POOL WINNER
 ASKS COURT FOR DIVORCE
Husband Contests, Wash ingion Law, Would
 Give Him Split

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct 22,-- Lila Palmer. winnsr of last April's Nenana Ice Pool, told Judge Hell lenthals District Court here today her husband Axel, in Seattle, does mt love her, and she wants a di- vorce on grounds of incompatabil- ity
 Axel has contested the suit and his attorney has asked the suit be dismissed on the grounds Lila is a resident of Seattle.
 If Mrs. Palmer is resident of Seattle, Axel stands to get half of his wife's $42,OOO fortune because the Washington State community property law makes the division mandatory
 Lila testified she and Axel were married November 19, 1899 and that few days later Axel left Seattle and she didn't see him again until last spring. They had lived to- gether but four days, she declared
 Axel's attorney here, declared Mrs. Palmer had given her hus- band $500 when she got to Seattle after winning the ice pool and both had discussed plans for supporting their children by previous mar riages.

PROBLEMS OF PROSPERITY

Governor Gruening Re. turns 10 Capital from
 Travels in Inferior

Observing that he had found most of Alaska extremely prosperous" during his travels through the h. terior, Gov. Ernest Gruening said today on his return to his office in Juneau that the new prosperity has created a number of acute problems.
 The prosperity is largely in con- sequence of the new defense pro- gram. the Governor said, with the places where the new military &C., tivity is under way all booming and other places feeling indirect bene- fits.
 Fortunately the problems with which the communities must wrestle are problems of prosperity and not problems of diversity" the Governor declared.
 Solution Possible
 He said solution of the difficulties would depend upon the energy, in telligence and vision of the com munities affected.
 In addition to the obvious econ omic benefits brought to each com munity by the arrival of great number of additional people, the great purchasing power and increas- ed employment, there are many other benefits to the Territory as a whole, he said.
 Among these he listed better com- munications in the way of roads, transmission facilities and airports.
 New Road Recommended
 The Governor said he hoped be- fore long to receive word that a connecting highway between the Anchorage road system and the

WASHINGTON Big business members of the Commerce Depart ment's Business Advisory Board got the surprise of their lives at the banquet they gave to new Com merce Secretary Jesse Jones.
 The towering, multi-millionalre Texan has not been noted for hls New Dealism. As REC boss, some times he bluntly opposed the White House, and his elevation to the Cabinet met with dour mutters in certain inner Administration quar r. ter.'
 So when Jones rose to address his business hosts, they leaned back in comfortable anticipation of sooth- ing remarks. A few minutes later they were sitting bolt upright in startled astonishment.
 These United States" said the new Secretary of Commerce, "haye been good to us. We. have made money. we have nice homes, wear good clothes, have fine cars and can afford banquets like this one. We can look back 30 years. when most of us started, and chart the cours- es we followed. But we can't look ahead that far and see where we are going.
 But there are some things we do know about the future One of them is that the days of making great fortunes are over That is finished. Another is that the upper third, you and I, have got to have more public minded viewpoint. We must realize that the welfare and we'll being of the lower third is our prob lem. We are not living in world by ourselves. We are as much a part of society as the fellow on the other side of the tracks.
 His problems are our problems and unless something is done about them, the world we know and want to preserve won't last very long. We business men can't afford to be blind, or obstructive, or stupid. You can't turn the clock back. Remem- Der that"
 Equally unexpected was the re- action to the Jones talk. His bllsi- ness hosts applauded vigorously.

TOO MUCH DYNAMITE

The conferees agreed on oniy one thing-that the bill is too full of political dynamite to go tossing around before election and so, as they are doing with a lot of poli- tical dynamite these days, they put it away until November Fol the time being at least, Fedora, employer still can see what he's getting.
 The case of those who want photos was summed up by Con- gressman Ed Gossett of Texas when he said: If this amendment is adopted there is no way of tell ing whether the prospective em- ployee is white or black and em- ployees must be chosen with nc idea of their appearance or physi- cal characteristics.
 The anti-photo faction claims that the present system is a dis elimination against negroes and applicants who have retained that foreign-born look, although they might be Americans from way back.
 The bill is deadlocked, but out of the battle came an interesting little historical item about the business of sending photos with applications to let your prospec- tive employer get some idea of what you look like.

Face or Fingerprint! That's Question Holding Up Adion
 On New Civil Service Bill
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Oct. g. Be. cause the House of Representatives insists that a federal employer has a right to see what he's getting when he takes on new hired help one of the most important pieces of civil service legislation to come up in years, has begged down.
 It's the Ramspeck bill, which would bring into civil service more than 100000 government workers not now classified.
 The joker in the bill is a Sen- ate amendment which would sub- stitute fingerprinting for photo graphs as a means of identifying civil service applicants.
 When it came back to the House with that rider and without a House amendment which would have forced the government to hire workers from the 32 states which do not have their quotas of Federal workers before taking any more from over-quota states, the House went through the dome. It sent the bill back to conference with written instructions to tine House conferees that the bill was not to come back without the quo- ta amendment and with the un- written but understood instruction that the ban on photos was to be

The Food Stamp Plan

next TWO months. Is creating llO
little anxiety and dissatisfaction
among local welfare clients. es-
peciallv colored relief recipients
in the Alfred Street Welfare dis
trict.
Under the food stamp plan
which the City has requested the
Government TO put into operation
persons on relief will be given
orange-colored stamps for food,
instead Of cash. by the welfare
q department. These stamps. it Is
said. NAY be exchanged for any
article 81 food at grocery stores.
In addition 70 the orange stamps
welfare clients will also receive
blue stamps for Federal surplus
commodities, in an amount equal
to fifty per cent of the regular
food allowance. These conmodi-
ties. under the food stamp plan,
Will be sold TO grocerS by the
Government and will be diStri-
buted by them for small handl-
ing charge The blue stamps will
tho he redeemed by the Govern.
nent.
The purpose Of this food stamp
plan is to enable the Government
to dispose of some Of its surplus
| food products at low cost, at the
>same time 10 tighten local vel
fare expenditures in all parts Of
he country. but there IS a posi-
bility that this method may af-
ford some unsuupulous mor-
chants and other handlers Of
these food commodities an OPP
portunity to take advantage of
many welfare clients.
Heretofore. the Welfare de-
partment in Metropolitan Detroit
has given cash allowances to
Welfare clients.
Strong objections are made to
this food stamp plan by welfare
clients because of the subStitu-
ton OF stamps for cash. They
contend that human beings can
not live by bread alone and that
oven people on relief need a GER
tain amount Of cash with which
to buy other essentials.
For example. here is a list Of
some Of the things that under
privileged jobless citizens need.
but cannot purchase with food
stamps: to shoes half-soled,
hats handkerchiefs, simple medi-
cal items for home treatment
such as castor oil for small chill
dren. linameht for aching limbs.
It IS also argued that many chill
drcn Of the undelpriviIeged will
be tempted to begin careers of
crime and prostitution in order
10 secure a little money with
which to buy candy and go to the
movies.
We sincerely hope that the
1000 stamp plan will be so adj
ministered as not to work to the
disadvantage Of those on Wei
fare relief. Their lot at best is not
an easy one and their needs are
not limited to Food.
The unemp. Dyed are not job
less by any fault Of their own.
Therefore, it is the duty of local
and federal officials to see to it
that those on relief are given
possible consideration. Subver-
sive agents are secretly at work
among the underprivileged in
this and other cities, trying to
make them discontented and re-
bellious. Everything should be
done to discourage such social
unrest during these critical times.
