THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. XL., NO. 6087. JUNEAU, ALASKA, THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1932. _MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS NATIONAL GUARDSMEN ORDERED OUT IN INDIANA DEMOCRAT S PLAN UNIQUE CAMPAIGN VOTE GETTING ARMY WILL BE ORGANIZED NOW State Organizations Will Be Given Unlimited POWC rs NATIONAL COMMITTEE WILL KEEP HANDS OFF| James A. Farley and Louis| Howe Will Be Real Commanders WASHINGTON, July 21.— The Democrats will launch a unique campaign to get votes for Gov. Franklin D. Roose- velt and John N. Garner, nominees for President and Vice-President, respectively. There will be a minimum crganization and responsibil- ity will be highly concentrat- ed with economy as the watch | word. The actual work of seeking support for the two candi- dates will be left with S(ate| organizations with a national! headquarters in New York seeking to coordinate but not to direct activities of the re-j gional headquarters in each! State. James A. Farley, as Na- tional Democratic Chairman, and Louis Howe, the Gover- nor’s confidential aide, will be the commanders of the Demo- cratic vote getting army. The National Committee, as such, will have little to do. A campaign special com- mittee, operating under the budget system, will take care| of the finances. An attempt will be made to keep the cost of the campaign down to $1,- 000,000. A year ago it was estimated $6,000,000 would be necessary. !

Practically all of the packers in the district will have their cans filled when the season ends on July 26. Fine packs have been made in other southwestern regions. The North side of the Alaska Peninsula had more than 65000 cases of ied fish.

He arrived by airplane in Juneau yesterday afternoon from Nakeen and took flight this morn- ing to survey cannery operations of his company and fish condi- tions generally in Southeast Alas- ka. All canneries except those of the Alaska Packers in the Bristol Bay district have run out of cans,| and, of course, cannot replenish supplies before the close of the season next Tuesday midnight. Exceptionally Heavy Run The run of reds in the Bristol) Bay is one of the greatest, if mot the greatest, in th& history of the fishing industry in that area. Fish deliveries were so large and fre- quent that at times the capacities of canneries were overtaxed and they had to put restrictions on fishermen. The Bristol Bay fish pack at the end of last week was well in ex- cess of 1,200,000 cases, Mr. Friele said.

Through strong con- trary winds, the plane flew from Seward to Yakutat Tuesday and spent Tuesday night there. I n coming to Juneau yesterday the aircraft stopped at Cenotaph Is- land in Lituya Bay to deliver mail and some supplies to the Wash- burn party of mountain climbers who plan to scale Mount Fair- weather. The Chichagof, with Mr. Friele and Mr. Suddock as passengers, took off from Juneau early this morning. According to the craft’s schedule she was destined to go to Funter Bay, where her two passengers would confer with John Gilbert, Production Manager of the Alaska Pacific Salmon Corporation.

Tomorrow, she will take Mr. Friele and Mr. Suddock from Ketchikan to Hidden Inlet, and then return them to Ketchikan or carry them to Prince Rupert, B.

Parks and Shattuck Express Regret at Pass- ing of Road Board Regret at the passing of the Board of Road Commissioners for Alaska was expressed today for the Territory and for Juneau at today's meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. Gov. George A. Parks voiced the former and Pres- ident Allen Shattuck of the Cham- ber, spoke for that organization and this community. Both of them expressed apprec- iation for “the fine service of the Alaska Road Commission for more than 27 years past,” and recog- nized the value of its activities to all of the Territory. Today’s meeting was in tribute to the Com- mission and a farewell to Army officers of the Board who shortly leave for various stations in the | States. Praises Heads of Board “We have been particularly for- tunate at all times in having men at the head of the Board who were able not only to direct ef- fectively the activities of the Com- mission in Alaska, but who had ability to present Alaska's case sympathetically in Washington be- {fore Congressional Committees and obtain needed appropriations for roads and trails in the Territory,” declared Mr. Shattuck. Citing the Chamber’s opposition to the bill that killed the old Com- mission, he said the new setup with the Governor and Ike P. Tay- lor at the head oY the civilian organization built up by the Com- mission was a fortunate arrange- ment and a better outcome than could have been expected. It means, he added, that the new organiza- tion will start work where the old one left off, without any waste time or motion. Members of the Commission leav- ing 'Alaska “will take with them the best wishes not only of the Chamber of Commerce, but the en- tire community,” he declared. Elliott Reviews Work Maj. Malcolm Elliott, the Ilast President of the Commission, who yesterday surrendered control to the Governor for the Interior De- partment, reviewed briefly some of the activities of the Commission under his leadership. He was in charge for almost five years. “My predecessors did for me what I have been trying to do for the Governor and his associates who take over the work—made it easy for me to handle and left me a sound and efficient organization with which to operate” he de- clared. Later he said he desired to “publicly thank his organiza- tion for the loyal support and co- operation that it had given the Board.” At the end of June, Maj. Elliott said the Commission’s road sys- tem, now in the hands of the In- terior Department, consisted of 1,776 miles of automobile and wa- gon road, 1,496 miles of sled road, 7322 miles of pack and other trails, and 712 miles of flagged, or temporary, trails. Gains in Four Years The gains in the system under Maj. Elliott’s regime were: 153 miles of wagon road, 121 miles of sled road and 278 miles of trails. Many places are now accessible that were reached four years ago only with difficulty. The Gulkana-Chisana project came into being and considerable progress «was made on this road which has already opened up new mining regions and will serve oth- ers when completed. Steese Highway was completed and brought up to standard, Ma- jor improvements were made to| Richardson Highway and its stand- ard raised. A new road was con-| structed from the Alaska Railroad | to the Willow Creek district, mak- ing possible year-round operation of a new mine. Other projects were launched, and the general| maintenance program carried out. ‘McKinley Park Highway was completed from the railroad to| beyond the Toklat River.

It will also furnish another measure of the growth of the ex- treme nationalistic doctrines preached by Adolf Hitler and Al- fred Hugenberg, proponent of “the good old days” when the Hohen- zollerns ruled. Seven of the parties — leftist and centrist — are international minded; ten to the right are na- tionalistic, at least for domestic consumption. The nationals, besides Hitler's National Socialists and Hugen- berg’s plain Nationals, include the People’s, Farmer's and Economic f parties and other minor bourgeois groups, all of whom are clamor- ing for a return of “the old Prus- sian spirit.” That phrase means “Down with democracy!” but whether a Hitler dicatorship or a Hohenzollern monarchy is the ultimate aim, is police, it 1is believed in some | quarters, which predict Hitler men would be content with “figure- head” posts if their hour dawns. ‘The Government has placed the| radio at the disposal of every party | except the Communist, for a 25- minute speech in the last week of | OLYMPIA, Wash, July 21.—Gov. the election campaign.

Sheriff Wesley Williams was notified of the order by Gov. Harry G. Leslie, who said he would accompany the troops. The National Guardsmen will assemble about 10 miles from the mine and then move toward it. The men in the mine made no attempt to come out. The attitude of the picket- eers, should the nonunion men attempt to come out, is problematical. The picketeers have been orderly so far. The nonunion men have been in the shaft more tham 20 hours, without food. The major interest of the State is to remove them as they are armed and it is feared they might become desperate if they remained in the pit much longer. —————— ADVOCATE USE OF WHIP, LASH, IN WASHINGTON State Jurists Make Recom- mendation at Annual Convention PARADISE VALLEY, Rainiar National Park, Wash., July 21— Outstanding jurists of the State stood today committed to a drastic criticism of the nation’s system of criminal justice with the recom= mendations of the use of the whip and lash.
