(Continued rmm Page One) al air mml rate will eliminate much of th> heavy shipments of catalogs and similar material which the air lmanl contractor has been forced to accept in the general category of mail, with a consequent loss of reve- nue through inability to accept other pay-loads on the same trips. Under the plan of making a sur- charge on mail delivered on these special routes in, the Territory, which would exclude the delivery of mail not paid for at the air mail rates, contracts can be obtained at a considerable saving to the avail- able appropriations and thus per- mit the making of deliveries oftener on existing routes and the extension of plane deliveries to proposed mail routes.” RPLUS FISH MEASURE The measure to make tunds avail- able to carry out the provisions of existing law authorizing the Fed- eral Surplus Commodities Corpora- tion to purchase surplus fish and fish products from normal trade channels passed the Senate April 7. This bill passed the House on March 24, after being the subject of some debate in which the Dele- zate entered in an effort to have an amendment inserted that would Increase the appropriation from one 0 two million dollars. The bill was linally passed with the appropria- tion set at one million dollars, which was agreed to by some of the mem- bers, with the reservation that ad- ditional funds would be asked for later when needed. The Delegate’s primary interest in he bill was for the purpose of re- lieving the Alaska herring fisheries by having the Corporation take over and distribute part of the 1936 sur- plus herring pack which is still on hand. ALASKA AIR STATION Urging the early commencement construction of the Army Air Cor station in Alaska, authorized by the Wilcox Air Defense Act, Delegate Dimond testified on April 8 before the subcommittee of the House Committee on Appropriations in charge of the Army supply bill for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1937. Showing the subcommittee, through the use of maps and charts, the great change in the relationship Alaska bears to the United States in the event of an attack from the west under modern methods of war- fare, and the importance of pro- viding proper defense for the Ter- ritory, he pointed out that to com- plete the air base would require several years, which makes it the more urgent to provide funds now with which the project may be started. He requested that the ap- propriation bill under consideration be reported out with an item of 2 million dollars set up for the Al- aska base, which would be sufficient to get the work well under way this year, and leaving the balance of the estimated 10 million dollars re- quired to construct the base to be provided later as called for. Delegate’s Points Emphasizing his points with the figures showing the proximity of |the Territory to the route of an attack by any western power on the United States, the Delegate said: “Alaska is, in my judgment, and in the judgment of a great many other people who have made a study of military strategy, the weakest point in the whole chain of Na- tional defense.” Arguing that provision for the | proposed base near Fairbanks would {be an investment in peace, Delegate 'Dimond summarized this point in xconcludmg his testimony with the | statement: “I submit to this committee that it is cheaper to install these defen- sive works than it is to run the risk |of war. After all, what we are try- ing to do is to prevent war. One |thing that may bring about war is to leave ourselves in a defenseless position. * * * Knowing the history ‘of the world as we know it, certain- 1ly the recent history, we know that the only thing that keeps a foreign nation from taking possession of Alaska is fear. * * * if we can in- crease that apprehension on their part—that they cannot take Alaska and get away with it—we will have done something for our National de- fense and for peace.” of AIRFEILDS IN ALASKA On April 9 the subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Appropri- ations held hearings on the air com- merce section of the Department of Commerce Appropriation bill. Sena- tor Royal 8. Copeland of New York, Chairman of the special subcom- mittee of the Senate Commerce Committee appointed to investigate disasters occuring to aircraft within the past year and to recommend measures for safety in air transpor- tation, appeared before the Com- mittee and vigorously urged increase in the appropriations for the Bu- reau of Air Commerce as the bill had heen passed by the House andl By LYDIA GRAY SHAW AP Feature Service Writer NEW YORK, April 21.—Children would not need so much help in dressing and eating, says Mrs, Ray- mond Burrows, if their parents dld not hurry them along. Mrs. Burrows sees that what she | preaches is practiced at a coopera- tive kindergarten the Columbia campus. As a resuit the 16 children there get out of play suits unaided. “There is no anxious mother on hand to extort them to hurry,” she explains. ary household disconcerts a young- ster and slows up finger: are awkward enough anyway Conversation Curtailed Children at the Community Co- operative Assoclaticn, as the Xin-| dergarten is known, also manipul- late forks and spoons without as- sistance at'lunch time. “Conversation is curtailed,” says Mrs. Burrows. “If parents would realize that children loiter at meals | because they are trying to follow| the adult chatter, they would seat the youngsters at a separate ta- ble where there are no distractions.

