WOULD KNOW
If COIN USED
FOR POLITICS
Two Staunch Administra-
ton Men Join Request
for Inquiry
3 OTHERS BEFORE
HAVE OPPOSED PROBE

WASHINGTON, June 8. CUP
Ten Democratic senator's asked
the senate today to authorize q
three-man committee to investi-
gate charges that relief funds are
being used for political purposes.
Senator Willard Tydings d.,
Md introduced the resolution
whcih was signed by nine other
senators. The proposed committee
would sit after congress adjourns
to hear complaints of politics in
relief, to subpoena witnesses and
documentary evidence, and to
recommend legislation to the next
congress.
TydingS co-signers, represent
ing many viewpoints in the New
Deal Democratic party, were Sem
ators William G. McAdoo of Cali
fornia, Walter F. George Of Geor-
gia, Edward r. Burke of Nebras-
ka, William H. King of Utah,
Alva B. Adams Of Colorado, Rob-
ert ]. Buckley Of Ohio, Robert F.
Wagner Of New York. Carl yA,t
Hatch Of New Mexico, and Peter
G. Gerry Of Rhode Island.
The resolution was an after
math Of unsuccessful attempts in
the senate last week to write into
the pending $s,722, 600, 900 recov-
cry bill q statutory restriction
against the use Of relief funds
for any political purposes.
The committee would be EN-.
powered to investigate any COM
plants that funds appropriated
for relief or work relief have
been issd .-foF political purposes,
Or that any pSrson paid from
these funds .s1S using OF has used
his Official position TO intimidate,
coerce, Or influence any recipient
of relief or work relief, or any
applicant for relief or work re-
lief, In q manner designed to af-
feet the results Of any primary,
political convention or election
held during the calendar year
1885,"
Although some Of the senator's
who signed the resolution are bit
ter critics Of New Deal policies,
Wagner, MeAdoo and Adams are
considered supporters Of the adj
ministration.
Their action came rs final re-
turns from Iowa's primary show
ed Senator Guy Gillette to be
overwhelmingly renominated over
Representative Otha D. Wearin.

Japs Wreck Air Raid
Alarm System; Buried"
Victims Cry for Help

CANTON, China, June 8. (UP)
japanese bombing planes today
cut power lines, silencing this
city's air alarm system and leav-
ing the people helpless against
their merciless attacks.
Great fires burned in the wes-
tern suburbs, rotting bodies lay
in the streets and in the ruins of
buildings from which came cries
of buried bomb victims.
The sickening stencil of death
was spreading over the city.
British Bluejackets today were
reported to have been landed in
the foreign areas on Shameen
Island as Japanese planes staged
new and devastating raids on this
great South China commercial me-
tropolis where more than 5000
civilians already have been killed

or wounded.
The U. s. gunboat Sacramento
was standing by below the city,
prepared to remove about zoo
Americans in the Canton area If
necessary. There was no indica-
ton, however, that Shameen
Island, which lies off the Chinese
city's waterfront, would be at
tackled owing to Japan's desire to
avoid friction with the powers.
From Is to 20 Japanese planes
raided the city twice yesterday
shortly after dawn and in mid-af-
ternoon.
The second raids, between 2:30
and a p. m, were the most disas-
trous and many government build
ings in the Saichuen residential
district were destroyed with great
loss of life. Villages on Honan
Island, opposite Shameen, also
were bombed and houses were set
on fire. Casualties in Honan were
estimated at more than 1000.
No Chinese planes appeared to
combat the Japanese.

WASHINGTON, June 8. (UP)
The right of Works Progress Ad-
ministrator Harry l.. Hopkins or
any other government official to
express his views on political con-
tests in state of which he is a
native was strongly defended yes
terday by President Roosevelt.
Striking out at newspaper and
congressional criticism that Hop
kins sought to "play politics with
human misery" when he stated
his preference for Representative
Otha D. Wearin, young New Deal
er, to Senator Guy M. Gillette, in
Iowa's Democratic senatorial pri-
mary race, the chief executive de-
scribed the agitation as a great
deal of smoke.
He told newspaper correspond
ents that dispatches criticizing
WPA influence in politics were
written for the purpose of pleas
ing newspaper owners. Further
more, he said, Hopkins merely
awaited himself of a prerogative

The COP. vote doubled that
cast by Democrats despite the
fact the primary was dominated
by the reported attempt of the
national administration to defeat
U. S; Senator Guy M. Gillette be-
cause of his opposition to the su-
preme court reorganization plan.
I Gillette was renominated by a
two-to-one margin over Represen-
tative Otha D. Wearin, youthful
congressman who received the en-
dorsement of Works Progress Adj
ministrator Harry L. Hopkins.
Republicans nominated Lester

Gillette, jubilant over his VIC
tory, issued statement today in
which he scored outsiders" for
interfering in the Iowa election.
He said:
II do not consider the results
of the primary as a personal vic
tory so much as l consider them
to be a rebuke administered by
the people of the state to a group
of outsiders who attempted to say
to the voters of Iowa whom they
should send to the United States
congress to represent them"
Dickinson said the results of
the primary showed that Iowa
citizens are now alert to protect

Dickinson served in the u. s.

 Instructions will start in about two weeks.

WHY NOT MORE ADVANCE NOTICE !.
Fairbanks NeWS-Miner)

Notice reached Fairbanks in the mail Sunday might to the effect territorial or state contributions made on and after that date by employers to the unemployment tax cannot be used as credit on the federal unemployment tax. In other words the taxpayer must pay the full federal tax without privilege of deducting his terri torial tax therefrom
 The notice came from the In- ternal Revenue Department at Washington. It was perhaps sent out in plenty of time to reach the various States but not the distant territory of Alaska.
 Apparently no exemption is made for Alaskans by reason of the fact they are so far away. They are subject to the disability because of no fault of their own. No allowance is made because of going into far possession to develop it.
 This handicap in respect to this particular tax is not the only one of it's kind. Numerous other in- stances of the kind may be cited in respect to various taxes.
 Washington seems never to thoroughly grasp the idea that many of the mails sent to Alaska are many weeks getting to their destination. The notice mention ed in the foregoing as reaching Fairbanks on the day the deduc- ton er1vilege exBired is yet trav- cling E the mails to the more re- mote parts of Alaska, and some of them will not reach destination for weeks, going as many do, by dog team mails or otherwise
 Every time new department IS set up or new heads named in Washington the old complaint and handicap is apparently un- willingly imposed on Alaska by not allowing sufficient time for transportation of mails.

 Why not a consistent general policy to allow Alaska two mon ths or so extra time. It will be but fair. Those in remote sec tions do not ask Do be exempt from doing their part under the laws but they are entitled to sui fcieDt time for the handling of the mails and should not be pen alized through no fault of their own.
