CantreI Joins
Old Party Foes;
May Be Judge
Chevy Chase Man
Switches to United
Democratic Faction
By JACK ALLEN.

The political jig-saw of Mont
gomery County was busily engaged
today cutting another pattern for
the Democratic party.
Joseph A. Cantrel of Chevy Chase,
who ran for the House of Repre-
sentatives on the ticket of Gov.
OConor, switched his affiliations to
the 0United Democratic Organiza-
ton, which he fought so bitterly
in the 1884 county election.
simultaneously, it was learned
that Mr.. Cantrel, former member
OF the Maryland House of Delegates,
is slated to be named Judge of the
County Juvenile Court by Gov.
O'Conor
In another change Ralph B. Sad
Ter, also of Chevy Chase, a personal
friend of the Governor, split with
former States Attorney James H.
Pugh, manager of the O'Conor pri-
mary campaign in Montgomery last
fall, and accompanied Mr.. Cantrel
into the ranks of the United Demo-
cratic Organization.
Differences Undisclosed.
While none of the principals In
volved could be reached this morn.
ing-it was reported they were in
conference with Democratic organi-
zation leaders-the changes are said
to have occurred last night over diff
ferences undisclosed.
Mr.. Sadler went to Annapolis and
arranged to have Mr.. Cantrel's name
sent to the Senate in place of J. H.
Gassaway of DarnestoWn, whom
Gov. O'Conor recommended for ap-
pointment for the Juvenile Court
judgship at Mr.. Pugh's suggestion.

The changes today and the i'm

Democratic Organization and Gov.

through which the organization will

The Wrangell sentinel. (Wrangell, Alaska) 1909-current, 1939-03-17

WASHINGTON, D. c. - A bill TO

for the construction of one main
surveying ship of 1900 tons and one
auxiliary surveying vessel of I25

Hazardous Waters
The matter of safety of person
mel, records, and valuable Govern
ment equipment during operations
in waters of western Alaska gives
great concern TO those responsible
for directing the assignment of sur
Yeying vessels. This is due to the old
age of the vessels now engaged
along this strom-infested and rocky
coast. If one of these old vessels
should be grounded, while working
in shoal water, there is little posi-
bility of saving life and property.
The hazards OF the Aleutian Island
waters are illustrated by the wrecks
of the Tahoma and the mine sweep

the latter was attached to a naval

DIMOND ASKS FUNDS TO EXTEND
WEATHER BUREAUS IN ALASKA

WASHINGTON D. C,-Request-
Ing the maximum funds approved
by the Bureau of the Budget for ag-
ricultural experiment station work
and extension service activities. Del
egate Dimond on March first testi-
fled before the subcommittee of the
House Committee on Appropriations
that was then engaged in assembling
the Department of Agriculture ap-
preparation bill
The Delegate told the committee
that he was appearing before it to
make an outright request that the
items in the bill for the Alaska sx-
pertinent stations and extension ser
vice be increased in the amount of
$4,000 each. Supporting his plea for
additional funds. Mr. Dimond out
lined to the committee the value of
the work done in each of these two
activities. which are carried on I'M
der the University of Alaska. and
of the program that remains to be
undertaken He explained the need
for this money to properly obtain
the full value of the Act to extend
the benefits of the Adams Act, the
Purnell Act. and the Capper-Keteh-
am Act TO the Territory, which he
sponsored through Congress to en-
aetment in 1886, to make available
to Alaska these Federal benefits ex-
tended for experiment stations and
extension service in the States.
Weather Bureau Needs
Later when the committee was
preparing other items for the bill.
Delegate Dimond placed particular
emphasis on the need for funds for
Weather Bureau expansion in Alas
ka. This is necessary. he said, be
cause, due to the large part airplane
transportation has in the business
of the Territory, the safety of life
may often depend on accurate wealth
er forecasts. Supporting his testimony
with a statement showing the con-
slant growth of aviation in Alaska
during the past 10 years. the Dele
gate said that with reliable weather
data available, scheduled air traffic
could be initiated along the coast
from southeastern Alaska to serve
Cordoya, Valdez, Seward. and An
chorage, to connect with existing
service from Fairbanks to other in
terror points and north to Nome.

TESTING GROUND

THE japanese fishing invasion of
Bristol Bay presents a problem that
is not local to Bristol Bay or to AL
aska. Here we find a testing ground
for two important principles OF deep
sea fishing, conservation versus ex-
ploitation," Edward w. Allen, Chair
man of the international Fisheries
Commission and member of the In
ternational Pacific Salmon Fisheries
Commission told members of the
Commonwealth Club of California in
San Francisco last week. Mr.. Aliens
talk was broadcast by the National
Broadeasting Company.
THE United States and Canada,
separately and Jointly, have become
the opponents of sound conserya-
tion," Mr.. Allen told his listeners.
Japan, on the other hand, is the
leading exponent in the Pacific of
the doctrine of catching all the fish
you can in any manner you can
without regard for the future
Japanese fishing in Bristol Bay
affects Alaska, British Columbia,
and all three Pacific Coast states.
The salmon fishery is Alaska's most
important industry, but the entire
Pacific Coast is interested in this
as well as in other varieties of fish.
These fisheries give direct employ
ment to many thousands of men
from California to the Boring Sea,
and indirect employment through

