Anyone who will take the time to read the| report of Harry L. Hopk Relief Administrator, in the current issue of Colliers will see that the accusations of abuse are grossly inaccurate. Mr. Hopkins points out that of some three million cases handled actual evidence of graft or misuse of funds| centered around less than 300 which reveals that most of the publicized charges are wholly unfounded. However, the point at issue now is the program to be followed in the future. The Federal Government announces that it will confine its activity solely to works projects and that it will be up to the various| States to give any direct relief or dole that is given,| or take care of their own unemployables as they see| fit. In other words, the Government is now moving| ahead with the Works Progress Administration which | provides jobs through public works but gives no direct relief. The authorities feel that the emer-| gency on which was expended some three billion dol- lars since 1933 is ove States and | local governments will be able to handle the situation | deral and the various from now on. It will be what some of the| States who have been crying the loudest against the | Federal way of handling relief do about it, but it is| a healthy indication. It is the turning point in defin-| ite recovery. The big majority of those thrown out of work by the depression are back at jobs eithey in privage indusfry or on public works under supervision of the Government. The group of jobless| and unemployables which were with us even in boom | times to the extent of a couple of million are prob-| lems for the respective States and local governments.; The crisis has been met by the Roosevelt Administra- | tion and the patient is well on the road to recovery. interesting to see who were AERIAL DEVELOPMENT OUTLOOK | HOPEFUL. There is reason to believe that Alaska is on the threshold of a great aerial development. The request for air mail contracts is being given further weight by the action of Pacific Coast cities and it is antici- | pated that by the time another summer season rolls} around, the Post Office Department will have funds made available for establishing such mail service in the Territory. Not only will this provide a much| needed s e to Alaskans but it would be the means by which the Pacific Alaska Airways would be enabled to carry on in the North on the main routes the year around instead of discontinuing as was the case this winter. Then, the air field development program for the| Territory is now before the proper authorities in Washington and is expected to get favorable action. Survey was made this summer for the actual needs by competent men and that data is now in the hands of those authorities. With public works projects being | pushed throughout the country as the result of direct relief activities being discontinued by the Govern- ment, it is not unreasonable to suppose that a works| {‘I‘he plans 1or émergepicy landing field: ~ | once | C.

Given air mail contracts and airport development, Alaska would forge ahead by leaps and bounds for it means faster transportation and communication, the two great needs of the Territory. There is reason to be hopeful at this time that they are not far away. Kingsford-Smith. (New York Times.) “Anzac eagle” an imaginative newspaper man called Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith, thinking {only of the youth of 18 who came out of the war an “Bedt airman in the world,” is the opinion of Only Dieu- donne Coste holds more records. From 1927 on, in which year. he made the fastest time around his I native Australia, Kingsford-Smith's performances have roused the admiration of airmen as well as of the | world. Probably his. greatest feat was a real circum- | navigation of the globe—real in the sense that he was | the first and only man who ever started from a base d returned to it after having descnbed a great rcle. Incidentally, his utilization of radio on that [ace loccasion was in itself a piece of pioneering that has | borne fruit. His crossing of the Tasman Sea from Australia to New Zealand, his leaps from England to Australia, his flight across the Atlantic, his ‘double transnavigation of the Pacific Ocean were more than exhibitions of hardihood. No doubt his primary pur- pose was the breaking of records. Yet it was no acci- dent that his course usually lay over some lonely sea, |some uninihabited waste never before viewed from | the air. Out of this record-breaking has come practical transpacific navigation between the United States and China by way of Manila and a closer tying of the young Occident to the old Orient. England in par- ticular has reason to thank him; for he has been a | powertul factor in demonstrating how the scattered members of its Empire may be knit together. Before the aerial trail blazers came, among whom he stood out as a man of exceptional daring. skill and dash, we thought of space in terms of distance rather than of time. No loriger is the earth's.circumference a matter of 24,000 miles. We talk now.of days’ travel by air. Indeed, the whole globe seems to have shrunk to a body of less than planetary size. We need such performances as Kingsford-Smith's not only to ad- vance the technique of transportation but to enlarge our conception of our social destiny. A man who thinks nothing of skimming through the air for a | distance of 3,000 miles between sunrise and sunset sets us dreaming of a Wellsian future when the whole atmosphere becomes a playground and barriers to the free intercourse of nations seems ridiculous. Climbing the Sky. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The exploration of the stratosphere is at once a undertaking of - first-rate scientific value nd a heroic enterprise’ calculated to stir the hearts of men everywhere. To climb many miles into the; heavens is a job that calls for the highest qualities of human courage, and when it has been done it is not, like so many exploits, a mere demonstration of cour- age, but an addition to man’s understanding ot the universe. The ascent of Captain Albert W. Stevens and Captain Orval A. Anderson sets a new world record, ey surpassing the brilliant and tragic flight of a Segviet balloon in 1934. In a temperature more than 75 degrees below zero, more than 14 miles above the earth, the daring explorers of the air have seen this old world almost as it appears to creatures not of earth. If their bir 's-eye view of our planet gives them however, the real value of their flight lies in their observations of the air about them. We can reconstruct an impression of the earth from afar, by what we know of it, living on its surface. But we cannot know so much about the| upper atmosphere, for the dense air near earth is a curtain which defies every scientific instrument in greater or less degree. For the proof of their endurance and courage, and for the utility of their discoveries, we may well honor two brave and skillful men of the American {army. Calling ’Em Names. (New York World-Telegram.) A Palm Beach editor, retaliating against Northern newspapers for referring to recent tropical blows: as ‘Florida hyrricanes,” headlined a recent ‘paper with: “yankee Storm Heads Southward.” We've been wondering what steps to take against |hurricanes, earthquakes and the like, and had about concluded to let them have their way. The Florida editor’s idea of calling them names is constructive. seem a bit futile to shake our fists, like But it relieves the pent-up emotions almost as ef- fectively as cussing the Government. Or we might turn our rage and resentment into even more useful channels and set them to work program might be worked out for the North, centered around the proposed air field development program. curing some man-made calamities, such as wars, de- pressions, slums and poverty.

Police contend the Lue will be found not far from Petersburg. They base this contention on the fact that Krause arrived in Petersburg in the skiff belongin/ to the Lue. Meanwhile, Erick Carlson, Mana- ger of the Northern Hotel in Ketchi- kan, who talked with Krause during the time he masqueraded in that| city as Ole Moe, was refused the $500 | reward and received a.sharp repri- mand from United States Marshal Harry A.
