Donald Richberg emerges on top of the heap. That seems to be the significance of the elaborate reorganization of NRA promulgated last night by President Roosevelt. It puts another official stamp upon Richberg’s function as chief adviser and assistant to the President, which has been increas- ingly apparent since last spring. In addition to serving as director of the Indus- trial Emergency Committee, executive secretary of the Executive Council and executive director of the National Emergency Council, Richberg is to have “such further functions and duties as shall be prescribed by the President,” according to one of last night's executive orders. That appears to make' him, in effect, director-in-chief of the New Deal For these sundry executive and emergency councils and committees, or super-Cabinets, will handle not only NRA but the whole range of New Deal eering” for September, and intelligently analyzes the project. Major Elliott points out that none of the isolated road systems in the northern territories have any highway connection with the great body of the continent to the south. Therefore Alaska and the Yukon, though physically a part of the continent, are from the viewpoint of transportation an island accessible only by boat or airplane. From the data now available, Major Zlliott estimates that the most suitable route is about 2204 miles lang, measured from Vancouver. The com- pleted part aggregates about 1,021 miles, leaving 1,183 miles to be built. The division in mileage between provinces is: " Location Compieted Needed Total British Columbia 880 520 1,400 Yukon Territory 50 480 530 Alaska 91 183 274 Total 1,021 1,183 2,204 The estimated costs are for the section.in British Columbia, $7,310,000; Yukon Territory, $4,680,000, a total of $11,990,000 in Canada, and $1,970,000 in Alaska, making a grand total of $13,960,000. The article gives a detailed description of the ploneer type of road building, with which Major Elliott's service in the Alaska Road Commission has made him familiar. He points out how the develop- ment, and settlement along a new road contributes to the improving of the road and the maintenance of it. In general the topographic and climatic condi- tions to be encountered on the road to Alaska are not greatly different from those in the northern part of the United States, and interior of Canada, he advises, and that as far as the data available now is concerned the highest elevation will be about 4,500 feet. The building of the Richardson Highway, 371 miles long, is described in the article, as an example typical of roads built to meet the needs of a pioneer - popmlation. Major Elliott in addition to describing the project itself, explains the many benefits the road would result in, not only in the opening up of vast re- sources contiguous to it but also the general tsimulus it would give to motor and other industries, and the furthering of friendly relations between the citizens of the United States and Canada, resulting in increased trade between ,ele two. countries and & greater solidarity of their peoples. Major Malcolm Elliott hag many times before demonstrated his interest in, and fondness for Alaska. This latest evidence of his sustained interest is a distinct eontribuation to the International Highway campaign, and will undoubtedly be read and used by many who are endeavoring to work out a plan through which the United States and Canada will cooperately bring the highway from Alaska to the United States into being. activity, including agricultural recovery, relief and public works. Of course, these councils are not new, but the fact that the President re-emphasizes their co- ordinating and policy functions at the time he is reorganizing the NRA and pulling the entire New Deal operation closer together is important. Under Director Richberg and the Industrial Emer- gency Committee—consisting of Secretaries Ickes and Perkins, the NRA chairman, AAA Administrator and Federal Relief Administrator—will be the new NRA Administrative Board. The latter will replace General Johnson. It is to be composed of two con- servative business men, Clay Williams and A. D. Whiteside; two public representatives, Professors Leon C. Marshall, of Johns Hopkins, and Walton Hamilton, of Yale; and Sidney Hillman, able labor representative. All of these men served under Johnson NRA The effectiver of the President’s new organi- zation can be judged only by its record in action. But such names as compose it encourage hope. Where Relief Begins. (New York Times.) lief must begin where charity begins, with the individual and the home. This was the special | emphasis put by the President in his appeal for support of the new mobilization for human relief. It is the basic obligation in such a social order a: ours. Deeper than that, it is the compelling "priv»" ilege” of human beings dwelling in communities, great or small. It might almost be said that the| spirit of humankindness tends to diminish directly | as the square of the distance from the" individual or the family in need. This is the strongest reason for urging the localities to do their utmost before asking for State or Federal aid. And even when it becomes necessary to accept the latter, its dispensing should, especially in smaller communities, be left to the hands of the local voluntary agencies ac- quainted with the real state of need. | It was the custom of a certain people to refer| to a series of years, in which there was intense suffering and want because of failing harvests, as “the dear years"—years when life was purchased dearly for the multitude, and when many died of starvation because life was too dear for their pos- sessing. The years of our depression have been our “dear years” in their great cost in terms of human | mental agony, if not of actual starvation or dire want, but as was said by Mr. Newton D. Baker the chairman of this second mobilization as well as’ that of 1933: With our great griets iehind us, we as a people will be strengthened to enjoy im- proved and better times by a recollection of the courage with which we sustained one another as we passed through the shadows in the valley. We dare to hope that these “dear years” with' their great griefs are behind us, even though the relief rolls are growing “at the very time that people ! A. H.

Kizer apparently has few worries, despite loss of several stars. Two brilliant ends, Capt. Domi- nic Vairo and Wayne Millner, and George Melinkovich, all-America {fullback in 1932, comprise the back- bone of Layden's new team at Notre Dame. Melinkovich is back after a year's illness, The material at Indiana univer- sity is only fair and it will take real inspiration from McMillan to Succeed. He has taken considerable time getting acquainted with his new charges and introducing his own notions as to how the game should be played. As usual, he will use what is er- roneously, but popularly known as the five-man backfield on the of- fensive. Captain Sprauer 2t center, Ver- cuski at tackle, Antonini at end, and Veller in the backfield are the known quantities of the squad. Walker and Huffman, who had some experience last fall, have improved and probably will be used in the backfield. At Purdue, Coach Kizer is out to continue his fine record .which shows 28 games won, four lost and two tied in the last four years. To begin with, he has long Jim Carter and Duane Purvis, experi- uni- _halfbacks.

Developers of the material claim that bodies made from it will be stronger that metal bodies, that it is almost as light as aluminum, that it can be kept in its original con- dition solely with water and occa- sional soap, and that it is free from squeaks. ‘The possibility of using that ma- terial in a “‘water white” form for windshields and windows also is being investigated. _ Planes Map Swamps BREZESE, Poland—Airplanes are to be used to map the swampy stretches of Polesia, a large prov- ince in eastern Poland adjoining Russia.