shipyards, supply houses, and in
other ways to probably as many
more. II the japanese should be sue
eessful in their attack upon the
Bristol Bay fishery, they will I'M
doubtedly follow on down the Am
erican Coast operating against the
fisheries of the region wherever
they find it profitable.
Alaska fishermen and operators
have been subjected to severe re-
strictions in order to build up and
preserve our fisheries. II is not right
that others who have not contribut-
ed to this conservation in any way
should reap the benefit"
Allen pointed out the difficulties
that Japan has been having with
Russia over Siberian fisheries, and
expressed the belief that these diff
ficulties may have been partly re-
sponsible for the Japanese turning
to American fisheries.
Declaring that it may be neces-
sary to revise some ideas of inter-
national law in order to preserve
our fisheries industry and protect
the employment of thousands of
fishermen and cannery workers. Al
len said that there is no reason why
we should hesitate to do so. He said
that the continental shelf is really
just the submerged margin of the
continent. and that while it is IN
der water, it is still part of our con-
tinent
ut is wholly illogical to say that
we may protect fisheries only up
to three miles from our shore and
that some one outside that three
miles can come along and complete
ly destroy the entire result of our
protection, he said
Concluding his talk, Allen SAID
that the Department of State is full
ly alive to the situation and en-
tirely sincere in its desire to work
out solution. He pointed out, how
ever that the Department is sub
ject to a great deal of pressure to
handle European questions ut is
therefore necessary for the people
of the Pacific Coast to keep this
question alive if we are to get the
desired results" he said.

AMERTCANIsM
50 WEEKS a YEAR
fBy GEORGE B. CAsE)

Last week was Americanism
Week. Throughout the entire United
States for seven days the eitizenry
Joined to celebrate its nationality.
Flags waved and parades marched.
Speakers eloquentIy extolled the viz
tues of our great land, Lineoln's
immortal words echoed throughout
the nation, Thousands of feryent
Americans arose TO sing the Star
Spangled Misunderstanding the words
from a paper.
And now after a week Off in
which to remind US of Just who we
are, the other fifty one of the year
will be left free to the termites
that are forever gnawing at the bull
warks of our national consciousness.
Nazi-ism is diluting the American
ideal through Ameriean-born youths
thousands of whom proudly display
their troopers uniforms with the
well-known emblem of a foreign
nation. The mold of Communism is
breeding in the dark, feeding upon
the discomfort of laboring groups
The fault lies with US who do not
think enough Americanism. The
United States is a fertile field for
the two greatest propagandist or
CARNATIONS the world has ever
known. Their pollen is broadcast 365
days each year. and shall we. in our
snug complacency take a week off
,.,o-11,, - ~aooup5Z. and forpaf
Though we are Americans we are
not sufficiently eloquent in our con-
seriousness of it. A naturalized citi-
zen can sing the National Anthem
from memory and is familiar with
the Bill of Rights and the Declar-
alton of Independence. How many
natural born Americans can make
a like boast? No one can deny the
fervor of the French as they sing
their Marseillaise or fail to be
stirred as the English reverently
send up their prayer for their King
and Empire. An equal love for our
country is present in most of US and
we have but to think and remem-
Der to bring out an enthusiastic
appreciation Of our own United
States.
Let each of us. then as true AM
orleans, solemnly resolve to make
EVERY WEEK Americanism week.
Let US in our schools plant this re-
solve so deeply in the plastic
minds of the children it will never
be uprooted.
Let Us each day remember that
We are privileged to be citizens of
the greatest nation on earth. Let
Us be thankful that American Ideals
have endured since it's birth; that
while European dictators are sitting
individualism and creating tension,
strife, and chaos out of peace, we
are free to speak and write as our
conscience bids US and rich in
the peaceful security of our homes
In recognizing these things We
will say as if a startling revelation
had been brought home to US and
in pride, Il AM AN AMERICAN"

MARTIN TODAL PASSES AWAY
At PARENTS HOME IN NORWAY

Word of the death of Martin To-
dal on February at his parents
home in Norway was contained in
a letter from Lars Stoke of Vihals,
Norway. printed last week in the
Petersburg Press. Both Mr.. Todal
and Mr.. Stoke were former Wran-
gell men.
Mr. Todal died after a few months
of hard suffering from cancer. He
was So years old.
Along about 1919, wrote Stoke,
nearly everybody went wild about
blue fox farming so he and Todal
partners in the Pastime Pool Room
in Petersburg. went into the fox
game on Lesnoi island four miles
from Wrangell, where they operated
the Lesnoi Island Fox Ranch until
the spring of 1880 when Todal left
for Norway and organized a fox
company. In the fall Stoke divided
the stock, selling part with the
buildings to N Engdal and son Ben
Engdal and taking the remainder
to Norway.
Mr.. Todal stayed in the fox bus
mess until last fall when he knew
that he had lost the fight for lss
health.

Stoke, was asked to give his best
regards and thanks to his friends,

In all fairness, Key West mer-
