The President has called for..a| hearing on the order of cutti hours in the cotton garment indus-| try without reducing wages.

Bernard R. Hubbard, is no stranger to out- door photography or the dangers encountered while obtaining pic- tures of the wild and uninhabited portions of the globe. Since 1931 he has been associat- ed with Frank Buck, who has features showing the adventures experienced when collecting wild animals from their jungle homes for the 2zoos and circuses of the world. Mr. Cavaliere 'was photographer for both “Bring 'Em Back Alive,” and “wild Cargo” and had many inter- esting experiences with Mr, Buck's expeditions into the jungles of Asia. Bears Worse Than Tigers “On the tip of the Alaska penin- sula we crossed trails with brown Jungle, tigers, panthers, elephants and all, look tamie,” he declared in speaking of his recent trip with the “Glacler Priest’s” party. “The brownies are more vicious and dan- gerous, will attack more readily Alaska Are More Viciousthan Animals of Jungle, Says N. Cavaliere Missed Native Coolies “I did miss the coolies and pack- ers, which every jungle company has by the hundred. In Alaska you ‘pack your own equipment as well as your bedding and food. This is possible because of the cool, healthy climate. White men couldn’t do it in the tropical jungles. This sum- mer we each carried packs averag- ing 100 pounds, and at that, had so much equipment, cameras, films ard so on, that we frequently ran short of food and lived for days on an unvaried diet of caribou, or whatever else we could find. “This summer we carried two complete professional camera out- fits, in addition to our regular packs, into such places as the ‘Val- ley of Ten Thousand Smokes.' It is probably the first time it has ever been done into many of the spots we siruck. The trip to the ‘Valley' took dabout four days of hiking, at eight hours a day each way and the entire trip in and out was made in about three weeks, which is, I think, a record. It has been an interesting summer and we have some wonderful pictures.

The group consists of twelve men chosen by the Directors of the Reserve Banks to act in an advisory capacity. The Council is generally assumed to re- flect the opinions of the banks. The statement that caused all the stir was issued in Chicago ony Thursday. The demand to return to the Gold Standard was accom- panied by the reasoning that it is “necessary for real recovery.” 3 KNOWN DEAD, TRAIN GRASH WARRINGTON, England, Sept. 29.—The bodies of four women and five men have been removed from the tangled wreckage of two trains which collided nearby at a junction.

The woman, who inherited $1,500,000 in gilt edge securities on the death of her husband, said: “I would help him again. I believe in giving assistance where I can.” POST, CROSSON NOW ENJOYING HUNTING TRIP FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Sept. 29.— Wiley Post, world known aviator, arrived in Fairbanks accompanied by Joe Crosson, PAA flier, over the Richardson Highway in Cros- son’s auto.

