THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “4ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. LII, NO. 7836. JUNEAU, ALASKA, SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1938. MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS JUNEAU READY FOR BIG CELEBRATION * DIMOND PLANS AIR MAIL FROM FRIELE URGES EX - GOVERNOR JAPAN SCHEMES |Japanese Fi DIGNITARIES FURTHER ROADS SEATTLE BEFORE PASSAGE OF RIGGS RETURNS TO TERMINAT ARRIVE HERE shing Fleet Has E Left Bristol Bay Section; FOR TERRITORY FIRST OF YEAR DIMOND BILL AFTER 17 YEARS Delegate Hopes to Get Fed- eral Aid to Match Ter- riorial Balances COAST AIR MAIL TO START BY JANUARY 1 Juneau Small Boat Harbor Project Definite for Another Year Airfields and roads continue to be the great need in Alaska and a plan is now under consideration whereby furthering road develop- ment may be accomplished during the present fiscal year, Delegate| Anthony J. Dimond said upon his arrival here this morning aboard the Baranof. The plan, he ex- plained, is to get Federal grants to be matched by unexpended balances in the Territorial roads funds. Whether such a program can be worked out in connection with the new Federal lending and spending legislation is not yet definitely as- certained but serious consideration is being given to such a program now in Washington, he said. “Airfields and roads are our cry- ing need,” he said. “They are com- ing gradually and we must bend every effort toward acquiring more of them. Definite progress is now being made on the air mail. We will see within from three to six months the establishment of air mail from Seattle to Juneau, con-| necting with the present service to Fairbanks. I can definitely say that such service from Seattle will| be in operation by the first of the year. A sum of $100,000 has been appropriated for starting the serv- ice and there is no question that Jater it will be enlarged as new equipment, which is difficult to get, is made available.” New Fields Needed New and enlarged fields are nec- essary to meet this requirement, he pointed out. It is probable that| eventually huge four-motored land planes will be flown over the route | and to accommodate them it will be necessary to have larger fields at Ketchikan, Juneau and other points where the mail may land, the Delegate explained. Ultimately, he said, the program calls for an air mail route up the' coast, with branch lines into the Interior, thus giving the entire Ter- ritory air mail service. However, that development, he said, would not be, immediate. { Juneauw’s small boat harbor is definite for another year but this| year the project was “lost in the| shuffle” during the closing days/ of Congress, the Delegate reported. | Near Top of List “The Juneau project is near the, top of the list of War Department undertakings in Alaska,” he said, “put I do not believe money will be made available for construction this year. However, there is every as- surance that we will get the money | next year. I would say that the pro-| ject is as definite as anything of | that nature can be.” | Prospects for the International Highway are particularly bright, the Delegate reported. Just before he left Washington he was in cons ference with President Roosevelt and the Chief Executive is enthu- siastic about the route, he found. The President hasn’t named the American Commission to negotiate with a like Commission from Cana-| da, he reported, but he finticipates“ that Donald McDonald of Fair-| banks will be a member as probably will be Congressman Warren Mag- nuson of Seattle, who fathered the bill creating the Commission setup. Naval Development Though the large appropriation first proposed for naval develop- | ment in the Territory was not ap—} proved by Congress, the Navy is going ahead with defense plans for| Alaska, Mr. Dimond-said, and even- | tually Alaska will see several bases | along the coast fitting into the gen- | eral Pacific Coast defense program.| The Sitka base is being gradually developed and some work is being done at Kodiak. Also it is under-| stood that a large base will be lo- cated in the Aleutians. The Bristol Bay fishing situa- tion, he reported, is still the source | of dissatisfaction. The agreement with Japan appears to be solving the problem in a temporary way, but the Delegate believes definite legislation will be necessary before the problem is entirely solved. There (Continued on Page Six) Service Will Start as Soon as Equipment Is Avail- able, Crosson Reports Pacific Alaska Airways will start air mail service out of Seattle for Juneau and Fairbanks not later than the first of the year, accord- ing to Joe Crosson, PAA General Manager, who arrived in Juneau this morning on the Baranof and hopped for Fairbanks this noon after attending a meeting of the Alaska Aaeronautics and Communi- cations Commission this morning.

