J. ECKLES Secretary to Delegate Dimond WASHINGTON (Special Cor- respondence) —Authority to put a vessel of the Office of Indian Affair on theé route from Seward to Kodiak Island and points westward as far as Unalaska and Umnak Island and north and eastward into Bristol Bay, was requested of the subcommitiee of the House Committee on Appro- priations making up the Interio Department appropriations bill by Delegate Dimond on February 15. The Delegate explained to the committee that scheduled commer- cial transportation for both pas- sengers and freight has been en- tirely lacking since July of 1938 for this large region formerly served by the steamship Starr, and pointed out the consequent hardship that has resulted for the residents, both white and natives, that live there. He told the committee that he had endeavored last year to have ar- rangements m ade. whereby the North Star, a vessel operated in Alaska by the Office of Indian Af- fairs, could be put on the route and provide a commercial service to meet the problem, but that the law re- quired that any receipts or revenues covered into the Treasury and could not be used in offsetting the cost portation needed commercially. To provide authority to meet the | need for this service, the Delegate proposed the insertion of the follow- ing amendment in the bill by the committee: “Provided further any revenue derived from the opera- tion of Indian Service vessels shall be credited to the current appro- priation from which the expenses of operations are paid. The matter has already been tak- en up by Mr. Dimond from two cther pomts of attack. Early in the session, he introdueced a bill to authorize the Postmaster General to call for bids for carrying the mail on this route, specifying that ships to be used in the service should be of sufficient size and seaworthiness to provide passenger and freight transportation. The other line of ap- proach from which the Delegate is working is to have a Government vessel assigned through the co-| operation of the Maritime Commis- sion, the Coast Glard, the Navy De- | partment, and the Post Office De- | partment, to provide mail service! and other necessary transportation | to the westward region. | MRS.

John W, Troy today returned without his approval House bill No. ! 66, the only veto of the 14th session The bill would have appropriated $5,000 to pay bank examiners.

In- asmuch as the bill for taxing banks failed of passage this would leave the banks without any taxation and it would amount to a gift of $5,000 per biennium out of the Territorial Treasury for defraying the expen=| ses of bank examiners and would be a direct contribution to the banks of Alaska.” | LR it St. Patrick's Tea Will Be Sponsored By Trinity Guild Next Friday afternoon between Committee meetings are to be held | next Monday at Trinity Hall to com- plete plans for the event.

Based on a story by George Bruce, author of “Navy Blue and Gold” the picture reveals behind-the-scene activities of the boxing game, with TFaylor as a pawn in the shady man- ipulations of a gambling syndicate. “The Crowd Roars” offers Taylor in the hardest-hitting role of his career as Tommy McCoy, the boy from the wrong side of the tracks; who fights his way up from slums to a chance at the lightheavy- weight championship. Three smashing bouts in the eol- orful setting of Madison Square Garden climax the eventful career of the young fighter, who finds & battle with racketeers more serious | than his challenge for the title. ‘The screen play of “The Crowd | Roars” is the work of Thomas Len- non, George Bruce and George ©Op-, enheimer. The picture was directed | by Richard Thorpe. e, — | Grand lgloo | Of Pioneers | At Fairbanks | Thompson Makes Decision | ‘as to Place-Date An- | nounced Later !
