Whittier Back a. From Customs
 Trip to Interior
Official Reports Fairbanks and Anchorage on
 the Boom

After a several weeks trip through the Interior and Westward on cus- toms office inspection, Assistant Collector of Customs M. s. Whittier returned to Juneau on the Mount Mckinley. The official went in by way of Skagway and Whitehorse flying to Dawson and Eagle and then visiting at Fort Yukon, Fair banks, Nenana, Anchorage, Sew ard, Valdez and Cordova.
 Fairbanks and Anchorage are on the boom, MT. Whittier reported With mining in full swing, Fair banks is a beehive of activity, he said. The town is full of people, new buildings are going up and gener- ally a prosperous situation prevails, At Anchorage, the new hospital cons \Iction is going forward, as well as on the grade school, but the latter will not be ready for occu- pancy until mid term. The official was in Anchorage when the $85, 900 cleanup came in from the Good news Bay district and he saw the display of platinum and gold on the sidewalk. Hundreds of people around looking at it and nobody worrying about it being stolen, he reported.
 He visited the Matanuska Colo ny for the first time and expressed himself greatly impressed with the progress being made there. The farm colony is beautiful sight, he said, with excellent buildings and excel lent roads. The farms look fine and he saw some of the fine garden produce which is raised in the val ley and sold along the rail belt
 The official reported the new hotel in Mount Mckinley National Park nearing completion It is ex- pected to be ready for tourist travel next season, he was told

TURNS DOWN 1 DEPORTATION
 OF BRIDGES
Secretary of Labor Refuses to Hold Hearings as
 Demanded
HOUSE INVESTIGATORS
 ARE GIVEN COLD REPLY
Declares. Committee Is Try-
 ing to Usurp Govern ment Functions l12

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3l-Chair- man Martin Dies, of the House Committee investigating unAmeri- can activities, has received from Secretary of Labor Perkins, blunt rejection of the committees demand for immediate deportation hearings against Harry Bridges, CIO cheftain ion the Pacific Coast.
 Chairman Dies said the Secretary of Labor termed the demand as an attempt to usurp the duties of the Executive Department. Secretary Perkins wrote: 'g'The ifaet that Communists are unpopu- lar, and l agree in this, does not justify us placing within that cate Egory every other unpopular person, [ nor in deporting them without scru- hpulous regard to the due process of law to clear certain rulings by Courts as to the facts in the case. Perhaps it is unfortunate that Shirley Temple was born an Ameri- can citizen. 's -' '
 We do not have to debate this issue. It has raised preposterous revelations in your regard for this innocent likeable child"
 Chairman Dies said the Secretary of Labor has taken astonishing action in practically dropping" the deportation proceedings He also said it was laughable for the Secre- tary to complain the Committee is trying to usurp Government func- tions.
 Relative to the Shirley Temple reference, Chairman Dies said the committee witnesses testified that the child actress was being used for Communist propaganda and that many film actors were also known to be members of the Communist Party, but why reference was made to those cases in the Bridges issue, also creates a laugh.

 But he's obviously pleased and his gray eyes snap when he says, '"The American people can exercise their rights as American citizens to band together to hire doctors as they wish.
 "The economics of paying those doctors is something with which the American M edica Association should have no concern. They're trying to stifle this thing because it offers them real competition"

 By banding together in group, he says, middle class people can hire several doctors and get the advantage of a well equipped clinic which most physicians can't afford. It also brings together several spe- cialists, he contends, which ordinary people can't afford to pay and gives those specialists the advantage of consultation. And because members get constant attention, he says, they avoid emergency illnesses

BRIDGE BUCKET
WAS RETURNED
ONE OF THREE THAT HAVE
BEEN TAKEN AWAY IN
PAST FEW WEEKS

Reappearance of one of the
buckets which were recently re-
moved from the rack on Gandolfo
Bridge, has aroused in the minds
of patrolling officers that fear of
consequences may have been the
motive actuating the return of the
container.
Three of the buckets have been
reported. missing within the past
few weeks, and Saturday night it
was noticed that the one had
been returned. Deputy Sheriff
Nathan Niles noticed the space
which had been empty on the
bucket rack was filled.
Investigation showed it to be
one of the missing containers, but
it was minus the rope which had
been attached to use the bucket
quickly in case of necessity
There are still two vacancies in
the racks.
