IMPORTANT MEASURES

Four of the most important measures of the legislative session tossed into the hopper in the House late yesterday afternoon by Representatives Amer J. Peterson of Anchorage and Curtis G. Shat tuck of Juneau
 l.. Workmens Compensation Bill-this measure introduced by Shatuck long has been urged, by the aboring groups of the Territory also the Terri torial Department of Labor Previous bills have failed because they poorly written. This one amends the present act and improves it by doing three things:
 It broadens the coverage under the act to include practically all workers in Alaska
 It sets up administrative agency-an indus trial board" composed of the attorney general the insurance commissioner and the commissioner of labor The Territory of Alaska has been of the very few jurisdictions not providing administrative agency to handle claims under the Workmens Com pensation Law So far the working has had to press his claims through long litigation in the courts at his own expense Under the proposed setup the board would handle such cases.
 The proposed act also would provide for second injury fund.- feature that is important at this time when the Territory should be thinking of its partially disabled veterans who will be back looking for jobs Previously, man with one arm would have to sign away his rights under the law in order to get work because the loss of another arm would mean perma- nent or complete disability and risk flor the en- ployer The bill introduced yesterday would provide a fund to release the employer of this potential burden
 If the measure passes it will be the first complete overhauling of the present outmoded law

war and the demands of health the latter usually comes second.
THE PRESIDENTS HEALTH

THE PRESIDENTS HEALTH It is no secret that the Presi- dents health has suffered some- what from the wear and tear ot the most relentless, ravaging job in i; the world Many others have broken completely under the strain, and the lines on Roosevelt's face show he has not come out un- scared. Yet the rumors about his health have been grossly exagger- ated
 The chief facts are that after his illness last spring, his doctors advised him to cut down his weight, and he has lost about 20 pounds. This shows in his face, already lined with the worry of watching an ever-mounting casualty list and a war which has dragged on and on.
 Also the President has lost most of his teeth in his lower jaw and has new set which is not too comfortable. During important and most embarrassing moments, such as in the middle of a speech, the new teeth sometimes click.
 Finally, the President has be- come more hard-boiled about being seen in public in wheel chair. During the early years in office he was representative on this point He didn't like to have people req lize he couldn't walk. But now he knows that during 12 years in the White House everyone is quite aware of this fact, so he frequently rebels against wearing his stiff and uncomfortable iron and leather braces, without which it is inn possible for him to stand.
 Not only has the President be- come relatively callous about his physical condition, but he is not averse to telling story on him. self, the frankest of which is re-

HOW ROOSEVELT WORKS

But aside from the change in the subject matter of his work, Roose- velt's methods of work have changed little during his long years in the White House. He is awak- ened every morning about 8:30 by his Negro valet, Arthur Prettyman, has breakfast in bed, brewing his own coffee on a bedside table.
 Usually while he is still in bed the personal cabinet drops in-his daughter Anna, Henry Morgenthau, Harry Hopkins, Steve Early, Judge Rosenman, Pa Watson. They plan strategy and line up the days busi- ness.
 By 9:3O he has read five news papers, shaved himself, and is in the Lincoln study where he works for an hour before going over to the Executive Office for the usual round of callers. This continues, with luncheon at his desk, until D. m, when pile of mail and reports occupy his time until around T o'clock.
 There was day when FDR stopped work a bit early for a plunge in the White House swim ming pool, but that rarely hap pens any more. Vice Admiral Ross McIntire, the Presidents personal physician, urges him to get more relaxation, and at one time de- creed that he was not to have business luncheons at his desk. But between the demands of the

garding the Philadelphia Conven

garding the Philadelphia Conven- ton which nominated him in 1886 The President was walking up tt the platform when the bolt came out of the brace on his left knee and he started to fall, in fact would have fallen to the platform; but secret service men held him up and stood around him so that few people could see what was happening. The bolt was replaced, and the President continued, but, he said, very much shaken up. In addition to this, Jimmy Roosevelt had dropped his speech and the pages had scattered all over the platform.
 Then, as Jack Garner delivered his acceptance speech, the pages were rattling in the wind, making whistling noise in the micro phone. Pat Harrison of Mississippi tried to hold the pages down, got one page out og place, and the Vice President repeated one whole page of his speech.
 The President tells how he was worried sick, until the last word of his own address was finished, for fear he would make the same mistake.

