THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. XLVI., NO. 7020. JUNEAU ALASKA, TUESDA\ JULY 23, !935 ¢ NEW ORLEANS, NAVY CRUISER, TRAVELS SOME New Ship, Which Arrived Last Night Logs 54,000 Miles That capable-looking Navy cruis- er lying in Juneau's “front yard” today is quite some traveiler. Fig- uratively a “baby” when it comes to years of commissioned service, the U. 8. S. New Orleans has log- ged more than 54,000 miles since her launching in 1933. Last year, she helped guard Pres- ident Roosevelt when the Chief Ex- ecutive visited Honolulu, T. H. The President was on the U. 8. S. Houston, but the New Orleans serv- ed as a convoy. One other trip to the Hawailan Islands, and a spe- clal visit to Sweden and Denmark last year added to her mileage to- tal. The New Orleans, dianapolis which visited here over the week-end, is a heavy cruiser. In length, she is not quite as long as her predeces:or here, being a mere 588 feet! However, she is cf slight- ly larger displacement, having heav- ier armament than the Indianapo- lis. Brings 700 Men Bhe was launched from the Navy Yards in New York on- April 1933, but has spent some time in Nayy Yards since then, so has not had two full years with which to amass those 54,000 miles of travel. 8he carries nine 8-inch, and eight 5-inch guns, as well as four sea- planes, all of which were aloft to- day. Aboard here are approximately 600 enlisted Navy men, 42 Marines, and 47 commissioned officers, head. ed by Capt. A. B, Reed, command- ing officer, and Comdr. M. L. Her- 86y, Jr., executive officer, The New Orleans, scheduled to arrive today, dropped her hook here at 8 o'clock last night. She made an early start from Sitka yesterday morning, so put in an earlier ap- pearance than was expected. She is: scheduled to leave for Yakutat Bay and Seward on Thursday. The southbound run from Seward is slated to begin on August 2. Committee Meets ‘While no official program of wel- come has been announced yet, the Chamber of Commerce Navy com- mittee plans to meet tomorrow noon at' Gastineau Cafe to discuss plans. Meanwhile an .exchange of offi- clal calls was made, and Gov. John W. Troy and Mayor Isadore Gold- stein were given gun salutes when they called aboard the ship. Later in the afternoon the cocky whaleboat crew o6f Juneau's own Coast Guard cutter ‘Tallapoosa row- ed across the New Orleans' tow with oars tossed, indicating a chal- lenge to a race. The challenge was accepted by ‘Lieut. Comdr. (Medi- cal Corps) L. Q. Stone, the New Orleans’ athletic officer. The race wiil be held at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning with the finish off the Government Dock. Barry Still Here The only other Navy ship in port tdday is the U .8, 8. Barry, a de- stroyer, berthed at ' Government Dock. She is scheduled to leave to- morrow for her Auk Bay base. The Tallapoosa, incidentally has moved back to her Government Dock berth from the Lumber Mills Dock, but may shift again when four destroyers, which are sched- uled to arrive tomorrow, put in an appearance.

Nearly all of the nationally known liberal leaders who ‘would have to be depended on to give |force and standing to the move- | ment have either shied away from 1it or counselled delay. A few months ago a formidable third party ticket, to the left of Roosevelt, was regarded by many politicians as almost assured. Several things have contributed to the change. On the one hand, Mr. Rooseveélt himself is looked upon now by a large section of political | opinion as having moved rather| definitely toward the left, with his advocacy of such measures as the Guffey coal bill, the Wagner labor bill, the new tax plan, and strin- gent utility regulation Besides, there is much food for thought in what' the Republicans |are going. A definite revival of Re- | publican hope is ;apparent as steps are taken to reorganize that party along more conservative lines. If the Republicans are to become ultra conservative, say some of the Left- Wingers, why enhance their pros- pects of winning in 1936, by sp! | ting the Left-Wing opposition?
