THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1933. CONNORS IS TO CONTINUE HEAD PARTY MACHINE Will Retain Office of Na- tional Committeeman, Alaska, He Says J. J. Con tered - office as Col toms for Alaska, will ction as Democ ommitteeman for who yesterday en- or Cus- continue to ic National Alaska, it was today. While this had been y expected, no official announcement had been forthcom- | ing on the subject up to today. | “I was elected by the Democrats| of Alaska to that office, and un- less some other reason not known now arises, I shall continue to be National Committeeman,” Mr. Con- nors said. There is plenty of precedent for his decision which is generally re- garded with satisfaction by other Jocal party leaders. Postmaster General James A. Farley is still the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee and will re- main such. Mr. Connors's predeces- sor in office, J. C. McBride, was Republican National Committeeman when he took office as Collector,| and held the office for five years| thereafter.

Taylor, Chief Engineer of |the Alaska Road Commission, who recently returned from a three- wezks’ trip there. Shortage of water has greatly curtailed placer mining operations and thrown |many men out of normal employ- |ment. There are also fewer men employed on road construction and maintenance due to the sharp de- crease over the past two years ol funds for that purpose. “Every effort ought to be made to obtain for Alaska funds from the public works relief monies ap- propriated by Congress,” Mr. Tay- lor said. Such efforts are already being gle person visited the building made, the Chamber was informed by the Executive Committee which were 100,000 persons on the ground reported that Governor Troy, the | Territorial Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber itself, and local news- | papers have wired President Roose | velt, urgently appealing for an al- | location of funds for Alaska proj- Eects. | The Transportation | submitted a report on the pro- | posed local airport, located on Men- denhall Bar, seven miles from |town. It calls for an expenditure of $235,000. As planned it would require a rock retaining wall, a fill on tide lands, excavations, and would provide a landing placa for both sea and land planes| Two hundred men would be directly em- ployed in construction. This proj- ect is embraced on the list prepar- ed by the Governor for submission | to Federal Public Works Adminis- | trator. The report was declared by Pres- ident John W. Jones to be the most comprehensive ever made by any Chamber Committee. Chairman Goddard, of the Com- n CONNORS Motor Co., INC.

Most of the pack to date is ged salmon, pro- duced by the Bristol Bay packers. Up to July 1, in that district 468,518 cases had been packed.
