SCIENTISTS TELL OF VASTNESS OF ARCTIC RESEARCH AT CONFERENCE

The vastness and the tremen- dOuS amount of research that Is being done in Alaska and how little information we actually do have on Alaska" Don L. Irwin returning to his office this week from the Alaskan Science Con- ference at Washington, D. C., said Was what struck him as the most portentous outcome of the meet ing which was attended by sci entists working on every con ceivable phase of Arctic research for both the white man and the native.
 MT Irwin, who has been con- aucting agricultural experiments here since 1885, presented a pa per at the conference which was held m Washington, D. C., Nov. 3 through II, He is director of Alaska Agricultural Experiment stations with headquarters at Pal mer. Presentation of papers and attendance also at the conference was by invitation. Scientists do- ing work all over Alaska from Point Barrow, where experiments are conducted at a laboratory on foods and clothing for the far north, to research on the control of the mosquito were in atten- dance at the conference.
 Next Meeting May Be Here
 There is every possibility that the next meeting of the confer ence may be held in Alaska. And Evith the similarity of the problems pnfronting Alaska and Canada, 1lere is also a possibility that it might become a joint conference" MT. Irwin said The November meeting at Washington was the first of the Alaskan Science Con- ferenceS which is scheduled to become an annual affair. It was attended by scientists from all over the states, Canada and many foreign countries.
 The only difficulty at the con ference was trying to attend all of the sections where the many Interesting papers were being presented, Mir. Irwin said. One of she recommendations made was that in the future the conference be held an extra day with ses- sions staggered so that all of them could be attended.
 Attends Land Grant Meet
 On Sunday, November 12, fol- lowing the conclusion of the sci entists' conference, Mr. Irwin at tended the annual conference of ahe Association of Land Grant Colleges, which was in progress through November IA. Directors

about a social. political and eco
nomic revolution here. It is not
an accident that the Senate con-
tains 63 lawyers-one short of an
exact two-thirds.
Despite their inside experience
lame-duck Senators find the COM
petition stiff with assorted bu-
reaucrats who have learned theil
way through the red tape jungles
and retreated to lush law prac-
tices. President Roosevelt's for.
mer errand boy, Tommy the

Lobby Act Full Of Holes.
When John F. Maragon's lawyer
described him as "a peanut vendor
among princes" Washington knew
that it was only the truth. The
off1cious and conspicuous lobbyist
like Maragon does not collect the
big money.
Lobby investigations make
headlines; so far not even the
most conscientious politician has
found remedy for the abuse o1
influence except in public opinion
1t is admitted by the Justice De.
partment that the present lobby
act is full of holes: privately they
would not be sorry to see it dis.
