commended ran directly across the

many mishaps. His report of the
tragedy has not yet been re-
ceived by Lieutenant H. A. Mey-
ers, port commander at Detroit,
who will turn it over to his SUI
periors at the Cleveland office
of the coastguard.
Captain w. T. Kiel, Detroit
representative of the Marine In
spection Service, said today that
the A Board of inquiry will
probably hold hearings for mem
bers of the crew and passenger
list of the Inflated power cruiser
at Detroit and will then take the
testimony of the freighter's
skipper, Captain Tickner and his
crew It Lake Erie port upon
which to base its verdict in re-
gard to the cause of the mishap.
The word regiment" to de-
note a body of troops, made its
appearance in England in the

 Similar legislation has been sug- gested by some of the United States Attorneys and District Judges in Alaska who urge that it would re- sult in considerable saving o1 eA- pense On January B I941. I in trodnced a similar bill in the House applying only to the courts of Alas ka but no action has been taken on it Tor the reason, as l am informed, that some of the members of the House Judiciary Committee doubted the eonstitutionality of such a mea- sure. l have asked Senator MeCar- Ton to have his bill amended so as To include the District Court of AL aska In any event. if the bill should pass the Senate in it's present form. and if the House Committee on the Judiciary should consider if favor ably. there is every reason to be- lieYe that it will be expanded so us 10 cover the District Court of Alaska.

SPOTLIGHT ON. ALASKA

The interest in Alaska since the outbreak of the war. and especially since the Japanese moved into the Aleutians, has been intense. Every day l am many times asked about Alaska and the Aleunans and gold production and reindeer and ship ping and everything else that one can imagine and so many invita- tions have been extended to me to speak about Alaska al all kinds of gatherings that I have been obli- gated to decline most of them. At last the United States is Alaska conscious and is certa5n to continue so. The building of the highway to Alaska, although not on the route recommended by any Alaskan. will

 not yet met because so many mem
 bers Of both House and Senate com mittees have been absent from Washington by reason Of the forth coming election and for other eaus- es It now seems probable that no meeting of the conference commit tees will be held until after the No vember election. The prospects are that the conferees will readily agree to have the bill go into ef- feet for the 1944 election. that be- ing the only point at issue.
 Appropriations For War Purposes
 The magnitude of the war effort from a financial standpoint can be envisioned by the fact as announc- ed by Chairman Cannon of the House Appropriations Committee that with the final enactment of the appropriations bill which passed thp House several days ago carrying about six million in various appro- priations for war purposes. the to- tai amount appropriated by Congress for such purposes will have reached the considerable sum Of $220.OO0.- OOO,000. Since the outbreak of the war on December ', Congress has speedily appropriated all money re- Quired for war purposes. In fact. all such appropriation bills have passed by unanimous vote

pefense stamps at sohOol


 The worthy project so well began last year, that of the sale of de- fense stamps. is to be continued again this term It was amazing how many stamps were sold in the last three months of school. During this period in which they were on sale, over $500 worth were distrib- uted among the school childern.
 A list of pupils has been posted on the bulletin board in the assem- bly, who will sell the stamps dur ing the coming week of school The sales will begin soon, and it is hop ed that the children will cooperate whole-heartedIy, and invest their extra dimes and quarters in the little gummed pieces of paper which will help bring speedy victory.
