TEXANS IN ALASKA TO TAKE FUGITIVE SOUTH

Two law officers from Texas, complete with riding boots and sombreros, arrived in Juneau re gently on the steamer Yukon to take back a fugitive counterfeit CT who had eluded them for 3 years until he was arrested in Ketchikan a month ago as a stow away.
 U. s. Marshal J. R. Wright of the Northern District of Texas, with offices at Forth Worth, and Deputy Marshal Rufus Peve- house, who is in charge of the Dallas Division say this is the farthest they ever came to bring fugitive to justice. Marshal Wright once went from Fort Worth to Montreal for a prison CT. Fort Worth to Juneau is a bit farther.
 Parole ViOlatOr
 The Ketchikan fugitive, Jesse Willard Greene, -29, has a long record of counterfeiting, the of ficers said. He was sentenced in 1887 by Federal Judge James G. Wilson tO two wears in priSOn. but was let out on probation. Greene never reported a single time to the probation officer, and until a Federal Bureau of Investi gation check of fngerprints prov ed the Ketchikan prisoner to be the man wanted in Texas, Mar shal Wright had not heard from him.
 New Act
 Greene was taken off a north bound steamer under new stow away act, making it a federal off, fense to stow away on any U. s. vessel.
 The officers picked up Greene at Ketchikan and continued to Seattle where they left the auto mobile in which they drove north.

Dimond Obtains CCC Amendment Aiding Indians

Word has just been received in Juneau that Congress has pass edand sent to the President for approval an amendment to the CCC act. This amendemen, spon- sored by Delegate Dimond, elim- mates Indians from the provision of the CCC act that none may serve a longer time in the CCC than four "six-month" enroll ment periods.
 The amendment is highly im- portant to the Alaska Indians and to the Territory at large. It affords the chance of continued employment of Indians during the long winter season when oth CT forms of gainful work for this part of the populations are al most entirely lacking. Also, the work of the Alaskan Indians in the CCC is largely directed to- ward betterment of the living conditions around the local na- tive villages.
 The CCC activities in South east Alaska are supervised by the Forest Service with the Of flee of Indian Affairs acting as adivser; other Federal as well as Territorial agencies also cooper ate in the work. The Territorial Highway Engineers office, espec- tally, cooperates financially in many cases where the work pro- jects involve the construction of roals, trails and airports.

PULPIT EDITORIAL
by Wilbur P. Wood

Channing Pollock in a recent is sue of ''The American Mercury which was reprinted in 'The Readers Digest on Why l Don't Go To Church." Rev. Will bur P. Wood, pastor of the Feder ated Church, has written a let ter to Mir. Pollock in answer to his article. It follows:
 MT. Charming Pollock
 Dear Sir:
 One person in one hundred can worship adequately as you can, by watching the wonders of Gods creations. But what did you do to the mind of that young English girl who's religious addi- tude was so different from yours? Her spreading the story that you lacked religion is evidence that you did not explain to her suffic- iently what religion meant to you. Was it not the organized church that gave you, and count less others, your technique of worship? We must support such church.
 I, too, like to worship in the beauty of Gods world. I advise that people develop such an abil ity. We must remember, at the same time, that there are count less individuals who are desper- ate in their search for help and encouragement and have not the power of meeting their problems without the aid of others. It is the special mission of those who minister, both priests and lay men, to share their experiences with those who have not suffic- tent contact with God.
 Why is it that I do not go to the public library and read free the great current plays, rather than pay high price to see them acted on the stage? The answer is plain-because I can feel the much stronger emotions one ex- periences when hundreds of oth- CTS and enjoying them also. Only as we have a common worship do we contact God in all of his majesty.
 We sadly agree that many preachers are inadequate to their tremendous task. I also find it difficult to worship under the guidance of some, although it is often true that if we would low CT our pride, the situation would be improved. Occasionally one can quietly move to another church until the offending per son be promoted" But never let only one man keep you from experiencing God
 Dangerous pacifzm" is a phIa5e which you unfortunately used. Who can deny that love is better than war? I was at once reminded of your play, ''The Fool The scene is that in which ReV. Dr. Wadham, a comfortable cleric among the Well-to-do, is ad visiag the young idealist assist an, Dan Gilehrist, on how to pre3ah on Peace" that Christ mas Eve. Dan wants to preach on world peace, but Dr. Wadham tries tactfully to suggest he nigh say, Now there are many kinds of peace :" My interpret ation was that Dan Gilchrist was your ideal. You were giving us a peace message in an excellent way. Do you find peace any less desirable today than when you wrote the play? We do not dis claim the fact that there are those who lack tact in present ing the ideal of peace; but let US not totally deny the clergy the right to keep sight of the ideal.
 There must be an organized church is sin and crime, so pow erfu'ly systamatized are to be quasAed Tssre is need of com mon worship-a sharing worship. Such can be found in beauti- ful cathedral, or in a humble chapel. There is life there!
 Sincerely,

