Dr. Cruening Is On Regular Trip
 Alaska Sections

SEATTLE, July 2, (P-Before sailing for Alaska on the govern ment boat ''Brant", Dr. Ernest Gruening, director of territories and insular possessions, said: 1 am on a general inspection trip, checking up on matters since my visit of 2 years ago, on num- Der of Alaska problems with which the administration is par tfcularly concerned. One of whi- ch was the early and peaceful set clement of labor disputes which seriously affected the Alaska Fish cries"
 Dr. Gruening said: that the i'm creasinly important industry whi ch is SO vital, should not be inn paired by needless juriSdictional and regional disputes, which can and should be settled by arbitra- ton. He further said the United States Government is also much interested in the continued devel- opment and progress in the Mat anuska colony, and also in pro- noting the Territory's tourist business.
 The Doctor further said that perhaps the greatest require rpent was the immediate and fut- We development of aviation fa- ciMties, ard it is our hope that within a short time we will have direct airplane communication between Alaska and Washington, and also that the States will be connected with Alaska by high way.
 Dr. Gruening's son Peter is ac- companying him on the trip thru Alaska. Also sailing on the Brant was Fish Commissioner Bell, who said he had ust received new in formation that all Japanese yes sels except one had left Bristol Bay fishing grounds, and that one was leaving shortly.
 Congressman Willard F. Cald- well and wife of Florida, are also aboard the Brant. Congressman Willard is on the sub-committee on appropriations.
 The "Brant" is due to arrive at Ketchikan the morning of the fifth of July, and Juneau the af- ternoon of the 7th; thence west ward to Cordova and Bristol Bay.

N. Y. A. ALLOTMENT
 INCREASED $5O,OOO
Six Hundred Additional Youths to Be Put to
 Work on Projects

Receipt of an increase of $S0,000 in the state national youth admin istration allotment with which 600 additional youths will be put to work on projects was announced here to- day by State Director Thomas J. Dodd. The increase raises the bud- get of the administration $396,5 for the fiscal year ending June 30.
 MT. Dodd went to Washington last week to confer with national off, cials on the state IVA situotion and there he told the officials of the waiting lists for jobs on projects in the industrial centers of the state where unemployment is highest. Tho supplemental grant was result of this conference.
 The increased appropriation, Dodd said will permit complete absorbtion of the waiting list and additional employment besides. It is in line with other increases made during the fiscal year to permit this federal agency to absorb some of the slack in private employment.
 The IVA, he said, started the fis- cal year, last year, with an appro- priation of $234,000. On Jan. l, this figure was increased by $74,000 and again by $38,000 in March.
 Employment of the 600 additional youths will bring the employment rolls of the IVA in Connecticut to over 2500, he said. The task of putt ting these youths to work has started already with Dodd notifying the district supervisor and welfare departments of the increased allot- ment and giving them instructions to put more to work immediately.
 The budget increase and larger number of youths working have cre- ated need of additional projects, Dodd said. He appealed to municipal and state agencies and non-profit making private institutions to fur nish new projects, pointing out that with the state headquarters in New Haven able to approve projects im- mediately, they could be cleared through his office and be underway in a very short time.
 The budget for student aid is un- changed at $l54,000.
