Doings Of The Alaska Development Board

Support for construction of a highway from Fairbanks to Nome, to open up vast new section and tie the Boring Sea area overland to the rest of the Territory, was voiced at a meeting of the Alaska Development Board last week in Juneau.
 Establishment of one or more ore purchasing depots in Alaska will be urged by the Board upon national defense agencies. The Board decided to renew it's effort to obtain an increase in the price of gold.
 Other actions included support for Pacific Northwest steel mill, the Juneau-Atlin highway. Cop per River highway, continuation of the Juneau-Haines- -Skagway car ferry and inauguration of Ketchikan-Prince Rupert air ser vice.
 In connection with a compre- hensive review of industrial pos abilities and progress, the Board decided to invite the Special Newsprint subcommittee of the House of Representatives to visit Alaska to learn at first hand the opportunities the Territory pro-

Seattle Fighter Climbs Toward Lightheavy Grown

SEATTLE, P)-A short, sharp left hook thrown by Seattle's sen- sational light-heavy boxer, Harry RiO Matthews, Friday night ac- centuated the Kids challenges for the light-heavyweight and heavyweight championships of the boxing world.
 The pile-driver smash knocked out Lloyd Marshall of Cleveland two minutes and 25 seconds after their scheduled 1O-round main event opened before 7,100 fans who paid $3O,OOO to see the brief encounter.
 Matthews weighed 176, Mar shall 17313. ...
 It was a short, scientific spar ring match as the two willy foes felt each other out. Rights and lefts flicked in a feeling-out pro- cess for nearly two minutes.
 Marshall, the man who once knocked out Ezzard Charles and holds decisions over ight-heavy king Joey Maxim and Jake La

Motta, was the first to land a solid blow. He stung Matthews with a right to the head.
 A short, sharp exchange fol- lowed. They stepped apart. Mar shall started a left punch-but so did Matthews. The Kids" was shorter, faster and the only one that landed. It caught Marshall on the chin.
 The Celeveland Negro veteran fell with thud and scarcely moved while the referee counted. He rolled over at the count of nine but couldn't rise.

 Jailing of Green on a contempt conviction was the top develop ment as United States authorities pushed home-front offensive againstdomestic reds.
 Another government action was a motion to force William z. Foster, the ailing titular head of American communism, to supply a new $10,O0O bail or go to jail. He currently is free on GRO bail, which has been outlawed by a federal judge. v
 Altogether there are 34 Ameri- can communists under indictment on charges of conspiring to teach violent overthrow of the U. S. government.

Judge Morris Weighs
Union Leader Ra|ey
Contempt Evidence .

District Court Judge James w.
Morris today had under advise
ment the contempt of Congress
case involving Talmadge Raley,
business representative of Gin
cinnati area local of the United
Electrical, Radio and Machine
Workers of America.
Final arguments were heard by
Judge Morris yesterday. The
judge is hearing the case without
a jury.
Raley was accused of contempt
of Congress in an 11-count indict-
ment for refusing to answer
questions last July IA before
one-man subcommittee of the
House Committee on Un-Ameri-
can Activities.
The last four counts of the in
dictment, were dropped by the
prosecution on the theory that
Raley had a right not to answer
them on grounds of fear of pos
Sible self determination.
/ Assistant United States Attor-
ney Charles B. Murray argued
that, in refusing to answer one of
the questions as to whether he
knew a Ruth Schechter, Raley
did not state clearly that he re-
fused to do so for fear of possible
Standardization. Mr.. Murray
also declared Raley could have
answered the other questions
without fear of possible self-in-
elimination.
Defense Attorney David Scrib-
ner argued that Raley had in
voked his right to refuse any of
the questions for fear of possible
self determination. The other
six questions were as to whether
he knew certain persons and as
to whether one of them was one
of the organizers for the union.
One of the charges abandoned
by the prosecution involved a
question as to whether a stenog-
rapher could be employed in the
Office of the union without be-
coming a member of the Com
munist Party"
In addition to the Raley case.
Judge Morris also has under ao-
visement the contempt of Con-
gress case involving Thomas j.
Fitzpatrick, chief steward. Of
local of the union in the Pitts
burgh area. Judge Morris took
the Fitzpatrick case under ad-
visement last week after trial.
OF three other officials Of the
union who have been tried. the
results are as follows:
James j. Matles, organizing
director of the union, was acquit-
ted of contempt of Congress
charges yesterday by Judge F.
Dickinson Let's.
Julius Emspak, national secre-
tary-treasurer of the union. re-
Gently was found guilty by Judge
Let's and sentenced to serve six
months and pay $500 fine.
Thomas Quinn, field organizer
of the union, recently was found
guilty by Judge James r. Kirk
land and sentenced to serve from
four months to a year and pay
a $500 fine.
Both Emspak and Quinn are
free under bond, pending appeals.

Browder 10 Resume
Contempt Case Fight
In Court Here Today

Communist Earl Browder's Dis
trict Court fight to keep out of
jail'by refusing to answer a Sen
ate subcommittee questions was
to be resumed at 1870 pm. today
The CRAVING former secretary of
the American Communist Party
yesterday fired his own opening
gun-a one-hour peroration to the
jury - while his courJ-appeinted
counsel. Roger Robb. sat with
arms folded.
Browder is charged with con-
tempt in a 16-count indictment
listing 16 questions he refused to
answer before a Senate Foreign
Relations subcommittee last April
81. The subcommittee, headed by
former Senator Tydings, Demo-
crat. of Maryland. was investigat-
ing possible Communist influences
in the State Department.
One Government Witness.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney William Hitz expects to pro-
duce only one witness for the
Government. Due on the stand
today is Edward P Morgan. COM
mittee counsel. Following the pat
tern of other recent contempt of
Congress cases. Mr.. Morgan is ex-
pected to testify as to the peril
nency of the Senate investigation
and to verify that Browder re-
fused to answer the questions
listed in the indictment.
In his opening argument to the
. jury of six men and six women
before Judge F. Dickinson Let's.
Prosecutor Hitz said the Govern
ment will show that Browder re-
fused to answer certain questions
without claiming the Constitution
al privilege against self-incrimi-
nation. ,.
Defendants refusals were
without any legal justification
whatever" Mr.. Hitz said. His
answers in effect were to tell the
committee it's none of your af-
fair"
For, his part Browder has al
ready subpoenaed all five mem
bers of the subcommittee as de-
tense witnesses.
) Eiaborates on Question.
In booming tones and with
sweeping gestures. he told the
jury he intends to prove that the
subcommittee lacked proper au-
thority to question him. In any
event, he added, he had a right
to refuse answers because de
fendant Browder was guided in
his conduct by a certain under
standing of his legal rights"
He urged the jury to regard as
facts to be considered in the case
such elements as his attitude,
frame Of mind and intentions" at
the time of the hearings.
Browder elaborted on one ques-
ton, involving a New York meet
Ing five years ago with a Chinese
Red delegate to the United Ma
tionS.
His refusal to answer that one
at the particular time of the
hearings, he argued, would have
represented an invasion of the
privacy of diplomatic missions" /"
He further explained that he had
been moved by a desire to
prevent further !, deterioration on
relations between the Governs
ments of the United States and
china