Private Initiative Needs Public
HOUSING Aid in Calf. :, Pomeroy Says

SACRAMENTO, April "a, CUP)-
California should take the leader
ship in public housing projects to
stimulate construction and the well
fare OF low income families, the
Assembly Housing committee was
told yesterday by Harold Pomeroy,
former state relief administrator
and newly appointed director OF the
Sacramento Housing Authority.
The committee met in Yuba City
Monday and finished its Sacrament
to hearing today.
Pomeroy surveyed the entire state
housing problem, explained the in
adequate attempts being made to
house adequately the thousands of
migrants coming to California, and
concluded that private initiative
needed public housing assistance.
Pubic housing does not compete
with private industry because the
very low income groups are not ac-
ceSSible to private initiative" Pom
eroy said Instead, hundreds of
men are employed in construction
community health and juvenile del
inquency are bettered, and property
values are increased"

Bill Hart Bitter
Over Shooting of
Prize Great Dane

HOLLYWOOD. April "a. UP)-
William S. Hart was too bitter to
talk" today about the shooting OF
his $1,000 Great Dane.
The thin-faced. silent hero of the
early movies, who served film JUS
tice with two smoking revolvers,
learned that a warrant had been
issued for Duncan Mcdonald, on
charges of shooting the actors dog
with shotgun last Friday. Veter-
inarians said the animal probably
would live.
Sheriff's deputies said the dog
had wandered from Hart's ranch
and gone to the nearby home of
Mrs. Charles Mack. widow of the
radio comedian. Mcdonald, who is
tenant on Mrs. Mack's acres
assertedly fired at the dog.
Mrs. Mack said that after wound
ing the prize Dane. the 20-year- old
Mcdonald boasted that I've just
shot Bill Hart's dog"
Hart, more grim than when he
rescued pretty women in the silent
film days. watched constantly over
his pet until the danger of gan
creme had passed. I'm too bitter
to even talk about it." he said.

Bobson Says Only
Spiritual upIift
Will Save Nation
By ROGER BABSON

WASHINGTON, D. c., April "a
Democracy is facing a purging OF
some kind. For democracy to Sue
ceed. it must, in some way. be revis-
ed. Otherwise. with those on relief
propagating proportionately more
rapidly than the employed. with de-
pendent wage workers increasing in
percentage more rapidly than those
willing to employ others. democracy
as now set up-is headed for the
rocks! Some character and intelli-
gence tests must be discovered and
applied to separate the fit" from
the unfit when it comes to voting
My mail is crammed with letters
suggesting that people on relief
should not be allowed to vote while
on relief. Some good citizens be-
lieve that government employees
should not vote. Other even go SO
far as to say that only those who
work either as wage workers or
employers should vote. They point
out that the constitution prohibits
the residents of the District of Col
umbia from voting. AS travel about
the country. I find a strong and
growing feeling on this franchise
question. More and more people be-
lieve that unemployment will be
solved only as it becomes disgrace
not to work in some capacity.
One Vote Per City
I can't go so far as to believe
we should disfranchise anyone. But
I do believe that we must adopt the
Unite Voting System on state and
national matters. Each citizen
should directly vote for the officials
of his own town or city as he does
now. In state and national elec-
tions, however, city or town should
have only one vote. AS a man has
only vote irrespective of his wealth,
as a congressional district has only
one vote, irrespective of its acreage,
so a political unit should have only
one vote, irrespective of its popula-
ton. BY giving city voters freedom
from state interference in running
their own affairs, they would quick
ly agree to such a constitutional
amendment.
Another plan and one which is
creating much interest in southern

Rent for Movies

PHOENIX. April "a. (UP)-Sec-
retary of Interior Harold Ickes has
modified his order establishing fees
as high as $500 per day for movie
companies filming pictures on gov
erncent land, it was announced to-
day.
The modification. according to
word from Sen Carl Hayden in
Washington, reduces the top daily
rental from $500 to S100.
Ickes evoked protests from state
officials last week when he decreed
that the movie companies must pay
from $50 to $500 for use of federal
ly controlled lands.
Arizona officials protested to the
states congressional delegation that
the high fees would discourage the
growth of the movie industry in the
