WASHINGTON, Aug. S. = One
question that already is being
asked here is this: rs Marvin
Jones, now elevated to War Food
Administrator and the War Mobili-

something bigger"
That something bigger could only
be the post of running mate to
the President should he make a
bid for a fourth term, as political
leaders of both parties now con-
slider certain.
So far as I can determine, the
first mention of Jones as a vice
presidential possibility came from
that little circle who pass freely
in and out of the doors of the
Presidents study. That mention
may have been no more than a
trial balloon, but the probability
that it was more than that makes
it worth exploring.

NEW ROAD IS
PROJECTED IN
REGION NORTH
Skagway and Dyea to Be
d-Dimond Urges
Further Extension

SKAGWAY, Alaska, Aug 5.-The
possibility of a road between Skag-
way and the Haines military high
way was envisioned today by Dele
gate Anthony J. Dimond as he
touched off the first blast on road
linking the two historic gold rush
ports of Skagway and Dyea.
The Skagway-Dyea road is prof.
ect of the Alaska Road Commission.
1t will connect the inlets where the
'98ers embarked for the Klondike
almost half a century ago.
Skagway is now an important
military port but Dyea is only the
remnant of a ghost town The road
is being constructed under the dl-
rection of Ludwig Frolander OF
Skagway.
After the first geyser-like blast of
rock had dropped into the blue
waters of Long Bay, Delegate d.
mond told Col Caryl r. Hazeltine,
Deputy Chief of Staff of the North
west Service Command, that he hop
ed the Skagway -Dyea road could be
continued until it connected with
the Haines military highway. Such
a connection, Dimond said, would
greatly supplement the road system
of this part of Alaska
The Haines military highway VIII
be the first link between Southeast
Alaska and the interior OF the Ter
ritory and every possible community
could be linked to the Haines nigh
way either by road or by short
ferry connections.
Dimond spoke last night at a
community meeting in the SkagWay
school. He said that despite present
hardships and difficulties, Alaska
would be vastly developed as a result
of war construction.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Twenty
wears ago almost to the month, this
columnist, then very young news
paperman, interviewed Benito Mus
solini, then a very young dictator.
II Duce at that time was rela-
lively fresh in office. He was at
the peak of his popularity. Italy
thrives on drama, and Mussolinl
was the matinee idol. To criticize
him was rank heresy inside Italy,
even unpopular outside Italy. Peo-
pie said he would inaugurate a new
era, new type of government
which would replace outmoded de-
mocracy Mussolini could do no
wrong.
But as look back on that inter-
view with a man who rose SO high,
but fell so low, it was all too ap-
parent even then that he was brit
tie. Even to my inexperienced eyes
he was a papier- mache play-actor
whose success depended on grand
standing.
