WASHINGTON, Feb. l.--Develop- ment Of a direct airliner service be- tween Fairbanks, Alaska, and the United States proper, as joint com mercial aviation and defense un- dertaking, has been discussed by members of Congress and Mayor La- Guardia of New York. chairman of the joint Canadian American De- fense Board.
 Senator Scott w. Lucas, of Illinois, said the plan contemplated an air line from Fairbanks to Fargo. North Dakota, to Chicago and New York, the only feasible route from the standpoint of National Defense project.
 It will require construction of landing fields in Canada along the route in cooperation with the Do- minion Government.
 The airline is essential, it is de- clared, and will provide a conner cial and communication link with Alaska making an important link in the continental defense program.

Development of Alaska
 Tin Concentrates I5 Now
 |nditafed; Build Sme|fer

WASHINGTON, Feb. l. "If there is enough tin concentrates in Alaska to make it worth while we should immediately develop mining of the ore in the Territory for smelling use," Jesse Jones, Chair man of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, told the House Appro- priations Committee during the In- dependent Office Appropriation Bill hearing.
 According to reports revealed at the hearing by Chairman Jones, the government must build a tin shelter of some size, for already it has contracted to buy enough tin concentrates to manufacture 18,00O tons of fine tin each year for five years.
 Tin, probably one of the metals needed most in the United States for it's huge armament construc- tion as valuable alloy, is also one of the metals ranking highest on the importation list to America.
 Jones reported that at present it looks like the REC will have to do the job of building smelter
 Representative E. M. Dirksen of Illinois questioned Jones about the tin deposits in Alaska. stating that he understood all the tin mined there had been shipped to the Straits Settlements Refining Com pany
 Jones replied that the tin mined in Alaska is negligible, but agreed that if enough tin could be mined in the Territory, it should be de- veloped to the fullest extent.
 AS to where and when the tin smelter will be built, or what size it is to be, was not revealed at the hearing.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Wendell Willkie's decision to go to London to gather first-hand information to support the lend-lease armament bill brought him a grateful bow from the White House, but it cost him a hot verbal battle with one of the most potent press packers of his presidential candidacy
 Roy Howard, of the Scripps- How ard group of newspapers and an ardent negotiated peace" advocate, spent the better part of one night trying to persuade Willkie to drop the trip plan.
 ck-stopping Howard in his ar guments was Bruce Barton, former New York Congressman and defeat ed COP aspirant for the seat Of New Dealer Senator Jim Mead. Like Howard, Barton was one of Willkie's earliest and staunchest boosters and played leading role in putting him over at Philadelphia.
 Howard and Barton str0ve might ily in their effort to win Willkie over to their views. But the former COP standard bearer stood firmly by his guns.
 He contended that aiding Britain to beat back the Axis aggressors was crucial to U. s. security; that he had always advocated this and did not propose to change his position. Also, that while he didn't pretend to be a friend of Roosevelt, Roosevelt was elected and if he was to function as President he had to have author ity to do so. He (Willkie) would have demanded this had he been elected, so he was not going to permit per sonal feeling or partisanship pre- vent him from urging such policy for his successful rival.
 Ncte-Several days after this in- cident, General Hugh Johnson, Scripps- Howard columnist, scathing- ly assailed Willkie.

MtAdoo Dies 5uddenIy;;Has
 Heart Attatk
World War Secretary of Treasury, Senator, PoIi-
 tieian, Passes Away

WASHINGTON, Feb. William Gibbs McAdoo, chairman of the Board of the American President Line. died suddenly this forenoon at 10 o'clock in the American hos pital here, as the result of an att tack of the heart.
 Tunnel builder, World Wartime Secretary of the Treasury, lawyer and senator McAdoo had career of many facets.
 He was a power in the councils of the Democratic party for more than 20 years, and played leading, but contrasting roles in two of the most dramatic National Conventions in the annals of American politics.
 At Madison Square Garden in New York, in 1924, McAdco and Alfred E. Smith fought for three weeks in the bitterest battle ever waged for the Democratic presidential nomi- nation, neither yielding until both were defeated and, on the 103rd bal lot, a compromising candidate, John w. Davis, was nominated. Many in- fluential democrats believed that bright prospects for a national vic- tcry were shattered by the bitterness engendered at this tempestuous con- vention.
 Eight years later McAdoo came cut of retirement in California as head. of that states delegation to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
 Swings Victory to Roosevelt
 The A votes of his delegation were pledged to John Nance Garner, but when it appeared that deadlock might result from the contest be- tween the two leading candidates for the nomination, one of whom again was Smith, McAdco appeared on the platform just before the fourth roll call and swung his states votes to Franklin Delano Roosevelt. This ac- tiun started a stampede to the Roosevelt banner which nominated him on that ballot.
 We have not come here to dead lock the convention" McAdoo shout ed at the assemblage which had sensed his purpose and was so noisy his voice could not be heard be- yond the press box None knows betted than I how little nomina- ticn is worth after a deadlock, and we are here to elect as well as nom- mate president"
 McAdoo returned to his home in Los Angeles after the Chicago con- venticn on the crest of a wave of Roosevelt enthusiasm. He announced his candidacy for the United States Senate, won his partys nomination in battle with old line Democratic leaders in California, and went on to win the election in a three-cor- nered contest against Republican and Prohibition Party opposition.
 War Financier
 To McAdoo, as the greatest achievement of his long career. how ever, was given the credit for financ- ing the World War as Secretary of the Treasury. A chance acquain- tanceship with Dr. Woodrow Will
