ROME, Oct. 7.---Italy today struck out at World Hebrewism' as the inspirer& of anti -Fascism by for bidding intermarriage of Jews and Italians and restricting Jewish eco- homie activity.
 The Fascist Grand Council laid down the anti-Semitic regulations in series of orders for defense of the Italian race" which evidently were imbued by the spirit of em- pire.
 Many of the new restrictions were directed against Jews but the pol icy was drafted along broad lines and will affect African, Semitic and other races"
 The Council made two conces- sions to the Jews in line with Mus solini's promise of moderation in his speech at Trieste, holding out possibility of sanctuary of the Jews in Ethiopia and exempting Jews who served the country meritorious- ly in war

Recent Fascist, Nazi Reve- lations Believed Back
 of U. s. Action DIES HOUSE COMMITTEE REPORT RESPONSIBLE UnAmerican Activities Said to Be Startling g in
 Some Instances

HYDE PARK, N. Y., Oct. 7.-
 President Roosevelt disclosed
 today that the administration
 is planning to tighten it's de-
 lenses against activities of for
 eign spies.
 The President, in response to
 press conference questions, said
 he was seeking to determine
 what new machinery might be
 set up to frustrate efforts of
 foreign agents to obtain mili-
 tary and naval secrets in this
 country. He mentioned in this
 connection that it might pos
 sibly effect a closer coOrdina-
 ton of activities of the military
 and naval intelligence services,
 the Federal Bureau of Investi-
 gation and similar agencies. E Asked whether foreign agents had increased their activities in this country, MT. Roosevelt saaid he be- lieved there was no marked increase at present although there had been during the past ten years.
 Italian System
 Yesterday in Washing ton the Dies House committee Investigating un- activities heard Giorola- mo Valenti, anti-Fascist Italian leader in New York, testify that the Italian Ambassador and several Consular officials are linked to the Fascist undercover work in the United States. Valenti declared there was a branch of the dreaded Italian secret police known as the "Ovra' in this country. He des- cribed it as a spy organiza ton which calls at the homes of persons of Italian descent in this country in an effort to force them to parti- cipate in Fascist activities.
 Widespread Communism
 Recently the same committee re- ported that they had testimony in- dicating a wide spread of Com munism in the United States. In- vestigation also is being made of Nazi activities, it being revealed that several Nazi Bunds were active in the larger cities. It has been no secret in Washington that these Ma zi groups are being closely watched by government agents.
 Some sources contend that there has been more evidence of unAm- erican activity during the last year and half than at any time since the World War.

P elican Cold Storage. to Begin Operations
 Next Spring

Workmen Jouay are cutting down trees on the shores of sheltered little cove in Lisianski Inlet pre- pairing for the erection of a modern cold storage fish plant and the probable growth of new town in growing Alaska
 The Pelican Cold Storage Con- pany recently filed articles of in- corporation for the new cold stor- age, with construction cost estimat- ed between $150,000 and $175.000 Charles Raatikainen, veteran Alas ka fisherman and packer, whose dream the proposed cold storage has been, arrived in Juneau on the North Sea yesterday to discuss plans with Senator Henry Roden, who has been named president of the new company.
 Material on Way
 Raatikainen said today the steamer Tongass, northbound from Seattle, is bringing a large cargo of materials for construction, in- cluding 100000 feet of lumber, pil- ing, two carloads of cement and other materials.
 Capacity of the new plant, on which construction is now under way, and for which operation is planned this spring, is 3,500,000 pounds storage, Raatikainen said
 A dock will be built, with deep water only fifty feet from the beach, easily accessible to ocean going steamers. On the dock will be two- story fish house sixty feet by one hundred and forty feet, while ashore, with rock foundations, the cold storage plant will be erected, a three-story structure.
 Freezing Capacity
 Quick freezing apparatus will be set up for 80,000 pounds of fish a day and a cool room will also be constructed for fresh shipments.
 Adequate water power is avail able a short distance away, Raati- kainen said, with a 140-foot head of water draining from a IA miles square area and three lakes. The power house will generate SOC horsepower.
 In addition to the cold storage the company will also operate a general merchandise store and an oil station.
 Raatikainen is convinced that the location of the Pelican Cold Stor- age will fill a definite need and will result in at least a small settle ment.
 Fine Location
 We have lots of shelter, a fine harbor, and beautiful homesites," he said. There is the Apex Fl Nido mine across from us and a number of prospects that indicate future mining growth as well as fishing growth.
 ''As far as fishing goes, we will be able to save the fishermen many hours to distant storages and add ten percent to his income thereby We have, besides some of the finest

MINER IS JAILED
 PENDING PROBE
 BY AUTHORITIES
Reported Suicide by Hang ing Discredited by Physi-
 clan After Examination
THREE MEN QUESTIONED
 DURING INVESTIGATION
Faded Beauty Found with Sheet Tied Loosely
 Around Throat

Under mysterious circumstances, first reported as hanging, Alice Hedges, 35-year-old faded Aleut beauty, was found dead about l o'clock this morning in cabin on the hillside off South Franklin Street, and today Vivian Smith, miner, was being held in the Fed eral Jail pending the outcome of an inquest. Smith was said to have been the last person to see her alive.
 The woman was found by Albert Johnson, longshoreman, who lives in the same cabin and which also is occupied by Otto Davis, an un- employed man.
 Describes Scene
 At a hearing before United States Commissioner Felix Gray and a coroner's jury today, Johnson said he returned to the cabin about 12:30 last night and noticing two candles burning in the Hedges womans bedroom he looked in as, he said, the woman had been sick for the last eight days She was on her knees on the floor he said, with sheet tied loosely around her neck, the end of the sheet fatened to the bed. Johnson said he picked the woman up and laid her on the bed but soon noticed that she was apparently dead. He ran down to the street where he found his cabin mate, Davis, and told the latter to notify authorities. Davis said he called the police. Officers removed the body to Car ter's Mortuary. They said she was nearly nude when found.
 Not Death by Hanging
 pr. L. P. Dawes, after a pre- liminary examination, S ai d tn e woman had not come to her death from hanging. He was making a more thorough examination this afternoon and the coroner's jury was instructed to report at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning to hear his testimony.
 Smith, who admitted going to see the woman earlier last evening while Johnson and Davis were gone from the cabin, was taken into custody last night by police and today was transferred to the Fed eral jail. Assistant District At torney George w. Folta said he would be held at least until the conclusion of the inquest. Smith has known the woman for many years and told the jury that he probably was the "only friend she had" He said he went up to see her last night and when he left she seemed to be about the same. Johnson and David said she had been sick for eight days and had spent the last four in bed.
 The woman was of Aleut de- scent, officers said, and at one time was well and favorably known, being married to a Dr. Hedges, a white man. When younger, she was said to have been strikingly beau- tiful. She had lived here for a decade.
