. . B S m—— SENATE, HOUSE | RELIEF BILLS ARE TIED UP New Agitations Postpone Action — Red Cross Fund Is Growing ACCUSATIONS FREELY | MADE,BOTH BRANCHES | One Man Fifiuster Threat- ened Against Bosses —Qutlines Plan WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 26— While relief agitated anew in the Senate and House, the Red Cross reported contributions in excess of | $400,000 as the result of the nation- wide broadcast Thursday night. The total of the Red Cross drought re- lief fund, up to Saturday night, was $1,670,952. The Red Cross reported feeding 603,499 persons in 343 counties in 21 States. Senator Caraway criticised the House for delaying the proposed $25,000,000 appropriation for drought relief to be spent by the Red Cross, by placing in a committee. He said the situation has been covered and there is no need for further hearing. Chairman Crampton, of Michigan, of the House Appropria- tions Committee, replied by saying the hearings will be conducted as| expeditiously as possible. The Democratic leaders make ac- cusation that the delay is delib- erate. Representative Parks, Democrat of Arkansas, threatened a one man filibuster in the House as the de- bate began on the independent of- fice supply bill. He accused the Republicans of referring the bill to delay action and said: “I'm go- ing to use every parliamentary means in my power to delay every single other plece of legislation until the men who made themselves bosses of the House get the bill out even if it means a special session.” Representative Parks said the House would pass the bill in a| minute. MR. AND MRS. SWEUM TO LEAVE ON NORAH Ed Sweum, manager of the Ju- neau Piggly Wiggly store, will sail south tonight on the steamship Norah. He is going to Portland to attend the obsequies of his sister, Miss Ivy Sweum, who died there a few days ago. He will be accom- panied by Mrs. Sweum. In the absence of Mr. Sweum, Bert McDowell will be in charge of the Juneau store. ————————— KETCHIKAN MAN TO WED EVERETT, Washington, Jan. 2G.| —A marriage license was issued Saturday to Benedikt Rasmussen, of Ketchikan, Alaska, and Jennie Kjelstad of Fast Stanwood.

Council, physician and surgeon, showed the way to Toivo Lahikainen, 10-year-old grade school boy, around the links of the Midget Golf Course yesterday aft- ernoon. In match play, on the 18 holes, the doctor won by a score of 52 to 52. The result evens the con- tests between the two, the youth having been the victor in game a, week ago. ! Both players have frequenily stroked the course under 52 and 53, but on such occasions conditions were more favorable. Yesterday's scores were exceptionally good con- ering the big gallery that crowd- around the competitors and frequently obscured the approaches to the holes.

After thé arguments were completed, he then left for San Francisco but reached- there too late for any conferences prior to the holidays. The Jones suit was dismissed last week by a de- cision of the District 6f Columbia tribunal, thus clearing away any obstacle to the Zellerbach project. Shortly after the first of the present month, Mr. Heintzleman opened conferences with Mr. Cam- eron and representatives of the| satisfactory. Every angleé of the development program of each was discussed. Timber sale agreements and the power licenses were care- | fully considered. Both were ap- proved by the two groups. [ Depression Delays Initiation | “Beyond this point, owing to current depression which has hit the newsprint industry hard in the past six months, it was not felt possible to go at this time,” Mr. Heintzleman sald. “While banks have more money on deposit than ever before in their history, they are not making any financial com- mitments for new industrial proj- ects of any nature. Financiers are timid, as is usyal when the, nation is in the trough of depression. | “Both the Cameron and Zeller- bach groups are interested in many enterprises which have been af- fected similarly to every other busi- ness and industry. This, with the low prices prevailing in the news- | print market throughout the world, | has tled their hands so far as brapching out into new flelds is. concerned. | Recent Newsprint Slump “The newsprint industry was one of the last of the big ones to be pinched by depression, and that occurred within the last. six months. It is generally thought it will be one of the first to showia ' re- covery. ria “Mills are not operating only part time, due to sharp decrease; in paper consumption. Prices are down to an extremely low level. There is every reason to believe, however, that the bottom has been | reached. How long it willitgke for | the industry to begin its upward climb is uncertain, but preeedents of past years indicate it will not | be of extended duration. 7] “Until the upward trend is def- initely established, neither of the California groups will be able to go ahead with their construction programs. Their preliminary sur- veys as well as necessary- negotia- tions have been corpleted. » There is nothing to be done except to mark time and wait for conditions which will make it possible for finances to Ye obtained for the work here.” Cameron Not Discouraged Mr. Cameron is not at all dis- couraged over the situation, Mr. Heintzleman sald. ‘He is disap- pointed at the necessary delay, but is as determined as ever to carry the Juneau project through to com- pletion., Harry Chandler, publisher of the Los Angeles Times, who is interested with him in the en- | noon Wear the Princess Norah. e MULLENS RETURN Mr. and Mrs. J.
