told the House of Commons today.
Britain, he said. was joining France
in concentrations to Berlin concern
ing possibility of a movement to alb

fore the World War, as a sequel to
Yesterdays elections for the local par
lament which resulted in a decisive
victory for Memel NaZis.
In reply to a question, the prime
minister said:
There is reason to think that after
the Memel election, demands may be
made upon the Lithuanian govern
ment by majority parties in the diet
which would be inconsistent with the
status Of Mcneil.
The British government, as sig
natory Of the Memel convention, can
not ignore this possibility.
in view of the special influence
which the German government is in
a position to exert in these matters
the British charge daffaires in Ber-

Washington, Dec. 12-(AP)-The
Supreme Court ruled today that a

tlonal privileges for white and Ne

ion in holding that the University Of
Missouri Law School must admit
Lloyd Gaines, st. Louis Negro, as q

Chief Justice Hughes delivered the
majority opinion that held Missouri,
in compelling Negro law students to
attend school outside the State, lad
violated the equal rights" provision
of the Constitution. -
Missouri provided that until q law
school for Negroes was developed in
the State, the tuition Of Negro law stu
dents should be paid at universities in
adjacent states.
"The question here" Chief JUS; .ce
Hughes said, "is not of duty of the
state to supply legal training, or of
the quality of the training which it
Goes supply, but of it's duty when it
provides such training to furnish it
to the residents of the State upon the
basis of an equality of rights.

Administration officials interpret

which had been advanced by some
farm leaders in a vigorous campaign.
They also expressed belief that the
cotton vote indicated that the farm

Germany Is Letting Up
In Persecution OF Jews

Berlin, Dec 12.-(AP)-Intimat
of a possible Slight let-up in the
severity of Nazi anti Semitic meas
ures was made public today in an Of
ffcial announcement distributed by
the German news agency DNB.
The statement said restrictions on
Jews entering hotels, restaurants and
Aryan-owned shops would be relaxed
after January 1, and reiterated that
no ghettos would be established.
In return, it was indicated, however,
the German government expects for
eign Jews to provide foreign exchange
for German Jews to emigrate.
Jews again are to be permitted the
use of almost all German restaurants
Henderson daily dispatch., 1938-12-12

and hotels, the announcement said.
The announcement declared that,
while there would be no ghettos, Jews
would be asked to move out of houses
owned by Gentiles and Gentiles from
houses owned by Jews, thus to avoid
friction. Individual acts against Jews
in the future are to be punished
severely, according to the announce
ment. All this, it was said, is not
change of the fundamental Nazi anti
Jewish policy, but merely change of
methods.
The determined purpose of the Nazi
regime was said, now as before to
be the elimination Of all except the
very oldest Jews from Germany.

 "A day or two ago received a cable from the American Press, asking my opinion on the settle ment of European war debts in- cured during the world war. replied with the suggestion that Great Britain be permitted to dis charge at least part of her obh- gation to the United States by granting US strip of rritory extending from the boundary of Washington to Alaskan soil for the construction of just such a highway as I have mentioned. As a result of that statement l have received a number of rnes- sages of commendation from lead ing citizens of the nation, and 1 hope that some such arrange ment may be made in the near future.
 Of course. a bill has already been passed, authorizing negotia- tions with Canada for the con- struction of this roadway, and the president has appointed committee, included on which are two Congressman from the State of Washington, and Dr. Greuning of the Department of Interior. No doubt the commit tee on territories and insular af- fairs. of which 1 am a menlb 1T will be consulted on the matter Such a road would furnish an other link to the great Pan-Am- erican highway, which will Stret. oh from Alaska to Argentina.
 T think that Nome is to be congratulated on its aggressive. ness and activity. Very few towns of two thousand popula. ton can boast of such fine build ings as your bank and federa building. That the Pan American Airways has a terminal here i. unquestionably a factor in tht development of the town.

Samuel Clements, inspector in the division of engineering in the territorial department of health, has been in Nome since the ar rival of the PAA Electra last Sat urday, on routine check-up tour. MT. Clements expects to return to Fairbanks and thence to his home office at Juneau on the PA plane this week.
 During his visit here he has inspected sixteen food establish ments and six barber and beauty shops, checked the various sour- ces of water supply, and investi- gated the methods of garbage aud sewage disposal. At the meeting of the health board Tues day evening, MT. Clements gave an interesting talk on environ mental sanitation.
 Says Mrs. Clements: Our de- partment is interested primarily in the alleviation of all public nuisances and the removal of all possible menaces to community health. Hence, many of our rules deal with matters which, while they are not actual menaces to community health, might develop into problems. This accounts in part for the fact that of the six teen food establishments exam ined, only four were satisfactory, and of the six barber and beauty shops. only four fulfilled the nec- essary requirements"

