H006END0RN ALIEN CASE WILL GO 10
 JURY IN MORNING

The case of the United States versus Cornelius Hoogendorn. who is charged with game law viola ton, will go to jury in District Court at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Final arguments were completed today at l1:30 o'clock.
 The Petersburg fur buyers at torneys attempted to establish to- day that Hoogendorn didn't know he wasn't a citizen. He came to this country from Bodegranen, Holland, at the age of IA and thought, his counsel said, that he obtained citi- zenship later when his father was naturalized. On this assumption, he voted on several occasions, it was argued.
 Hoogendorn is accused of buying furs without the license required of aliens.
 Next case to be tried is that of Arminta Osborne, on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon. The jury panel will report at 10 o'clock Monday morning.

JUNEAU SCHOOL TO ACCEPT BENEFITS
 OF YOUTH PROGRAM

Beginning February l, Juneau High School will accept the bene- fits of the National Youth Admin istration, according to Supt. A. B. Phillips.
 Eight students will work under the program, which provides for a maximum sum of $6 for students who are given the privilege of earning by doing certain tasks about the school building. The odd jobs are those ordinarily done by stu dents and that do not require the hiring of extra labor. Those re- ceiving the benefits of the ad- ministration may work a certain number of hours each month re- pairing library books, assisting in the music department repairing mu- sic working in the physical educa- tion department, the manual train ing department, tool shop and other minor repair work.
 The administration sets aside a certain allotment for the Territory, which makes it possible for as many students who desire, to work under the program, until the sum provided has been consumed.
 Gov. Ernest Gruening is admin istrator for the National Youth pro- gram in the Territory.

 WHEREAS, it is understood by our body that the Honorable liar old L. Ickes, Secretary of the h. terior, rendered his resignation 10 you some time ago; and,
 WHEREAS, The Honorbale Sec retary has continually sought to nullify the few remaining purely democratic processes yet in force in Alaska, seeking more and more dic- tatorial power for himself and bu- reaus. One glaring illustration is his congressional bill proposing to give absolute control of our 25,00O mile snore-lands to assign to those he favors, instead of by the regu- lar processes of requirement. now in force. Another; trying to force through Congress his immigration bill bestowing autocratic power on the Secretary to dump into Alaska any number of non-quota immi- grants. and to give unlimited areas of the public domain for their use; and.
 WHEREAS, the Honorable Sec retary has fostered Fascist-like con- trol of the Matanuska farm colony and the Alaska Railroad, skillfully voiding congressional investigations that our people have repeatedly prayed for; and,
 WHEREAS, he has opposed glv- ing rightful preference to Alaska fishermen and labor over transient workers. thus retarding the home building growth of this rich coui1- try; and,
 WHEREAS, his attempt to coerce the 14th Alaska Legislature mto passing certain tax measures was deeply resented by the democrats pioneers of this northland, making them view with suspiciin every rec ommendation from the Departments in Washington; and,
 WHEREAS, he opposes Alaska $ Delegate to Congress, the Honor able Anthony J. Dimond, in almost every endeavor of our representa- tive to have much needed Alaska legislation pass the Congress; and,
 WHEREAS, the Interior Depart ment is now in such ill-repute throughout Alaska, due to the many usurpations and abuses brought

Informers stated the attack was also the most persistent for some time, with thousands of bombs falling and fighter planes machine gunning balloons in every instance.
 Dover Attack

 The audiences of the attack, however, causing three daylight alarms in London alone, was not in vain for the English. as several Nazi planes, both fighters an | bombers, were blasted out of the sky.
 Take to Cover
 Dover residents were forced to take cover for awhile as the un- seen German raiders droppe d bombs, and attacked the huge bal loon barrage over that city in a heavy fog. Blazing balloons fell 'n several parts of the city along with the bombs and vicious machine gun fire.
 Although several big balloons were shot down over the outlying London districts, fewer fell there than over Dover, but bombing Of the once largest city in the world was more concentrated
