THIRD REPUBLIC OF
 FRANCE NOW OUT,
 FASCIST REGIME IN

VICHY, France, July 12 - The French parliament has given the of Marshal Henri Petain a free hand to write a new totali- tarian constitution.
 This means the end of the demo- cratic third republic which rose from the ashes of the empire of Ma poleon III.
 Swift parliamentary action sealed the doom of the third French re- public. After the chamber of depu- ties had voted 395 to 3 for a bill granting the Petain government full powers to write a new constitution, the senate coneurred by a vote of 225 to only one against.
 All that is needed now is final formal approval by the national as- sembly, composed of both the houses sitting together.
 Ex-Premier Pierre Leval explain ed why France needs new political institutions to replace the old dem- ocratic processes. He is vice premier in the Petain cabinet. LayaPs lean ings have been pro-fascist

Alaska Democrats are eonverging on Chicago for the opening of the Democratic National convention next Monday, committed by their party convention to support President Roosevelt for a third term. Nation al Committeeman Oscar c. Olson isl going modern, hopping the Clipper out of Juneau this morning, expect ing to be in the Windy City by noon Saturday. Delegate Harvey Smith of Anchorage went through on the first of the week boat south bound. Others who were planning to get there were Luther c. Hess of Fair banks and H. R. VanderLeest of Ju- neau. With Congress reeessing for the convention. Delegate Anehony J. Dimond will be there as an aecred- tied delegate from the First DiYis- ion.
 The lineup named at the Juneau convention, most of whom won't make 1t, are John W Troy, Dimond, o. D. Cochran of Nome, James Campbell Of Anchorage, Smith and Hess as delegates and YanderLeest. Mrs. Helen Bender of Juneau, M. J. Walsh, Nome, Mike Haas, Anchor age. Harry Phillips and Fred Sorri, Fairbanks, alternates.
 Aside from Hess, all the Alaska contingent will be third termers. Hess, conservative of the old school which bred such men as peppery old Carter Glass of Virginia is against the term idea on principle He, like many others who would rather lose than give up a principle, may be caught in the avalanche of draft Roosevelt" boom if the political ob- servers on the battle front are half way right in their gossip.
 ##aN
 While the donkey riders are galloping through the convention hall in Chicago, the school situation becomes more and more foreboding for those who will serve in the next Legislature. The hammer and anvil chorus at present seems to be dir l nell, President of the University of Alaska. pr. James c. Ryan, who succeeded depOsed A n [ h ony B. Karnes as Commissioner of Educa- tion, is a former University teacher, and labelled a Bunnell man. Board of Education's action in providing that all teachers in Alaska first get ] the o. k. of the University of Alaska before being eligible for jobs in the schools of the Territory, put Bun nell in the drivers seat. Opponents of the idea declare that Dr. Bun nell now not only runs the Univer- sity but the entire school system of Alaska. He's charged with being a three-staff man-one staff coming on the job, one on the job and the other dismissed. While there are a lot of changes in the teaching staff at the University, the genial doctor isn't that hard to get along with. He has demonstrated too many times before Legislators out for his hide that he can take it. They always wind up by giving him a handsome appropriation. Then he goes back to Congress and gets bit more. Those who are out with the bud | geon for Bunnell are going to find they are up against Alaska's No. lobbyist, who usually lands what he goes after. If, as some charge, he is now running Alaskas school sys- tenn, he'll probably be pretty hard man to dislodge.

Voters May Pass on Issue
OF Acquiring Airport Site

Whether Tacoma is to get back
on the map of American airways
may be voted upon by the people
at the March IL election.
At the urging of the airport
Gang" civic group headed by M.
J. McCaslin, the council discussed
the question Wednesday with Cor
poration Counsel Carothers and
an ordinance will be laid before
the council Monday for emergency
action.
It appeared probable the ques-
ton to be presented to the voters
March IL would be based. not on
a bond issue, but upon a special
levy of two mills for one year to
pay for acquiring the suggested
site Of around $50 acres.
Site on Sixth Ave.
McCaslin's committee said the
only site in which the federal civil
aeronautics authority could be SUI
ficiently interested to grant aid
would be that lying south of Sixth
ave. extending to the Fircrest
road, and bounded east and west
by Pearl st. and the Jackson-Alex-
ander road.
The committee said 1t did not
expect the city to go to any ex-
tensive outlay for improvement OF
the site at first, but to approach
its development gradually. Nc
Casiin expressed positive belief the
federal civil aeronautics authority
would step in. If the city owned
the site to assist in development
of the field.
Cost Half Million
Karl B. Kellogg, secretary OF
Pierce County Taxation bureau,
said his bureau had been making
some study of the airport question
but had not yet committed itself
one way or the other. However,
he pointed out that the bureau
had noted the county's experience
with airport operation. and found
that the original $500. 900 bond
issue voted by the people had been
stretched to $780, 900 in expense
by interest charges and operation
expenses, and that 5000, 900 more
had been spent on the field under
the CwA program of relief work.
McCaslin replied that he was
definitely against a bond issue
for airport development here, but
pointed out in the county airport
case that the community benefits
from federal construction of the
McChord field sirbsse for the army
would compensate MANIFOLD for
the county's original investment IN
its own field.
Must Act Quickly
With McCashn appeared Al os-
valid. Norman Henshaw. George

If the proposition Is TO be placed

on the March IL ballot, the coun-
Gil must act on the ordinance not
later than next Wednesday, and
make the ordinance effective by an
emergency clause.
McCaslin said all he asked was
that the people of Tacoma have
an opportunity to vote on the
question.

He said a decision on the Lin
coin bowl proposition will be post
poned until the boards next meet
ing Tuesday at 7:30 p. m.
Members of the Lincoln Citizens
club who attended the meeting
were taken back by this new
development and asked for time to
consider it.
The additional two mills would
be for improving lighting facilities
at Stadium and for redecorating
the interior.
