Governor Sill Hammering at Navy Base Confrdlfs
 with Outside Unions

WASHINGTON, March 21.-T,he appointment of a Labor Conciliator to be stationed in Alaska was held out by Alaska Gov. Ernest Gruen- ing before the House Appropria- tions Committee as the means of helping Alaskans solve their labor employment problems.
 In testimony made public today Gov. Gruening said the chief prob lem is discrimination against AL askan workers by employers and unions.
 Headquarters Outside
 He said the explanation lay in the fact these groups have their headquarters in Seattle or San Francisco.
 Gov Gruening said he is now discussing with the Navy Depart ment, cases of such discrimination at the Navy bases of Sitka and Kodiak
 The Alaska Governor declared contractors there had contracted with 30 or more crafts in the AFL providing that the first man in each craft, and foreman and super visors must come from the States
 Bristol Bay Surprise
 After Gov. Gruenings testimony regarding Bristol Bay fishermen being employed from the States, members of the committee eX- pressed surprise that such condi- tions exist.
 Representative Keefe, Republi- can of Wisconsin. said he believed the problem should be settled by legislative action.
 John Stelman, Director of the Cancellation Service of the Labor Department, said that last year the department sent concillator to Alaska four different times.
 Tt was rather expensive and a lot of time was consumed, Stel- man declared.

 OFF FOR INVESTIGATION
FIier We'll Known : Navi- uated Over Alaska in
 Midget Cub

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, March 21. Civil Aeronautics Inspector l. K. McWilliams took off from here last night by plane to investigate a re- port that pilot Larry Larson was killed in a plane crash near Ninil- chuk, 100 miles south of Anchorage on Cook Inlet.
 Larson was reported to have been carrying passenger, but no report has been made here as to whether or not the passenger was in the plane at the time of the reported crash.
 An Anchorage hotel clerk said Larson was called to pick up Mau- rice w. Carmody, of the Office of Indian Affairs and take him to Ninilchuck.
 Carmody had signed the register from Juneau-Tyonek,' Tyonek be- ing a small Indian settlement on Cook Inlet where Carmody is school teacher and radio operator.
 Larson conducted flying school here and was dealer in Cub air planes.
 He returned three weeks ago from the States where he made a cross continent flight in one of his small planes.

WASHINGTON, March 21-The Long machine in Louisiana has met the fate of the one-hosS shay but visitors to Washington's Statuary Hall in years to come may find Louisiana's most honored son is the late Huey Long.
 Whether they do or don't is up to Governor Earl Long, Huey's brother and the man who was at the wheel when the machine went into the ditch. :
 Back in 1864, when the Civil War was grinding out heroes at a dizzy pace, Congress decided to take the matter in hand It passed a law The law said each state could have two nice pedestals in Statuary Hall, to support the stat ues of the deceased heroes that state considered worthy of such honor
 When Louisiana got back in the union fold, it paid no attention 10 the law. But in 1888, the State Leg islature found hero to their lik- ing and put up $15.000 for statue of the assassinated "Kingfish. ; After that gesture, they did not3l- ing about withdrawing the money from the Treasury and the appro- priation will go back to the state for something else if it isn't with drawn before July, 1941.
 Governor Long hasn't that much time. His official sun sets May IA, when he goes out of office If he acts before then, the name and figure of Huey Long will be per petuated along with such heroes as Samuel Adams, Henry Clay, Jeff Davis, Daniel Webster, Sam Hous- ton, Robert Fulton and John C.. Calhoun, in one of the nations most distinguished halls of fame.
 Both in Washington and Louisi- ana, the state officials asked about it, wouldn't say yea and wouldn't say nay, and the new administra- tion hasn't even hinted what they'll do if Governor Long doesn't choose to put brother Huey in the Capi-

tol. It would hardly seem right, though, to expect the new anti Long administration to honor the man who sewed up Louisiana poli- tics in his own little sack and for so many years refused them even one little peek.
 There is, by the py hardly any better way for 8 state to memori- alize one of it's distinguished sons than by putting him up in marble or bronze in Statuary Hall Even when the deeds of the dead hero are forgotten and his name stirs only a vague recollection, there are the Capitol guides tn jog the mem ory of older visitors to Washington and tell new generations how these men reached their pedeStals in this hall of the mighty.

The Use and Abuse of Wealth,
Proverbs 11:24-31; Luke 16: 6:11-13,
for Sunday, September 20:
Money presents a very practical
subject and serves as test Wheth-
er we are the master OF it or wheth-
er it is the master of us. Which is
master determines our freedom or
slavery.
VS.. "a, rs. There is that scat
tereth. and yet increaseth; and
there is that witholdeth more than
meat. but it tendeth to poverty.
The liberal soul shall be made fat;
and he that watereth shall also be
watered himself" The term "scat-
tereth'' applies to giving to the
needy. 1t often happens that God
gives spiritual riches to the liberal
man. To withhold Christian giving
makes a soul poor spiritually. Ine
extent of ones liberality is de-
termined not only by how much he
gives but also by what he has lett
after he has given. Note that CIV
ing literally there follows unselflsh-
ness and concern about COD
work. A liberal person is better
liked, has more influence with 9TH
ers and enjoys life more than a
stingy person.
V. 26. "He that withholdeth
corn, the people shall curse him:
but blessing shall be on the head OF
him that selleth it." The man who
gains money by infringing on the
rights of others, or in any illegiti-
mate way, does three things: he
wrongs his neighbor, he Injuries
his own soul, and he sins against
God.
V. 27. "He that diligently seek
eth good procureth favour; but he
that seeketh mischief, it shall come
unto him. In seeking to do good
with ones money, one is conscious
ly or unconsciously seeking the IA
yor of God and men, which is term
ed a real blessing.
". %. "He that trusteth in his
riches shall fall; but the righteous
shall flourish as the branch" Some
thing more than riches is needed as
the object of our trust. Riches are
uncertain and at best can not bring
peace of soul or give comfort in
the crises of life. The righteous
flourish in the graces of the spirit.
V. 20. "He that troubleth his
own house shall inherit the wind;
and the fool shall be servant to the
wise of heart" Some of the ways
of troubling ones own house are by
selfishness, harsh words, a doml-
ineering spirit or by bad manage
ment, all of which means failure.
The man who troubles his own
house and can not properly manage