North Carolina Senator Tells of
 Trip to Barrow

Senator Robert Reynolds of North Carolina, who made the Point Barrow cruise aboard the USCG Cutter Northland, in an interview with the Nome Nugget, reports that he greatly enjoyed his Arctic journey, and had many thrilling experiences. At Barrow Senator Reynolds met Charles Brewer, the king of the Arctic, and at Wainwright, Captain Jim Allen, the king of Wainwright.
 At Wainwright he was invited to participate in walrus hunt, going out about 40 miles on the ice fields. The party killed Sev- enteen walrus, and brought down one with tusks thirty-two inches long. They shot about l2 walrus on one ice foe, and experienced a tense moment when the rest of the herd of 25 or 30 charged the frail skin boat. The animals were driven off by axes wielded by the natives, however, Ducks and seals were also bagged by the Senator during the trip.
 In addition to Barrow and W ainwright, the ship visited Pt, H pc. and all the other native villages and towns along the Arc tic coast. The vessel also cruiSed into Soviet waters, landing at Ueglen, sometimes mentioned as "Whalen" near East Cape, Siber- ia.
 MT. Reynolds remarked that never in his travels about the world has he encountered more friendly or a more basicly honest people than the ESkimos of Alas ka.
 Tt never fails to impress me" said Senator Reynolds, That for the absurd sum of S7,OOO,0OO, we purchased a land so rich in min eral wealth, in virgin tracts, with such beautiful scenery and fer tile agricultural possibilities, whose fisheries are unsurpassed by any in the world, land. in short, whose wealth is little short of miraculous.
 What Alaska needs is adver- tising, and it is up to the govern ment to build up the territory The tourists of America annually spend approximately S5,000, 900, 900, and there is no reason why Alaska should not come in for a good share of it.
 Another major problem in the development of the territory is the deficiency in transportation facilities. More and better steam ship lines are needed, with low ering of freight rates, and hence the cost of living in the territory. Roads, the modern arteries of civilization, are a great need. Be- fore anything else, Alaska needs a well-constructed and graded concrete road from Seattle to Juneau, the capitol of the terri

JUPITER-ELEVEN-MOON PLANET

If you look in the Southern evening
sky, the bright "star" that you see is
Jupiter, largest planet in the solar system,
about 500,000000 miles from the sun and
400,000,000 miles from the earth.
The great planet, with mass almost
three times as great as the combined mass
es of all the other planets, has been studied
by astronomers since Calico discovered its
four moons in 1910. Since then, other as
tronomers have discovered other moons
and now they are sure that Jupiter has no
less than eleven. 1t is possible that the
use Of larger telescopes will disclose other
moons.
Earle c. Slipher, of the Lowell OBJ
servatory, at Flagstaff, Arizona, recently
told astronomers of unprecedented disturb
ances on the planet Jupiter during recent
months While it has been known that a
characteristic of Jupiter is belts, or bands,
and that changes appear in them at in
tervals of several years, Mr.. Slipher re-
ports that from December of last year
until last month, the disturbances noted
surpassed any that he had seen in the past
thirty-two years.
We have no idea what causes the
spots to occur but it may be comforting to
the people on the earth to believe that the
world is not the only planet in the solar
system facing disturbances at the present
time.

About 200 members of the

their seventh Christmas tree last
evening at American Legion
Hall. The tree in its symmetry
and gorgeous illumination from
hundreds of bulbs blending my
Rad colors and tints of soft light
in its setting of national colors,
with a typical Santa Claus and
his horn, forming an enhancing
scene for all the little folk pres
ent and was a delight to the
groWn-ups as well. Every one
attending received gift or token
of some kind. Not a little tot
was disappointed. The gifts were
really worthwhile articles and
liberal in number. Mr.. Grooms,
manager for the Key West Elec-
trio Company, was the head of
the large family of employees who
had gathered there for their
regular Yuletide reunion and
Christmas tree. He made faith
erly talk and was loudly APP
plauded. He thanked the COM
mittee for the success of the tree
and the labor so cheerful rem
dered in making it beautiful as it
really was.

DUNCAN is HONORED

B. M. Duncan, whose brain conceived
the idea of building highway across the
water gaps between Bahia Honda and
Lower Matecumbe on the old viaducts and
bridges of the Florida East Coast railroad,
has been named by President Roosevelt as
a delegate to the third Pan-American Road
conference to be held this year at San
tiago, Chile. Duncan is now en- route to
New York city where he will board ship
and join the other members of the delega-
ton.
Designation of Duncan by the Presi-
dent on this important mission is a de-
served honor. Duncan long has been recog-
nized by the U. S. Bureau of Roads as
one of the nations outstanding highway
engineers and it is believed his selection
for a place on the Pan-American delega-
ton was prompted in part by that agency.
Aside from every other consideration,
the citizens of Monroe county have self
ish interest in Duncan's designation to the
Chilean conference. The appointment
tends to focus attention on a man who can
be of great help to Monroe county in
bringing about completion of the Overseas
Highway on the old railroad roadbed and
viaducts and in obtaining federal funds
with which to build fresh water supply
system from the mainland. No other man
in Florida stands higher in the esteem of
the u. S. Bureau of Roads, which must help
finance the highway construction, and
Washington executives of the PWA and
other federal lending agencies.
Appointment of Duncan also means
another step forward toward consumma-
ton of the dream that one day the Over
seas Highway will be link in an eastern
branch of a Pan-American highway stretch
ing from the northern tip of Maine to the
southernmost point of South America.
While Duncan would not commit himself
on this proposition, it is known that he is
interested in the idea, principally because
the project would increase the tolls on the
Overseas Highway and thus hasten the
day when the trip to the mainland would
require no payment of toll. Then, too, if
the Overseas Highway does pay it's way,
the federal lending agencies will not hest
tate to advance other sums needed to
finish the fine job Duncan has begun.
The honor that has come to Duncan
is in the last analysis an honor to Monroe
county. The President could have found
no better man for the Pan-American dele
cation.
