ed At Meeting Of New
State wide Organization

The organization meeting of the
new Statewide Traffic Safety Com
mittee, appointed recently by Gov
ernor Herbert R. O'Conor, was held
at Annapolis on Wednesday, Sept.
6, in the State House, with Gov
ernor O'Conor presiding. Repre-
sentatives of every county of the
State were present, together with
the heads of many State, County
and Civic Organizations; the
American Legion, Women's Clubs
and Parent Teacher Associations,
all ready to join in the undertaking
to stop highway deaths.
Following preliminary session,
between Governor O'Conor and
representatives of the Baltimore
and National Safety Councils, a
tentative program of action was
drawn up and presented to the
Statewide meeting as a guide for
work in various cities and COM
munities. Paul F. Stricken, Direc-
tor of Territorial Councils of the
National Safety Council, Chicago,
took part in the advance session,
as we'll as in the Statewide meet
ing.
Rallying to the support of Gov
ernor O'Conor in his statement
that mo one can contemplate the
appalling loss of life and serious
injuries resulting from traffic acct
dents without realizing that this is
one of the greatest problems of
the day., those attending the meet
ing agreed intellectually to take
up the challenge to their commune
ties. The County delegates were
authorized to form County Com
mittees, to include leaders in bust
ness, civic and religious endeavors,
and through them, to get across to
all the residents of their respective
neighborhoods, that traffic deaths
in the great majority of cases are
absolutely needless, and can be
avoided with proper care in driv-
ing

LONDON, Nov. 9.-Premier Ne vile Chamberlain, speaking today relative to peace proposals of Queen Wilhelmina of Holland and King Leopold of Belgium, declared: "The stiff-necked men who run Germany speak no language but that of force.

CHARLES 10 HANG HERE
 IN MORNING
Last Hope for Murderer Is Gone : GaIIows in
 Readiness

His last appeal turned down, Nel- son Charles, 37, will die tomorrow morning at 8:30 o'clock on a gallows in the yard of the Federal Jail here. Charles, Puget Sound Indian who lied about his age in order to Joln the U. s. Army and fight in France, where he was wounded, will be hanged for murdering his mother in-law, Mrs. Cecilia Johnson, 51, at Ketchikan on September 3, 1888.
 The prisoner, living since Monday under the eyes of a death watch, remained calm today, still sure his life would be spared.
 ANB Plea Rejected
 An appeal from the Alaska Native Brotherhood, forwarded yesterday to the President by Gov John w. Troy, brought a reply from Washington late today that Nelson Charles pe- tition for communication of sentence denied by President October 3l af- ter full presentation" The tele- gram was signed by Daniel M. Ly- ons, Pardon Attorney of the De- partment of Justice.
 The murder of Mrs. Johnson, a particularly brutal one, took place while Charles was admittedly drunk Charles wife, Mrs. Rosie Charles 32 is at Ketchikan. She VII not be in Juneau when her husband pays the penalty exacted by Federal justice, for she herself is in jail sentenced on October 19 to 90 days for being drunk and disorderly.
 First Execution Here
 The trap through which Charles will fall tomorrow morning was built 25 years ago for Japanese who was sentenced to hang for running a long breadknife through young cannery worker. He was later par doned by the President as gesture of friendliness toward Japan.
 In 1917, the trap was prepared again for Edward Krause who killed several men on Gastineau Channel Sentenced to hang on May II, he escaped from jail here April 12 anc was shot by his former partner, Ar vid Franzen at Doty's Cove three days later.
 So the trap here has never beer used. No legal execution has beer held in Juneau.

 BLOC IN WEST NEXT YEAR
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Liberal Republicans here consider the move of Senator McNary of Oregon to enter the race for western delegates as one of the smartest moves yet made within Republican ranks.
 In his statement announcing he was willing to accept the candidacy proposed by Governor Sprague of Oregon, McNary said he was under mo illusions" about the possibility of becoming President. He had one main idea, he said, which was to solidify the reclamation states of the west and Rocky Mountains in a way which would permit them to dictate farm blanks in the Re- publican platform next year.
 An idea McNary did not men, ton. but which other Republicans did, was that he might also become the leader of foreign policy group opposed to those Republicans who are following the Rooseyeltian "help-the-Allies" program.
