PROPOSESALAS
COLONIZATION
FOR REFUGEES

WASHINGTON. D. c. - Coloni-
zation of Alaska with highly
trained, desirable class of citizens
who are refugees from foreign per
seeution" was proposed in congress
by Representative May. Democrat
of Kentucky who is chairman of the
house military affairs committee.
A resolution introduced by May
said the colonization would serve
a four-fold purpose. 1t would fur
nish a haven for oppressed minori-
ties from abroad provide adequate
manpower for defense of the Terri
tory of Alaska from foreign aggres-
SION" facilitate development of Al
aska's strategic minerals for use in
the event of war; furnish a market
for surplus production.
The resolution would permit en-
try into Alaska of acceptable col
onists up to a figure equal to the
total of all unused immigration
quotas from foreign nations. May
did not estimate this total.

Mr.. Paalen has been engaged in
taking exhaustive notes from Mr..
Waters specimens and from those
of A. Rasmussen who has made an
outstanding Thlinget collection. The
young Partisan has done no buying
as yet. He is interested only in very
rare and significant pieces. Next
year he plans to come back for a
more extended stay, particularly to
investigate the petroglyphs in this
area.
As for the war situation in Eur
ope Paalen says he is interested
more in painting and is not an auth
ority on things political, but says
there is a definite change in France
at the present A year ago the en-
tire country was under a pail Of
deep anxiety and apprehension; a
war for which France was not ready
seemed imminent. But now the peo-
pie feel confidence in their strength

After a brief stay in Seattle the
Paalens and Miss Sulzer will travel
down the Pacific coast to San Fran
cisco for the fair then through the
length of Mexico and back to New

They unite in saying their stay in
Wrangell has been delightful. They
think the scenic setting is beauti-
full, the town charming and the peo-
pie cordial and friendly.

Exposure Icy Water
Cause POnziO'S Death

I'VE, the jury, duly summoned
and sworn to diligently inquire in
to the identity of the deceased and
the cause of death, do find, after
viewing the remains and hearing
the testimony of witnesses that the
body is that of Ted Pohzio of Wran-
CELL. Alaska, and that he met death
by accident, by exposure while
clinging to a line in the icy waters
of Tracy Arm" was the verdict of
a coroners jury Wednesday morn
ing at Wrangell. The jurors were
F. A. Cooper, NJ. e. Shain, L C.
Bjorge, T. Mathews, Norman Bak-
Ike and Carl Bradley.
Ponzio, accompanied by his wife,
left Wrangell the first of May with
Paul Binkley to shoot hair seals for
bounty at Tracy Arm. Evan Lloyd
and Albert Binkley were hunting
together in the same area. Both
parties used skiffs with cupboard
motors. Mrs. Ponzio remained at
Tracy Arm until June 20, when she
returned to Wrangell, her husband
to follow a week afterwards.
Some time that afternoon, Ted
threw him into the water. His over
turned boat was found drifting 900
yards below the point where his
rifle lay on shore and the oars
about 100 yards beyond the boat.
All the hunters joined in the search
for the body, but it was not until
six days later that it was discovered
by a fur farmer living in that vi
entity. 1t was taken for granted that
death had been by drowning but
an autopsy performed after the body
was brought to Wrangell disclosed
that he was not drowned. He had
reached the shore from the icy wa
tiers of Tracy Arm, but had persisted
there from exposure.
Theadore Joseph Ponzio was born
at Waukegan, Illinois, on March 10,
1911. He was graduated from Lake
Forest University, but last year fol-
lowed his desire for an outdoor life
and came to Alaska in the spring.
Mrs. Ponzio Joined him here in the
fall. and recently his cousin, Leo
Paluska, also from Waukegan.
He was an only child and his
parents asked that his body be re-
turned to Waukegan for burial This
was Mrs Ponzio's wish also and
she and Paluska will accompany the
body to the family home leaving
here Monday.
In the year Ted had lived in
Wrangell he had made many friends
who deeply deplore his untimely
end. The happiness of his married
life was known to all and the com.
munity extends sincere sympathy tt
the bereayed wife and the stricken
parents

informal agreement with the British

that as long as the European crisis
persists, Far Eastern waters will
remain stripped of all effective
British naval power. That produces
situation which virtually leaves
the Far Eastern possessions of the
British, French and Dutch empires
completely at Japanese mercy. This
position is automatically altered by
the arrival of the United States
fleet in the Pacific. 1t somewhat
reproduces the state of affairs which
existed during the World War, when
Japan guarded the Pacific for the
allies, allowing them to concentrate
their naval strength in Europe.
Joseph C. Grew, our seasoned Am
bassador to Japan. will reach Wash

it's fingers in the Far East More
than a year ago a delegation Of
prominent Japanese, who were tour

They represent that element of
Japan which was opposed to the
China war adventure from the out
set and which looks upon the army's
domination of the Toxic government
as thoroughly harmful to Nippon's
best interests. Hill minced no words
