Washington. b c. Jan. s4-The
request Of Mariner $. Eccles.
chairman OF the Federal Reserve
system. that the Presidents power
to further devalue the dollar be
scrapped was an Administration
trial balloon Causing considerable
comment when first proposed. the
real facts behind the controversy
have not yet come out.
Congress vs.. Roosevelt
To anticipate that the President
would voluntarily give up any Of
his personal powers must have
made many die hard Republicans
believe once more IN the dawn
OF new day. To think that
Chairman Eccles. a noted "leftist
would OF his own initiative bite
the hand that gave him his job Is
likewise too much 10 believe. NOT
for nothing is this sudden about
face and passive acquiescence on
the part OF the President to a plan
which would shear him OF immense
and hard won power
The boys IN the back room who
said. Its just a game ~ politics
were absolutely right The pro-
posal. is too practically obvious, u
shows the hand OF the master pol
itician too clearly 10 warrant any
other Interpretation II is essen
tial that the President demonstrate
as early as possible TO the people OF
This country that he still has the
upper hand with Congress The
last thing in the world he wants
To do anyway is TO further deyalue
The dollar. But will Congress now
take back what was once taken
from them? Perhaps Congress.
TOO. will want TO play a little pol
itics.
A Sound Proposal
Congress should repeal unsound
legislation and regulations. Any
act Of Congress which will delay
the initiation hazard Is justified
Mr.. Eccles proposal is basically
sound. Originating from the
source ii did, however, it Is bound
to be viewed with suspicion. Thl
is particularly true in view OF the
terrific battle the President put
up two years ago to retain his
personal power TO further deyalue
the dollar. Regardless OF the ulti-
mate fearsome results that the
Presidents existing powers might
bring about. Congress may feel
1t would lose face to now re.
verse itself
The President, through Mr..
Eccles. has passed the initiation ball
to Congress Our lawmakers have
got TO carry II for awhile. My
guess is that right now they are
praying for tumble. Certainly,
there should be removed from our
statute books many OF the crazy
ideas that original New Dealers
had for the RECOMMENDATION Of our
monetary system. The fact Is
that the schemes were never need
ed anyway. Some one in the Ad-
ministration has walked up to the
fact that the country IS getting into
financial hotbox. Perhaps all

Hastily she went over her num-

one that was sweeping the country.
She knew it well, and had sung it
countless times over the micro
phone. Nevertheless, when she went
up to her place in the spotlight, her
heart was pounding against the
tightly-drawn satin Of her bosom.
The orchestra struck up the
opening notes and Kits profess

Both Anchorage and Fair banks Still Claim Right

All plans for an All-Alaska Basket ball tournament between the Juneau Crimson Bears, champions of the Southern Division, and team from the Northern Alaska Division, were abandoned today as both Anchorage and Fairbanks high school teams still claim the Rail Belt Title and the right for the play-off with Ju- neau.
 Juneau High School Principal Alex Durham said that the proposed tournament is cancelled after re- ceiving a radiogram today from An chorage saying that there had been no agreement between the two Rail Belt teams and as to championships, both claiming the honors, and An chorage has called off the trip to Juneau.
 Negotiations between the three top-flight hoop fives have been go- ing on for almost two weeks with no definite agreement being reached

Tentative funeral arrangements for Conrad Goldfield have been announced for Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Services will be held in the Chapel of the Charles w. Car ter Mortuary with the Rev John L. Cauble delivering the eulogy.
 Definite arrangements are pend ing the arrival of brother, Peter Goldfield, leaving Seattle tomorrow on the steamer Mount Mckinley.

title in May of 1886 from Freddie Miller and defended it four times, losing the crown to Henry Arm strong in 1887. He quit boxing entirely year ago and turned to running his health club at Birm- ingham, Ala.
 Now only 33 years old, Sarron said he had put away enough to assure him substantial income, "and I wanted to get out while I was still in full possession of my 1aculties-I didn't intend becom- ing punch drunk trial horse"
 Fought 17 Years
 At that, he fought for IT years and in some 200 bouts, "and I was lucky in getting good purses II made $60,000 on my Australia and New Zealand tour alone"
 Petey expects the Armys train ing program to do great things for boxing by uncovering new pros poets.
 Some of these boys are natural fighters. although they've never been in the ring before" he de- clared.
 He pointed out that there was plenty of opportunity to discover good fighters, with the 31st Divi- sion alone conducting eight bouts weekly in each of 10 rings-a to- tai of 80 per. week. They fight for company championships, regiment championships, brigade champion ships, and the division title. After that, they'll start fighting it out with other divisions and other branches of the service.

 Like Throwing Right
 "Then you take a long thrust with the bayonet, something like throwing hard right-forward on your right foot-and bank!"
 Petey rammed the bayonet into a dummy, tightly wrapped bundle of straight, inch-thick tree branch es, then went on to explain the details of "infighting' after the first thrust.
 The buck private seems happy in his new role.
 I'm learning how to be a sol- d!er from the ground up, doing everything that's in the books"
 In addition to giving bayonet instruction, Petey takes his turn at the other routine workaday tasks and after hours serves as boxing instructor and matchmaker for the 31st division.

steel bridges for the present wood- en bridges on the present line of the railroad between Seward and Mile GA, and that this rehabilita- tion of the line could be made for probably not more than one-third of the cost of building a new line from Mile GA to the head of Pas sage Canal.
 The Delegate further urged upon the subcommittee that if it were deemed necessary to follow the ad- vice of the high command of the Army and build the line into Port age Bay as part of the national defense program, then by all means the present highway north of Sew ard to Turnagain Arm should be built across Turnagain Arm from Sunrise to Bird Point and thence by way of Indian Creek into An chorage; that the length of the new road would be built for only 36 miles and that it could be built for approximately and probably not more than $1,500,000, calculating that it would cost $75O,OOO to build two miles across the head of Turn again Arm from Sunrise to Bird Point. It is expected that this con- struction could be made by a fill with bridges near the center to take care of river and tidal flow. It is reported that the floor of Turnagain Arm at this point is approximately Is feet above the average low tide marking but 1t is covered by water at high tide.
