A study by Customs officials here of the new neutrality regulations issued following passage of the re- vised neutrality act indicate that they will have little bearing on AL aska commerce.
 As this part of the world is not one of the war zones designated by the President, ships will continue to travel under the same restrictions as previously American passengers will be allowed to travel on Canadian ships as in the past
 Aircraft operating between Alaska and British Columbia or the Yukon Territory will be required to fill out an additional sworn statement con- taining manifest declarations and the name and address of consignees of the freight carried.

'GIRL DOWNSTAIRS OPENS TONIGHT AT
 CAPITOL THEATRE
Franeiska Ga al, Franehof Tone Star in Sophis-
 fiCaied Comedy

Delightful entertainment is un- folded on the screen of the Capitol Theatre in "The Girl Downstairs. ' which presents the captivating Franciska Gaal co-starred with Franchot Tone.
 The picture gives the Continental Miss Gaal her best opportunities to date and she makes the most of them, endowing her performance as the scullery maid with charm, an in gratiating spirit of comedy and a sympathetic understanding
 The story of 'The Girl Down. stairs" presents a gay young cos mopolitan who falls lightly in love with the daughter of wealthy old man in Switzerland. Tone is ex- tremely capable as the modern To- thario and Rita Johnson is delight ful as the debutante. Walter Con- molly gets laughs as the excitable father.
 In the course of events, Tone is barred from the house and poses as a chauffeur in order to get in. In this guise he meets Katerina, the beautiful scullery maid. He is forced even to take her to a county fair. Thus begin complications which lead to an uproarious denouement.
 There is no attempt at serious drama anywhere The light touch is evident throughout and the direc- ton by Norman Taurog is in har- mony with the theme.

which probably was the influence of man.
 Sport and Food
 The wild turkey is still of some importance as food for residents of certain remote areas, Its greatest economic value today, however, is as an object of sport, though it is largely insectiyorous in it's feeding habits.
 Turkeys, although nonmigratory, are wide-ranging birds, requiring a larger area on which to roam than do most resident species. Some gcbblers have been known to travel 15 miles from their roosts. When submarginal lands and wooded areas were taken over for farms, the tur- key was driven off it's best nesting and feeding grounds.
 The turkey derived it's name by way of England from Africa. In the 17th century guinea fowl were transported from the Dark Conti- nent to the British Isles. These birds were shipped via Turkey, for which country the English gave the name turkey cocke' to the gineau fowl
 Named in England
 When the American bird was shipped to England people became confused and began calling this species the turkey also. The term became popular and has been used for the American bird ever since. The turkey was Benjamin Frank lin's choice for the National emblem.
 Overshooting did not help the turkeys situation, Survey officials commented. In fact, large takes by too many hunters are in great part esponsible for the scarcity of the wild turkey today.
 Drawing a lesson from the past, when man carelessly permitted ether species to die out, Federal agencies, State governments, private examinations and individuals are taking steps to save the turkey.
 Fortunately, attempts to restore it's habitat and to increase it's popu- lation are being made now, before the species comes too close to the danger point. On many of it's or iginal ranges throughout the coun- try. however, it is already gone.
 In some sections of the country, sportsmen, finding turkey hunting poor. have purchased lands upon which to conduct wild turkey man. agement and do their hunting. Sur plus stock may be liberated on club grounds and be hunted by members. Habits Studied Breeding and nesting studies also are being made to learn more about the turkeys habits. Wild turkeys prefer to breed in "a ther dense woodlands, usually near a swamp or stream. The birds nest on the ground and remain well concealed in tangled thickets.
 Even during other seesc25 cs Sn7 year, the wild turkey is assspr at hiding. Experts often are unable to find flock of turkeys even when they know the birds are in certain locality. Formerly the gobbler was easy to approach, but experience apparently has taught it to be wary of man, for now it is suspicious and difficult to reach.
 That the wild turkey will ever be as numerous as it was in the early days is improbable, but certainly vi-

Lending Program
OF President
Believes 1t Is Way
To Check Increase
In Form Tenants
BY the Associated Press,

