HOUSE VOTES INCREASE FOR
 ALASKA ROADS
Dele gate Dimond Over comes Objections to Pro-
 posal and Wins Out
By J. J. ECKLES
,cretary to Delegate Dimond

secretary 70 Detegute OIHtOUu
 WASHINGTON, May 9.-(Spec- cial Correspondence) When the bill to amend the Federal Aid Road Act, which authorizes appropria- tions for construction of forest high roads, and trails, was considered in the House May for amendments, Delegate Dimond offered and secur- ed the insertion of an amendment in the bill to increase the amount authorized for expenditure on for est roads in Alaska from $400,000 to s500000 for each of the fiscal years beginning July 1, 1889, and July l, 1940.
 Spirited objection was voiced in the House toward increasing the funds that would be available for the Territory, but in the debate that followed the Delegate pointed out that Alaska residents pay the same Federal taxes, including that on gasoline, which residents in the States pay; that $6O0,000 could well be used in keeping up the road building program that has been fol- lowed in Alaska during the past four years, and that the Territory was in every way entitled to $500,000 at the very least. Calling attention to the great resources available for development in Alaska, but which require roads for that development, and emphasizing that he was not asking for favors but only for what the Territory is rightfully entitled to. he said
 Ut would be out of character for this House to refuse to agree to the amendment. The House would be justified and warranted in granting a much larger sum. am not asking for generosity but for justice, and so. judging by past experience, and remembering the desire of the Mem bers of this body to deay justly and fairly on all occasions with all of it's - = =.

Shields, of the cod fisher Sophie Christensen, now in Bering Sea, to combat the reported invasion of the Japanese fisher men.
 Shields declined to reveal how the rifles and the ammunition will be sent north, saying he feared if it was known they might be seized.
 William flicker. Secretary of the Alaska Fishermens Union commen- ded the action and said: We won't fool around any longer with this Japanese situation. The fishermen are angry and will take action to drive the Japanese out. Our men are going north and will be ready for action
 The La Merced, the Alaska South ern Packing Company's floating cannery, is posted to sail during to- day and company officials said they have not been appraised of the new difficulties and as far as they knew the La Merced will carry no arms.
 flicker said the Union has heard that Is Japanese craft are within eight miles of the American shore and making trips to shore when no one is looking"
 The action of Shields in announc- ing sending of rifles and ammuni- tion to the north, followed receipt of the following radiogram from his brother, Capt. E. Shields:
 "Bering Sea is covered with Jap- anese fishing boats and nets north of the Black Hills and there are no cutters around. We have a God-giy- en instinct to shoot straight. Ship one dozen high powered rifles ana plenty of ammunition.
 Capt. Shields also asked that the same armament be sent to the com- pany's schooner Charles R. Wilson.

HUNGARY ORDERS
VETS RECRUITED
Government Is Preparing
to Press Its Claims in
CzechosIovakia.
BY the Associated Press.


BUDAPEST, Oct. 4-Numerous war
veterans more than As years old had
orders to report to the nearest army
recruiting station today as the Hun
garian government pressed dts claims
to Hungarian minority territories OF
CzechoSlovakia.
The requisition Of certain raw ma
terials and orders prohibiting the ex-
ports Of metals, textiles, chemicles and
leather were made known today, ap-
parent indications that Hungary was
preparing for all eventualities.
While the foreign Office awaited
Prague's answer to a note in which
the immediate beginning of negotia-
tions for the return Of Hungarian ter
ritories was asked, cabinet meeting
was called for this afternoon to de-
eide what measures should be taken
should Czechoslovakia refuse to COM
ply with Hungarian demands.
Terror" Declared Increasing.
Newspaper reports of increased
Czech terror" angered Hungarians
meanwhile. Mass meetings in various
parts Of Hungary demanded immediate
occupation of Czechoslovak territory
inhabited by 800, 1000 Hungarians.
The government handed Czecho-
slovakia a new note last night asking
negotiations at once and requesting
guarantees that the discussions would
be conducted in "the right at
mosphere" to assure quick solution.
Some newspapers declared Czecho-
slovak Legionnaires plundered and
burned numerous Magyar-inhabited
villages in Southern Czechoslovakia.
(The reports lacked confirmation
from other sources)
Dispatches from Bratislava said
eight Hungarian-speaking recruits
were shot there for insubordination.
Food Seized BY Army.
Travellers reaching Budapest from
the Hungarian minority district of
Komorom, near the Danube, said some
suffering was experienced by farmers
and worker% there, chiefly because
massing OF troops along the border re-
suited in inadequate food distribution
1t was said potatoes and grain were
largely requisitioned. for the army.
The travellers said they saw no indi-
cation that the Czechoslovak army in
tended to leave these so-called purely
Hungarian districts, as the Hungarian
government demanded, "uncondition-
ally and Immediately"
Reports from the Hungarian side of
the Danube said Czechoslovak troops
had reinforced barbed wire lines along
the border and that additional war
equipment was being brought up
Concrete walls were reported being
built as protection against tanks on
highways connecting Czechoslovakia
and Hungary.
Freedom Promised Soon.
Premier Bella 1mredi and other
cabinet members assured the nation
that Hungarian minorities would soon
be free from the Czech yoke"
The foreign Office press chief said
no indication had come from Prague
as to when minority negotia tons would
start, but he added that the govern
ment was convinced Prague would
agree to begin the discussions within
two or three days.
A foreign Office map showing loca-
tions of Magyars in Slovak territory
in 1910 indicated some 5000 square
miles were populated then by Magyars.

Many in the audience had been pres
ent at the Sudeten party convention
in April and recalled that Henlein at
that time was content to ask only that
the Sudentens be given full autonomy
in the Czechoslovak state and the
right to practice their NaA beliefs.
Today they saw in Hitler the incar-
nation of their dream come true
union with Germany.
The streets before the theater where
he spoke briefly were jammed with
enthusiastic Sudeten Germans, gath
erer to welcome their Fuehrer.
On an elevation behind the theater
stood an honor guard of black-shirted
S. S. men, the elite guard, and army
detachments which had preceded Hit
Ter into the city.
The Fuehrer reviewed the troops and
then, escorted by Sudeten Leader
Konrad Henlein, went to the balcony
of the theater, which was richly gar
landed with flowers and covered with
Swastika flags.
Unity of All Reich Is Goal.
Hitler's central theme was an ad-
monition for everybody to put aside
anything that might cause a rift in
the unity of the German people and
for all to deepen the sense of COM
munity spirit.
Millions of Germans, he said, shared
the fate of the Sudeten Germans.
He then dwelt upon measures to be
taken Immediately to alleviate the
depression in the Sudeten areas.
At the conclusion of his brief ad-
dress the crowd sang Deutschland
Uber Allies" and the Horst Vessel
song, while the Fuehrer remains on
the balcony bowling and giving the
Nazi salute.
Before he spoke, the local Nazi lead
er thanked him for bringing about
the union of the Sudeten regions with
Germany.
