 AWAY IN OREGON
Fiery Prohibitionisf Dies After Illness of Only
 Three Weeks

PORTLAND, Oregon, Feb. 17.-Dr Clarence True Wilson, 66, interna- tionally known Prohibitionist, died here yesterday at the Good Samar- itan Hospital. He had been i'll three weeks as result of uremic pois oning, complicated by heart attacks.
 Head for 26 years of the Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church, he threw the full force of dynamic personality into reform work, particularly the fight to ob- tain national prohibition and the subsequent struggle to retain it.
 For 20 years of this term from his office in the Methodist Building, all most within the shadow of the Capitol in Washington, D. O., and on speaking tours to all parts of the country, he waged an unflagging campaign against liquor, gambling and vice.
 To charges that he was injuring the prestige of his church and of religion generally by mixing in

TOKYO, Feb. 17.-United States Ambassador Joseph c. Grew today asked the Japanese Government for an explanation of the Japanese Navy's occupation of Hainan, Chin csc island, some 750 miles west of the Philippine Islands.
 The request was made orally in an interview with Foreign Minister Hachire Arita.
 The American request followed by few days similar requests by French and British ambassadors.
 It is unofficially stated that Arita replied to Ambassador Grew the same as he did to the French and British envoys last Monday and Tuesday, that occupation was for military purposes and also to tight en the Japanese Navy's blockade of the China coast.

 TO imagine that Christianity can fulfill it's functions and the church carry on it's work without ever touching things of civic nature is to dream of unrealities," he said.

 A Republican, Dr. Wilson sup ported Herbert Hoover in the 1928 Presidential campaign against AL fred E. Smith, whom he called a "wet nullifier of the constitution" But in 1932, when President Hoover was running against Franklin D.. Roosevelt, Dr. Wilson created a furore at the Ohio conference of his church when he denounced Hoover as a "deserter from the dry forces the first day he was elected. i"
 He said he was going to vote for Norman Thomas. Socialist candidate for President. He announced later, however, that he had withdrawn his support of Thomas upon learn ing there was wet" plank in the Socialist platform.
 pr. Wilson caused minor sensa- tion in 1881 when he urged Presi- dent Hoover to call out the marines to enforce adherence by New York and New Jersey to the prohibition amndment. That same year he be- came the storm center of another controversy when he was quoted by the press as saying that at the Detroit convention of the American Legion numbers of staggering drunks disgraced the uniform and yelled for beer"

 BY TREASURY DEPARTMENT
Secretary Morqenlhau Asks Congress for Appropria- ton for Base. Also for Fifteen Seaplanes 10 Serve NorthIand; Three New Cutters Also Required for Purposes of National Defense

WASHINGTON, Feb. IT. = The Treasury Department has asked Congress to authorize S2,- 7S3,00O for Coast Guard base air station in Alaska, also con- struction of three new Coast Guard cutters, costing S9,00O,- 900 and the acquisition of 15 seaplanes costing S2,490,000.
 Secretary of Treasury Mor- genthau said the facilities would be in the interest of National Defense"
 The station would be built at a site to be selected by the Treasury Department as deemed the most advantageous to serve the interests of the Coast Guard and National De- fense."
 Secretary Morgenthau wrote to Congress: "The need for Coast Guard air station in AL aska is urgent. The extensive and important seal and fish cries resources of the Govern ment require it. Law enforce ment requires it. This has been forcefully emphasized by the recent encroachments upon our salmon fisheries. This makes it imperative the Coast Guard must have air facilities along the Alaskan Coast"
 Fifteen seaplanes would serve the proposed Alaska station, and other bases. The Secretary said the three cutters would replace obsolete vessels.