The youngsters constitute a cross- section of the ‘city’s population, (The majority are American-born white children but there are fome of Japanese and Filipino extraction and a few colored.) Their parents vary from day laborers to profes- sional men but all are on an equal footing so far as the school is con- cerned. as recommended by the Bureau of { the Budget. At Senator Copeland’s request Col. J. M. Johnson, Assist- ant Secretary of Commerce, in charge of the Bureau of Air Com- merce and the newly appointed Di- rector of Air Commerce, Mr. Fred D. Fagg, Jr., and others, and Col Edgar S. Gorrell, President of the Air Transport Association of Am-| erica, which includes nearly all of the air operating companies, testi-| fied before the subcommittee and | pointed out the need of increased appropriations in order to bring about safety in the air. Delegate Di- mond urged the Committee to in- corporate in the bill the amount required to put into construction the Alaska air program, $2,900,000, and pointed out the particular need not| only for air navigation facilities,| such as lights and radio, but the much greater need for the construc- tion of air fields in Alaska. In hik| request the Delegate had the full support of Senator Copeland and of Colonel Gorrell. Emergency Fields Mr. Fagg, Director of the Bureau of Air Commerce, advised the Com- mittee that under the present law the Bureau of Air Commerce had no| authority to construct air fields ex- cept enfergency fields, whereupon Delegate Dimond said that emer- zency fields embraced a large part of the fields now so much needed in Alaska. The chances of securing an appropriation for the Alaska program in this bill are much les- sened by the fact that the Bureau of the Budget refused to pass any estimate for such construction, and generally the Committees follow closely the recommendations of the Budget. Several members of the subcom- mittee expressed their approval of | the Alaska program provided there was authority in law to make tht appropriation under existing legis- lation. Senator Truman of Missouri, remarked that the $2,900,000 re- quired for this program was a mod- est sum in comparison with the amount which the Federal Govern- ment in years past had expended in aiding the construction of rail- roads. In answer to a question pro- pounded by the Chairman, Senator McKellar, the Delegate said that if Alaska were as well supplied wiih roads and railroads as the several States, there would be no need to ask Congress to aid in the construc- tion of air fields, but that since vast stretches of the Territory had neither roads nor railroads there was insistent need of having a complete and comprehensive sys- tem of air fields and some air navi- gation facilities. NO CHANGE—GOLD PRICE During the past week much con- cern has been expressed about the many rumors with respect to the probable gold policy of the Admin- istration. It was confidently assert- ed by some speculators and others that the Administration intended to she heads near| in and “The bustle of an ordin-| which o Hum, Dressing Get on There, Shoe PRI Will T Ever Get This Tied?

Some time ago the Delegate in- quired of the Treasury Department about the policy anticipated, and, in the absence of Secretary Morgen- thau, one of the assistant secretar- ies said that no statement could be made. Yesterday a representative of the Associated Press called on the | Delegate and asked his opinion of the probable effect of the reduction of the price of gold below $35 an ounce. The Delegate replied that he could only quote the statement made by Senator Thomas of Oklahoma which appeared in the New York Times of April 8, wherein the Sena- tor is reported to have said, “If they start to deflate it will mean just one thing and that will be hell.” The Delegate pointed out that re- duction in the price of gold would be contrary to the poicy of the Ad- ministration from 1933 to the pres- ent moment—that policy being one of reflation—and that now to lower the price of gold would send us a long way back on the road toward conditions that existed on 1933, and®that, so far as he knows, the Administration contemplates no change of policy. ter, yesterday, the President, in answer to a question propounded to him at a press conference, stated that neither he nor the Treasury knew of any plan to lower the world price of goid: He suggested that such reports evidently originated in the foreign pre >ee— — SILVER ANNIVERSARY IS CELEBRATED BY WELLMAN HOLBROOKS Mr. and Mrs. were at home friends last casion of the versary.

Dish, AN OLD FAVORITE A gen for many 4 lover of old-fashioned quests for “seconds.” By MRS. ALEXANDER GEORGE Apple ple, in spite ‘of the stiff competition it has faced from desserts, still retains top honors in the ma- \Jority of American households. For there is nothing which tastes quite as good time and time again as the “All-American dessert.” Be- cause it may be served on so many different occasions in so many if- ferent ways the hostess who 15 anxious to please all kinds of ap- petites finds it a comforting stand- by. Flaky Crust Important One of the most unportant se- crets of successful apple-pie-mak- ing is the ability to turn out a flaky crust. Preparing just the right kind of a crust for apple ple requires four things — careful measuring, chill- the The ingredients of the crust should be thoroughly chilled be- fore they are mixed. Many good cooks also chill the dough before it s rolled out and put in the pie tin. Others allow it to remain in the re- rigerator over night. In contrast to lemon or cream {pies which require a hot oven until their single crusts are baked, the |two crusts necessary for apple pie |demands a hot aven for the first ten minutes and a more moderate oven until the filling as well as the crust is done, Here is my favorite pie crust recipe. It is followed by my favor- ite apple pie filling recipe. Pie Crust (For Two-Crust Pie) cups flour; ' teaspoon salt; % cup lard; 3 tablespoons cold water, Mix flour with salt. Cut in lard | with a knife and, mixing with lhru1 knife, slowly add the cold water. ‘When a stiff dough forms take it up | in the hands and press it into a | ball. Roll out the dough and fit it | into a pie pan, pressing the dough ! well into the corners. Prick the sides and bottom with a fork. Bake for 15 minutes in a moderately hot oven. Add filling. The thing to remember in mak- | ing pie crust is to use one-third as | 2% {much fat as lard. Some cooks add 2 tablespoonsful of butter for fla- vor. Pie crust should be handled as quickly and with as little water as" possible added to it.
