Washington, June 19-(AP)-Con-
gressional tax experts said today that
President Roosevelt's suggestion for
broadening the income tax base
might bring 100000 "little fellows"
under the federal levy
Although expressing doubt that
Congress would act at that session
the President said that reduction
in existing exemptions would give
added citizenship responsibilities to
a group not now affected by the in
come tax.
Congressional discussions of base
broadening proposals have centered
on reducing the present $4,000 ex-
emption for married persons to ST.

single individuals from $1,000 to

and as fully in touch with Yankee
sentiment as any American.
Herr Goebbels and Signor Gayda
wrote their stories from the van
tage point of their editorial desks in
Berlin and Rome respectively. Ma
turally neither of them had the slight
est idea what the performance real
ly was like, but they both knew what
they greatly preferred it to resem-
hle-a funeral. So that was how they
described it.
Now, the English press undoubt-
edly exaggerated the popular en-
thusiasm with which their majes-
ties were greeted in Washington and
New York City. I don't contend that
Sir Wilmott Lewis did it intention
ally. However, he's Briton, and
wanted the visit to be a bowling sue
cess, just as Herr Goebbels and Sig
nor Gayda wanted it to be a lemon.
And it was reasonably successful.

GOOD WILL TOUR DUE HERE NEAR
 END OF SPRING
By HARRY BOWMAN. CHAIRMAN Alaska Gcod Will Tour Committee
 Seattle Chamber of Commerce


 Seattle's leading business and pro- fessional men will arrive in Juneau with the Seattle Chamber of Com merce Good Will Tour Tuesday morning, May 30, for an all-day visit, according to T. Harry Cow man, Chairman of the Seattle Chamber Committee arranging tl.r trip
 The group will leave Seattle on the Aleutian Saturday, May 27, and will spend sixteen days covering all the principal cities in Southeast and Southwest Alaska, including Ketchi- kan, Wrangell, Petersburg, Juneau, Sitka, Cordova, Valdez and Seward. Another call of several hours will be made at Juneau southbound, Thurs day, June B.
 The Aleutian will remain at Sew ard for four days so the members of the party may go by special train to Anchorage, Palmer, Mount Me Kinley and Fairbanks. This is the first time the entire group has been able to visit the Interior, and this is possible because of special arr engagements by the Alaska Steam ship Company and the Alaska Rail- road.
 The Seattle Chmaber has taken over all the accommodation on the Aleutian and the schedule has been changed from the regular twelve day one to sixteen days so more time will be available for the Seattle men to visit with their Alaska business friends.
 Our representative business men 20 North on these biennial Good Will trips, arranged by our Chamber of Commerce. to express this city's appropriation for the immense trade emanating from Alaska said Chair man T. Harry Bowman, prominent hotel proprietor of Seattle. We fully realize the great importance of AL aska to Seattle and the mutuality of our interest, as well. Through these visits our people become bet ter acquainted with yours and can better understand the problems of Alaska The prime purpose of this trip is to pay friendly call on our Alaska friends"
 Interest in the Good Will Tour this year is greater than on any previous one. for already nearly 130 definite reservations have been made, including senior executives of Seattle's leading firms This mum Der will be greatly increased before sailing time.

another by an urge to say the devil with it. And they did the latter.
 It always is problem. An edi- tor in New England writes that he likes it best when the column sticks to serious business. Yet from out in Minnesota a woman writes that while she is glutton for knowledge she gets tired of the wrangling and dangling in Washing ton and wishes somebody would do something quick to fix it all up. Sta tistics, politics and economics are beginning to wear on her.
 It was not until the woman had written and we had thought of life among the pueblos and read the dreamy rhapsodies of the three Washington pundits, that it dawned clearly on us what had brought about the change in atmosphere.
 It just took a glance at the cal- endar. Spring is herein Wash ington, where even the buttercups watch the election returns.

