SITK A REPORTS
PROGRESS MADE
IN SEAL SALE
Proceeds to Alaska Tuber-
culosis Association
Forwarded

A gratifying report OF progress
made in the tuberculosis Seal sale
at Sitka is found in a letter received
from Mrs. Josephine Hodgins, seal
sale chairman at Sitka, to Mrs. j.
c. Thomas, assistant seal sale
chairman of the Territory. The sale
netted total of S128, substantial
increase over the proceeds from the
sale of a year ago.
Mrs. Hodgins pays special tribute
to the Sitka Won.an's Club, which
bought $40 worth of the seals for
its own distribution; to Mrs. Louise
Mills, a club member VINO assisted
her with the house to house canvas
in the residential and business sec
ton of the town, to w. Leslie Yaw
W. nandieQ Une uIotilDuvlon lor &C
Sheldon Jackson School, and Mr..
Wolfe who was in charge of the work
in the native village.
Typical of the many reports that
have come in during the past month
from various towns in Southeast AL
aska, Mrs. Hodgins' letter shows the
general spirit of cooperation that is
being manifested toward Alaska Tu-
berculoSiS Associations efforts to
provide funds for that program of
early diagnosis and education for
the treatment of the disease in its
early stages.
Juneau, however, Mrs Thomas re-
ports, has been somewhat slower
than the other towns in the Division
in its response to the requests of the
association to purchase the seals
She urges all Juneau people to send
in their remittances to Treasurer
Guy McNaughton at the B. M Ben
rendS Bank as soon as possible.
Checks and money are acceptable
at any time during the year, at
course, but the association would
like to secure as big return as pos
sible this month SO that definite
guage for future expansion of its
program may be made
Six young people, most of them
of high school age, are now hos
pitalized in various tuberculosis SAN
itariums in the south at the present
time all of whom were in the ad-
vanced stages of active tuberculosis
when their condition was diagnosed.
-Four more from Juneau and vicinity
have laid down their lives to the
dread disease within the past three
or four years, simply because the
program for early diagnosis and
training for proper treatment in
tie home, was not started earlier,
she points out. Even one of these
young men or women is too high a
price to pay. Your dollar will help
prevent similar thing happening tc
other young people. Don't fail to
cooperate" Mrs. Thomas urges, "fol
every possible contribution is urg-
emily needed if the association is UC
continue to function effectively"

MRS. MOODY IS OUT OF TOURNEY Danish Tennis Star Beats Her Mrs. Fabyan Also Loses
 

London, June 17-(UP)-MrS. Hel- en Wills Moody of California met her second defeat of her comeback campaign when she was eliminated today by Mrs. Hide Sperling of Denmark in the semi-f1nals of the Queen club tennis championships. Scores were 8-6, 6-2.
 In the other semi final Jadwiga Jedrzejowska of Poland defeated Mrs. Sarah Palfray Fabyan of Brookline, Mass, 6-3, 6-2.
 Mrs. Moody was completely out- played today. She never seemed to have her usual pufch or accuracy. She double -faulted twice to lose the first game and after that Mrs. Sper- ling settled down to her usual hum- drum driving rallies. During the earlier rallies Mrs. Moody was the steadied player, but her shots lacked fire.
 Mrs. Babyan seemed lost against Miss Jedrzejowska defending cham pion. She was helpless against Miss Jedrzejowska's powerful service and her cross court forehand drives. With these the Polish star who was runner-up to Anita Lizana of Chile in last years United States cham pionship, mixed well disguised set of backhands and angled drop shots.
 Mrs. Fabyan overdrove and often made the error of running the wrong way.

the six machines required elaborate procedure, the board, per Commis- sioner Goss, Mayor Frank Hayes and Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor, all for the proposal, but agreed that the rental and freight, about $815, should be paid for out of the current budget, rather than held as an obligation for next year, as proposed by the registrar.
 Interest of the board was evoked by Registrar Faller,s tabulation of the number of voters in each of the recently ~set-up g districts, (sub- ject to any changes caused by the recanvass, of courSe). Mostly, the districts keep the voter totals be- low the 1900 mark.
 (See table accompanying this re- port)
 While Controller Sherwood L.. Rowland, when asked to devise method of payment of the rental and freight. suggested transfers to be made after Sept. l and charged against next year, Commissioner Goss moved that the matter be paid out of a new item in the registrars office after Sept. l, and directed the controller to obtain contract with the machine company whereby the rental may be applied against

