A confiscated letter, according to the Socialist regime at Madrid, links former King Alfonso with the Fascist revolt. The letter quoted informed rebels saying ‘victory is ours and you can count on me for and Fourth Divisions with the big- gest vote ever given a candidate in the Territory.” This is the statement of Frank the Alaska after a campaign trip through the Interior.

AIRPLANES DESTROYED LISBON, Portugal, Aug. 26. — A statement received here, ascribed to the Rebel Junta at Burgos, Spain, asserted rebel fliers destroyed 20 planes flown to Madrid from France and also laid waste to the Getafe and Cuatrovientos airports on the outskirts of Madrid. The report said the hangars, workshops and supply depots were wrecked and landing fields so pit-! ted by bombs that the Spanish government planes attempting to land later, overturned and burned. STOCK PRICES BACKED UP BY PROFIT TAKING Business and Industrial Pic- ture Remains Per- fectly Bright NEW YORK, Aug. 26—The Stock Market shuffled over a tortuous; path today and ended backing into slightly lower territory. There was little change in the general satisfactory business and industrial picture and the day's er- ratic performance is attributed largely to profit- taking. - Today's close was irregular.

GORE IN TOWN FROM CAMPAIGN ' TRIP, INTERIOR Declines to Comment on Fish Traps—Recognizes Rasmuson Election Declining to comment on fish | traps, Lester O. Gore, Republican candidate for Delegate to Congress and former well known resident of |Juneau where he was engaged in law practice, was back in his old |home town today after arriving |from the Westward last night on the Alaska. Things are looking up in the In- terior, the candidate who traversed {much of the Second, Third and | Fourth Divisions, reported, but, he Esaid, while there is great mining ]roads. Lack of branch roads, par- ‘ucularly along the Steese Highway, | Mr. Gore said, is handicapping min- |ing. The big operator, he ex- plained, has money to supply his own roads but the small operator is at a disadvantage and some prop- erties can not be worked because of the lack of transportation fa- cilities. Landing fields for airplanes would be a big help, fie said, but he feels that further road work is most es- sential. The candidate said he was not familiar with the air field de- velopment program now being con- isidered for the Territory which would mean an expenditure of vir- tually $3,000,000 in airport devel- opment in Alaska, but frankly stat- ed he believed development of such nature along with roads would be a big boon to mining. He advocated removal of the toll from the Richardson Highway and a reduction_in freight rates as two of the things which would be of the most good to the Interior, but did not go into details of how he would accomplish it. Touching on the liquor issue, the candidate said he believed it could be ‘worked out by law, but that it was a difficult problem to handle. | Asked as to the “abolition of the | Liquor Control Board and the pro- motion of Temperance” as advocat- ed in his printed platform, Mr. Gore said he believed a solution could be worked out but he believed it would have to have considerable study.

The;plant is run on the| ;same basis as a private concern, he said, and pays taxes the same as | private firms. ‘Deposits on memrs; |are required but the city pays in- | terest ~on_ deposits, the attorney | explained. ‘ “We are even building up & de- | pregiation fund,” he explained, “and :I mean we really are putting money | in the bank. It isn't just on paper.” | | Rates Down. Telephone rates and power rates | |have gone down since municipal | ownership was inaugurated, Mr. | |McCain said, revealing what can lbe done, he pointed out. An ex- | tension phone in Ketchikan, for |example, is charged at the rate of | 150 cents a month, compared with 18250 in Juneau. | Commenting, the attorney said:| “While I am unalterably opposed to | Government interference in private business, I feel that public utilities are not in that classification and |can be operated most successfully (for the consumer under public {ownership.” Speaking politically, Mr. McCain | said he is basing his campaign in large measure against the trend toward centralization in govern- ment by bureau. He referred par- ticularly to the Liquor Control | Board and the Board of Education. He declared it his belief that the Legislature should set up the liquor laws and leave only the matter of administration to the liquor bon.rd! or some such board. The present system he decried as inadequate and discriminatory. He charged that the present board has dis- criminated in issuing licenses, but named no specific cases, and held that the board had issued licenses over protest of the majority of citizens in some instances. Would Elect Commissioner Mr. McCain said he favored the lelection of the Commissioner of Education and the revival of rural school boards. He deeclared such procedure a measure of home rule. “There are too many carpetbag- gers, relatives and pink-washed Re- | publicans in office,” he declared. The candidate said he found lit- tle or no need for relief about the Territory, but that he was opposed to many of the relief proj- ects because they burdened cities with bonded indebtedness. “Ketchikan,” he added, “is the only town in the Territory that has incurred no bonded indebted- ness. We are in good shape.” .- MRS. FICKEN GOES SOUTH | | | { Mrs. A. J. Ficken left for the States aboard the Alaska and will remain there for a couple of months.

