S|TD0WN STRIKE
ENDED BY CLIMB
SteepIejaCk Is ForcibIy
Removed From Dome
of Courthouse.
BY the Associated Press.


ANDERSON, Ind, Oct. GA sheriff S
posse put forcible end early today to
the l6-hour sitdown strike Of ]. G.
Stafford, itinerant steeplejack, on the
Madison County courthouse dome here.
Stafford climbed the f1agpole on the
dome, $50 feet above the public square,
yesterday morning and shouted to
spectators below that he would stay
there until county commissioners
agreed to pay $50 they owed him.
This morning Deputy Sheriff Fred
B. Gossett and five helpers slipped up
on Stafford as he rested, half asleep,
inside the steeple just beneath the
dome. He had moved down from the
pole shortly after midnight.
They seized him and carried him
down to his automobile trailer dwell
ing. He made no effort to go back to
the courthouse.
On the flagpole. Stafford ate only
q lunch he had taken up with him
He tossed notes down to his son and
climbed up and down a flag rope.
He told onlookers commissioners had
paid him $3.50 for painting the court
house dome and clock last June and
then at their request he had given
$3.50 of it back as a Democratic CAM
paign contribution
In return for this, he said, they
promised they would give him more
work. He claimed they hadn't lived
up to their promise.
Commissioners called his claims
"preposterous." They said he had got
the $3.50 his contract called for and
had kept all Of 1t. County Auditor
John J. Reddington showed Cancelled
check to prove Stafford had been paid.

FOREIGN AGENTS
RUSH TO REGISTER
DeadIine for Compliance
With New U. S. Law
Falls Tonight.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A flood Of last-minute registrations
Of agents Of foreign governments
poured into the State Department
today as the deadline-midnight to-
night-approached for complying with
the law passed at the last session
Of Congress
Under the law, foreign agents must
register with the State Department
They are required to give their COM
pensation, the nature Of their en-
ployment, the name Of the foreign
principal employing them. and to
supply copies Of their contracts or
articles Of incorporation.
The penalty for noncompliance is
q fine Of $1,000 or imprisonment for
not more than two years, or both.
Joseph Green, chief OF the division
which is taking the registration, said
so many had come in at the last
minute that he had had to increase
his staff to handle them.
Despite this rush, officials said in
dications were that the deadline would
arrive with many persons who should
have registered not having done 50.
Toward the end of the week, or
early next week. the State Depart
ment will begin making the registra-
tions open to the public, as the law
requires.
The debate in Congress when the
law was enacted indicated most legis-
lators had in mind chiefly gaining
control over the undercover and prop
aganda agents Of foreign governments,
or other foreign principals.
State Department officials said q
strict Interpretation OF the statute
required many others to register,
however, and indicated a great ma
jority OF the registrations fell into
this latter class.
Many American advertising agen-
cies, which regularly, or even OCCASION
ally, place advertising for foreign gov
ernments or foreign Arms have had to
register.
The State Department sent letters
to we'll over 1000 persons presumed
to come within the scope of the act.

JUNEAU BOYS SAVE LIFE OF
 FISHER M AN
M. Lundstrom Hauled from Water by Elroy Hoffman
 and Eugene Caruthers

Quick thinking and action on the part of Elroy Hoffman, 13, son of Assistant Chief of Police Roy Hoff- man, and Eugene Caruthers, 12, son of Fritz Caruthers, probably saved the life of M Lundstrom, Juneau fisherman. early last evening.
 Lundstrom was walking down the slip at the City Wharf and accideu- tally stepped over the edge, plung- ing into the water The two boys, who were near by, ran down on the slip and grabbed Lundstrom as he came to the surface and with the assistance of men who gathered about pulled him up on the slip. He was taken to the hospital where it was reported today that with the exception of some water in his lungs, Lundstrom was in good shape and would be around again shortly He and his son. Oscar Lundstrom, live aboard their small boat near the dock.

