops, sea bass and hlueflsh, fresh cod and salmon, rnackerel and pike; oysters and clans still in their shells; tiny silver smelts, streaks of beautiful halihut or haddock, founders and sole and red mullet, of course the usual small, sweet fish like por- gies, perch and suntlsh. Lobsters and crabs decorate the front win- dow and do their best to tempt you to extravaganza.

Favorite Recipes of Famous People
NINO MARTINI

The way to Q mans heartP Through his stomach, of course. And even though no woman has as yet captured the heart of the handsome grand opera tenor, Nino Martini, 1t shouldn't be hard to do if she tried Risotto Di Scampi on him. For that excellent Italian dish which in English means Shrimps with Rice, is the favorite of the golden voiced Nino Martini, and when he tastes 1t done just right, his heart gets very near the melting point.
 Mir. Martini likes a big bowl full of Rissoto Di Scampi after per- formance at the Metropolitan Opera House or after Q rehearsal for a moving picture oS in Holly wood. It's a dish of many pur- poses and will serve as a whole meal or an entree or 0 midnight supper snack. Of course, says MT Martini, the "scampi" of Italy, and of Venice in particular, where they are slightly different from our shrimps, surpass both in texture and taste those of other waters but when prepared with care, the American shrimps may taste just as "magnifico."
 Here is how MT. Martini does 1t:
 Ingredients: Two or three dozen shrimps, two cups of rice, two pints of stock made with the shells of t he shrimps, one small onion salt and pepper.
 Method: Chop the onion and fry to @ golden brown in @ little butter or oil. Add the rice and the fist stock, season highly with salt ant pepper, stir well and simmer fol about 30 minutes, or till the rice

BY MARY HOPE NORRIs-- FOunder-Mothers' Radio Round Table

But many of them are too extrav- agant, too complicated for general home use, and these I am moi passing on to you today. There are others, however, which are quite simple, yet different enough from the general cookbook recipes to prove of special interest. For one, this recipe for haddock pUach- ed in white wine:
 Fresh HaddOCk Flamande
 Lay the haddock in a buttere6 casseroleand around 1t place thir slices of onion and mushrooms Pour over enough white witle ts provide liquor for poachii1g. Cool until the fish is done, dress 1t or the fish dish, reduce the cooking liquor, add finely minced parsley and coat the fish with the sauce.
 Those who are fond of eels-- most delicate and sweet of all flef meat--will enjoy them cooked ii this manner:
 Eels Maconnaise
 Gut the eels in sections ane poach them in red wine seasoned with herbs. Remove to a dish, re. duce the liquor and thicken i slightly with a roux of flour ant butter. Garnish with small glazed onions and mushroom caps whicf have been sauted in butter.
 Have you ever cooked fresh her ring? They are delicious pre- pared in. this way:
 Deviled Herring
 Split the fish, spread with pre- pared mustard, sprinkle with but tered bread crumbs and grill. Serv with Ravigette sauce - sauc made of white wine to which added a heavy cream sauce sea soned with chopped shallots cooke, in butter and garnished witt chopped chives and a speck C tarragon.