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
today indorsed farm tenancy provi-
sions Of President Roosevelt's new
81, 300, 900 900 lending program as
one way to check a steady increase
In the number of farm tenants.
Testifying before the Senate
Banking Committee, Secretary Wal
lace said AZ per cent of all farmers
now are tenants, and that the total
Is increasing.
IF this trend is not checked in
the very near future" he said, there
is grave doubt whether Americas
traditional system of family sized
farms can long survive"
Under the lending program, the
Farm Security Administration would
receive $500 900 900 for a seven-year
program of rehabilitation loans to
tenants.
Mr.. Wallace said rehabilitation
leans already have been made to
10000 needy farm families and
that $1,000 Of these paid off their
loans In FULL before they were due
He asserted that almost 1,700 600
farm families now are receiving
average incomes of less than $500
year. and added that most of
these could be restored to decent
living conditions and a productive,
independent status through rehabin-
tation loans"
Discussing another phase of the
lending program, President Roose-
welt expressed approval yesterday
of the Senate committees recon-
mendation that the Export Import
Bank be authorized to lay out $780,
00o, 900 for financing exports.
Originally, Mr.. Roosevelt had
urged 100000, 900 program of
loans to foreign nations. In dis
cussing the change at his press
conference, he said he believed 1t
was satisfactory.
The substitution was made as a
concession to critics of the foreign
loan proposal.

In the Berlin press today.
Adolf Hitler's newspaper, Voel-
kischer Beobachter. inquired: 'Is
acquaintanceship with the German
air force desired?"
All Berlin papers quoted the COM
ment of Paris-Midi to the effect
that the British planes had radius
of action which could confront the
populations of Nurnberg. Leipzig
and Hamburg with eventualities
which could be suited to inspire
reason"
Voelkischer Beobachter's head
lined response was Paris picks a

ment:
"The newspaper overlooks one
trifle in its more than clumsy at
. tempt at intimidation.
THE German air force which Sc
cured immortal fame for itself in
bloody battles in Spain, which has
conquered one international record
after another and stands today at
the peak Of all the air fleets Of the
world, has a radius of action Of
which these newspapers apparently
still do not have the right idea"
Boersenzeitung said Germany has
the best anti-aircraft guns and
countless modern bombers whose
fighting power and radius of action
surpass considerably the correspond
ing capacities of the British and
French air forces.
"It appears to us, therefore, that
If it should come to certain
eventualities' the populations of
Manchester, Birmingham or Edin-
burgh, or of Marseille, Toulouse or

these eventualities far more than

ROME, July 12.-The Italian gov
ernment disclosed today that Premier
Mussolini himself had ordered all
foreigners cleared out of Bolzano
province as political and military"
measure directed against anti
Fascism.
Two American women notified the
United States Embassy they had
received orders to leave Bolzano
within 48 hours, but representations
by Ambassador William Phillips
brought a promise of "every con-
sideration" in their case.
Dorothea Watts of Newport, r. l.,
maintained that to leave on such
short notice would endanger her
mothers health. Mr.. Phillips dis
cussed the case with Giuseppe
Bastianini, acting foreign minister,
who promised that the Americans
would have additional time for their
departure.
u. S. Officials in Province.
Officials said that no exceptions
were being made except in cases of
illness.
Among Americans vacationing in
Bolzano province were Graham H.
Kemper, Consul General at Rome,
and his wife and the wife and child
Of Maj. Jack c. Hodgson, assistant
military and air attache of the Rome
Embassy. Presumably they also will
be required to leave.
A communique said II Duce as
minister Of the interior had ordered
the expulsions from the northern
frontier Tyrolean province which
Italy gained from Austria in the
World War
1t said the action was taken in
conjunction with the Ovra, Italy's
black shirt organization for the sup
preston of anti-Fascism, because of
"the activity of some elements from
western nations and residents in the
Province of Bolzano."
May Be Drive on Spies.
The announcement that military
reasons were involved tended to
support conjectures that the expul-
sions might be part of a drive
against espionage. In Bolzano lies
the famous Brenner Pass between
Italy and Germany, which is of great
military importance
The Italian press, in cautioning
the people against disclosing mill
tary and economic information, has
accused anti-Fascists abroad of spy
ing on Italy.
There was no explanation of the
activity imputed to elements from
Western nations" Some foreign OBJ
servers thought that accounts which
have reached the outside of the
planned repatriation of Germans
and Italian Germans from South
Tyrol might have motivated the ex-
pulsion order. The repatriation
project has not yet been announced
