the realization that the Nation is
about to open up the country he has
been publicizing for the last II
years since he first went on a geo.
logical survey for Santa Clara Uni

and lectures, he has done much to
dispel the idea that the vast ter
ritory is bleak and barren.
Will Offer Wonderful Vocation.
Father Hubbard traversed much
of the Alcan highway on his way
back last fall. After the war, he
said, automobile tourists are going
to give themselves "a wonderful va
cation" in Alaska via the highway
with hunting and fishing all the
way.
The last frontier he said has
opportunities for the pioneer as
good as any that existed in the his
tory of the continent. He was en-
thusiastic about the dairy farms in
the Matanuska Valley, where the

lasts until sunrise at am.

and adjourned court as various de-
fense attorneys claimored for rec
ognition. Some of them shouted
objections to the contempt proceed
ing, while others objected to dis
missing the present jury venire.
James True, the 66-year-old de-
fendant whose illness had brought
an impasse in the trial since
Wednesday night, was present when
court was convened today.
Mr. Laughlin has been the most
active of the 81 defense attorneys
in filing motions Several times he
had asked Justice Eicher to dis
qualify himself on the ground of
bias against the defense, and once
a futile effort was made to have the
Court of Appeals review the defense
attorneys charges. The appellate
court refused to intervene. Motion
to require cabinet officers and other
officials and various prominent citi-
Gems, including Henry Ford and
Charles "A. Lindbergh, to testify for
the defense also were filed by the
attorney. Decision on these requests
was deferred.
Motion Called Malicious"
Mr.. Laughlin, commenting today
on the prosecution motion, called
ut continuation of a malicious
scheme" of making statements to
the newspapers and attempting to
influence prospective jurors and
added that the Government was
trying ito throttle freedom of speech
and freedom of the press"
An out-of court development was
a request to the congressional judi
ciary committees by another defense
attorney to investigate the conduct
of the trial by Justice Eicher, The
letter was sent by Albert w. Dilling
counsel for and former husband of
Elizabeth Diiling, Chicago writer.
Mr.. Dilling charged the Judge with
bias and prejudice and asked the
Senate and House Committees to
send observers to the trial. Fifteen
complaints were recited in the letter,
which asserted that the jurist "is
completely under the domination of
Government prosecutors"
Mr.. Dilling said copies of his let
ter had been sent to every member
of Congress.
