HAROLD I(kE5 HIT AGAIN BY
 JUNEAU (
Admiralty National Monu- ment Regulation Causes
 Attack on Secretary

Adding to the bitter attack of AL aska and Alaskans against Harold L. Iekes in his rloe of master of Alaska" the Juneau Chamber of Commerce today at their noon meet ing called the Secretary of the In- terior man who is placing every possible obstacle in the path of any person to prevent him from gaining title to any portion of the public do- main in Alaska.
 T he diatribe against Secretary Ickes, which further accused him of attempting to reverse the policy of encouraging settlement in the Terri tory, was brought out in a letter from the Juneau Chamber to United States Senator from North Carolina Robert R. Reynolds, asking the sen- ator to help the Territory in it's eff fort to prevent Admiralty Island from being made national monu- ment
 No Reason For Act
 It was pointed out in the letter, written for the executive board Of the Chamber by Juneau attorney Norman Banfield that in spite of the fact that Admiralty Island has no historical or scientific value, neces- sary as specified by law for the es- tablishment of national monument, apparently nothing can be done to prevent the action to withdraw it from the Territory.
 Banfield explained that the only step remaining for the act to be ef- fected is. for President Roosevelt to sign the bill, and that because the President is so busy with defense measures it has been impossible for Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond to see him for explanation of the harm that can be done by such an act"
 Dim0nd Throws In Towel Latest information from Dimond, it was revealed, was that the Alaskan Delegate said the matter was cut and dried, with no method available to stop the signing of the bill. Di- mond said that further efforts on his part would be useless. As result the Juneau Chamber wrote the let ter to Senator Reynolds, called one of Alaska's best friends and sent a copy to Delegate Dimond in an effort to still prevent the action.
 In discussion of results of the pas sage of regulation making na- tional monument out of Admiralty, members showed where further pop ulation of the island would be pre- vented and that any possibility of obtaining 8 pulp or paper mill for Juneau or vicinity would be elimi- mated with the elimination of the island from public domain.
 Tie vitfiollc letter will be mailed to Senator Reynolds and to Delegate Dimond today.

Pre-Easter Thought: Until the
day break and the shadows flee
away" So wany wakeful fears,
so many uncertainties, so many
lonelinesses, end with the morn
ing. It's light is benediction to
the sick, for whom the nights are
so long; it is a new challenge to
action, a new leaf turned in light
and attended by an immemorial
beauty.
Prayer: Almighty and most mer-
ciful God, out of whose providence
the day breaks and the shadows
flee away, we give thee thanks for
the lights of another day, for
morning friends and dear faces see
again. Make us equal to whatever
the day asks of us, guide us by thy
truth, uphold and purify us by the
continued dwelling of thy spirit. On
the Masters name. Amen.
