F D R VACATIONS WITH
 3RD TERM STILL MYSTERY

WASHINGTON (P) - Before heading south for a winter vaca- tion President Roosevelt was still maintaining his silence about his political future. At the same time one of his strongest third term supporters Ambassador Jos eph Kennedy renounced any am- bition to become the Democratic standard bearer.
 It was unknown for sometime how long the president would remain away from the national capitol-probably until February 24th, the deadline when his name unless he withdraws it will go officially before the Illinois pres idential primary.
 Asked before he left for the south whether he will take any steps to withdraw it before leav ing, he said he knew nothing of the circumstances there or in Wis consin where his name has also been entered.

ICKES SELECTED AS NO. 1 CROUCH OF UNITED STATES

HARTFORD, Conn. - Despite his refusal to accept an honorary membership in the Crouch Club of American on the ground he was an 'incorrigible optimist" Harold L Ickes, secertary of the Interior, was rated as the out standing national grouch' in the United States.
 The outstanding international grouch" according to the exec utive committee of the Crouch Club was George Bernard Shaw. In the committees opinion Shaw has dominated the international grouch field for 50 years.
 Ned Sparks, dour-faced movie comedian took second place in the national competition.
 Dynamite tempered Donald Duck the Walt Disney character of the comics and movies placed third.
 Shaw was the only competitor considered in the international field.
 The Crouch Club was found ed recently by Willard B Rog- CTS Hartford hotel man who said its purpose is to preserve wit and humor in American life. The clubs motto is:
 we are afraid everything is going to be all right"
 Rogers announced the annual Crouch club dinner would be held in New York on February 29, which has been selected as Crouch day.

ALASKA VISITORS THAT COUNT

Alaskans find a sense of sat isfaction in the prospect of some thing more than tax collectors, inspectors and agents or remote control visiting the Territory the coming summer.
 High federal administrative of ficers who will take the time and trouble to come to Alaska and ac quaint themselves first handed with their duties and the prob letns that here confront them will be doing themselves good turn and at the same time gain the respect and cooperation of the people of the Territory.
 Notable among those heralded as intending to come this year is Col Louis Johnson assistant sec retary of war. His department has big task to perform in put ting over the defense projects in Alaska-and the colonel is not slow in keeping in contact with the situation. He was here two years ago accompanied by Col Monroe Johnson, assistant secre- tary of commerce another live executive who believes in keep ing few leaps ahead of the pro- cession: He also is expected to come again this year.
 A number of other adminiStra- tive heads at Washington who have a lot to do with Alaska, and numerous senators and repre- sentatives might take a leaf out of the books of the two assist ant secretaries mentioned much to their advantage. Let them come and get acquainted and know whereof they speak when they deliberate in the nations councils.
 Col. Louis Johnson plans to do more than merely tour the Terri tory. He intends to come through from Washington in a one-day nonstop flight on one of the big army bombers.
 This flight will get much pub lie attention and demonstrate to the millions of American citi- zens that Alaska and the States are not so far apart after all in this day of rapid air travel.
 The demonstration should go far in hastening the coming of commercial as we'll as military services for the Northland.
 Hail to the live wire leaders who are blazing the trail for greater day in Alaska.

DO ALASKANS FLY?

 70 times as many air miles flown in Alaska as in the United States;
 23 times as many passengers flying in Alaska as in the United States;
 1,034 times as many pounds of freight and express carried by air in Alaska as in the United States;
