Troy, Juneau newspaper publisher and Chairman of the Territorial Central Democratic Committee left last night enroute to Chicago to attend the party’s national econ- vention. Incidentally, he holds a voting power on the National Committee, which will meet Friday, that few, if any Democrats will have at the Committee meetings. He holds proxies of National Committeeman J. J. Connors and National Com- mitteewoman Mrs. W. A. Holzhei- mer. He and W. B.

Powers, Democrat- ic stalwart of Eagle, Alaska, will join Troy and Kirk in Chicago just before the convention. Prior to his departure for Chi- cago, Mr. Troy said he would urge a plank for a referendum on the repeal of the Eighteenth Amend- ment and also a declaration for the immediate repeal of the Vol- stead Act. He pointed out that the Republican platform declein- tion for extension to Alaska of self- government was the first ever | made by that party, and like the lumber and tariff vote, it was part of a trading deal to keep the forces in line for Hooyer and on the fence regarding the Prohibi- tion issue. As Alaska self-government has always been a basic Democratic principle, he said he was confi- dent such a plank would be in- cluded in the party platform this year as in former national plat- form declarations. e 2 DESTROYERS BRING STUDENTS|gy, ON NORTH CRUISE | California a;d_—Washinglon Collegians Will Stay Two Days On a cruise of instruction and itraining for almost 100 students in the Reserve Officers Training Corps of the Universities of Cali- fornia and Washington, the Unit- ed States Navy destroyers Crown- inshield and Trever arrived in Ju- neau this afternoon for a stay of two days.

Schmeling, in broken English, sad:: “If someone beats me, I don't care. I say better man, he wins and that is all right, but how can Sharkey beat me running away all time?” Schmeling’s manager, in a tow- ering rage charged a “plot to steal the championship from them.” Jacobs said: ago shat Gunboat Smith was going to referee. I knew all along they were going to steal the title if hel did, but the New York Boxing Commission kept assuring me we'd get an even break. Well, look what happened. The only mistake 1 made was not publishing the| name of the referee two weeks ago‘ when I knew what was coming off.” A poll of the newspaper v&-ribe»rs; showed a big majority were con-| vinced that Schmeling should have received the decision. | Referee Smith and one Judge judge voted for Schmeling. ternoon.

The President proposed abolition of all tanks and chemical warfare, also large mobile guns and re- duction of one-third of the strength of all land armies above the so- called police component. Change Treaties He also proposes abolition of all bombing planes, total prohibition of all bombardments from the air, re- duction in tonnage of all battle- ships by one-third, reduction in treaty tonnage of aircraft carriers, cruisers and destroyers by one- fourth and submarines by one- third. Given Approval The proposals have already been approved by Secretaries Stimson, Hurley, Adams and Chief of Staff of the Army and Chief of Naval Operations and by the entire Am- erican delegation at Geneva where the proposal was placed before that conference today. Powers Must Act The United States will act upon this proposal only if other major powers do so, the President said.
