law the fine was credited to a court
fund in stead of to the town of
Wrangell as the taxes would have
been. The Delegate has special
bill pending in Congress to author
ize the court to transfer this money
to the city treasurer of Wrangell.
The bill just introduced is to meet
such situations as may occur in the
future without the need of special
legislation.

Delegate on the opening day of the
session is one to authorize the Gov

ten has won White House support
for his policies.
Reports from back home-Utah--
are that Eccles might oppose Sen.
william H. King, an anti-New Deal
Democrat, this year for the Demo-
cratic senate nomination. King has
been most critical of the spending
policies endorsed by EccleS.
Persons familiar with Utah poll
tics doubt Eccles will make the race
unless prospects for success are con-
siderably brighter than they now ap-
pear to be, Against his candidacy Is
the fact that under Utah's direct
primary laws 1t Is possible to switch
parties, that Is for Republicans to
go into the Democratic primary and
vice versa.
Furthermore, there probably
would be several Democratic cam
didates, the United Press was in
formed, and since there is no run
of the chances would favor re-nom-
nation Of King with strong bi-par-
tisan conservative support while
New Deal votes were scattered
among Eccles and such others as
might be available to receive them.
For those reasons, 1t Is understood,
Eccles Is reluctant to go into cleo
tive politics. The obstacle to accept
ance or regular disappointment to
the board for terms Of years Is a
statutory prohibition against re-
signed chairman engaging In pri-
Vate business or banking for two
years after leaving office.
If Eccles took full term re-ap-
pointment, 1t Is understood, 1t would
be with the idea Of resigning II the
president elected next November
was unsympathetic with his SPEND
ing and tax ideas. But the prohibit
ton against re-entry into private
business would be q considerable
hardship because Of the extensive
nature Of his banking and indus
trial connections. That problem
might be worked out by request to
Congress to lift the prohibition In
Eccles' case.
Continuance OF Mr.. Roosevelt In
the White House or election Of q
New Dealer probably would make
Eccles' continued chairmanship
welcome, but triumph Of O conserva-
tive Democrat or Republican would
eliminate the spending and taxing
cooperation which has existed be-
tween the reserve board chairman
and the White House.

Patrick's day should be celebrated
this year on the traditional March

Most Reverend Maurice r. Me-
Auliffe, Bishop Of Hartford, for a
recommendation on the observance.
The difficulty is caused by the fact
that this year March 18th is also
Palm Sunday, solemn occasion In
the calendar Of the Catholic church.
In Massachusetts,, some churches
have already announced plans to
pay honor to st. Patrick on April 8
rather than on the customary date
