JUNEAU RELIEF
 WORKER HELD
 IN GIRL CASE
Harvey Anderson, 56, AL legged to Have Lured Five
 Year-Old Girl to Shack

Alleged to have lured five-year- old Juneau girl to his house. where he was reported to have been found later naked with the child, Harvey Anderson, 56, white relief worker, was arrested by police last night and after being arraigned in U. s. Commissioners Court this morning was lodged in the Federal jail under $2,500 bond on charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor child.
 Anderson is alleged to have lured the little girl and her small brother from the ball park late yesterday afternoon to his house with offers of candy. He later is said to have sent the boy away and locked him. self and the child in his small house near the Fair building. Alarmed when the little boy re- turned without his sister, the par ents, who live not far from the ball park, summoned police. Search was started but it was not until nearly II o'clock last night that the father located the shack where his child was held prisoner. He was attracted by screams of the little girl.
 Breaking down the door when he heard his daughters cries, the father rushed in and is said to have found Anderson with the little girl. Before others joined him, the father had pummelled Ander- sons head to bleeding mess with his fists and broken bone in his hand in the effort. Today when arraigned in court, Anderson show ed evidence of having been on the receiving end of a thorough pun ishment. Both eyes were nearly closed and his entire face was a mass of swollen bruises.
 Officers said it was not believed the little girl had been criminally attacked.
 When questioned by Assistant District Attorney George w. Folta this morning, Anderson who said he came here a year ago from the Prince William Sound region, claim ed he didn't remember anything, pleading that he had been drunk. He has been on relief jobs since being here and his last work, he said, was a short time as a long shoreman. Anderson said he had lived in Alaska for some years and formerly worked in cannery at Port Wells before coming to Juneau Folta said he was not known to have any relatives here.

WEIRD FISH CEASES MAN
 INTO WOODS
Has Eel Shape, Sailfish Fin, Dog Teeth, and Taste
 for Blood

Bottles went overheard in Swan son Harbor the other day when a hand troller suffered the narrowing experience of being chased ashore by a five-foot weird fish-it is said.
 The trollers story was elaborated to the point where the man had not only been chased ashore by this demon fish, but he had also been chased right on into the trees, the fish flying in pursuit.
 Anyway, all stories could be be- lieved if one could see the fish. Sandy Stevens brought the strange denizen of the deep to Juneau yes terday and it was frozen at the Juneau Cold Storage.
 The horror creature is 5 feet long, and about as big around as a mans arm. It has fierce looking. long jaws set with backward lean ing inch-long teeth. And oldest of all the fish's strange accoutre- ments is it's dorsal fin, three feet long sailfish-like lin that is per- haps a foot high at one place.
 Sandy Stevens said the trol;er from whom he got the fish was plenty scared" and it's not hard to understand.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Ordin- arily tears do not spring readily to our eyes at the sad plight of politi- clans, but at the end of every ses- sion it is no trick at all to point to a dozen or more members of Con- greSS who won't be back. Doubtless there will be several dozen this fall.
 People who can treat that situa- tion as a mere matter of statistics get along with fewer regrets but when the case of particular mem- Der is analysed there are some real heart-throbs. We know a young lawyer who isn't going to come back. He and his two office helpers are beginning te be a bit forlorn. The boss has had $10,000 a year and the help $5,000 year. He may be a long time getting that price for his services again, with the road even sleeper for the office help.
 They are young, and after all it is nice to have been in the big breeze for time, and often enough the experience proves profitable
 More acute are the pains of those of 50 summers or more who were graduated from small law office or bankrupt farm into Congress

Italy is said to have interceded with Insurgent General Franco in an effort to get him to halt his attacks on British shipping.

 Both I ta ly's interceSsion and Great Britain'S movement of de- stroyers are taken to indicate the increasing pressure on Premier Chamberlain to do something to stop the attacks on British vessels, sixteen having been bombed, sev- eral sent down, during the past three weeks.

 A highlight of the period was drastic shakeup of the stock ex- changes administrative machinery no doubt hastened by the insol- vency and sending to prison ot Richard Whitney, a former presl- dent and leader of the so-called "old guard" faction of it's member ship.
