Wreck Helpers Call for Help WHEELING, W. Va, May 4 — Patrolmen Harry Wolf and Harry Cotts were ordered to investigate an accident involving two cars. They started out in a radio car. Soon came a telephone call from the officers: “Our car has been in an acci- dent. Better send another car to check on the first wreck.” Treasury Has $629,582 1 in “Conscience Fund” WASHINGTON, May 4. — The U. 8. Treasury has a periodic visitor who planks down a $100 note at a teller’s cage with the request that it be put in the “comscience fund” and then walks away. He conceals his identity, but Treasury officials believe he un- justly obtained from the govern- ment certain sums in connection with a building contract. The “conscience fund” from all sources now amounts to $629,582.47. THIS AFTERNOON ISIMMONS IS ON CIRCUIT FLIGHT AAT Pilot and Plane Bring in Ailing Passenger This Forenoon Company business was the main call that Pilot Sheldon Simmons heeded when he put the Alaska Air Transport Lockheed Vera sea- plane into the air from here this afternoon about 1 o'clock, to make a flying circuit of nearby island points between Juneau and Sitka. As far as Hoonah, Pilot Simmons | this afternoon had as passenger Frank Wright, superintendent of the Icy Straits Packing Company there, returning after two days in Ju- neau. H This morning, Pilot Simmor flew the Lockheed to Gustavus, with | I. P. Taylor, leaving Juneau at 9| o'clock, and to Hirst-Chichagof with | Mrs, Al Bloomgquist. From there,| he hopped empty to Chichagof, to pick up an emergency hospital case, Mrs. J. Ballinger, with whom he re- | turned to Juneau about 11:45 o'clock this morning. Returning from his flight to Chi- chagof and Sitka yesterday all noon, Pilot Simmons ed b here at 5:30 o'clock with Art Carl- son, Oscar Nelson, Adolph Ander- son and Wiano Salo, as passenzers| from Sitka. Pilot Simmons e pected to return to Juneau thi u!—‘ ternoon at about 5:30 o'clock. —— e GOLD BRAID ATTRACTS IN WASHINGTON ton. His high office and many ceremonial functions required him |to gold braid abouf the city, gold! braid at receptions, and gold braid in Arlington cemetery. He didn't like that much, but it was part of his job. | The net result was an appear- ance of stupendous importance his visit. Actually there likely was far less weight attached to his official conferences than to thosg of many less gold-braided officlals coming directly from London. As far as actual international importance goes, if they shot off 21 guns for Lord Tweedsmuir, by com- | off the capitol dome for Walter Board of Trade, who visited he recently with far less ostentati SIGNIFICANCE But underneath all the gold braid there undoubtedly is real meat in the Governor General's visit. Most important were intimations which, when studied closely, point- ed to talk of concerted action be- tween the United States and Can- ada in event of a foreign war which both might feel was of no} cspecial American concern. On the day after Lord Tweeds- muir’s arrival here, J.L. Ilsley, Min- ister of National Revenue, intro- duced in the Canadian Parliament a bill to give the government rigid {control over manufacture, importa- {tion and exportation of arms and' |cther munitions of w Under its terms, as outlined in news dispatches, it could bring Can- ada into alignment with the Unit-| ed States arms embargo. i COOPERATION | On the same day Senator William | Duff laid before the Parliament in Ottawa a proposal to strengthen |Canada’s naval defense, comment- ing at the time that Canada should look to the United States, not Great Britain, for help in the event of trouble. Without knowing Senator Duff's relationship to Canadian adminis- trative forces, it is evident that neither the United States nor Can- ada can take any important inter- national position without concern | of the other. Certainly Lord Tweedsmuir did | not overlook the opportunity for an informal “fireside chat” with President Roosevelt that might help clarify this relationship. i SRS R MRS.
