ing reduction in commodity rates.
"For that reason, we more or less
feel that the commodity rate hearing
is dealing with mere details, while
the class rate case involves the real
fundamentals of the matter"
Mr.. Winborne did not say so, in
fact if he had been asked he doubt
less would have denied it, but there
is an impression in many circles that
the commodity rate hearing is pri-
marily due to the publicity grabbing,
notwithstanding characteristics of
Governor Bibb Graves of Alabama.
Originally it was planned for the en-
tire "differential" battle to be fought
out, on the important "class rate" line,
but when Governor Graves was not
selected to be the standard-bearer
and spokesman-in-chief for this case,
he seized on the commodity rate mat
ter to keep himself in the limelight,
and the other southern states just
went along with him to prevent his
kicking over the traces and refusing
to cooperate in the class rate battle.
The opinion was that, while the COM
modify rate case can do little good,
it can do no harm.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Aug. IL
Secretary of Interior Harold l..
Ickes told the Anchorage Chamber
of Commerce members that he was
not acrobat enough to endure" the
jittery ride on the Alaska Railroad
and said it is UP TO "nickel-pinch-
ing Congress" to vote money for the
railroads rehabilitation.
In 45-minute talk, the Secretary
of the Interior also assailed the
ruthless exploitation" of Alaska. He
said the Territory needed tourists,
more substantial than postcard
shoppers.
1T is apparent that Alaska ought
to have more tourist trade. 1t takes
too much time now to make trip.
Steps should be taken to reduce the
time required" said the Secretary.

at noticed that many passengers
on the steamer returned south with
out stopping at Seward
Postcard shoppers do not help

Il can't say anything against the
Alaska Railroad because it is in my
Department but noticed the train
went this way and that way and
by the middle of the afternoon
wanted to lie down and take a nap.
I am not acrobat enough to endure
it,
Col. Ohlson has written me con-
tinuously, impassioned letters citing
the need for rehabilitation He won't
have to write me any more because

money from the nickel-pinching

Il have decided to get all mem
berS OF Congress to come to Alaska
and ride on the railroad. We will
ride them until we shake the money
out of them for rehabilitation"
Referring to the reported closing
of the Kennecott copper mines, Sec
rotary Ickes said Haven't we sense
