MATANUSKA FARM COLONY
 DEEMED TO HAVE JUSTIFIED OUTLAY OF s5,o00,Ooo FOR IT
( By Preston Grover


 WASHINGTON, (P)-If the gov ernment should say that after October there would be no more relief money for anybody, it wou Id be somewhat comparable to what has been done for Harry Hopkins northern outpost, the Matanuska test-tube pioneer pro- ject in Alaska.
 This most dramatic of all relief projects has come to the jump ing oc place, and families which during the last two years have received as much as $75 month for clearing their farms will get nothing after their fall harvest is in.
 Jack London and other writers have painted Alaska as a land of perpetual snow and snarling nal amutes. There were many per sons in the States who did not know that they raise carrots, pigs and peas up there.
 It was two years ago that the relief administration took the country by surprise and rounded up about 200 families from stran- ded farming and numbering com munities in>Michigan, Minnesota, Montana and other northern belt States to cart them off to Alaska.
 Taking them off to Siberia was the accusation at times voiced by critics, but after few sensa- tibnal assertions and complaints, news about the pioneer project petered out until the present or der was issued putting them on their own.
 For National Defense
 Under the contract with the POO faanilies taken to Matanuska in 935, each was to have 40 acres o1 land, farming equipment houses and a grubstake to last until cash crops could be raised. They earned their grubstake by clear. ing Is acres of their own land for which the government paid them $20.50 an acre. An emerge. tic Swede could clear of about two acres a month-that is, cut the trees and burn the brush The government paid contractors to remove the stumpe-
The Nome nugget., 1938-08-12

Of the money he earned. each farmer was allowed a maximum of $75 a month and the rest was kept for him as nest egg when the government should cut off the money. Some earned addi- tional money building roads. All in all, the government has put $5,00O. 900 into the project. Al present only 170 families are on the site and if they had to pay off the entire five million they would fold at once.
 But the government has wink ed off about four of every five dollars it has invested there, jus tifying the experiment on several grounds. First, it is called a na- tional defense job. If the Japan ese should move in on us, the argument goes, Alaska would starve to death unless it had some local source of food. Mata- nuska, strategists explain, is a starter. Second, it demonstrates farming possibilities which may in time prove an outlet for more destitute populations.
 There It Is.
 Such is the demand in Alaskan mining and fishing camps for Matanuskas dairy and farm crops that the colonists get about $40 an acre in return each year. Be- sides that, they are in Valhal,a of natural food. Small game is plentiful.
 Salmon swim up nearby streams and the colonists can catch and pack a winters supply in no time. Natural berries are abund ant. And the weather. believe it or not, is described by impar- tial reporters as less severe than Minnesota's.
 Just what will happen when the government demands it's pay for what it has laid out is some thing for speculation. Works Progress Administration officials profess not to worry. But begin ming in l940 the farmers must begin paying back an average of l $5,OOO a farm. That will repay the government only $850,0o0 of it's $5,0OO,O00 outlay.
 ;, But the colonists claim they are as valuable for Alaskan de fense as a destroyer, and a de stroyer costs five million. And, anyway, he colony is an exisant fact, so what ?

Joe Louis Breaks
Up Ball Game

Detroit, July 2s (ANP)-Ten
thousand people almost mobbed
Worlds Heavyweight Champion
Joe Louis when he stopped a base
ball game here tuesday afternoon.
The champ really broke up the
game-not in the same manner,
however, in WHICH he breaks up
pugilistic hopes and pibs his opp
onents, but merely with his pre-
sence.
The Joe Louis Brown Bombers,
soft ball team, was playing the
Black Hawks, representatives of a
local beer tavern, at Atkinson
field, where 10000 fans waited for
an hour before game time because
it had been announced that the
champ would play first base fer a
few innings. Joe sat among his
players wearing dark sun glasses
and a big le-horn hat turned down
and the multitude failed to re-
cognize him. They crowded on the
field so close that the outfielders
had to play almost on the edge of
the diamond and the police failed
in Their attempts to move thecrowd
back.
In the fifth inning, when joe
arose, took off his glasses and hat
in preparation to play, some n
yelled, "There he isl" and the
surging mob started running
Some thought he was coming and
rushed to the gate to meet him,
while tn rest swamped the popular
idol and literally rushed him OFF
his feet and swept him on towards
the gatd instead of ON the field.
Little children men and women,
white and black tugged at his coat,
eridd to shake his hand and the
poor helpless champion looked be-
wildered. Police came to tn re :
cue and escorted the fight r ~
his car and the game was oyer.
The Bombers won the abbreviated
game 5 to 0.
