Rand, § i Puychase Homes Now Owned by Government WASHINGTON, June 5.—(Spe- cial Correspondence)—The Depart- ment of the Interior has indicated | willingness to approve a bill' desig- nated to allow Alaska Railrcad em ployees living in houses owned by | the government at Anchorage to purchase them. Accordingly Dele- gate Dimond will draw up a meas- ure having that purpo:zz in view. It is probable that it will be en- ‘acted sometime during the second session’ of the present Congress. Many railroad employees have pressed a desire' Lhat they be al-| lowzd to buy their homes instead | of renting them and Secretary of the Interior Ickes expressed to the; Delegate his wish to ccoperate in this. If H. R. 1735 becomes a law the present limitation on radio broad- cast facilities in Alaska would be removed, but it would still be ne- cessary for an applicant to satisfy the Faderal Radio Commission that public interest, convenience and ne- cessity would be served by assign- ment of additional facilities. Under the commission’s system of quotas Alaska now is entitled to .38 unit and actually has .68 unit and there- fore is approximately 79 per cent over-quota. A powerful organization In the movement to devaluate the dollar is the Committee for the Nation, a body composed of leading business men. To achieve this end, it would follow substantially the same meth- od recently approved by a resolu- tion passed by the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce. The Com- mittee for the Nation recommends that gold be repriced at $36.17 an ounce. By virtue of legislation passed by the present Congress the President is empowered to take such action, one immediate effect of which undoubtedly would be a vast acceleration in gold mining in Alaska and elsewhere. On the di- recting committee of the Com- mittee for the Nation ars J. H. Rand, Jr, head of Remington Inc., Frederic H. Frazier, chairman of the General Banking Company, Vincent Bendix, presi- dent of the Bendix Aviation Corp., Lessing J. Rosenwald, chairman of [¥ Sears, Roebuck and Co, and F. H. Sexauer, president of the Dairy- man’s League Cooperative Associa- tion Inc. One of the objects of inflation— higher commodity prices—can not but work injury to the gold min- ing industry. The limited extent to which inflation has now been carried has brought about higher prices and gold miners, with the price for their product stationary, are directly affected. The embargo on gold prevents a free market in the metal, which would have the effect of raising the price substan- tially now that the dollar is de- preciated.

How depreciation and the gold embargo have reacted to the dis- ladvantage of gold mining will' be realized by the fact that on May 15 it required 118-plus U. S. dol- lars to buy the legal gold content iOI $100. The President now has it in his power to reduce the dollar's gold content up to 50 per cent, which would automatically increase the gold price and serve as a spur to the industry concerned with min- |ing the mefal. The Wagner bill. to set up a system of federal employment ex- changes was passed by both Hou: |es of Congress this week. It origi- nally provided that the benefits of the Act should go to the 48 stat and Hawali. The Delegate obtain- ed an amendment which was ac- lcepted by the’ Senate. Mr. and Mrs. James Ciimie of Anchorage and their son, now | |Lisut. James F. Climie' of the | United States Marine Corps, are in ‘Washington for a few days. Lieut. Climie was given his commission at Annapolis last Thursday by President Roosevelt. A one time Alaskan now residing in Washington is Mrs. William | Lowe, formerly Miss Flora Salla- day. She is a sister of Miss Gladys Salladay of Fairbanks and a nnm- ber of years ago taught in the Fairbanks school. Mrs. Lowe occu- pies a responsible position in the Treasury Department. A caller at the Delegate’s office during the past week was the Rev. Frederick B. Drane. Mr. Drane will be remembered as Archdeacon of the Yukon. He now' lives in Monroe, North Carolina. The Post Office Department Sat- urday named Richard Brennan as acting postmaster at Petersburg. | A change in posumasterships of fourth class offices is not necessar- ily indicated by a change in ad- ministration. A postmaster of the fourth class office is subject to re- moval only for cause, according to a ruling by the department. If the duties of the office are performed |satisfactorily the fourth class post- imasters retain their appointments, no matter whether the administra- tion be Democratic or Republican.

The monopoly, proposed by the socialist party, would place all im- portation. and refining of oil and distribution of gasoline in the hands of the government. American Share Shrinks Until 1931 a half-dozen American companies: furnished France with more than half of all the petroleum products she imported. This busi- ness amounted to about $62,680,000 in 1930—a large slice of the total American trade with France. Since then France has been buy- ing greater quantities from Russia and Rumania and America’s share diminished from 53 per cent in 1930 to 36 per cent in 1932. Oil is not produced in France and since Phe war successive gov- ernments have sought to free the country from complete dependence on foreign sources. Oppenents Decry Monopoly Foreign companies do business under licenses granted in 1928 for: 20 year periods. On the basis of these long-term permits, costly es- tablishments have been built. This fact was evoked in chamber debate by adversaries of the mon- opoly who claimed that indemni- ties to America and other com- | panies, in case the licenses were revoked, would be costly to the state. They also said that 200,000 men would be put on the state pay roll by such a monopoly. The committee indicated it would study the question at considerable length before bringing in a report. ————-—-—-——— DELINQUENT TAXPAYERS ATTENTION Payment on delinquent taxes must be made by 5 pm. on June 15 to escape penalty of 10%, plus accrued interest.
