AVIATION NEEDS
RADIO SYSTEM,
SAYS EDWARDS
Major Tells Chamber Air
transportation Is
Sighted Now

Alaska's greatest need, in the eyes
of Major Paul S. Edwards, officer
in charge of the Alaska Commune
cations System, is a network OF radio
and weather stations to aid aviation.
Major Edwards, who has just COM
pleted an aerial trip throughout the
Interior and to Point Barrow, spoke
at todays Juneau Chamber of Com
merce luncheon.
Aviation is going to be Alaskas
basic means of transportation for
many years to come" he said
From Juneau to Nome, he declar-
ed, there is not a single Government
aid to transportation, contrasting
this condition with the modern fac
ilities provided on the comparable
route from Fort Worth, Texas, to
Los Angeles. There, he said, besides
the major highways and railroads,
there are airplane beacons every 70
miles emergency landing fields ev-
cry so miles, teletype and radio wea-
ther reporting all along the way, ter
minal beams, landing lights and per-
fectly kept fields.
Alaska Sighted
The responsibility of the Govern
ment is just as great toward avia-
ton in Alaska as to that in the Stat
es, the Major declared, and these
facilities are as greatly needed here
as anywhere.
To provide adequate weather re-
porting for existing plane routes,
the Weather Bureau would need LAG
more men and $15O,000 worth Of
equipment in Alaska, ne said.
In telephone conversation with Sc
attic yesterday, the Major said he
was informed an item of $1,070,000
has been approved in the Civil Aero
nautics Administration budget for
use in Alaska, but that the appropri-
alton has not yet been made.
High Speeded
Concerning his own Signal Corps
system. Major Edwards said all cir
cults have now been high-speeded
so that the system could handle five
times the amount of traffic which is
going over it at present.
The system employs 1876 men, 100
of them in Alaska.
The permanent policy of the AL
aska Communications System, as
enunciated by Congress. is for the
War Department to operate perm

ABOUT 1870 VICTIMS

Altogether about 1870 acts of Con-
gress have died" by pocket veto.
The first was naturalization bill
killed by President Madison. He also
knocked off the second one, bill
to permit free importation of stere-
otype plates used in printing. His
were not truly pocket vetoes but the
process and effect were the same.
Among the first real pocket vetoes,
where the bill was just slowed away
in a pigeon hole, was applied by
President johnson to the Nebraska
statehood bill in 1866. After that the
device was applied often. If it should
be held unconstitutional all sorts of
things would become potentially
valid. Summers says later legislation
or changed conditions have multi
fled many of the measures but the
possibilities are enormous.

BUT TROUBLES AHEAD


But once Hitler creates the So
called protectorates of Bohemia
Moravia and Slovakia, and tucks
them under his wing, he begins to
mother a chick of another color It's
the same chick that broke up the
first great empire of modern times
the empire created by Charles v
of Flanders, almost exactly 300 years
ago
1t is historically accurate to say
that Charles v retired to a monas-
terry without knowing what hit him.
Ask DIR. Lowell j. Ragatz of George
Washington University, an outstand-
ing authority on central European
history.
Charles v inherited large Eu-
ropean empire" explains the his
torian. His genius made it even
larger, until finally, he ruled over
more of Europe and the world than
any of his contemporaries
Eat the pinnacle Of his power he
had Austria, Hungary, the Neither
lands, Burgundy, Spain, most Of
Italy, and the lions share of the
Americas. But the whole thing prac-
tically fell apart before his eyes
in 1547.
when Charles v stepped down
and divided the empire between his
brother and son. he wrote letter to
friend. He told how he had never
spent more than five days in one
place, so busy was he fighting wars.
attending peace conferences, and
otherwise trying to hold together
what he had accumulated. He reck-
oned his empire was too big for one
man to handle, but he didn't know
why"
In the perspective of the indus
trial age, historians explain the
situation. 1t sprang from the new

1T HAPPENED THIS WAY

The pocket veto problem arose
this way:
There usually are two sessions of
each Congress. The Constitution
gives the President ten days after
receiving a bill either to veto it or
approve it. If he does neither, it
becomes law regardless. If he We
toes it he has to get it back to Con-
gress within the ten days or the
veto doesn't count There is an ex-
ception. Bills damned through in
the final days Of the last session of
a Congress obviously cannot be re-

Nazi Coup Raises Problem
That Finally Col Napoleon
BY MORGAN NJ. BEATTY
AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, April 6. - If
you're inclined to take the head
lines at their face value. and get the
idea that nothing can stop Hitler
consult a historian.
He'll tell you that Hitler has come
to a hurdle-a hurdle the Reich
fuehrer would have done well to
avoid for year or two at least; a
hurdle that may yet be his undoing,
come peace or war
In short, Hitler has run into the
handicap that always confronts en-
pire builders once they get going
the handicap of nationalism.
Nationalism works two ways. 1t
tears up empires, or it binds them
together. Or it may do both at the
same time. Thus nationalism may
help the wise empire builder; or
it may wreck his plans like a RIM
away hurricane. In either case, no
man can explain just what hap
pened.
Until now Hitler has achieved all
his success within the orbit of his
own German nationality. National
ism, therefore, was no handicap to
reckon with. Rather it was his great
est asset His appeal to Germans to
be loyal to their racial and cultural
fatherland always brought a natur-
ally sympathetic response. No man
likes to turn against his heritage.

THE FINGER POINTS

THE FINGER POINTS
We are recalled by the. recent
Coster-Musica affair, the bit of un-
favorable comment that arose when
the first finger printing was done
In order to prove conclusively that
this was one sure way of convicting
criminal. How many jibes, jests
and denunciations were made, how
many caustic remarks were uttered
regarding the uncertainty. The
head of q great business corpora
ton Is arrested and his finger prints
are taken as matter of police
routine. There would be few to
connect this prominent financial
figure with a prisoner of 1909. The
finger prints of the two men were
Identical and the two men became
one personality, due to q card in the
files Of the police. The man who
laughed at the early procedure Of
finger printing when it was in its
infancy, today realizes the value of
this system. The parsonage can
fake his past, his birth certificate,
his name, his financial rating, his
honor, but the finger ends point his
way to destiny.

| mense potential Importance is the
increasing interest certain indus
tries are showing in the guaranteed
annual income system for compen-
Sating their workers. In the past
this has been restricted to very
few concerns, most of them COM
paratively small in size. Now more
and larger concerns are either toy
Ing with the idea, or making defin-
lite plans for adopting it. Among
the latter in Armstrong Cork, which
will experiment with it this year.
Guaranteed wage plans are all the
same in principle, though they vary
somewhat in detail. Some of them
guarantee that the worker will be
given so much work during the year
and be paid so much for it, ire
spective of the time it takes him.
Others guarantee so many hours
employment during the year, as so
much an hour. All of them, of
course, attempt to mitigate the sea-
sonal factor in employment.
It is an obvious fact that high
hourly or daily wage rate is of small
benefit to the worker if he Is out Of
a job for six months Of the year.
A lesser wage rate which he is GER
tain to receive for SO weeks out of
each So is far more satisfactory to
all concerned. The guaranteed an
nual wage has not made great pro-
gress yet in American industry, but
1t promises to be one Of the major
Of the future.
