BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

Three Of the four Southern Mary
land counties-Calvert, st. Merys
and Charles. with three votes each
are definitely for Senator Tydings in
his contest for denomination in the
primary next Monday, against the
Rooseveltsupported challenger, Rep
resentative David J. Lewis. Each
OF these three counties will give Tyd-
ings heavy majorities.
The fourth county, Prince Georges.
with seven votes, must be classed
as doubtful. The county has been
claimed by Mr.. Lewis and his sup
porters, and their, claim was more
or less conceded because of peculiar
local conditions and the fact that
prominent New Deal henchmen live
in that county, but a careful recheck
shows strong and increasing senti-
ment for Senator Tydings. Several
prominent Democratic leaders now
positively claim Prince eorges for the
Senator.
The county is the home of M
Hampton Magruder, collector of in
ternal revenue, who some time ago
announced his support of Mr.. Lewis
Kent r. Mullikin of Laurel, Mr..
Lewis campaign manager; Sumner
Welles. Undersecretary Of State
Breckenridge Long; DR.. H. c. Byrd
president Of Maryland University
who invited the President to enter
the Maryland campaign: Lansdale
G. Sasscer, one Of the four candidates
for Governor; and T. Howard Duckett
an attorney and party leader II
was reported that this group, supposed
ly close to the President and the
New Deal. would help pile up pow
erful support for Mr. Lewis. The lower
section OF the county has all along
been for Senator Tydings.
Metropolitan Area Claimed.
Laurel, Takoma Park, Hyattsville
Riverdale, College Park. Bladensburg
Seat Pleasant and Capitol Heights, in
what is known as the metropolitan
area. together with Bowie and Upper
Marlboro. have been claimed for Mr.
Lewis, The recheck and a careful
canvass by precinct workers indicate
that Senator Tydings is likely to
carry Laurel, that DR.. Byrd's activi-
ties do not seem to have been very
effective for Mr.. Lewis in the College
Park section, and that there is q
strong sentiment for Senator Tyd-
ings in Takoma Park. Hyattsville
Riverdale. Bladensburg, Suitland
Piscataway and the farming sections
So Prince Georges, with its seven
votes must be listed as doubtful.
The strongest sentiment for Mr.
Lewis seems to be around Seat Pleas
ant, where a rally has been arranged
for Senator Tydings to talk with the
voters tonight.
In Calvert County Senator Tyd-
ings will win easily. M. ]. Lane
Mayor of North Beach. who made
recanvass Of the county Sunday, says

JOE EROSION
 DUE BY PLANE

Joe Crosson, General Manager of Pacific Alaska Airways, was sched- uled to arrive in Juneau this after noon with Pilot Herb Munter from Ketchikan.
 Crosson has been in the East for several weeks in connection with Alaska Aeronautics Commission work and Pan-American Airways plans for Seattle to Juneau air mail
 In Seattle, Crosson said it is hoped the Alaska to the States service would be initiated by a temporary" ship this fall, to be replaced next year by the most modern airplane equipment avail able-name, the new Boeing strato- liner land plane.
 Crosson said the big ships would probably carry g passengers be- sides mail and air express. The stratoliner is a four-engined plane that flies at a height of several thousand feet and would fly over all normal weather disturbances.
 Adequate landing facilities would be required in Alaska before the actual regular service is begun next year, Crosson said, which is believ- ed means extensive development work at the Mendenhall Airport, and considerably enlarged landing and hangar facilities.
 It is believed the stratoliners will place Juneau and Seattle within five and half hours of each other.

Club Women Honor Retiring President, Alaskan Federation
Mrs. Robert Atwood Speaks at Luncheon Yester-
 day Afternoon

"Perpetuating Alaska's Heritage" has been the slogan of Mrs. Robert Atwood, retiring president for the Alaska Federation of Women s Clubs. This statement was brought out when she was presented to Mrs. Mildred Hermann, newly-elected president for the Federation, at the luncheon given yesterday by the Juneau Woman's Club in honor Of Mrs. Atwood.
 The Thursday luncheon, at which Mrs Thomas Haigh, presiding as President, was attended by a large number of members and their guests, all of whom listened with great interest while Mrs. Atwood told in her direct way, of the inn pressions she had received at the Triennial Convention of the Gen tral Federation Convention, held recently.
 Mrs. Atwood stated that "the strength of organized wom n throughout the world was my great est impression, and the fact that this great work of club women IS being carried out by women of such unusual character and ability was another thing which struck me with great force"
 Among the speakers at these conventions were many persons of national renown, speaking upon varied subjects in which the organi- zation is interested.
 Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar, we'll known in the Territory for her valuable work in the Anti-Tubereu- losis Campaign, was unanimously elected as president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, at the convention. AS Mrs. Dunbar S home is in Portland, Ore, it was sig nificant that thousands of red roses should be received from her home town following her election, and distributed among the guests. Other officers elected were like wise greeted with favors from their home states.
 Conventions of this nature have so far seemed very remote to Al aska, but it is very possible" said Mrs. Atwood, that in 1940, at least one of them will be held in the north"

STOCK MARKET AGAIN SWINGS
 UPWARD TODAY
Pot Kept Boiling with Cop per, Rubber Shares
 Leading Advance

NEW YORK, July 1.-The mid- year boom in the buying of indus trials and raw materials, reminding Wall Street of the unseaSonal rush that beat the gun of advancing prices two years ago, helped keep the stock market pot boiling today with copper, rubber common, and other key materials, acting as if they sensed the business turn toward recovery later in the summer.
 The share market was able to keep the nose pointed upward des- pite the widespread urge among traders to cash in on June profits before the extended weekend holi- day.
 Many stocks went ahead of new tops of the year, advances running about $3 a share. Transactions were 100000 shares.
 Copper purchases are reported to have jumped around 91,000 tons during the last month, the largest since December of 1886.

HIGHWAY BEING ROUTED AT
 MILE 210- 212
Richardson Road Open for Traffic, However, While
 Work Goes Ahead

Work of re-routing the Richard son Highway between Mile 210 and PIP is now going forward, but in the meantime the road is open and will continue to be during the summer, according to Chief En- gineer Ike P. Taylor of the Alaska Road Commission, who returned on the Mount Mckinley after a field trip to road projects over the Ter ritory
 The river at that point has been forced back into the old channel, the engineer said, and the tempor- ary road is along the river bed. Due to the annual trouble which has resulted at that point on the high way, the Commission is building a new route this summer over the two-mile stretch which it is hoped will eliminate much of the previous trouble.
 All Commission road work this year is confined to maintenance, MT. Taydor said. as no funds were appropriated for new construction Between 400 and 500 men are en- gagged in this work
 The Engineer visited most of the major Interior sections, going to Fairbanks, Circle, over to Nome and Seward Peninsula and along the Richardson Highway. He reported that there. was some labor trouble in Anchorage and Seward but that it appeared to be ironing itself out. Fairbanks still has quite few un- employed men, as enlistment in the new eco camp there revealed, he reported, but the marked activity in mining is relieving the situa- tion.
 Seasonal activity is at it's peak, he found, and he looks for won- derful year all through the In-i terior.
