Plans for
 AirlieId
 Up Again
TaiIings from Dredging Would Be Used for
 Development

Project for Juneau airfield, which would be built of tailings from dredging of the channel bar, may be revived this year, the Chamber of Commerce was informed this week by Col. John c. H. Lee of the U. s. Army engineers.
 Col. Lee was here Tuesday on the Baranof and proceeded westward on the vessel to inspect army pro- iects in other harbors.
 The airfield project, though it was rejected in Washington last year, possibly may be looked upon favorably now, Col. Lee said, inas- much as it is a combination job, en- tailing dredging of the channel along with construction of the field
 Chamber officials left with Col Lee a set of plans for the develop ment which he will study before his return here in two weeks. It is con- sidered probable public hearing on the airfiald project will be called in the near future.

Here's Inside Story On What a Gold Does ai College

NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 5. -Newcomb College girls spend as much time every week talking as they do studying, a survey shows.
 Betsy Bres, a junior, found after checking among fellow students that every week they use up 21 hours boring over books and 21 hours in conversation.
 And here's how the girls ac- counted for the rest of their time:
 Eighteen hours in class; IA on dates; 56 sleeping; one, just wait ing for people; 12 hours and 15 minutes eating; three at meetings such as the student council and sororities; two hours and 55 min- utes putting curlers in their hair before going to bed and taking them cut when they get up. and the rest of the time going from one place to another, playing games and deciding which dress to wear.

The two had fought together in the World War. Inonu was chief of staff at Gallipol when Ataturk kept the Allies from seizing the vital peninsula. Inonu also helped Ataturk drive out the invading Greeks in the war that followed the World War.
 Then they continued shoulder to shoulder in the peacetime fight to regenerate the "sick man of Eu- rope as Turkey was called before they took hold of him.
 Called To Death
 The general was Ataturks pre- mier and confidant until 1897. Then the long association suddenly ter minated, presumably in a squab- ble over foreign policy.
 The premier remained in the national assembly but except for that played the role of an ex-num- Der 2 man. No one expected him to become No. 1-llntil the dicta- tor took ill and sent for him. It was increasingly evident after that that Inonu was to inherit Ataturk's role.
 He is the father of two young sons, one 10. the other seven. He and his wife are looked up to as model parents. In fact, she is held in such esteem the country once considered inaugurating nation al mothers day in her honor.
 Unlike Ataturk, he is a teetotal- Ter but at official functions will lift cup of champagne to the health of his guests. He can manage a se- date foxtrot when it is required He loves horses and is an expert rider, speaks English, French, and understands German, prefers Eng lish-cut clothes and American ad- ministrative methods.
 One of his hobbies is quizZing visiting Americans on their way of life and their country's latest achievements, particularly in sci entific spheres.

 Eventually in the summer he wound up in the District of Co., lumbia jail accused of yagrancy. Released from jail, he tried to join the army and navy, but the ser vices wouldn't take him because he could NOT give his right name.

 Old Time Democrats
 She lives with her two brothers and entertains at small teas and luncheons for a small group of friends who are so respectful of her wish for retirement that many even deny knowing her. Mostly they're old-time Democrats who surrounded her husband in office. For instance she visited the Josephus Daniels ir Mexico last year. RFC's Jesse Jol'f ; and Mrs. Jones.

| ANKARA, Turkey = Now thai General Ismet Inonu is in the chair at Ankara, the world is inquiring- not without skepticism, whether Turkeys. second president will be able to continue as be has pledged to do in the direction pointed by its. first. 1
 Possessed of quiet, intellectual, ironic demeanor, Inonu lacks-or at least he has never demonstrat- ed = the domineering, demonic, ruthless qualities of his dead chief. But he has name as an organizer and administrator. He we'll knows the hazards of public life Twice, he has escaped assassination.
 His name stirs, important mem ories in the Turks for it comes from battle the general won in the Anatolian locality of Inonu. It was one of the pivotal battles in the bitter Graeco-Turkish war of 1919-22 which preceded Ataturk's founding of new Turkey.
 Kamal Ataturk gave Ismet Ino- nu this name. Now. Inonu is in line for the name of Ataturk himself flor most everybody in Turkey believes that the slender little man taking command at critical mo- ment in the country's history will prove himself to be 8 second "Fa- ther of the. Turks 1 M

 It is a staggering responsibility Ataturk has; left his No. man. There is the modernization of re- ligious, political and social cus- toms to be completed. There is a local political situation of near volcanic possibilities which Ata- turk kept from erupting at times only by the use of ruthless force Most important, there is the prob lem of keeping from being flat tened by the political-economic juggernautl of Nazi Germany.
 Those are enough to give any man pause. But Turkey thinks it's deaf old warrior, although he diff fers in many ways from his chief, is the man best fitted for the job. Ataturk thought so, too. That's why he called him in be<Ore he died and made up the friendship which was broken off a year ago.

American neutrality, but did not disclose the date on which the proclamation will be given out.
 The President blamed the use of force for the unfortunate in- ternational situation of recent years. He said the United States had consistently thrown it's weight on the side of peace. He added: And it seems to be clear, even at the outbreak of this great war, that the influ- ence of America should be con- sistent in seeking for humanity a final peace which will elim- mate, as far as it is possible to do so, the continued use of force between nations" The Presi- dent said that the outbreak of war anywhere endangers peace everywhere. He pointed out that every word coming through the air and every ship sailing the sea brought the effects of the European war into American homes. Said MT. Roosevelt: "The overwhelming masses of our people seek peace-peace at home and the kind of peace in other lands which will not jeO- pardize peace at home"

PRESIDENT NOTIFIED

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Stephen Early, Secretary to President Roose- welt, said here that the torpedoed Athenia was carrying mostly Canad- ians, and few Americans, according to a dispatch received from London by President Roosevelt.
 The Presidents official report, re- ceived immediately after the tor pedoing, said the ship was rapidly sinking.
 Early said: q would like to point out that, according to official in- formation, the ship had come from Glasgow to Liverpool, and was bound for Canada, bringing refugees home"
 Early also said to newsmen: Point this matter out to show that there was no possibility the ship was car- rying any munitions or anything of that kind"
 Secretary Early said the report was received in the White House with obvious horror, especially when it was learned there were reportedy nearly two hundred Americans aboard the sunken craft.
