REC Re-commence Finance Mining
 Development

WASHINGTON, Feb. g CPD- The Reconstruction Finance Cor pOratien, acting cn a request from President Roosevelt. announce d it would resume financing of sound mining ventures.
 These will be the first mining loans since discontinuance of the REC activities last October, and will probably be issued during the forthcoming few days, off cia,s said.
 Morton Mccartney, chief of the REC division of mining, said that at least thirty applications for fin ancial aid, were now on hand.
 Loans may be made he said, only to gold, silver, platinum and tin properties. As in the past there will bz two classes of loans avail able for development.
 Loans are limited by law to twenty thousand dollars, financ- ed from 8 capital of ten million dollars. There is no limit to the placing of operating that loans rlus' be made on.
 Going" properties are sufficient to merit and saa-d gcoa security, .Megartney said.
 Mineral and financial operations gf the REC in the past have been
 highly satisfactory. Several good loans have been mad ii Alaska" he said. He cited the Coed News Bay Mining Company which he said had borrowed SIX hundred thousand dollars to op- crate platinum property, Operat- ing little over month last year in November, eighty thousand doll ars were recovered. Mccartney said this was far more than was expected in such a short time.
 He also mentioned the Alluvial Colds Inc, of Alaska, which has paid back one hundred thousand of two hundred and eighty thou sand dollar loan, in one season.
 He declared there were two oth- CT small developments in Alaska on which no payment has been made todate.

Board of Directors Elected Meeting
 Meme (. of (.

With more than seventy busi- ness men and interested citizens present 9, the Annual Meeting and luncheon of the Northwest ern Alaska Chamber of Com merce, at the Nevada Grill, a new board of directors was elect ed for the ensuing year, consist ing of the following:
 G. R. Jackson, A. Polet, Dr. Thomas Morcom, Guy F.. Mish, Emerson Basset, Edward Seiden- verg and B. J. McConaghy.
 The members present decided to hold buainess luncheons twice monthly on the first and third Wednesdays of each month.
 Guy F. Mish, a member of the Board oficiated as Chairman of today's meeting The minutes of the previous meeting wsre read, accepted and then Chairman Mish allei upon Senator O. D. Cochran, who is a Vica president of the Territorial Chamber, to evn'ain the workings and infiu- enee If that body, and Wha. good can ba accomplish d by such unit cd and representative action.
 Senator Cochran cited numer- ous occasions when the Territor- ;al Chamber had gone to bat" for tle bet rment of the Terri
 ory as a whole, and how the vial connections with the States are maintained.
 Hitting at the high cost of liv- ing in Nome and this section, he compared the increasing high prices being charged here, with the Kotzebue Sound district. Re ferring expressly to the cost of coal, he declared: At Kotzebue, where it is necessary to lighter approximately 16 miles, and with no facilities for docking except the beach, ton of coal costs to the public, $23.50, whereas at Nome it costs $3O0O".
 He laid the question of win ter population in Nome squarely before the merchants and busi- ness interests of Nome, claiming that they permitted the cost of living to increase, charging that ''high freight rates and lighter age rates were merely passed on to the consumer, thereby increas- ing the cost of living and forcing the gainfully-employed popula- ton to winter in the states where it was cheaper during the period of winter unemployment" He declared: Despite the fact that the Federal government has furnished hundreds of thousands of dollars to provide harbor and landing facilities at Nome, design ed to hold down the excessive costs of living, the freight and hghterage rates have steadily in- creased"
 MT. Cochran said that these two points were of vital interest as subjects to be dealt with by the Northwestern Alaska Cham ber of Comm:,rce. Upon the con- fusion of his speech, he received loud applause.
 Judge J. H. s. Morrison, when called upon for few remarks, praised the policy and actions of the N. w. A. Chamber of Con- merce, pointing out that to this body, receiving united support, went all of the credit for obtain ing influence and results for de- velop1nent of this section; and that if it didn't accept all of that credit, he guessed "the Democra-

"SCARFACE" HISTORY
"Scarface," which the Little
Theater will show in revival, be-
ginning Friday, was the subject
of a long dispute before it was
first released in Washington.
The police department set
themselves up as censors, and
before "Scarface" could get an
official go" sign, it had to
snip out a few bits that offended
the Washington constabulary.
"Scarface," with Paul MUM as
its menace, could not pass to
days strict production code. 1t
also has the distinction Of being
the picture which made George
Raft star.