We have gained much valuable information from our studies, and upon our return to Juneau and during our stay we will go over the ground here, and we hope to meet many more Juneau people.” B3 e OTSARENE iivadi TRUITT REPORTS FINE RECEPTION IN THE INTERIOR Third and fith Divisions Solidly for Democrats, Judge Declares The Third and Fourth Divisions are solidly for the Democratic ad- ministration in the Territory in the opinion of James S. Truitt, At- torney General, who returned on the Alaska last night after several weeks campaigning trip through those divisions. “Everywhere we went we were given great receptions,” Judge Truitt said. “The Fairbanks meeting was jammed. The whole town was out at Nenana; Anchorage jammed the house and at’ Palmer, Seldovia, Seward, Valdez and Cordova there was not even standing room at any of our rallies. It really was a re- markable ovation.” Everywhere throughout the Ter- ritory industry is at its peak and mining and fishing have had ex- ceptional years, he reported. It has been very dry and some places dan- gerously dry, he said. The streams are so low in some places that fish can not get up the streams, the Judge reported, and near Cordova he saw thousands of salmon along the beach unable to get to the spawning grounds. Lack of water also affected some of the small min- ing operators but on the whole the industry has been making great strides this summer. “The increase in the price of gold has widened the pay streak for the miner 75 per cent,” Judge Truitt said. “They are working ground that heretofore they could not touch. Even the Fairbanks Ex- ploration Company is doing that as are many other operators. The new gold price is rehabilitating the en- tire industry and it is the greatest thing that could have happened to the Territory.” There are no idle men anywhere, the Judge said, and business is uni- versally good. Judge Truitt said he found little or no dissatisfaction with the action of the uqqhx Board and most places were agreed the closing regulation was a good one.” HELD LAST EVENING Mayor Dore Dares Hearst to Send Gorilla Gang Into City SEATTLE, Aug. 26. — A slander suit for one quarter of a million dollars, a huge mass meeting in the Eagles Auditorium and the an- nouncement of the formation of a Law and Order League marked de- velopments yesterday in the Amer- jcan Newspaper Guild's strike against the Seattle Post-Intelli- gencer. Slander Suit Dave Beck, official of the Inter- national Brotherhood of Team- sters, filed a suit against the Times Publishing Company alleging an editorial and news article in the Seattle Daily Times falsely ac- cused him of the responsibility in connection with the strike. . The Times declined any immediate com- ment. Mass Meeting At the mass meeting last night the Eagles’ Auditorium, called present the Guild's stand on the strike, Mayor John F. Dore said the strike is a battle of all wage earners of the community. The '’#yor denied charges of mob vio- deénce and said there Will'be none as long as he is Mayor and then he added that if Willlam Ranholph Hearst, owner of the Seattle Post- Intelligencer, “brings his band of (gorillas into Seattle, we will make |it hotter than Hell for him." No Mob Violence | Other speakeers, including War- {ren G. Magnuson, County Prose- cutor, also denied there has been any mob violence. | Law and Order League | The announcement of a Law and Order League, claiming a member- ship of 500 businessmen, said there has been elected a ‘“secret execu- time committee to transact busi- ness at hand,” in connection with the Guild strike. The League of- ficials said they have started a {campaign for 25,000 members. Guild’s Position The Guild is seeking reinstate- ment of two members and the claim jis made they were discharged for Guild activities, seeking better sal- aries and working conditions. The Post-Intelligencer suspended publication on August 13 when the building was picketed. EIGHT MILLION CASE FISH PACK NOW ASSURED Total Thm\E Last Satur- day Stands at 7,932,371 Cases for Territory i An 8,000,000-case salmon pack for Alaska is now assured, according to figures released today by the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries. The pack now stands at 7,982,371 cases, well over the last record year, 1934, when 7,- 481,000 cases were packed. L. G. Wingard, Alaska Agent for the Bureau, before leaving last night on the Widgeon for Petersburg, de- clared there was no question now that the 8,000,000-case mark would be surpassed, setting a new high record, as figures from upper Clar- ence Strait, which closes the 28th, and the West Coast, which closes the 29th, are yet to come in. The figures through last Satur- day reveal that Southeast Alaska had packed 3,710,056 cases and the Southwest 4,222,325 cases or a total of 7,932,371 cases. .