Club 10 Help Round Up Demos For Cautuses

Admitting the inability of the Jefferson Jackson club to act direct ly for the democratic party, mem bers. nevertheless, at last nights meeting at the Moose Hall decided to work closely with precinct and divisional chairmen in seeing that caucuses are held in time to elect delegates for the coming divisional and territorial conventions.
 Although definite calls for cauc- uses could not be made by the club, it was decided that the club could see that precinct work was accom- plished.
 We can act as sort of hatpin in the pants of very sleepy demo- cratic party" Peter Wood, Juneau real estate agent said.
 Wood recommended action being taken to see that precinct chalr- men called caucuses in time for the divisional convention, which is ex- pected to be held in Sitka about Dec, 15. It was said that the Ter ritorial democratic convention would probably be held in Anchorage January IS. 19 and 20.
 About 30 At Meet
 Club President Walter Hermansen presided at the meeting attended by some 22 persons. Mike Haas, secretary, read letters from Vic Rivers, central committee chair man of Anchorage, explaining quail fications for delegates to party con- ventions.
 Haas objected to an editorial in the Empire.
 "They have no right to call me a left-winger," he said. Sometimes I am accused by labor of being too far to the right, and now l am accused of being too far to the left. Just where do I stand?
 well. in my own mind, l know where I stand. I stand convicted Of being a Democrat"
 Vern Metcalfe, Democratic re- presentative to the Territorial House agreed with Wood that the party needed a shaking up. Metcalfe' gave credit to Henry Roden, Territorial Treasurer, and others in the party for his winning in the last election, but said that there was no credit due to the Democratic Party itself which, he said, appeared to take lit- tie interest in young people.
 "Young people don't know which way to turn to become active II party politics even when they are interested" Metcalfe said.
 Wood said that the last To- cal caucuses did not represent tht democratic party. He made the as- sertion that caucuses were jam medr
 "There was such lack of organ ization, we may even have had peo- pie who were Republicans attending the conventions" Wood declared. Plans were made for Jefferson Jackson dinner to cost $5 plate to achieve some interest in the com ing conventions, and to bring money into the club treasury.
 Among those present at the meet ing last night were: Floyd Guertin Territorial commissioner Of Vet ern's Affairs. Crystal Snow Jenne Postmaster; Peter Wood, member of the Board of Assessment ant Equalization; Walter Hermansen Secretary of the Moose Lodge Henry Roden, Territorial Treasurer Cledamae Cammock, Secretary Al aska Territorial Federation of La

MRS. LUTHER C. HESS

Sadness brought to the hearts of all who
knew her by the death in Seattle Saturday OF Mrs.
Harriet Hess, of Fairbanks
No woman in Alaska has done more for the Terri
tory than Mrs. Hess, who north early in this
century. Her first home in Alaska was in Juneau
where she was assistant principal in charge of the
local high school for five years, them in 1907, she
moved to Fairbanks to become high school principal
1t was in Fairbanks that she met Luther c. Hess
prominent banker, lawyer and mining man of the
interior to whom she married in 1911.
Though her activities were many, her chief inter-
est over many years was the University of Alaska and
she had been a member of the University Board OF
Regents since its establishment in 1917 She was
named in 1916 to select the site for the proposed
college
In recognition of her work for the university, the
schools women's dormitory named Harriet Hess
Hall.
Mr. Hess served one term in the Territorial House
of Representatives and six in the Senate member
from the Fourth Division and Democrat. Like her
husband, Mrs Hess was active in the politics of her
party and was Democratic National Commiteewoman
for Alaska.
Her other interests included welfare work and
she was a member in the Fourth Division OF the
Board of Chldrens Guardians from 1913 until the
work was taken over by the Department of Welfare
in 1885 Her clubs included the Eastern Star, Pioneer
Women of Alaska the American Association of Uni
versity Women Soroptimsts, the P. E. o.
Few Alaskars have had the broad interests of
Harriet Hess Few Alaskans have accomplished so
much of worth for the Territory has Mrs. Hess.
To her husband The Empire like their other
friends throughout the north, extends very real
sympathy

dent of the machinists union, is

The B-36 feud is smoldering again.
This time. instead Of the navy
and air force pickering. it's the
army and air force. Army generals
believe the air force should spend
its money on tactical planes to

force wants to build more B-36's
for strategic bombing.

have reduced delivery time to fraction of that
quired in the early days. Various refnements have
been introduced to streamline the handling of the

Capital News Capsules

Less Inflation-The fight against
initiation is long way from being
won, but the picture is now brighter
than in the last three months. This
is partly due to a tapering off of
the consumer buying spree; also
the recent decision of the Federal
Reserve Board and the Treasury
Department to depress the price of
long-term government bonds. Big
banks and insurance companies are
now holding on to their govern
ment bonds rather than selling
them and showing a loss on their
books. This means less credit in
flation, though the bankers and in
surance tycoons are far from happy
about it.
Warning to India-Assistant Sec
rotary of State McGhee warned
Prime Minister Nehru of India on
his recent trip to check the loyalty
of certain top officers on the Indian
general staff. McGhee made spe-
cial trip to Delhi to warn Nehru
that Russia may try to overthrow
his government by stirring up a
phony revolution. He also gave
Nehru complete report on the
plot to subvert the Pakistan army,
said this should be grim lesson
to India. Nehru, however, resented,
rather than welcomed the advice
AS result Indian-American rela-
tons are worse than ever.

Return Key to France

In this connection I should like
to suggest that the cherished key
to the bastille now be returned to
Francois a symbol of everlasting
friendship between our two coun-
tries.
The average American who visits
Mount Vernon does not appreciate
the keys significance, and the role
it played in French history. But to
France it means the day of liberty
the founding of the French Repub-
lie. For, as the Liberty Bell tolled
out the call to revolt in Philadel-
phia on July 4, 1776, so the key
to the bastille freed the oppressed
of France on July IA, 1889.
That is why every July IA since
then is Bastille Day-the chief
French national holiday.
Imprisoned in the bastille at that
time were such French patriots as
Voltaire. Lally- Tollendal, Cardinal
De Rohan and the man in the
iron mask. They had been impris-
oned because they criticized the
government or offended members OF
the nobility.
That is why Bastille Day and
the key 10 the bastille mean sc
much to France, and why it would
be such significant gesture OF
friendship if we returned it at this
time.
1t could be enshrined in a monu-
ment not unlike the statue of Lib
erty as a symbol of freedom.

Soviet Scandals

The American public may feel
depressed over the scandals recent
ly exposed in Washington. How
ever, Russian scandal, with all
the earmarks of the Fulbright RFC
investigation, has recently been re-
ported by British intelligence.
The scandal took place in Bulgar-
la. about 81 miles from Sofia where
Russia operates uranium mine,
the Gotten mine.
The boss of the mine is Rus
sian engineer, Khrissimovich, whose
salary is equal to $1,000 a month.
He named his wife his assistant
at 5000 a month, and took over the
most luxurious mansion in Sofia
for their quarters.
Following his example, three
ether Russian engineers, Vetrenko,
Dubroysky and Stihma. pulled
Gown cushy jobs for their wives at
f-m $3.50 to 5000 monthly. In COM