Official Tells
 Of CCC Activity
 In Northern Area
Harold Smith of Forest Service Back from Ex-
 tended Trip to Interior

Completing a six weeks inspec- ton of CCC activities, Harold E. Smith. Administrative Assistant for the Forest Service, returned to his Juneau headquarters Sunday after noon by PA plane from Fairbanks.
 Leaving Juneau by Forest Service boat July 13, MT. Smith, proceeded to Seward, inspected projects in the Chugach National Forest, and then by rail and plane to Anchorage, Fairbanks, Nome, and Kotzebue.
 Work at Cordova and Seward is slightly behind schedule, due to ab- sorption of the labor supply in commercial industries, he said. An chorage is operating on full quota of forty-five men. Work there con- sists of recreational development at Lake Spenard, installation Of a water main for the airport, forest fire suppression, road construction, and other related activities.
 Fairbanks has a forty-man crew erecting a permanent. camp, extend ing the runways at the airport, and carrying on a campaign of forest fire control.
 Work at kOtzebue
 The Kotzebue division has oper- ated with an average of about one hundred enrollees during the past year, although the present enroll ment is somewhat below that figure due to mining and other. seasonal activities. A great deal of valuable work has been done in the Kotze- bue section to improve living con- ditions in the villages, to promote air transportation and facilitate handling reindeer on the ranges. Village improvements have included drainage ditcheS, community wells, public buildings, and street i'm provements. Improvements h e been made to the landing fields at Point Hope, Kivalina, and Kotze- bue, by lengthening the runWays and smoothing up the surface A new landing field, 1,20O feet long, is under construction at Noatak village Range improvements in clude handling corrals, erection of trail markers and construction of shelter cabins for use of herders and trappers.
 Another class of work which is
The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-08-23

under way in the Kotzebue section, and which is rather unique, is the construction of cold storage vaults in several of the principal villages. These are made by excavating large chambers in the frozen tundra. The site selected is usually bank or hillside The storage chamber is placed considerable distance under ground, and is entered by means of a tunnel. Ventilation is provided by vertical shafts reach ing to the surface Both the tunnel and shaft are closed during the summer to prevent thaWing. Some of these chambers are in solid ice while others are in frozen muck. The purpose is for storing meat and other perishables and should prove of considerable value to the communities.
 After Predatory Animals
 Another class of work which the eco is doing in the Kotzebue di- vision is a campaign of predatory animal control directed at the wolves and coyotes which are men acing the reindeer herds. An expert trapper is employed in conjunction with the Biological Survey, and he is giving instructions to the natives in methods of trapping While this work is still in the experimental stage, it has apparently more than doubled the number of wolves kill ed as compared with former years. It is also credited with a notice able increase in this years lawn crop.
 No CCC work has yet been at tempted in the Nome section, and there are very few idle men there, MT. Smith said. Mining activities seem to be on the up-swing there, and the people rather optimistic as to future developments. Several promising quartz properties are be- ing opened and are adding to the general welfare. Lack of rain had somewhat retarded placer opera tions, but this situation was relieved by recent rains. Placer mining has been reyolutionized considerably in recent years by introduction of new machinery, especially the bulldozer which has proved very effective means of removing overburden. To

COUNCIL TURNS DOWN BARAN0F HOTEL PROPOSAL
Unanimously Approves Re- quest Made by Gross
 Building Contractor

The City Council at specially called meeting last night rejected the proposed amendment to the building code which would have per .nitted A. w. Quist contractor for the Baranof Hotel, to use plaster board instead of plaster in its ln- side walls and approved an amend ment to the same code which per mits laminated construction in stairways instead of concrete, a con- cession which had been asked by A. J. Dishaw, contractor on the new Gross Theatre building.
 The amendment affecting the Baranof was defeated by vote of five to one on a negative motion made by Councilman Henry Messer- schmidt and seconded by Council man Oscar Harri after a motion to adopt by Councilman Ralph BeiSt- line was lost for want of a second Voting with Messerschmidt and Harri in defeating the proposed amendment were Councilmen c. E. Krause, John Mccormick and Sam Feldon. Beistline supported th e amendment.
 All the Councilmen voted in favor of the stairway amendment which affects the Gross building.
 There was virtually no discussion.
 Mayor Harry I. Lucas announced that the committee appointed to consider revisions in the building code had an informal meeting be- fore the Council meeting and de- cided to go over the code section by section during the next few weeks. N. Lester Troast, architect. was named chairman of the committee and he announced a meeting of the committee would be called next week to start consideration of the code.