DIMOND HERE; IS REFRESHED BY HIS TRIP, Tells of New—D_eal Working Beneficially in Alaska —Gold Claims Aided ‘Decidedly refreshed, obviously encouraged from his 3 day trip and visit through many| Alaska, Delegate Anthony J. Dis Aleutian today, and expressed ” preciation for the vete of confi. dence in the New Deal the p of Alaska registered in the recent| elections. Gold Policy Very Beneficial “Northern, northwestern and cen- tral Alaska are benefiting greatly from the Democratic administra- tion’s gold policy,” Delegate Dimond said. “Many new developments, backed by new capital are now un- der way and prospecting has been decidedly vitalized through the mining areas. These operations help all down the line in curtailing gen- eral unemployment. The Willow Creek, Nome, Fairbanks and Flat mining areas all evince the stim- ulation of this development capi- tal. The work is continuing and the prospects for the future in mining is bright.” In the various places visited, M. Dimond inspected the work done through the = various New agencies; PWA; CCC, FERA and| others. Money Efficiently Spent “Excellent results have been ob- tained from the money expended,” the Delegate continued. “The air- ports at Cordova, Nome and Val- dez are outstanding and for the money spent are as good as could be built anywhere. The road and trail projects have been efficiently laid out and constructed, filling needs in the various localities and making future development and progress possible. Considering the obstacles of winter working condi~ tions the results were surprising. I am convinced that the administra- tion of this work and the manner in which the money was expended has been most efficient.” Against Fich Traps The Delegate again forcefully re- iterated his stand on fish traps. “I stand firmly for the abolition of fish traps” he said. “A very great good will be accomplished by the total abolition of fish traps at the earliest possible date. Further, I am more than ever convinced that local control of the fisheries™by the Territory is necessary, but I shall press the fight for the abolition of the trap.” Support Administration Asked as to what the attitude of the hundreds of Alaskans with whom - he visited was toward the Democratic Administration and the New Deal, he replied that general- ly that it was strongly favored; and that the recent vote showed this. Though naturally some thought not all of the phases were work- ing along the right lines, the peo- ple had confidence in the Admin- istration and believed that it was working things out. Housing Act to Aid “I have been assured that the National Housing Act will apply to the Territory of Alaska with the full benefits accorded to the States.” Again discussing the Public Works and relief work Mr. Dimond said that through the accomplish- ment of last winter and this spring the people of .many disiricts in Alaska were being served as never before with the new and improved roads, airfields and other projects. The Delegate discussed matters with Gov. John W. Troy this aft- ernoon. According to present plans he will leave for Seattle, enroute to ‘Washington, D. C, on the Alaska ‘Tuesday.

Farley st night contended that two Re- blican publishers in Chicago, Col. bert McCormick, of the Chicago ibune, and Col. Fra-k Knox, of e Chicago Daily News, were at- acking the New Deal in personal mpaigns for the G. O. P. Presi- ential nomination in 1936. } Speaking at a Democratic meet- ing in the Coliseum, Farley con- tended the two publishers are now calling for liberty but that during [the time their party was in power the “average man had so little lib- erty they had to violate the law to get a glass of good beer.” The Postmaster General said that being interested in Presi- ldential campaigns he - welcomed Knox and McCormick and added that the conception of liberty had by the Tribune, News and Her- bert Hoover was “limited to a few people.” “Col. McCormick has been talk- ing a lot about freedom of the press. The Tribune, however, does not seem to be suffering from loss of freedom. It is so free that every ‘day it is filled with bitter crifi- oisut, abuse and misrepresentation of the best government in the OF NOME FIRE TELLS STORY H. L. Stull, Aboard Aleu- tian, Gives Vivid Pic- ture of Destruction The first eye-witness to the Nome fire to arrive in Juneau, H. L. Stull, mining man of Deering, Al- aska, is a passenger aboard the Aleutian enroute to the States to spend the winter. Mr. Stull has prepared his own impressions of Nome on “The Morning After” and graciously loaned them to enquiring reporters who have interviewed him since he left Nome on his trip outside. Following is Mr. Stull’s story: The Morning After As I stand in the lobby of the Lincoln, only hotel left in town, and look up Front Street, this is what I see: First, where the Commissioner’s office was, looms up the double vault with its two doors facing me. With everything else flat, these vaults look like skycrapers in a city. Off to the right stands a two-and- a-half story building that houses the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Up First Avenue in the distance one can see two buildings only, Polet’s warehouse on Snake River Harbor and the old Pioneer office building on this side of it. Hardly to be seen from here is a row of cabins, the first being Tom Jensen’s. ACross the street and a block farther down this way the cabins are still stand- ing. Cleaned Out Walking *up past the railroad crossing so as to see past the Ames Mercantile Company build- ing, you will see the fire cleaned out everything from there up town, and back to Fourth Street, but did not cross the track. Up Steadman the first building still standing is Rude’s. * Here Mrs. Davis is serving meals this morning. The old log cabin is gone, but across the street the telephone office was saved. The Court House vault shows the ce- nent. fallen away from beneath the door and smoke coming from the inside indicates that the contents are no doubt destroyed. The vault of the present bank seems to be okay, but will not be opened for several days to be sure that it has cooled off enough to be safe.
