REINSURANCE 0NSLATTERY PLAN VOICED
Inferior Department Letter Says Immigration Bars
 Are 10 Stay Up

The Department Of the Interior has no intention to propose lower ing of immigration bars to Alaska in order to promote colonization and development of the Territory. In fact, the intention of the De- partment is to raise the immigra- tion standards so that in carrying proposals of the Slattery report into effect only highly qualified indiyid- ual settlers would be encouraged to settle in Alaska

Burlew, Acting Secre- tary of the Interior Under Secre- tary Harry Slattery. whose report evoked criticisms from Alaska, is no longer with the Department, hav- ing been appointed Rural Electri- fication Administrator.

 His background of rugged indi- vidualism was evidenced in his judi cial philosophy. As Supreme Court Justice he was a staunch defender of the individual and property rights which he held were guaranteed by the constitution.
 There should be no legislation, he once said, which would hampes any poor youth from making his way to the top.
 His views on the constitution aligned him invariably in split de- cisions, with the conservatives. He, Van Devanter, Sutherland and Me Reynolds voted to invalidate most of the New Deal laws of President Roosevelts first term that reached the court.

Hyde Park. N. Y, July 21.-
(AP)-President Roosevelt, in

From Wreckage in
Louisiana Politics.

New Orleans, La, July 21.-(AP)
Governor Earl K. Long and Mayor
Robert Maestri of New Orleans were
united today in an effort to save
the old Huey Long political machine
from wreckage.

charges.
Long took occasion during a
speech in North Louisiana ,yester-
day to decry Shreveport and Monroe
newspaper attacks on Maestri.
''They branded the fairest and
squarest man in the state as an
oil crook, Long said. "He is 100 per
cent honest. They've decided the
only way to get Earl Long is to
ruin Bob Maestri He's given more
constructive work as mayor of New
Orleans in three years than any one
else ever gave in forty years.
Maestri in New Orleans said he
was interested in "a number Of oil
ventures" but that all hisactivities
"were done legally and honestly.
Long, with the backing Of Macs
tri, is a candidate for governor in

Refugees Not

Daily Dispatch Bureau,
a., nm A,r EMnf..ar. AAfnI

Raleigh, July 21.-Bishop Eugene
j. McGuinness, head of Catholic dio-
cese of North Carolina, reports most
favorable reaction all over the cOun-
try to his recent proposal that the
Catholic orphanage here would care
for 200 European refugee children
if Congress votes to admit them to
this country. He doubts that such
action will be taken.
There are only about one hundred
children at the orphanage now and
facilities there will easily take care
of two hundred more.
There has been no concerted ef-
fort among Catholics throughout the
country to foster such plan, and,
although several inquiries have
been received from other dioceSes,
none has offered full cooperation in
the scheme, pending further study.
Answering suggestions that the
whole scheme is just one of proselyt-
ing, local Catholic authorities declar
that the offer was made in good
faith as a humanitarian gesture. No
effort would be made to force the
refugees into the Catholic Church.
