 Senator from North Caro- Iina, Last Summer Wis., flor, Requests Action N0RTHLAND SHOULD BE GUARDED TO DEFEND US. Aftdek from West, Not At- Iantie, Is Forecast
 in Future

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-United States Senator Robert R. Reynolds, of North Carolina, today urged the Senate to strengthen the Alaska de- lenses in order to guard against attack from the west
 "If invasion eevr comes to the continental soil of the United States it will come perhaps from the direc- tion of Alaska and not across the Atlantic" declared the Senator.
 Senator Reynolds asserted that the Siberian Coast, across from AL aska, is fortified by Soviet Russia. The Senator intimated that Soviet Russia could invade Alaska with only a matter of few minutes of flying and it is only matter of a few hours flying from Japan to AL aska, the first American soil to be reached in case of invasion.
 Senator Reynolds said he visited Alaska last summer and he is con- vinced that the Territory could be made an impregnable output for continental United States. Senator Reynolds also urged funds for a road linking the continental United States with Fairbanks, Alaska.

 President Roosevelt has asked for $150, 100000 more but that figure the committee said, 'spresages con- tinued degree of unemployment out of harmony with general recovery Four Republican members of the Committee assert that national scandal requires immediate action, referring to many charges made against alleged political coercion in the WPA.
 These four members, the minority went further into their report and said the funds appropriated, should keep the WPA operating until April ' and by that date new basis in the conduct of relief activities should be reached.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Felix Frankfurter, Harvard Professor nominated by President Roosevelt for Association Justice on the Sup reme Court Bench, testified today that he supported the rights Of the Ku Klux Klan and Nazi sympath- izers to enjoy the constitutional guarantees of free speech and free assembly.
 Frankfurter gave his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Sub- Committe at the hearing on his nomination to the highest court in the land.
 Frankfurter outlined his connec- tion with the American Civil Lib- critics Union and said he consistent ly insisted that all should receive equal rights under the constitution He further said the Union frequent ly consulted him on major issues. 7
 Under questioning by Senator William E. Borah, Frankfurter fur ther said:
 Some time ago question arose when members of the Ku Klux Klan attempted to hold a mass meeting and parade in my neighboring city of Boston. The city officials sought to stop the Klan from the mass meeting and also from parading. l said they were entitled to the right of free speech and assembly Civil liberties mean liberties to those we like and don't like or even detest."

President Says Existing Forces of Country Ut-
 ferly Inadequate

WASHINGTON, Jan. l2.-Presi- dent Roosevelt today presented his $552, ,000,0 National Defense pro- gram to Congress.
 With the presentation of the Na- tional Defense program, the Presi- dent gave warning that "our ex- isting forces are so utterly inad- equate that they must immediately be strengthened"
 The President recommended in his summary Navy training for civ ilian air pilots and in addition asked for $27,000,000 for an adequate peace garrison" for the Panama Canal Zone.
 The President said the program is devoid of all hysteria and as sub- mitted is but minimum of require ments."
 The President also said the total request for new funds, not all of which will be spent in one year, will lift the recently submitted Budget of $1, ,661, 100000 which is the largest of any peace time outlay. The President urged Congress to take speedy action.
 The program presented includes $450. 100000 for the Army, $65. 900 900 for the Navy and $10,000,000 for training of civilian air pilots. Much Of the appropriation re- quest will go to the upbuilding of the American Air Fleet. The President advocates the im- mediate increase of at least 5000 planes for the Army.
 President Roosevelt said he does not remotely intimate" participa- tion in another war on European soil nor any thought of aggression.
 The President did say that "nev- ertheless. as Executive head of thix Government, am compelled to look facts in their face"
 The President also said, We have splendid asset in the quality of our manhood but without modern weapons and without adequate training, the men, however. of q splendid type, would be hopelessly handicapped if we are attacked. The young men of this nation should not be compelled to take the field with anticipated weapons"

By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. = Con- gress is unlikely to attempt any revolutionary solution of railroad difficulties this session simply be- cause there is no revolutionary so- lution which looks like sure thing.
 A glance at the report of the Presidents railroad executive-em- Eployee committee, together with operating statistics of railroads and their competitors discloses all too clearly the complexity of the problem.
 Not only are the facts of opera ton in themselves difficult to ad- just. to bring about an improve ment in railroad condition, but regional political and economic factors are so entangled that Con- gress could not act independently of them.
 Barely had the committee come forth with it's recommendations than the most railroad-minded member of Congress, Senat tor Wheeler, chairman of the inter- state commerce committee, flatly opposed one of the recommenda- tions. His home state of Montana, together with much of the Rocky Mountain territory, would be badly

Legislature Is 10 Consider Confirmation of Four
 Appointments

First joint session of the Four teenth Territorial Legislature is tc be held Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock for the purpose of consid- ering four appointments announc- ed by Gov. John. w. Troy.
 The House agreed late today to Senate plan for the joint session after the Senate had shown signs incinient rebellion at confirming the appointments.
 Senator O. D. Cochran of Nome said, following reading of the Gov ernor's message listing the appoint ments: T don't feel we are mere automatons to confirm all appoint ments of the Governor"
 Senate President Norman R. Walker reminded Senator Cochran, and Senator Joe Holman of Seward, who also had asked time to consult his constituents in the Third Divis- ion regarding the appointments, that the Governor was not required to consult anyone in making his ap- pointments and that the task of the Senate was merely to confirm them.
 Confirmation will require going into joint session. An original motion by Senator Rivers suggesting that the joint session be held tomorrow was amended by Senator Roden to provide for the session Monday, after the Legislators have had time to consider the appointments.
 Welfare Board Combinations
 Senator Cochran said in the same connection that the appointments of the entire Welfare Board would

BOUNTY LIFT FOR WOLVES
 IS PROPOSED
House Bill Would Give SIS for PeIts and Give
 Territory Hides

Territorial bounty on wolves ana coyotes will be raised to $25 from $2O and the pelts turned over to the Territory for such disposition as the Territorial Treasurer sees lit if House Bill No. l, introduced today for first reading by Harvey J. Smith of the Third Division, goes through
 Representative Smith, in intro ducing the bill proposing changes in the present bounty law, said: We've had so much complaint, and apparently so much trouble with smuggled wolf and coyote from Yu- kon Territory that the Territory has been paying for, this bill had to come. It should solve our problem. ,
 The present wolf and coyote boun- ty payment requirements call for skinning of ulna and radius of front left leg, skin attached, with the pro- cedure of getting bounty consider ably complicated.
 Smiths bill proposes the hide, properly dressed, and prepared" be witnessed by U. s. Commissioner or Postmaster, if a Commissioner is not in the locality, affidavits sworn to and the hide sent to the Terri torial Treasurer, who in turn will pay the bounty and sell the hide, the monies accruing therefrom to the Territory of Alaska going in the General Fund.
 The hides will be sold at pulic auc- tion or wherever the Treasurer deems advisable.
 New Help
 House and Senate concurred to- day on Senate Joint Resolution and a House amendment to the same, providing for additional help in both houses.
