By J. J. ECKLES Secretary to Delegate DimOnd

WASHINGTON - Especial Cor respondence)- Authority to put a vessel of the Office of Indian Affairs on the route from Seward to Kodiak Island and points westward as far as Unalaska and Umnak Island and north and eastward into Bristol Bay, was requested of the subcommittee of the House Committee on Appro- priations making up the Interior Department appropriations bill by Delegate Dimond on February l5
 The Delegate explained to the committee that scheduled commer- cial transportation for both pas sengers and freight has. been en- tirely lacking since July of 1888 for this large region formerly served by the steamship Starr, and pointed out the consequent hardship that has resulted for the residents, both white and natives, that live there. He told the committee that he had endeavored last year to have ar arrangements m de. whereby the North Star, vessel operated in Alaska by the Office of Indian Af- fairs, could be put on the route and provide commercial service to meet the problem, but that the law re- quired that any receipts or revenues that the vessel would earn must be covered into the Treasury and could not be used in offsetting the cost

 Maureen O'Sullivan. who played ! opposite the star in "A Tank at OK 1 ford" is once again cast as Taylor s i. heroine in the new picture, and an exceptional cast of prominent screen names includes Edward Arnold as a racketeer, Frank Morgan as Taylors father, and eXvaudiville ham, Will liam Gargan, Lionel Stander and Jane Wyman.
 Based on story by George Bruce, author of Navy Blue and Gold, the picture reveals behind-the-scen activities of the boxing game, with Taylor as pawn in the shady man. ipulations of gambling syndicate
 The Crowd Roarsv offers Taylor in the hardest-hitting role of his career as Tommy Mccoy, the boy from the wrong side of the tracks. who fights his way up from the slums to a chance at the lightheavy- weight championship.
 Three smashing bouts in the col orful setting of Madison Square Garden climax the eventful career of the young fighter, who finds a battle with racketeers more serious than his challenge for the title.

 T am returning herewith House bill No. 66 without my approval. In- asmuch as the bill for taxing banks failed of passage this would leave the banks without any taxation and it would amount to a gift of $5,000 per biennium out of the Territorial Treasury for defraying the expen- ses of bank examiners and would be a direct contribution to the banks of Alaska"
