Perhaps when other students fin- ished classes and went tired to bed, Bavva studied on into the night. He must have done that, for with 20 ot students in radio engin- ecrin avva was sent in the spring of 37 to America to finish his radio studies with RCA in Camden, New Jersey. In 1036, RCA and Russia agreed that RCA should accept a few de- servinz students each year for five years polishing in technical studies. Savva was chosen as one of the 1037 ch student gets six months of w:th RCA before returning to H itler bustsiArnAly Offi of staff, were recently “retired” by Reichsfuehrer Hitler as he, Hitler, took over direct command of the ‘entire armed force in Germany.

Savva Smirnov had studied divorced of ties with the past and five of those months when Levan- evsky and his five companion fliers were lost. The Russian government sent Smirnov to Alaska to conduct the radio end of the search. Today in his room at the Gas- tineau Hotel, Savva Smirnov talked brokenly and employed gestures and pencil to clarify his statements. He talked frankly of his work, and de- preciatingly of his obvi accom- plishments. There was wistiw look in his eyes when asked of his wife “I have only one month to study, yes? Then I go back to Russia!” he tious, seemed the new Russia in himself, that bashful way of admit- ting his accomplishments, that sparkling distant eye reflecting his pride in the vision of Russia to- TAKES NORAH THIRTEEN 0UT Savva Smirnov, young and ambi-| REPUBLICANS HONOR LINCOL, HIT DEMOCRATS More than 70 Men and Women Gather in Luth- eran Church, Banquet “Declaring for a “new birth of free- dom,” as typified by Abraham Lin- coln, more than 70 Republican men and women gathered in the Luther- an church parlors Saturday night at their annual Lincoln Day ban- quet to pay tribute to the memory of the martyred President and to launch the G. O .P. campaign of 1938. Sounding the keynote of the ga- - thering, Howard Stabler, candidate for Territorial Senator, is eulogiz- ing Lincoln as the “great advocate of freedom,” declared that many “deceived and deluded” Americans “fail to see that Treasury checks and promises of a more abundant life have caused the surrender of individual opportunity and initiative to government control” under the Democratic administration. “They fail to see,” he said, “that the land of free is now planted un- der orders of the Department of Ag- riculture; and fail to see that the home of the brave is burdened with oppressive taxation to support New Deal folly and extravagance “Today, in America, we need u new Declaration of Independence— independence of and from the New Deal administration. We need to re- dedicate ourselves to the great prin- |ciples of Abraham Lincoln that ‘this |mation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.’ We ought to com- mence the work of rebuilding our constitutional system of govern- ment; and we must never again for- get that ‘eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.’” | Hits Democrats Striking out at what he termed the failure of the Democratic party, Albert White, candidate for Dele- igate to Congress, charged the Dem- gcrats with repudiating their party !platform of 1032 and again the one of 1936. “Not only has it been done by the national administration, but by the Legislators in our Territorial Leg- islature,” he declared. Stating that he stood firmly on the Republican platform, White said the adoption of a unicameral, or one- house, . Legislafure, “as advocated by Mr. Dimond,” would mean the ruin of Alaska. He charged the pension system now is inadequate, the liquor situation “intolerable” and “there is no relief in sight un- der the New Deal.” Declaring the martyrs of history have often been found in the minor- ity, the Delegate candidate urged \a rallying of the Republican minor- e What Is Your || : DOUGLAS | News 1.Q.?

TRAIN IS DERALED BY PICK ON RAIL Nobody Inj_ured, Princess Norah Delayed 11 Hours A workmen's pick, lying on a railroad track, caused a boat to be 11 hours late in sailing from Skag- way yesterday morning.

The engine was derailed, but did not turn over, and the cars be- hind remaining on the track with their fifteen or so passengers, it was said. By the time the train had been put on the track again, several hours time had been consumed and the Princess Norah, waiting for pasengers from the train, was de- layed. = R MEETINGS POSTPONED The usual meeting of the Ladies’ Auxiliary, F.O.E. has been postponed from this evening until the next |regular meeting night, when it is {hoped the weather will be milder. | Also regular meeting of Douglas Eastern Stars will not be held to- ! morrow evening, it was announced this morning.
