BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Aug 25.- Many
a New Dealer has voasted that a
major accomplishment of the Roose-
welt regime has been the moving
"of the real capital Of the United
States" from New York to Wash
ington.
Roosevelt partisans have declar-
ed that before Athe New Deal re-
turned the plain people to author
ity," New York's financial barons
exercised a more or less invisible
control of national governmental
policies which they described as
amounting to a dictatorship for a
privileged few"
With the Roosevelt revolution"
the less opulent SoLth and West
were said to have leaped into the
political saddle-riding strangely
hybrid Democratic donkey with I'M
wonted disdain of the ence proud
and politically powerful financial
East.

IDENTIFY BODY
OF GRIMSTAD in
BOAT TRAGEDY
Fox Farmer Victim When
Gasboat Explodes Off
Shelter Island

Body of the man reported burned
to death in the fire of the gasboat
Mergoe off Shelter Island Monday
afternoon proved to be that of Har-
old Grimstad, owner of the vessel,
it was definitely established yester-
day afternoon when party of Of
ficials from here flew to the scene
to investigate. =
The gasboat apparently had ex-
ploded, it was reported, and Grim
stad was badly mangled as we'll as
burned in the fire.
According to the report brought
back by U. S. Commissioner Felix
Gray, Assistant District Attorney
George w. Folta and Deputy Mar
shall John Mccormick, H. c. Bry-
son, of Juneau, who was in trolling
camp at Shelter Island, sighted the
burning boat about the same time
as did the steamer Mount McKin-
ley. Bryson sped to the scene with
his cupboard motored craft and the
steamer drew alongside. While the
Mckinley played a stream of wa
ter on the burning Mergoe, Bryson
went aboard and found Grimstad
dead in the engine room. He placed
a rope around the body and the Nc
Kinley hauled it free of the vessel,
which sank almost Immediately. The
body was then placed in Bryson's
small boat and he took it ashore
to await the coming of officers.
The authorities contacted Sam
Burkness, who was employed by
Grimstad at his Hump Island fox
farm, and the former identified the
body as that of Grimstad.
The body was brought to Juneau
by the officials aboard the seaplane
piloted by Alex Holden, who flew
them to the scene, and is now at the
C. w. Carter Mortuary pending flu
neral arrangements.
An inquest was to be held this af-
ternoon.
