ALASKA COLONIZATION JOKERs

Not many Alaskans would want to sit in deal full of jokers the proposal to colonze the Territory with foreign refugees.
 To the casual reader the King -Havenner Bill (S 357O which would authorize the formation of corporations for the settlement and development of Alaska" would appear harmless enough. It ap- parently sets up safeguards against some of the dangers which Alaskans sensed instnctively behind the Slattery Report and recent announcements of the Secretary of the Interior.
 But bunch of jokers, written into the bill by it's authors Felix Cohen and David Speck of the Department of the Interior, pointed out at the recent Senate Subcommittee hearings in Washington.
 For instance, the bill provides that aliens in excess of U. S. immigration quotas may be admitted to Alaska for colonization purposes. These aliens would have special status and would not be eligible for application for citizenship until after five years and as the bill states until they shall have been reclassified as quota immigrants. The bill goes on to give the Secretary of the Interior authority classify such aliens as quota immigrants in any year in which the quota that year has not other wise been filled This would seem to insure against these special Alaska settlers being slipped into the country in addition to those already allowed under immigration quotas BUT, as was pointed out at the hearings the general U s immigration law pro- vdes that any alien who is in the United States and Alaska is part of the United States-s eligible to apply for naturalization after residence of five years. Joker No. l. M
 Children born in Alaska to these nonquota im- migrants would, of course become American citizens at birth.
 It was also testified at the hearing that 50 per cent of the people brought to Alaska by these de- velopment corporations would have to be, not Ameri can citizens as most of us supposed but American citizens OR quota immigrants who have been law fully admitted to the United States for permanent residence Joker No, 9
 The occupations into which the refugees might enter were thought, rgidly limited by specific mention in the bill After reading the transcript of the hearings, however, get new light on this matter The bill says specifically-why specifically

Philately Lures Willkie
(Philadelphia Record)


 Wendell Willke, we see by the papers, is investi- gating the hobby of stamp collecting. Reason? The COP is after the philatelic vote.
 President Roosevelt, U. s. Philatelist No. and stamp collector long before he got into poli- tics, has helped make the country phiatey consci- ous has been popular with philatests and has used his philatec knowledge to help Jim Farley boost the sales of U. s. stamps to collectors by than ten million dollars in the last eight years
 No wonder Willkie is looking into philately To help him along we suggest he note the current re- port of the Philatelic Agency of the Post Office partment in Washington, which shows that S1 67O worth of stamps sold to collectors through the agency alone and that several million dollars worth more were sold to them thrugh local Post Offices
 In fact, it sounds lot like of the reports of the mounting profits of Commonwealth & South ern, MT Wlkies utility, which F.DR. is supposed to have ruined.

Taylor, A.A.U. Leader,
Dies, Unaware Wife
Had Passed Away
Swim OfficiuI Too
To Be Told Of Death
~ Hours Earlier
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 6.-John +.
Taylor, nationally known amateur
athletic official, died of a prolonged
illness unaware that his wife had
preceded him in death by "a hours.
The 69-year-old natator who
came to America from his native
England passed away last night at
his home, where Mrs. Taylor suf-
fered a fatal heart attack the day
before
Taylor had a nervous breakdown
four months ago, and his condi-
ton was so grave he was not told
Of his wife's death. They will be
buried together Thursday.
Like his late father. James G..
Taylor, who was known on both
sides the Atlantic for his Prov
ess as an oarsman, Taylor not only
competed in swim events here and
in Europe, but also took American
swimming teams to two Olympic
games and was honored with super
vision of an international meet in
Hawaii.
While best known for his SWIM
ming proclivities, his achievements
in amateur boxing and on the track
also were noteworthy.
After more than 20 years of ac-
tive competition, Taylor retired at
the age. of 81 and confined his ac-
tivities to the organization and
supervising of amateur athletics.
He was one of the organizers of
the Allegheny Mountain Association
of the Amateur Athletic Union in
1917 and held the post of secretary
and treasurer since that time. He
also was national chairman of the
A. A. U. Swimming Committee, a
member of the unions Board of

tional A. A. U. Fund. z
