TRAPpING IS POOR
 SAYS NELLIE HAVING

Mrs. Nellie Lawing, of Lawing, and better known as Alaska Nellie" re- gently visited Anchorage and de- clared that trapping has been un- usually poor this year duess to the mild season.
 Mrs. Lawing, who has appeared in the movies and written a book about her Alaska life lives in the small community which bears her name and is located on the Alaska Rail- road between Seward and Anchor age.
 During the days when tourists came to the Territory, trains made a ten-minute stop at Lawing so that travellers could visit Nellies museum and listen to her talk on her ex- periences. She took up a collection on these occasions the proceeds of which she said were for the pioneer women of the Territory, for whom she is a great booster.

 TEN SECONDS

NEW YORK, March 6-Gunder Hagg, Swedish ace, who finished last in the five-man race Saturday, said he would run the mile again this week end and that he hoped he could cut at least 10 seconds off the 4:31 time he made Satur- day.
 T could have lowered my time by about eight seconds last Satur- day night, but I saw that I was beaten and there was no need to risk possible injury. I'll make no prediction on how I will come out next time" Haag said through an interpreter.
 Haakon Lidman, English-speak- ing Stockholm sports writer, who won the 60-yard high hurdle ex- hibition on Saturday night, said both he and Haag are in need of rest and workouts.

However, unless you are voter who swallows his senator or repre- sentative whole, it isn't a matter ot great day-to-day importance. That's because the news services, many in dividual newspapers, and radio chains and some stations keep news men on the job in the Capitol. Few of those who cover Congress daily ever bother to look at the Con- grersiondl Record. They were there, Charlie, and most of them knew what happened and exactly what was said no matter how is came out in the Congressional Record.
 Nevertheless, little more foot stomping ike Rep. Rich is doing may have the very good effect of making some members little more cautious about flying off the handle or, when they do, standing on their remarks, so that all who red can run CT vote against or for tten at the next election.
 Rich is back in Congress after a brief period "at leisure" (congress- ionally speaking only, if you've never been up around Woolrich, Pa.) but he's no freshman. He serv- ed his district in northern Pennsyl- vania as COP. representative for more than 12 years-aflc important, tco He now is member of the House Committee on Printing, which has lot to say about rules and reg ulations for putting things in the Congressional Record.

White House WINGS Asked

A proposed outlay of s1,65O,0O0
to expand and modernize the east
and west wings of the White House
was laid before Congress yesterday
by Budget Director Harold D. Smith.
Acting as the agent of the Pres
ident, Mr.. Smith sought the sum
as a supplemental appropriation.
The message stated:
Demands upon the President
growing out of the war and its
aftermath make it desirable to have
space for the staff officers in close
and convenient access to the ex-
ecutive offices.
enlargement, in early stages of
the war, of the east wing of the
White House and the expansion of
the west wing have aided in meet
ing some of the urgent space re-
quirements. Some of the staff as
sistants to the President, however,
are housed elsewhere. In addition,
space for the reception of repre-
sentatives of the pres sand others

A 20-year-old honorably dis

ing this is the last roundup" was
found by his mother early today
hanging from water pipe in the
bathroom Of his home.
The sailor, Robert Paul Taylor,
1901 Irving street NV, recently re-

have been ill. Police said she told
them he went to doctor yesterday.
About midnight he asked his mother
to go to drugstore and have a
prescription filled. Mrs. Taylor re-
turned about an hour later.
He found the chandelier on the
first floor pulled from the. ceiling.
Looking for her son, she found the
bathroom door closed, and receiving
no response to her calls she ran to

RooseveIts Found Nine. Chionq
Problem Child Writer Relates

Even the flexible President was
sometimes baff1ed by madame's
change of pace. One minute she was
all the sweet femininity that en-
chanted Wendell Willkie and her
public; the next she would bang
upon the table and tell him what
he had to do Immediately for China.
He was not seriously annoyed,
however, until she made her ad-
dress to the joint session of Con-
gress. He felt that in it she had in
effect appealed over his head, while
his house guest, to the Congress and
American people to overrule his de-
cisions regarding her country.
The word was also getting around
via the grapevine from Presbyterian
Hospital and the Waldorf Astoria
that madame was still a Soong in
private although democratic in pub
lie and that never the twain shall
meet.
Madame remained serenely un-
conscious that her actions failed to
match her words. To Mrs. Roose-
welt and her secretary, Malyina
Thompson, she marveled:
How do you manage when you go
so many places alone? Who packs
for you? Who buys your tickets?
What do you do about kilograms?
How can you do it alone?"

White House personnel of the
Roosevelt administration have
awarded their prize for understate-
ment to Mrs. Roosevelt for her COM
ment that Nine. Chang sKai-shek
could talk very convincingly about
democracy, it's aims and ideals, but
hasn't any idea how to live it
Madame regarded virtually every
body below cabinet rank as coolies,
according to one outspoken victim,
and it took all the late President's
tact to resweeten the situation on
more than one occasion.
According to custom, Mr.. Roose-
velt had assigned various expert
enced people to guide and assist the
distinguished visitor. Their indig-
nant reports were not long in COM
ing that her charm eluded them;
that she was a problem child net.
One put it fatty that of all the
notables who visited the Roosevelts
during their 12-year tenure, madame
posed the most problems.
Staff Soon Realizes.
When the lady began her series
of visits to the White House the
Roosevelts and staff soon realized
what was meant Madame brought
with her to the rather restricted
guest quarters of the dignified but
by no means spacious mansion two
nieces and a nephew, who felt they
shared her royal prerogatives and
should be so treated; a full compile
ment of nurses (she was suffering
from hives and personal servants.
Her days went strictly according
to her mood and la donna was def
nitely mobile, one source testifles.
For example, she could rarely make
up her mind whether or not she
felt up to dining with the President
and /or Mrs. Roosevelt until the din
ner hour had almost arrived. Other
decisions we're keyed similarly to
her personal convenience only.
Change of Pace.
The housekeeping and secretarial
staffs naturally took a dim view Of
this as well as of the lady's de-
mands for every luxury Of service
and appointment. Mrs. Roosevelt
was sympathetic to their woes, but
of course helpless.

irons is a matter of discussion be-

the destruction with Nazi book

quest for knowledge in Europe.

instructions were received in Tokyo
from the Office of the Secretary of
War that cyclotrons in Japan