GIANTS ARE TURNING TO
 NEW STUNT
Terry's Men Are Slugging Ball Just in Case Pitch
 CTS Take Slump
By NORMAN WALKER

BATON ROUGE. La, March 29.- Power is the potion Bill Terry is cooking up to rejuvenate his New. York Giants.
 Dotcors have patched up many of the key players. But Manager Terry thinks flock of basehits will be the best medicine to win the National League pennant.
 Maybe it's a tip from his neigh bors, the Yankees, who do all right hitting the ball.
 Anyway, the Giants are turning to slugging in case the question: mark pitchers, Carl Hubbell, Hal Schumacher, Clyde Castleman and Cliff Melton, fail to round back into the form that made them in 1937 the most effective mound staff in baseball.
 And in case the peanut-farming Phi Beta Kappa, Burgess White head, Hops in his comeback at play ing second-base.
 70-80 Home Runs?
 The heavy guns in the Giant at tack are the ever-dependable Mel Ott and his new running mate, big Zeke Bonura. the Italian first base man purchased from Washington. From these twin bombers Terry ex- poets total of 70 or 30 circuit clouts during 1889 with something between 225 and 250 runs batted in. A big order, but Ott and Bonura think it will be easy.
 Ott hit 36 homers last year. Be- nura blasted g with Washington and may pole out as many as Ott over the closer Giant left-field fence. Tom Hafey, a rookie with mur- derous cut at the ball, slugged 24 homers. 38 doubles and Il triples for Knoxville in the Southern As sociation last year and, for this reason, may replace the fleet George Myatt at third base.
 More power at the plate will come from Bob Seeds, the outfielder who hit nine homers for the Giants in 81 games after delivery from New ark last year, Harry Danning, Jim Ripple, Joe Moore and Frank De- maree, all strong hitters.
 The batting order is dangerous from end to end with Ott at clean up followed by Bonura, Danning and Frank Demaree = fencebusters few pitchers in the National League will be able to stop.
 Hub, Schumacher Look Good
 The warm Southern spring sun finds Hubbell and Schumacher feel ing pretty chipper after their elbow operations. Castleman and Melton are recovering from their physical ailments and Whitehead is looking surprisingly good in the infield.
 Terry is hoping and praying his cripples will stand the gaff. So far the situation looks promising but any one of the reconditioned boys may collapse during the long sum- mer campaign.
 Memphis Bill is prepared for the worst. But he believes the new bat ting strength will help his wobbly oldtimers over the rough. spots and give the Giants their fourth pennant since he succeeded the late John McGraw as manager eight years ago.

TEACHERS HERE
 WILL BE GIVEN
 LARGER SALARY
Sch ooIs in Territory Are Permitted More
 Wage Funds
By ANTHONY E. KARNES Commissioner Of Education

In Alaska the enrolment in the schools has also increased at the usual rate of increase, and conse- quently, the number of teachers has increased, all of which means in- creased expenditures on the part of the Territory and cities.
 It is also shown that teachers are better qualified than in the past and are remaining longer in the Territory than heretofore. More eighth grade graduates are attend ing high school and more high school pupils are attending college. Also an increased number of resi- dent teachers are being employed.
 Then too. during the biennium, Federal funds for vocational edu- cation have been secured and used even though the 1897 Legislature made no appropriation for this work. Most of the high schools were giving courses in Home Economies and Manual Training even before we secured Federal aid. During the past year. as well as the present, thirds of the salaries of these teachers, where they are qualified, were paid out of Federal funds The funds are also being used to pay two- thirds of the salaries of the two mining extension teachers of the University and one-half their travel. Tn all we will use about $18,000 Fed eral funds during the current year, and for functions. which normally are carried on by the schools and the University when no Federal funds were available Tn other words the Territory is $l8,000 better off this year by having the Federal voca- ,tional funds than it would be other wise.
 Another long felt need is now be- ing filled and that is the construc- tion of a new course of study Dr. J. c. Ryan, of the University, with the assistance of Prof. Erickson and number of teachers and superin- tendents, is doing this work and ex- poets to have the first draft ready for use the next school year. After using the course for one year then it will be revised in accordance with the suggestions of the teachers and will be put in permanent form.
 Minimum salary for teachers for nine months work in the First Div ision is $500; in the Third Division, $1. .980; and in the Second and Fourth Divisions, $2,l00 The Territory is to give refunds to cities on minimum salaries only. school boards may pay more than the minimum but they must pay all over the minimum.
 Appropriations have been made for additions to the Nome and Craig school buildings, remodeling the Haines school building. and for the construction of rural school build- ings at Snag Point Haycock and Unga
 In the matter of school buildings, new act provides that the Super intendent of Public Works shall pre- pare the plans and supervise the conjstruction of all school buildings where the Territory provides part or all of the funds. This act will re- lieve the office of the Commissioner of Education of considerable respon- sibility and work.
 This office is proud of it's trips out- side and the results we have obtained from them We have secured over s300000 in Federal funds which