 ANTI-JEWlSH WAR
Foreign Embassies Con= cerned Over Latest Out-
 breaks in Berlin

Berlin, June 17-(UP)-Foreign embassies and legations, fearing that interests of their nationals might be involved, watched closely today 8 series of developments which in- dicated that Nazi Germany was embarked on 8 big scale anti Jewish drive.
 Every aspect of Jewish life was now involved in campaign, con- ducted by ordinary police, uni- formed storm troopers, and Nazis in civilian garm, which brought new terrors to the Jewish population and new concern to foreign inter- ests.
 Anxiety over the Jewish situa- ton was increased by the new prob- lem of Austrian foreign debts as the result of a speech by Walther Funk, econom;cs minister. repudiaitng German responsibility for payment.
 Foreign concern centered: CD in the recent decree compelling Jews, German and foreign, to register all their holdings in excess of 5000 marks ($2,OO0); (2) 8 decree yes- terday ordering 8 special register of Jewish firms and authorizing the economies minister to prescribe that all Jewish shops should be identified as such; (0 the problem of debts owed by Austria at the time of its absorption by Germany.
 But to Jews themselves, the cam paign took on more and more the aspect of that which followed the Nazi accession in 1883.
 Ghetto benches" appeared for the first time yesterday in central Berlin. A passerby saw workmen painting on benches provided for pedestrians under the shade trees between the cathedral and the for mer royal palace the words "Not for Jews" On two benches the workmen painted: "Only for Jews" troopers made raids in the central

 The board of aldermen sent word that they did not authorize addi- tional expenditures" in setting up of the 32 districts, as Commissioner Goss was understood to have com- mented at the earlier meeting. Mayor Hayes remarked that the board of aldermen had been going around in circles" over the re-districting proposal for many months before the new zoning was established by the commission he appointed. He expressed himself in favor of the g districts as insurance that every voter will have his chance to vote, a matter which was pointed out as problematical in some past instances in crowded districts.
 Commissioner GoSs pointed to the added expense of the 32 districts, in terms of elections, and said: '"The public should be informed that this increase of the voting districts means that elections will cost from $15,000 to $20,000 more each year. was not opposed to B districts but, as member of the board of finance, felt the city should know what the cost would be and where the money is coming from.H "The easier it is for people to vote, the better it is for everyone" |" Mayor Hayes commented. T have always been in favor of an increase in the voting districts"
 Additional Matters
 Additional affairs attended by the board included the recommendation of transfer after Sept. 1, of funds from the registrars office to that of Town Clerk Mary c. Kilmartin to provide for election expense. 1,200; provision for $1,000 for additional salary for the year for Mechanic Harry Leary, who has completed 35 machines and has 25 more to ad- just; request of the corporation counsel that he consider the pro- posal of the controller to sell $73, 1000 in bond issues. dating back to 1881 in one instance, and report at the next meeting; recommendation that drastic measures be taken to col- lect delinquent taxes, both personal and real; that the matter of collec- ton of $1,159 for erection of wall along property of Charles A. Babin on Canal street, be referred to the tax collector.
 In the matter of the sale of bonds, Mayor Hayes said that his opinion was that the $28.000 item of Tomp- kins street pumping station bonds was not correctly estimated and that cost of the project was nearer $50,- 600. Accountant Purcell whispered to the controller and the latter then remarked that he couldn't tell about the matter as many of the city records are missing"
 | The commissioners recommended that the city engineers records be reconstructed so as to show the &C., tual costs and the corporation coun- sel will report next Thursday con- cerning that matter and the proce- dure in sale of two other small is- sues, the abattoir and Washington Park Community House bonds.

 The calm of summer fell on this political cockpit. But the battles continue on hundred election fronts.
 Garner and a group of old line Democrats are judged now to be out of sympathy with some of MT.

Roosevelt himself, short- ly, will embark on a transcontinen- tai journey dipping deeply into po- ltical waters from coast to coast.
 The battle is one to determine the factional and party complexion of the new Congress. It foresha- dows the 1940 struggles between conservatives and liberals for con- trol of both the Republican and Democratic nominating conven- tions.
