Gov. James Accuses Ross
Of 'Misusing Public Funds
BY the Associated Press.


HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 10
Republican Gov. Arthur H. James
stepped into an increasingly hot
State political campaign today with
the assertion that State Auditor
General F. Clair Ross, Democratic
gubernatorial nominee, has mis-
used" public funds.
Gov James made the statement in
an open letter urging voters to sup
port the Republican candidate,
Adjutant General Edward Martin,
in the November election.
He said Mr.. Ross has forfeited
any right to the confidence" of voters
by his conduct in Office, by his
abuse of public trust, by his misuse
of public funds.
The Governor did not amplify the
statement.
DR.. Edward B. Logan, secretary of
revenue, asserted several weeks ago
that Mr.. Ross had padded payrolls"
and asked for the dismissal of 1876
Ross-appointed tax workers.
Mr.. Ross opened his campaign last
week with the charge that Gov.
James had failed to support the war

Bring Defect at Polls
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Clarence Burlington Kelland. ex-
ecutive director and publicity chief
of the Republican National Com
mittee, declared in advance of a
Western speaking trip today that
the administration appeared to be
putting off a full war effort until
after the elections lest the attendant
sacrifices have adverse political con-
sequences.
Mr.. Kelland said he would stress
this contention on a campaign trip
beginning tomorrow which would
embrace Michigan, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and probably the Dakotas.
Urges About Effort.
There seems to be disposition
on the part of the powers that be-"
he said in an interview, ito postpone
an all-out war effort, with the sacri-
fees it entails by the public, until
after the elections. There seems to
be apprehension lest the asking of
necessary sacrifices now have po-
litical effect and loss of votes"
Mr.. Kelland said the Republican
party docs not believe in that" and
added:
''It believes the American people
are ready to make any sacrifice of
| comfort or even necessities that the
| war effort requires, and it will not
take any improper political advan-
| tage of any just demand that Is
made upon the American people to
| facilitate our effort in this war"

Now we must have in this emer-
gency a Board of Directors which
is strong, able and efficient to carry
on the vastly more complicated busi-
ness OF our country in time of war"
Mr.. Gannett said a Republican
House would be 'the greatest thing
that could happen" because it would
provide a CHECK on this bungling
management of the war" s
Saying the National Committee
would make a drive for small in
divldual contributions and would
help Republican candidates for Con-
| gress with money and research ma
terial, Mr. Gannett said that what
happened before Pearl Harbor was
mot going to be an issue in any
way"

WAR RISK
INSURANCE
IN ALASKA
BY MARY LEE COUNCIL
Secretary to Delegate Dimond

WASHINGTON-D lee ate Di-
mond appeared before the Senate
Banking and Currency Committee
when the bill, S. 2198, ITO provide
for the financing of War Insur-
ance Corporation, to amend the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton Act, as amended, and for other
purposes" was before that Com
mittee for hearing
The head of the Federal Loan
Agency, Jesse Jones, who is also
Secretary of Commerce, explained
the scope of the insurance, saying
that the press releases issued on
the subject were, in effect, insur-
ance policies.
1t will be remembered that the
first press release stated that the
insurance would cover only prop
erty in the Continental United
States" The second press release
Of December % enlarged the geo.
graphical scope of the insurance so
as to cover also Alaska, Hawaii,
the Philippine Islands, Puerto Rico
and the Virgin Islands. n
: However, the benefits of this
insurance may be had only for
damage to or destruction of build
ings, structures and personal prop
erty, including goods, growing crops
and orchards" and does not cover
accounts, bills, currency debts,
evidences OF debt, money, notes,
securities, paintings and other OBJ
jects of art"
Moreover, the property SO in
sured is insured only as to prop
erty situated in the States, terri
tories and possessions and, there
fore, does not cover any marine
insurance whatever.
Delegate Dimond urged upon the
Committee the ACCESSIBILITY of TAX
ing care of all such insured prop
erty while on the high seas between
any territory or possession and
any other of the several states,
pointing out the condition which
existed in Alaska whereby the
steamship companies had been
granted an increase of rate S
amounting to As percent without
any guaranty that there would not
be further increases. He urged
upon the Committee that the same
considerations which led to the
setting up of this war risk insur-
ance as to property within tn e
States and territories and possess
sions would support in even greater
degree the granting of similar in
surance as to property on the high
seas in transit between States, ter
ritories and possessions where there
is every need of such protection
Hon. Samuel w. King, Delegate
from Hawaii, made similar repre-
sensations with respect to the Ter
ritory of Hawaii and also. asked
that securities and money be in
sured, as well as property which
is now covered by such insurance.
A similar bill, HR. $780, is pend
ing in the House, but it seems like
ly that no action will be taken on
it until the Senate bill is passed
by the Senate.
