Congress sent three appropria- measures, including the #1,- 000,000 Treasury and Post Of- ce bill, to the White House yes- terday leaving only two of the 11 supply bills still to be acted on.

ELLIOTT WIRES DISTRICT HEADS ABOUT TRANSFER Few Changes Are Expect- ed to Be Made in Civil- ian Force of AR.C. Stand-by orders were issued to- day by Maj. Malcolm Elliott, Pr ident of the Alaska Road Commi sion, giving notice to district su-| perintendents that transfer of the organization is impending. The bill authorizing the transfer from the War Department to the Interior Department was approved by Pres- ident Hoover on June 30. | Details’ of the transfer will not | be agreed upon until orders re- garding it, prepared by the Sec- retary of Interior, are received by Gov. Parks, which probably will be in a week or ten days. Under Parks’ Control In his wire to the field super- intendents, Maj. Malcolm said: “The Act of Congress transfer- ring the Alaska Road Commission to the Interior Department was approved by the President June 30 and orders prescribing detans[ thereof are expected shortly. “The Secretary of Interior has stated in his published correspond- ence with the proponent of this bill that the administration of Road Commission activities will be assigned to Gov. Parks and that the Interior Department expects to operate through so much of the present civilian organization as can be maintained within the approp- riations, relieving Army officers now assigned, also that no curtail- ment of program is expected, ex- cept as necessitated by reduced ap- propriations. “Further information as to de- tails of transfer not yet available, but, meanwhile, present members of the Commission desire to assure the entire organization, so far as known, the impending change is mot due to dissatisfaction with the manner in which thie work has been performed. In fact, the Sec- retary of Interior stated the trans- fer has not been urged as mat- ter of economy, but in the inter- ests of effective co-ordination of rélated activities now handled by two departments and that the en- deavor would be to combine the efficient operation now maintained by the existing organization.” Disturb Other Functions The Interior Department, so far as is now known, will take over only the trail and road construc- tion and maintenance activities of the Commission. Its several other functions remain to be disposed of. Maj. Elliott said he believed that control of the Sitka Military Cemetery would be given to the Commanding Officer at Chilkoot Barracks. It is now vested in the Commission. What is to become of its con- sulting engineering work for the Lighthouse Service for this district is a matter of conjecture. Maj. Elliott was uncertain upon this. No Instructions Received Other than a telegram from the War Department advising the Com- mission of the approval of the bill by President Hoover, it has re- ceived no word. No instructions have been received relative to the transfer, and no orders assigning the Army officers on the Commis- sion staff and field force to other stations. —l HOLD-UP IN SPOKANE P. 0.

Memorable Finale Party officials sought to make the visit of Nominee Roosevelt, coming to the convéntion by air- plane from Albany, N. Y., as a {i- nale to a memorable significance hoping his appeal for party har- mony might heal most of the wounds opened by the debate over men and ‘measures, but it is scarce- ly believed it will cure the most conspicuous scar left from the convention decisions, the refusal of Alfred E. Smith to promise to sup- port in the campaign or even com- ment on the victory of his old- time friend. Smith Holds Out Smith's possible future course re- mained a mystery this morning. He is the only one of the opposition candidates who did not withdraw and sound the call for harmony when it became apparent Roose- velt was the winner. John J.

Several other candidates were proposed last night, but with Texas and California for Garner, 'his nomination early this morning was all buf assured.
