 RESUMPTION IS
 NOW DEMANDED
House Investigation Com mittee Seeks Revival of
 Deportation, CIO Chief

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Chair- man Martin Dies of the House Committee Investigating unAmeri- canism, today demanded that Sec retary of Labor Perkins resume de- portation procee dings at once against Harry Bridges, CIO chief tain on the Pacific Coast.
 Your file discloses a number of dispositions of witnesses who have testified that Harry Bridges is a member of the Communist Party" " Martin has written to the Secre- tary of Labor after studying the La- bor Department records.
 Your files also disclose that am pie evidence that the Communist Party in the United States adVo- cates and teaches the overthrow of the United States Government by force and violence" says the let ter.
 Postponement Unjustified
 Continuing, Chairman Dies says: We find no justification in post poning the case as delay might place witnesses out of reach, if this has not already happened"
 The proceedings against Bridges were suspended by the Department of Labor April 20, pending a Su- preme Court ruling in the case in yolving Joseph Strecker, of Hot sasiras.s Ark. Immigratiof Conmis- sfoner James Houtelling said the de- cision might prevent Bridges de- portation.
 One Courts Decision
 The New Orleans Circuit Court stopped the deportation of Strecker on the grounds the law does not forbid aliens to belong to the Com munist or any other party except one which teaches the overthrow by force or violence of the Govern ment of the United States.
 Dies said R. P. Bonham, Immi- grafton Director at Seattle, protest ed against the suspension of the case but has been reprimanded by Houtelling on the ground that he was imperfect in his knowledge of the situation.

FRA IS SENDINC 6 MAN TO ALASKA TO MAKE SURVEY
Dimond Reports Represen- tative of Federal Agency
 Leaving Seattle Today
200 CORDOVA FAMILIES ANXIOUS FOR VENTURE
Delegate Believes Kenai Of- fers Possibilities for
 Expansion

Aid to Alaska farmers, with spe- cial emphasis on the possibilities of establishing a farm colony at Hom- CT on the Kenai Peninsula, is being considered by the Farm Rehabilita- tion Administration and H. E. Drew, representative of the FRA, is sailing from Seattle today on the steamer Baranof to make a survey in Alaska toward that end, according to Dele gate Anthony J. Dimond.
 The Delegate, who arrived in Juneau this morning aboard the steamer Columbia after several weeks in the Westward and Interior regions, said he received a message this morning from Walter A. Duffy, regional director of FRA in the northwest, stating that Drew was being dispatched to Alaska to con- duct the investigation and survey. The survey win cover farming gen. orally in the Territory as. Sgall--as the Homer proposal.
 Result of Mine Closing
 There are some 200 families at Cordova now who are considering moving to the Kenai Peninsula, the Delegate said, the result of being effected by the closing down of the Kennecott Copper Corpora ton operations there this fall. Most of them have been working on the Copper River and Northwestern Railroad and in the mine, he ex- plained, and now are confronted with the problem of making live lihood in some other way as the railroad closes down, as now plan ned. The Kenai district particularly in the vicinity of Homer, offers exception possibilities for farming, the Delegate said, and if the FRA should decide to give assistance 1t is possible the Cordova people could be helped to a new start in that region
 These people are up against It, v the Delegate said. They can't go Outside for jobs in the railroad industry because there aren't any jobs. They must adjust themselves as best they can. They see pos abilities in the Kenai and if assist ance can be given them it seems to me reasonable to believe they will make go of it.
 PWA Money to Alaska
 Commenting on assistance which already has been given Alaska and her people by the Roosevelt Admin istration, Delegate Dimond pointed out that more than six million dol lars had come into the Territory through the Public Works Admin istration. Many communities which were unable to get the improve ments they so badly needed through their own efforts have, with the help of PWA, obtained permanent improvements which go long ways toward Alaska development.
 Progress is being made by the native people he said. We have been able to work out hospital program which will do much toward wiping out tuberculosis. A hospital has been built at Point Barrow, another is under construction at Bethel, others are planned for Kan akanak and Panama"

FUNNY PHILATELY

So profitable is the business of selling to stamp collectors that the Department is thinking of talk ing truck load on transconti- mental tour to drum up business As one postman calculated, if a million people could be persuaded to start collecting stamps and in the course of time bought $10C worth each, that would be $100,- 000,0 900, almost clear profit = as long as they keep them in their collections. If they use them to send letters the profit is gone. It costs the Department all of the three cents to carry the letter. Ii all sounds sort of dreamy-eye to us, but then, we don't collect stamps.
 Anyway, the truck isn't going for while. There's hitch. Taking a million dollars worth of stamps across the country without an es- cort seems risky If an armed escort went along, it would eat up part of the profit. MT. Farley hasn't solved that one yet.
 Incidentally, the people who buy those $ stamps are bankers and movie companies. They plaster them on insured securities and on films being hurried about the country.

Crime Can Be Cultured:

By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Aug 30. - One of J. Edgar Hoovers highly prized possessions, in addition to the bull let proof vest of John Dillinger, is a letter from an earnest admirer who concluded long dissertation on crime by saying:
 After long study. have con- cluded that the best way to end crime is to outlaw it."
 Just as the Department of Jus tice presses its campaign to out law price-fixing and monopoly the Postoffice Department discloses, and boasts, that it does the neatest bit of profiteering in the land.
 For cents it can manufacture a sheet of 100 three cent stamps, sell them to a stamp collector and reap a clear profit of $2.93. It could profit even more if stamp collec- tors bought whole sheets of $5 stamps, which don't cost much more to print than the three cent CTS. But stamp collectors don't buy the costly ones wholesale.

Plane
Crashes On
Frisco Beach

San Francisco, CAL, Nov 29.-(AP)
"A luxury air liner was smashed 10
pieces on a rocky ocean beach near
here today after it had fought an 81
mile-an-hour wind en- route from Sea-
tie to Oakland, and finally was forced
down on the rough sea when its fuel
tanks ran dry.
The fate of the seven persons
aboard the United Air Lines 14-pas-
senger sky lounge was unknown sew
eral hours later. Huge waves had car
ried the craft rapidly to the rocky
shore. #&
Two figures later were sighted on
the beach by coast guardsmen and
people at the Point Reyes lighthouse,
who believed at least two aboard the
plane escaped death. Pilot Charles
Stead of Seattle radioed about 2:30
a. m. that he was in trouble, but still
knew where he was because the radio
beam was functioning to guide him
to Oakland. He said, however, he had
only twenty gallons of gasoline left,
enough for five minutes flight, and
would land on the ocean with wheels
up" or in retracted position to insure
as much safety as possible.

The 24-hour strike, called by the
powerful General Confederation of La
Dor, was scheduled to start at a. m.

In a report to President Lebrun,
Daladier said: Harmful propaganda,
of which the government knows both
the hidden goal and the inspiration,

laws of the republic, to create in the
country state of agitation, which
threatens not only to compromise pub
lie order, but to influence the exter-

The report said that if the present

certainly a readjustment of the most
serious magnitude" 1t said a solu-
ton might be found in these "basic
principles:
l. Compensation in some manner for
the farmer who buys in a protected
market and sells in free market; 2,
continued crop control until the pres
ent surplus is reduced; 8, elimination
of the loan and substitution of plan
to allow the farmer to sell his crop at

payments; 4, compensation for the
farmer if, in year of restricted acre
age, his crop is disastrously short;