Fac- tories building aircraft are far be: hind in their orders and it is nearly impossible to acquire the right kind of ships, he said. The service probably will be in- augurated with flying boats or am- phibians due to the lack of landing fields, but later four-motored stra- toliners will be put on the route, he said. One of these huge ships is now under construction for Pan- American, parent company of PAA, at the Boeing plant in Seattle and probably will be put on the Alaska run if landing fields are provided by that time. There are no fields in the Territory now capable of handling such a large ship, Crosson said. However, he explained, the huge land planes eventually will be seen winging over the route, coming over water to Ketchikan, thence to Ju- neau and on into Fairbanks. year ago, Mr. Friele with four other passenger flew from Nakeen on the Kvichak River over Japanese fish- ing vessels off the mouth of the| Ugashik River. They brought back with them pictures of four Japan- ese boats, the salmon gear was clearly visible and the story they told after their flight verified the rumors about Japanese fishing in Alaska waters. Japanese are this year maintain- ing their temporary agreement that they shall not fish for salmon in Bristol Bay this season, Mr. Freile said. Reports from American fish- ermen that Japanese are in that district have to do with crab fish- |ermen, he said.

Back more than a quarter of a |century ago, Mr. Ogilvie and the |former Governor were young sur- |veyors on the boundary line so | there probably are few if any per- |sons in the two countries who know more about the international bound- ary between Canada and the Unit- ed States. They have traversed most of it from the east coast, across Canada and up the coast to the Arctic. Mr. Riggs first came north as a gold rusher in '97 and went over the famous Chilkoot trail | to the Klondike. In 1909, Mr. Ogilvie came north on survey work and | their “lines” have been running to-| gether more or less ever since, with never a squabble, the former Gover- nor facetiously commented, on whether Mr. Ogilvie was fudging a few inches in favor of Canada or whether Riggs was trying to grab a little soil in favor of Uncle Sam. Mr. Riggs was surprised by the great growth in Juneau since he lived here. “I hardly know the place,” he| id. “All this paving, new build- | ings. It seems to me it was all planking down on the lower Front Street, or do you call it Franklin now, when we were here. We are anxious to get around and see it all.” Mrs. Riggs and young Tommy are planning to join the former Gov- ernor and Miss Riggs here shortly, planning to sail from Seattle aboard the Yukon July 8. GRAND OFFICERS FOR RAINBOW GIRLS DUE IN JUNEAU TUESDAY » Thirty-four members of the Or- der of Rainbow Girls are making the Alaskan tour on board the steamer 'Denali, due to arrive here Tuesday. Fifteen members of the order will disembark at Juneau and exemplify work for the local chap- ter, while the other members of the party will make the round-trip to Skagway. Accompanying the girls will be two members of the Masonic Lodge in Seattle, and a member of the Eastern Star from the States. Entertainment by the Juneau Rainbow Girls’ Chapter has been officers here during the next week, and all girls are requested to be at the boat to greet the visitors. ELEVEN SAIL FOR SKAGWAY ON YUKON The steamer Yukon left here last evening enroute to Sitka and Se- attle via Skagway with the follow- CHINA CONFLICT Proposals of International Nature, Advanced by Puppet Government INVADED NATION MAY BE DIVIDED Meanwhile War Planes Make Another Air Raid on South China City July — Evacuation of all fereigners from Swatow appears likely after a second punishing bombardment by Japanese war planes again today. The air raiders seem to concentrate their chelling on the city's rai way station. The casualty list is though to be small since the bulk of the populace fled to the country aiter yesterday's destructive bombing in" which 400 are reported to have been Kkilled. Foreign Consuls in Swatow are said to be urging their Na- tionals to evacuate the city. The United States and Great Bri- tain are preparing to provide for refugees aboard their gun- boats. PEACE PROPOSALS TO CLOSE CONFLICT LONDON, July 2—International unofficial plans to end the year- old conflict in China are reported and are attributed to the Japanese dominated Peiping Provisional Gov- ernment. The proposals include partition- ing of China into five autonomous governments, parcelling out trade Great Britain and France. Japan would govern North China and Inner Mongolia and East China through puppet state governments. Chiang Kai Shek wil be given Central China with the Capital City at Hankow. Germany would be given profer»" ence of Shantung where she had pre-war power. Great Britain would be given lower Yangtze area and France certain sections of South China. The proposals would give China to nations where each power has concentrated industrial ~ develop- ments in the past. There's a Hitch This plan is not officially con- firmed and does not seem likely as Chiang, it is said, will not con- sider it. Observers see in the pro- posals an indication of a basis on which Japan would like to discuss cessation of hostilities. Meanwhile France took a slap at Japan for suspending importa- tions of the Japanese quota In merchandise covering the first quarter. The motivation of the move is said to be France's fear of security in Indo-China where bomb- ings of nearby Hainan Island have occurred. There is little change noted in the land operations of the forces in China. Japanese bombers again blasted Swatow today and also attacked Hukow, 150 miles downriver from Hankow. Commission Is Planning 3 New Stations ing passengers, all for Lynn Canal ports: July game, and thereafter, charge will be made to everyone not holding a season ticket, to view games played in Firemen’s Park, except children under fifteen years of age, who will be admitted free of charge. The officials explained that the charge is made necessary by the erection of the new stand for the comfort of spectators and other new improvements to the park, which must be made to pay for themselves. Also, heretofore, the Fire Department, through the vol- untary contribution method, has been unable to even meet regular expenses, such as the cost of balls. The officials feel that the charge to be made is not unreasonable and that the reasons for it will be appreciated by the fans. |keen cannery on Kvichak River. | Aside from the curfailment ull loperations by seven canneries ln; Bristol Bay, the pack there should | be normal, Mr. Friele said.

