to Davis. According to Mayes, one
Louis Butler now claims ownership
of the land which has been used for
Is years without Davis knowledge.
Butler, says Mayes, gave the oil
company permission to drill on the
land, the result being that the Mus
low Oil company struck oil. In the
intervening years, the company sent
Davis only enough money to pay the
tayes.
Two years ago the company offer
ed Davis $4,000 for the property,
which he promptly refused. Then
they offered $3.50 per acre rental,
which he accepted. lie was paid the
amount stipulated for one year, but
has not heard from the company
since. Mayes said that Davis pa
pers showed the land was leased
with the privilege Of drilling for oil.
Learning of the company's dupli-
city, Davis left Immediately for
Shreveport to demand his rights as
owner of the property. Mayes said
the Shell Oil company, 6 million

itself in Davis behalf and will see
that his interests are protected.

sounds timely warning that our
group should be on guard to share

made possible by new Congressional
appropriations. The League says:
"The WPA has announced that it
soon will employ 100000 workers in

o equalize their incomes with those
Il farmers in other sections. Fear
ing that Negroes may not share
.quitably in the distribution of this
pecial allotment for the South, the
League urged that a demand be
made Immediately for fair deal in
his matter, so that some precau-
ions against discrimination will be
taken even before the program ac-
ailv goes into effect.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Mem- bers of the House Naval and Mih- tary Affairs committees will make thorough check this summer or the nations defense from Maine to the Panama Canal, to Hawaii and Alaska. The objective will be to ob- tain information to be used as a basis for future legislation to streng- then the weak spots.

 A subcommittee will make spec ial trip to Alaska with reference to military needs for locating air, des- troyer, submarine and mine bases there.

By MAURICE MERRYFIELD

NEW YORK, April 22.-Rumors have been going round that there's going to be another running of the dear old Kentucky Derby this year and that all the jolly colonels are getting their goatees trimmed for the event.
 Having made something for a tradition of trying to jam into Churchill Downs on Derby day, l shall probably have another go at it, regardless of the fact that one gets a stiff neck and rare set of corns attempting to barge through the crowd and get glimpse of the three-year-old doing their stuff.
 There is another formidable hurdle in the way of properly view ing the turf classic, and that is the obstacles put in your way on Derby eve in this metropolis of the Blue Grass country. Said handicaps consist of numerous well-meanin9 but misguided friends who appar- ently conspire to help one down the primrose path.
 Seriously, though, there are sev- eral interesting angles to the derby this year, one of them being the absence of any entry by Col. E. R. Bradley whose nags have copped four derbies and whose horses are always heavily backed by the native sons
 One of the reasons why the Cunnel will be merely another spectator is because he sold one of his most promising bets to Mrs Emil Denemark of Chicago. This candidate is named Blind Eagle and can really carry the mail by all reports, being able to pick them ul and lay 'em down both far and fast
 Fighting Fox Formidable
 All of which leads to the interest ing topic of whether a lady will own the derby winner this season Chances seem to be fairly bright for them because, in addition to the aforesaid Blind Eagle of Mrs Denemark's there are about a score of other promising bobtails owned by the fair sex.
 Mrs. Ethel V. Mars, one of the outstanding horsewomen of tn C country, owner of the big Milky Way Farms stable, has the fleet Tiger in the race as well as three other nominations-M Mountain Ridge Farrell and C-Note. Tiger flashed impressive form as two-year- and is picked by many to be up neal

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Peop:e who hurry about this city a great deal are apt to find short cuts and that is how we encountered the garden rake packed among diplo- matic bundles going to Albania.
 When you learn how, you can dodge into a tunnel under the State Department. go through swinging doors into the packing room in the basement and there find an elevator up to Secretary Hulls press conference It saves steps
 We were saving these steps when we passed by the odd-shaped crate containing the garden rake. If you should set out, with plenty of time and timber, to build crate to ship a garden rake all in one piece, handle and all, no doubt you would make crate just such. as this one.

 Alaska Projects
 Now Await Cash
Plans on Government Ap- proved List Include Pro-
 posed Juneau Library

Public works projects costing ap- proximately $900,000 are now on the approved list of the Public Works Administration for Alaska and would be in line for construction if the vast public works program now before Congress is approved and funds made available, according to Gov. John w. Troy, PWA Adminis- trator. In the majority of these projects cities costs have been ap- proved by bond election, Juneau with a project of $30,909 for lib- rary being an exception. The Juneau library project was approved more than a year ago by PWA but the city has taken no further action toward bond election which would be necessary to raise the citys share of the money, approximately half.
 Nine projects in all are now on the approved list. They include:
 Skagway, wood sidewalks, $17,818; Anchorage, paving, s95,o00; Juneau library, $30,909; Klawock, water system, $30,000; school buildings for Territorial schools, 6,336; Fair banks. municipal improvements, in- cluding sewer, cement walks and school buildings, $492. 900; Sitka sewer, $30.000; Ketchikan, public utilities. $30,540; Fairbanks, school building at University of Alaska $127.272.

MADRID THREATENED

HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish Bor- der, April 22-The fall of Madrid to the Spanish rebels was threat ened last night as the Insurgents pushed deeper into the city over an enfeebled Loyalist resistance.
 Late reports last night said the Insurgents had penetrated Madrid further than at any time since Nov ember 1856, when the Insurgent column rolled into the university city on the western fringe of it's limits
 However, according to Government dispatches today, Loyalists had the upper hand in man-poWer, almost two to one, and apparently had stemmed the Insurgent advance in eastern Spain.
 A late Insurgent communique spoke merely in terms of con- tinued advance down the coastal roads towards Castellon and De La Plana.

Determined Counter Thrusts of Chinese
 Breaking Lines
DRAGON FORCES GET
 SEVEN MORE TOWNS
Invaders Moving from One Section to Strength
 en Another

SHANGHAI, April 22.-Japan IS sacrificing much of the Hopeh Pro- vince area which she won early in the war.
 The sacrifice comes of the nec- essity to throw more troops into Central China on the widespread battlefront where Chinese counter thrusting has imperiled the Japan csc position in China as whole, according to military experts.
 The greatest concentration ot Chinese forces since the war began was noted in Central China and Chinese guerilla raids against Jap anese outposts have created a cri- tical situation for the Japanese.
 Fighting is centered in Southeast ern Shantung Province, along the Peiping- -Hankow and Suiyuan Rail- ways.
 Capture Seven Positions
 Chinese com m n d CTS today claimed the capture of seven towns in northern Honan Province where the Dragon forces have slashed at weak spots in the Japanese line.
 Although most of the towns taken were little more than hamlets, two cities captured were the fairly im- portant metropolii of Tisyuan and Menghien.
 Japanese forces resisted the Chin csc counter drive at every step, but are definitely out-maneuvered at this stage of the fight.
 If the Chinese can break through the Japanese line in few more places as they have done in the past few days" neutral official said today in Shanghai, "The Jap anese resistance will be reduced to a minimum and will leave them in perilous position for numerous Chinese flanking movements.