- HOLDEN ON FLIGHT Capt. Jim Davis made a return flight to Taku Harbor this after- noon in his Marine Airways Bel- lanca seaplane, piloted by Alex Holden. ~ The ‘plane left at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon with express for the Taku Harbor cannery, re- turning at 3:30. Lloyd Jarman was flight mechanic. cratic administration’s policies that have benefitted Alaska, and those specifically helping Douglas was made last night in a talk by Dele- gate Anthony J. Dimond, in the Eagles Hall in Douglas to an en- thusiastic audience of Douglas citi- zens, Referring to administration pro- jects that have definitely helped Douglas, the Delegate told of the construction of the Douglas Bridge, the construction of the Bureau of Public Road's highway from the bridge to Douglas, linking the com- munities of Douglas and Juneau to their mutual benefit, and mention- ing that the bridge had been sought by both Douglas and Juneau for twenty years, and also when he had spoken there in 1932, the bridge was particularly asked for by Douglas residents. The third project, also completed, was the water and sewer system which was so badly needed by Douglas, made possible by PWA. The fourth project is Douglas’ re- quest for a small boats harbor,| which as a type of project, all those familiar with the necessary procedure know must pass fhrough a long sequence of both surVey and| legislation action before being ac- complished, the Delegate explained. Necessary legislation for the sur- vey by Army engineers had been| passed, Mr. Dimond said, ahd pointe ed out that the board had been here this summer, and at least that much| had been accomplished. In charac- teristic frankness the Delegate told his audience that it might be one, two or more years before .a . small boat ‘harbor would' be made on the Channel, but that the projéct was put definitely on its way during this administration. The Gold Price ' | In touching on the Democratic Administration's policies that had! been outstandingly beneficial to Al- aska as a whole, Delegate Dimond stressed the incalculdble benefits from the Administration’s gold poli- cy, increasing the price from $20.571 to $35 an ounce, thereby putting many previously idle properties in Alaska into producing mines, ex- pediting the search for new proper- ties, and increasing the value of mines producing under the old price. “Everywhere I visited in the In- terior and many places to the West- ward have been greatly benefitted by this advance in gold price and the resulting prosperity is evident on every hand. T conservatively esti- mate that at least 1,000 more men are directly employed in mining in the Territory as a result of the Ad- Delegate Dimond Makes Fine Talk at Douglas; Critics Are Answered; New Deal Policies Explained, Benefits Are Told A factual resume of the Demo- fought for .the carrying out of his and the Democratic Party of Al- aska’s platform for home rule in the| Territory, and reported that some steps toward that goal had been reached through national legisla- tion giving the Alaska Legislature control of the handling of liquor in the Territory, also of elections, and | through the repeal of the old placer mining law which was accomplished through the Delegate’s efforts,| under the new niining law the Al-| aska Legislature had increased pow- ers relative to mining. The fourth | step was that through new legis- lation municipalities in Alaska could now bond themselves for necessary improvements, by vote of the resi- dents without a special act of con- gress. Criticisms Answered Commenting on the criticism of the Acdministration’s expenditures, Delegate Dimond pointed out that they were not high in relation to what has been accomplished, and cited figures and incidents. Hhe fur- ther stated that Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia Uni- versity, an internationally known figure, had written that the world war involved the loss, directly and indirectly of 30,000,000 lives. Further it had exceeded in cost 40 billions of dollars. In breaking this staggering amount of money down Dr. Butler wrote that amount would have pro- | vided a $2500 home, $1,000 worth of furniture, and five acres of land at $100 an acre for every family in the United States, Canada, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, France, Belglum, Germany, and Russia, and in addition to each city over 20,000 in population in these countries it |would have provided a $20,000,000 University and a $10,000,000 library; further the remainder at 5 per cent interest in perpetuity would be $1500 a year salary to 100,000 nurses, and to 100,000 school teachers. Mr. Dimond said he brought this paral- lel to his listeners’ attention, be- cause if the world could spend such amounts for destruction surely this country could spend the amounts xt‘v has found nec: ¢4 for construc- | tion and the re-habilitation of de- pression wrecked humanity. Relief Funds The increased amounts for build- | ing in the Territory were s ed by | the Delegate, and he also pointed | out that the road from Anchorage | to Matanuska was built entirely by | relief funds, and not one cent was| taken from Alaska's regular road | funds for this purpose. The Dele- | gate also explained the extensive ministration’s Gold policy, and in this estimate I am not including the increased number employed at the Alaska Juneau which I understand is now employing nearly 300 more men than were employed in 1982, I am not including these because I haven't learned if the increase was due entirely to the increased price, or from a general policy of expan- sion of operations by the owners,” Delegate Dimond said. FDR Widens Pay Streak The general attitude among the miners was summarized in one statement which an old-time miner made to the Delegate, when he said: | “Roosevelt has widened the pay streak in Alaska!" The Delegate pointed out that the Administration’s gold policy was one that while doing great good in many aspects it hadn’t injured any- body. In relation to the Administration’s Social Security Act, the delegate stressed the fact that it was the theory of the Roosevelt Adminis- fration that it was the business of the Federal Government to take care of its citizens and that the( rank and file should have neces-| sary economic security. Securities Act Under the Security act several types of security are