Requests have been made to Washington for more equipment and if this is made available by the Federal agencies the new stations will be started as soon as it arrives, Secretary Sheldon Simmons said. G. E. Goudie, supervising engineer for the Commission, is leaving for the Westward in a few days to complete construction of the sta- tions at Anchorage and Fairbanks and it is expected that if equipment is made available construction of the other three stations will start as soon as that work is finished. Another Fleet in Bering Sea SEATTLE, July 2—Miller Free- man, Chairman of the Joint Com- mittee for Protection of the Pa- cific Coast Fisheries, reports the departure of the Japanese fishing fleet which, he said, has been bp- erating in the Bristol Bay Salmon area Freeman said a message from Capt. J. A. Alger, of the Coast Guard Bering Sea Patrol, disclosed that “all alien fishing vessels, as well as the factory ship which they served, have departed from the Bristol Bay area.” No information as to the destindg tion of the vessels was given Freeman said only one floating cannery, the Totem Maru, is re- ported in Bering Sea this season She is accompanied by a fleet of smaller vessels and apparently is concentrated on fishing and can- ning crabs and cod. Freeman said the news of the Japanese withdrawal was “plain evidence that the committee’s ef- forts disclosed the serious nature of | the problem arising as the result of the encroachment of Oriental operators upon the coast fisheries | has borne fruit, not only in this | country but in Japan as well.” | The departure of the vessels at this time when the season is open- ing, may indicate, Freeman said, that- the Japaneser wish to remove | any suspicion that their fleet is | operating against the salmon run. CLOSING HOURS IN JUNEAU TO REMAIN SAME tions, Refusing Exten- sion in Summer Closing hours on beverage dis- pensaries in Juneau will remain the same as usual as the result of passage by the City Council at its meeting last night of an ordinance taking out the legal defects in the previous regulations. The dispensar- ies will close at 1 a.m. daily and at 2:30 o'clock on Sundays and days preceding holidays. Effort was made by Councilman G.-E. Krause to amend the ordin- ance and permit the places to be open 24 hours during the six months | resources between Germany, Japan,|of summer with music stopping at 1 a.m. He won support from Coun- cilman Oscar Harri but Councilmen John McCormick, Ralph Beistline and Sam Feldon opposed and voted passage of the ordinance as the | regulations now stand. The Council adopted a budget for the city year starting April 1 on a | basis of estimated revenues of $200,- 000, allowing $10,000 for retiring | bonded debt. The expenses during the year ending last April 1 were | $193,277. In the estimated revenues, | the budget figures include: Taxes, | $100,000; licenses, $30,000; cemetery, $1,000; wharf, $15,000; schools, $50,- 000, and miscellaneous, $4,000. On motion of Councilman Mec- Cormick the Council voted to give department heads more leeway in the employing of temporary help. At an executive session recently, the Council ruled that all department heads had to consult the respective Council committees before hiring any one even in an emergency. This has proven to be working a hard- |ship on both the police and fire | departments, it was brought out, and the rule was rescinded where only temporary help is involved. ‘The Council voted to accept long- shoremen insurance coverage from Shattuck Agency, the first time it has had such coverage. Previously, the companies would not write longshore insurance, it was stated. The city will pay premium of $16.15 per $100 of longshore payroll. .- ALEUTIAN ON WAY SEATTLE, July 2. Steamer Aleutian sailed for Alaska ports at 9 o'clock this morning with 346 first class and 90 steerage pas- sengers. Passengers aboard the Aleutian booked for Juneau include Victor | Quist, C. A.
