WINDSOR PLANS
DEPEND ON KING

PARIS The Duke of Windsor
was said by his friends today to
have made his plans for voyages
abroad in 1880 including pos
sible trip to America -dependent
upon the activities of his brother.
King George VI.
Associates said no date had been
fixed either for the return of the
former monarch TO England or for
his long planned trip to the United
States. but it was understood the
duke and duchess still hoped to
make the journey to America.
Any major journey would de
pend largely upon the convenience
of King George, but that is due to
a voluntary decision by the duke
to avoid any embarrassment to his
brother such as might have occur
red if the Windsors had gone to
the Americas before George and
the queen go.

Delegate DmonQ mas introduced m congress q bill to bring Alaska under the Federal Highway Act. Besides bringing greatly enlarged Federal appropria tons into the Territory the would it is believed consolidate the Alaska Road Commission, the Bureau of Public Roads and the Territorial Highway En- eineers office into one road building agency Surprisingly enough, none of the three agencies is opposed to the plan One of it's vigorous supporters in fact is William A. Hesse, Highway Engineer.
 Here is what he has to say about the proposed change
 There are no valid reasons why the provisions, of the Federal Highway Act should not be extended to Alaska but there are abundant reasons why it should be
 At the present time there are three road-buding agencies in Aaska-two Federal and one Territorial The Bureau of Public Roads, under the Department of Agriculture confines it's road work the National Forests and the Alaska Road Commission, under the Interior Department carries on it's road outside of the National Forests while the Territorial Road Board operates both jointly with and independently of the other two.
 Tt is obvious that with such set-up there must be duplicated activities increased overhead costs and a tendency work at cross purposes. While it is not intended to criticize the splendid work that has been performed by both Federal agencies the whole system aside from being awkward and cumbersome, does not give Alaska the voice in road planning and road building that it should by right have.
 "On account of conditions that are peculiar to Alaska some modification of the Federal Highway Act would become necessary in it's application to this Territory but these changes involve serious prob lem would they affect State rights under the law. On the contrary they would be proposed not alone for the purpose of providing adequate and equitable appor torment for Alaska but protect the rights of participating States we'll
 Under provisions of the act approved November 9 1921, Federal funds allocated the following basis:
 "One-tfird a basis of the ratio that the area of the State bears to the total of all States,
 "One-third on basis of the ratio which the popu- of the State the total population of all States, and
 "One-third basis of the ratio that the mileage that the rural delivery routes and the star routes of the State bears to the total mileage of all States
 The provisions of the existing Federal Highway Act make distinction between primary interstate highways and secondary or intercounty highways and fixes the percentage Of each that may be constructed under Federal aid s.
 While our present disconnected roads may be wholly partially connected with another in time have neither primary nor secondary roads in the indicated. Certain prescribed specfca- tions or types that are rigdly insisted upon in the States are unnecessary in Alaska Alaska needs not roads costing from $50oo to $1O0o0 per mile in the interior and from sl5OoO $3ooo0 per mile in the coastal areas will meet rrie requirements for many years to come.

Special DISPATCH to The Star.


ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 14.-"Leon-
ard-to-Lee," a sophomore combina-
ton at Navy this year, may take
the place of the Cooke -to-Powell"
passing pair which proved so effec-
tive last season.
Bob Leonard, a stocky Texan of
100 pounds, who, according to the
coaches, did the best passing of any
member of the team in spring
practice, is the tosser of this duo
and Chet Lee, who played at Latrobe
(Pa.) with Cliff LenZ, is the receiver.
Lee, a back last year and a good
one, was particularly adept in grab
bing passes, and as Leonard did
almost ali of the passing for the
plebes, the two reached an excel
lent understanding. Now Lee has
been shifted to end and will be still
more available as a receiver.
Even if Cookies equal as a passer
is not developed this season, the
Navy squad has plenty of potential
strength in that line. Lenz, the
