THF DAILY ALASKA E.MPIRE TUEbDAY DEC. 27, 1932. Control of Air Transportation Aim oj t;au..;zg lVorf’y Giants Wall Street, Scene of Many a Railroad Scrisimage, Sees Stern Fight for Air Monopoly as Cord and Cohu Go to the Mat. La MorTe T. Corry No candidate for elcchou to the Fuesidency of the United States ever sought votes so eagerly as the adversaries in the Wall Street battle for control of the Aviation Corporation of Delaware are seeking proxies from stockholders in the company, for when the proxies counted up it is the man with over 50 per cent who will bave his hand raised by the ceferee. The principals in the battle of the money magnates are Errett L. Cord, 37.year-old financier, automobile manufacturer and aviation enthusiast, and La Motte T. Cohu, millionaire broker, ex-Princeton ath- letic star and intercollegiate wrestling champion. In the old days it was for control of railroads that the great proxy battles were fought ir Wall Street, but in this advanced age the aim of the battlers is cons trol of the skies. Cord, who pulled himself up from being an automobile washer and polisher to power in the automobile industry, holds 30 per cent of the stock, about $5.000,000 worth, in the Aviation Corporation. He says he interested himself in the affair at the request of William A. Harriman, of the famous railroad Harrimans. it was Cord’s idea to get control of the company and to put air travel within reach of anyone who could afford to travel by train. But Cohu, president of a holding com- pany, one of the biggest investments of which is in the Delaware Corpo- ration, is opposed to Cord’s program and secks to merge the Delaware with another aviation company. Sb the war is on, and the money mag- nates of the Street are taking sides, the powerful brokerage organiza- tion of E. F. Hutton aligning itself behind Cord, while the famous bank- ing house of the Lehmans is backing Cohu. The mighty railroad Harri- mans have so far remained neutral. “EFxtension-Made” Farmer Is Champion Hog Breeder : J. R. Heaux of Crowley, La., shown here with his 1,100 pound grand champion Pcland-China bear, winner of 19 first places at the Louisiana State Fair, started hog-breeding five years ago as a side- ine to rice farming. a large share of his success. CROWLEY, La., Dec. 27—A 1 farmer who took to hog raising as & sideline about five years ago is the champicn swine breeder of | iana—an Honor he won the 1 time he exhibited his stock |’ at the State Fair.

Sisson has been | appointed General Counsel for »he‘ {Federal Home Loan Bank Board, with offices in the Commer: | Department building. For nearly | {four years past Mr. Sisson has been ;™' |in charge of Administrative affairs \o! the Departrient of Justice and {in that capacity has made several trips to Alaska, where he has met in only the ‘officials of his de- tment but the people generally, {who have a high regard for ability, his friendliness and ¥ deep inte: in the development of the Territory and the welfare of its people. The Indian Bureau of the In- ‘ terior Department is now having | a session with the sub-committee of the House Appropfiations Com- mittee in the effort to impress| {upon the members the necessity | for the sums granted by the Bud- {get. Alaska interests, in both ed- | ucational and medical branch are being represented by Dr. W.! Carson Ryan, Jr., director of ed- ucation, Paul W. Gordon, director for education in Alaska, David E. | Thomas, Alaska division of the Indian Bureau, Dr. F. 8. Fellows, medical direetor for Alaska, and others. The Biological Survey, in the Agricultual Department, has had a hearing before a sub-com- mittee on the budget that seeks to somewhat reduce the appropria- tion of the currepnt year, and any | {further cut would likely hamper the work in Alaska. The Post ‘Office Department giv- es the information that the post- master at one of the small offices in the second division of Alaska has been found guilty of selling intoxicating liquor, and suggests that the office might be abolished and the few patrons served by car- riers on the star route now in op- |€ration in that vicinity. It looks as though Alaska was not to receive any benefit from the |tariff of ten cents per hundred pounds on coal imposed by the revenue act of 1932. Nearly all the coal shipped into Alaska is from the Canadian mines in the vicinity of Victgria. It has been explained by Commisioner of Cus- toms Eble that a provision of the |act states that the tax on coal shall not be imposed if during the \precedmx calender year the ex- port of coal from the United States to the country from which such article is imported has been greater Iin quantity than the imports into | the United States from such coun- {try. Thus under the act the duty {will not have to bo-paid on ship- ments from Canada, and therefore, shipments from Germany and Great Britain must be exempt. un- der terms of most-favored-nation treaties existing between the Uni- ted States and these countries. | On Nov. 26, funeral services were held in Washington at St. Paul's Catholic church, for Mrs. Ellen L.
