Made Secretary

Klichiro Hiranuma, known as jap
ans No. / Fascist, was called TO
the KEY post of home secretary to-
day in a limited cabinet reorganiza-
ton intended TO strengthen the
government in view of the porten-
tous political situation in the world
and in Japan.
The 75-year-old Hiranuma. a
former premier, succeeded Eli va
sui in post that will give him
control of the administration of
home affairs.
At the same time, as part of the

general of the important China
affairs board and a former vice
war minister, was named minister
of justice in succession to Akira
kazami.

the announcement that Japan in
tended to send a military mission
TO Germany and Italy to study
blitzkrleg war methods and that
military. economic and political
commissions would be named by
Japan, Germany and Italy to i'm
plement their alliance. A part of
the picture also was the proSpec-

iShi OShima as ambassador to Ger

of his inSiStence-merely prema-
ture, as it proved-that Japan ally
herself with the Axis powers.

 Pointing out that the Territory has suf- ficient natural sources to properly sup port several mi Hi on people, MT.

 With reference to land transportation needs, Mr. Dimond said, "In my opinion, at the sent time it is not necessary to subsidize farm settlers or other settlers to locate and set up their homes in Alaska If roads and highways are furni shed, the settlers will come just fast we can take care of them. But it s not possi- ble for settlers to lead comfortable life unless roads provided. It is no long.

Modification OF Textile
Wage Regulations Asked

WASHINGTON, June 21.-LP-
LClaudius T. Murchison, president of
the Cotton Textile Institute, urged
the wage-hour administration today
to modify its regulations governing
the employment of learners in the
textile industry.
Wage-hour officials said Murchi-
son suggested the elimination of 2
rule under which each mill seek
ing to employ learners at less than
the 80 IL cents an hour minimum
for the industry must make indi-
vidual applications. The textile
learner rate is 25 cents an hour.
In its place, he proposed that
the wage-hour administration per-
NIT the entire industry to employ
learners up to three per cent of
total plant personnel.

PHILADELPHIA, June 21-R-
The slogan peace and prepared

troversy obviously arising as to
how far the party declaration
should go in endorsing material
assistance to the Allies.
subcommittee, appointed to deal
with the various platform subjects
met throughout the day, including
the group under the Craftsmanship
of ALI M. Landon which is studying
the problem of foreign affairs. It,
Landon said, discussed the thorny
question committed to it at length
and would meet again tomorrow.
From the other subcommittee
came word that the platform 9th.
erwise would closely conform to
the. program submitted last winter
by the Republican program com
mittee under the craftsmanship Of
Glenn Frank.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
some party leaders were urging
that the convention adopt two plat
forms, one brief, concise and point
ed, and the other celebrating al
some length on the points made in
the shorter document. The long
platform, it was suggested, would
be based upon the Frank report
with few changes made.
Landon made it plain that be-
cause of the uncertainty of the sit
uation abroad, he and the sub
committee were in no hurry to put
their views into writing.
"This is a changing world" he
said, land events are moving very
fast"
The events, he added, might
have some influence on the sub
committees conclusions, particu'
larly the nature of the French
peace terms laid down by Adolf
Hitler"
Candidates, speculation upon the
number of ballots it would take te
reach a nomination, and the ap
pointment of Col. Frank Knox anc
Henry L. Stimson to the Roosevelt
cabinet continued to dominate dis
cussions in the fast-gathering con
vention crowds. ]
