STOP THE LEMKE BILL

Now that legislation has been approved authorlz- ing the Forest Service to sell timber and enter into contracts with pulp paper companies, the efforts oi all Alaskans should be directed toward defeating al the next session of Congress the so-called Alaska Veterans Homesteading Act measure which If passed would prevent the development of Tongass Ma tona Forest as a single large unit, and Jeopardze the pulp industry.
 The effect of the bill would be to cut the forests I'D into numerous homesteads too small and too numerous to be utilized by paper manufacturers and worthless to any veterans who might homestead.
 The legislation, sponsored by Rep. Lemke Of North Dakota and Rep Peden of Oklahoma who introduced an identical measure, passed the House but was too late for consideration by the Senate until next Janu- ary when it will up.
 Rep Lemke believes that his homesteading act would greatly increase the population of Alaska It would not but it would prevent the establishment Of an industry that would double the population of Alaska permanently

xxx RIDES AGAIN

Despite the Georgia court order officially dissolving the charter of the Ku Klux Klan, here are the minutes of a recent meeting of the Nathan Bedford Forrest XXX Klavern No. l, held at 198l2 Whitehall Street, Atlanta:
 Approximately 90 Klansmen at tended. The Klokan committee ap- proved 3l new applications for membership Copies of the Geor- gia Tribune were distributed to all entering the Klavern, and Grand Dragon Dr. Samuel Green talked about the fine work of the editor, Parson Jack Johnston, who was active in the Klan in 1928 and will be the Exalted Cyclops I of the new Klavern to be set up in Columbus, Ga.
 Grand Dragon Green spoke at i length about the articles in the Georgia Tribune in which Parson Jack accused city, county and state officials of fraud in their prosecu- tion of the pro-Nazi Columbians.
 Plans also discussed for a pub liz demonstration and cross-burn- ing on Missionary Ridge at Ross vile, Ga. It was explained that Klansmen dressed in robes would be on each highway leading into e1 to the initiation spot. Three cars leaving Atlanta were to be driven by Jimmie Helms of the Atlanta police, Klansman Pulliam and Dr Green.
 f Dr. Green urged all Klansmen who have cars to take as many Klansmen as possible who have robes. It was apparent from the plans to direct traffic that the Grand Dragon had the full and complete cooperation of the city police. It was also announced that on August 2 watermelon cutting would be held in Grant Park with ' all Klansmen invited to come pr Eubanks, dentist in the Candler Building, closed the meet ing with a five minute talk on Klancraft.
 NOTE:-The Baptist Minister Parson Jack Johnston. editor of the Georgia Tribune, is not a member of the Southern Baptist Convention, has frequently attack ed Rev. Louis Newton, president of the Convention.

AIRPLANE JUNKET VETOED
 While Senator Brewster's battle between Pan American Airways and Howard Hughes Trans World Airline held the headlines on Cap itol Hill, some interesting wire pulling was attempted down on Pennsylvania Avenue. It illustrates how determined Pan American Air ways is to put across its policy of "one company" to operate over seas air routes.
 What happened was that twelve Congressmen were planning to fly overseas, largely at the in stance of Pan American Airways, to study the one-company idea. However, for once in the his- tory of government. the Civil Aero nautics Board put it's foot down, ruled that the Congressmen would have to pay their own way. This came as a rude shock, and the junket is now off.
 The request for a free ride came from COP Congressman Charles Wolverton of New Jersey, able Chairman of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Commit tee. Under CAB rules, the air lines cannot carry passengers free without special permission of the CAB, so Wolverton wrote asking for that permission.
 However, ex-Senator Josh Lee of Oklahoma, Acting Chairman of Civil Aeronautics. after consult ing with other board members, said no.
 Incidentally, one of the Con- gressmen who wanted to go along to study air routes was Evar Howell, Illinois Republican. Ever though Howell has just been ap- pointed a judge of the U s. Court of Claims, and would not be hack in Congress to vote on the "one company plan for overseas air lines, he was included in the pro- posed Tree ride.
 The Committee, incidentally, had held up its vote on the one-com- pany idea until members could take this overseas trip inspired by Pan American Airways. And when the CAB turned thumbs down, Pan American was so eager to put the junket across that Pan Am officials suggested a trip on airplane credit cards, by which the Congressmen would travel on credit until Congress could ap- propriate the money next Janu- ary.
 However, this struck snag when Alfred Bulwinkle, North Carolina Democrat. and William J. Miller, Connecticut Republican flatly refused to make the trip unless Congress appropriated the

for rejoicing.
A spot check of ten cities and five

100, 1000 teachers with s~ubstandard
certificates. Last year there were
10000 more teaching jobs than
teachers.
The gap is being filed by emer-

The unprecedented number has

HURRICANES: Scourge Of the Tropics

THE government, which has

The mighty Atlantic hurricane

Florida and up the Mississippi last
week with a toll of 40 dead and
$4,000 900 in damage was too big
and savage to tackle. The puny 70

from the gulf early this week was
another matter.