HOROSCOPE E "The stars incline
 bat do not c0mpep
THURSDAY, JANUARY 25

Planetary aspects are forceful in the evening of this day, which may be extraordinarily eventful. The forenoon should be suspicious for signing important legal papers.
 HEART AND HOME: The coun- sel of aged members of the family is of special value under this con- figuration. Experience will mean much in aiding wise readjustment of domestic relations as many sol- diers return from severe war ser vice.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Alaska will attract large numbers of settlers this year and next. A period of development, revealing even greater natural resources than have been discovered, is forecast. Russia will contribute to the prosperity of the territory.
 | NATIONAL ISSUES: Astrologers femphasize that first step toward world harmony is effort toward elimination of vice and crime in our own cities and villages. In war time evil flourishes and the de- structive influences of global con flict are reflected in undisciplined minds, the seers declare
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: There is sign that warns of treachery in Germany where it is least to be expected. The square of Saturn and Neptune is read as indicating hate and contempt that will persist long after there is ap- parent acceptance of conditions in- evitable in defeat. The country's chart seems to presage wholesale employment of Germans in re- building Europe.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of in- creased activities. Money from un- usual sources is indicated.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be independent and in- genious. Imaginative and energetic, they have the promise of success full, happy lives.

LONESOME PRESIDENT

Franklin D. Roosevelt has never lost the old sparkle and verve which have characterized his pri- vate and public conversation for 12 long years. Sometimes in press conferences, he is irritable, but he always snaps back. He has his ups and downs.
 After the days work is done, however, after dinner in the White House, after the last intimate callers who sometimes come as late as II D. m, have departed, then, in the Lincoln study you will some times catch rare glimpse of Franklin Roosevelt as he really is in these war years.
 One evening a friend came over to the residence part of the White House to confer with the President on troublesome strikes problem. He walked along the thick carpeted corridor outside the Lincoln study. The President did not hear him. AS the adviser came to the door, which was open, he glanced inside. The room was dark except for one lamp on the Presidents desk which illuminated his face almost as if in stage setting. The Presi- dent sat there. gazing off into space. He was not reading, he was not smoking, he was thinking. And on his face was a look of almost tragic loneliness. A man surrounded by people, problems, and war, and completely alone.

 Consequently, workers only recourse is to take the case to court at his own expense.

 for more direct control of elections by the voters

 A. Teachers Retirement Bi-introduced by Pet

 Security laws do not include teachers. Teachers are
 protected by joint contributory retirement plans in
 39 States and the Territory of Hawaii and by pension plans in two more States Not only would the act
 give teachers protection similar to that received by
 other citizens, but would make it unnecessary for
 older and incompetent teachers to continue to even though they may have become incompetent. The
 bill has the approval of the Board of Education

Southern Bloc
Prepares Fight
on Lynch Bill
B. ERNEST b. vACCARO

WASHINGTON, March %
R)-Another Senate talkathon
shaped up today as southern So
Ions fashioned a vocal onslaught
against new anti-lynching legis-
lation.
Offered by Senator Hawkes.
(R-ND, who said it is patterned
after a Virginia law, its south
ern parentage was vigorously
denied by at least one Dixie
Democrat.
"A state law against lynching
is one thing. but the attempt to
apply federal police control
over purely state functions is
another" Senator Ellender Cd
La told a reporter.
'I'll talk against it as long as
l have the breath to do so, if it
ever gets to the floor"
Hawkes. said the bill is similar
to law enacted by the Virginia
legislature when Senator Byrd
(D-Va was governor.
"No lynching has occurred in
the state since its adoption"
Hawkes. added.
Said Byrd:
"The Virginia law has pre-
vented lynching. but it is state
law. enforced by state authori-
ties"
And. added Senator Russell
(D-Ga):
There never has been less
excuse for legislation of this
kind, Not Only Virginia, but
every state has a law against
lynching"
The Hawkes. bill would i'm
pose up to five years imprison-
ment and $4,000 fire for per-
sons taking the law into their
own hands. In addition it would
make cities and counties liable
for lynchings occurring within
their jurisdiction.
For instance, a county could
be required to pay up to $4,000
to persons injured by mobs or
to next of kin of those killed.

Germany is approaching the

New Flood Peril
Eyed in Arkansas
Engineers Prepare
TO Eose Pressure

NEW ORLEANS, La, March
% - (P) - A new danger spot
developed on the swollen White
River in Arkansas today and at
New Orleans army engineers
were preparing to ease the flood
strain there by opening the
s13 ,000,O 900 Bonnet Carre spill
way.
Opening of the 800 bays of
the spillway would divert the
flood waters into Lake Pont-
chartrain. The spillway has been
opened only once before in ten
years. Stockmen are busy
rounding up the 1900 head of
cattle which Craze the area.
The rising Mississippi has al
ready caused occupants Of flimsy
cabins on stills between the
river and the levee protecting
New Orleans to prepare for
flight to higher ground. Cloth
ing and furniture have been
piled up for sudden movement
to the levee top.
One of the cabins collapsed
yesterday. The occupants moved
out few hours earlier.
The Mississippi has reached
more than 18 feet technical
flood stage is II feet and the
weather bureau predicts a crest
of 20.6 feet between April 7 and
8.
Col. G.. w. Miller, district en-
gineer at Memphis, said the