provided for by the Federal Government: one to aged persons with a maximum amount of $15.00 a month from the government, matehing an equal amount to be contributed by the state or territory in which the pen- sioners reside. Amether provision is for the buying of annuities, the an- nual payments for which are paid both by employee and employer, Eventually this plan will take care airfield and road program the Ad- ministration has underway for Al- aska. The act also provides through state and territorial legislation for compensation for unemployment! through a Federal Tax on payrolls, ' and other features of it include care’ of the blind, dependent children, and ' enlargement of the public health service. Gets Back at Canards \ In answer to statements by both Govetnor Landon and Republican Territorial candidates that the Se- curity act was unworkable Delegate Dimond pointed out that it was al- repdy working in all of the states and territories as far as the annuity features were concerned, and part of its other features in 31 states and that he was sure as soon as all the state and territorial legislatures meet it would be working in ail of the states and territories. Delegate Dimond said that he had read re- ports that Governor Landon had stated if he were elected he woud see that the act was amended and the Delegate believed that an amendment to this act by a new administration would mean throw- ing it overboard entirely. Fish Trap Stand | Delegate Dimond re-affirmed his, stand for the abolition of fish traps, and said that when that legislation ' was passed it must contain provls-i ions limiting seining to the fisher- men of Alaska. The Delegate said that he would work for legislation that would limit outside seiners in B GRS (Continued on Page Eight) Juneau High and Grade Schools of 25,000,000 peaple when they reach the age of 65. Vocational Act Another act of importance under which Alaska is benefiting, the Dele- gate ‘explained, was the Vocational Education Act which is affording a wider range of practical education to all Alaskans. Consistently the Delegate said he, g Open Aug. 31 Juneau public schools, high and grade, will open Monday morning, Amgust 31, at' 10 o'clock, according to an an- nouncement made this after- noon by Superintendent A. B. Phillips. LD HERE TONIGHT DELEGATEIS TO MAKE ADDRESS AT 8 0°CLOCK - THIS EVENING Coliseum Is Place and Ev- erybody on Gastineau Channel Is Invited to Attend Meet Everything is in readiness for the, big “Dimond Rally” which will start promptly at 8 o'clock tonight in the Coliseum theatre, to which all resi- dents of Gastineau Channel are in- vited to hear their Delegate to Con- |gress, Anthony J. Dimond, speak not only on campaign issues but to dis- cuss as well, the many acts of the |present administration which have Ihad a direct effect upon the Terri- |tory of Alaska and on all Alaskans, The rally is sponsored by the Wo- men’s Democratic Club of Gastineau |Channel. Mrs. Emil Krause, presi- ydent of the club emphasized today ‘Lhe importance of everyone coming early as parts of the program will be broadcast over KINY and it is im- portant that the program start promptly. Additional stage lighting and dec- orations have been added to the Coliseum’s stage, and a snappy in- troductory program has been ar- ranged following which the Dele- gate will be the sole speaker of the evening. The doors of the theatre will be open at 7:30 o'clock, going early will be seated at that time, and organ music, from the Coliseum’s Wurlitzer will be pro- vided until- the program starts. “As Alaska’s Delegate to Congress for the past three years Delegate Di- mond has a fund of information of interest to every citizen of this vi- cinity,” Mrs, Krause said today. “As a consequence the Women's Democratic Club as sponsors of this rally urge every citizen of this com- munity to attend and hear their Delegate discuss the wide range of legislation passed by the past two sessions of Congress, and how it has and will continue to affect Alaska.” ALASKANS ARE COGNIZANT OF PROGRESS MADE Delegate Reports General Satisfaction with Demo- cratic Administration Arriving in Juneau last night on the Alaska following more than a month’s campaign trip which took him to Nome, Candle, and various other places in the second Division, an extended stay in the Fairbanks |area, as well as many places in the Third Division, Delegate Anthony J. Dimond, said that after personal talks with hundreds of friends, ac- quaintances new and old, and speeches in many towns and vil- lages, he was convinced that the Territory as a whole realized and appreciated the constructive work {lie Democratic administration had done for all of Alaska, and that a strong Democratic majority would be registered throughout the Terri- tory The Administration’s gold policy In - partieular has brought back ereally increased mining activity, throughout the mining areas and as A result mary communities are benefitting from the increased em- ployment and greatly stimulated business, he said, > The increased road building in the Territory under the Adminis- tration has met with great favor, the Delegate said, and general con- ditions have incomparably improved over 1932. Voters, Mr. Dimond be- lieves, are well aware that this re- covery was stimulated and brought about by the Democratic adminis- tration, and will take no chances when they go to the polls, by voting anything other than the Democra- tic ticket, insuring the continuance of the policies of a friendly admin- istration toward Alaska. ———— ATTORNEY ROBERTSON FLIES TO FAIRBANKS R.
