GOFF, West Virginia's Faverite KANSAS CTY, June 13—James Wickersham, delegate from Alas- ka, and member of the platform and resolutions committee, has in: troduced a recommendatign te 1 committee asking that future. p litical appointments to Alaska be made from bona fide Alaskans. The resolution will be considered today. The Alaskan delegation hope ithe resolution will be approved in order of Edgar J. Adams as Judge of the First Division. Mr, Wicker- sham said the appointment was not popular in Alaska where the sentiment demands appointment lof an Alaskan jurist. He said he hoped the convention would ap | prove the measure as a reiorm nr Federal administration in Terri:| torial affairs and in giving Alaska a greater measure of self-deter mination in Jocal affairs and mak ing important progress toward ullimate statehood. ONE WOMAN DELEGATE IS BEING HEARD Declares Her Sex Not Giv- en Consideration at Conventigns KANSAS CITY, June 13.— Women delegates should be given more responsibility in the opinion of one of Washington's two fe-| male members of the delegation from that State, declaring that while women of the nation cast nearly one-half of the votes, only about 70 of them are sitting as delegates. This is the statement made to the Associated Press by Mrs. Hugh Eldridge, of Bellingham, Wash., sitting as one of the dele- gates. Mrs. Eldridge said she did not “like the idea of sop being thrown to get our votes.” She said her sex had been given in- creasing consideration but cited the fact that few women were in- cluded on the working conven- tion committees as evidence they were not given an opportunity to bear their full share of the party’s responsibility. ““How will the women ever get any experience if they are never Strikers in Greece In Cluh with Troops ATHENS, J\me 13—'T2n persons Compény are on, a strike.
