The interest in Washington must be intense tc The plan, worked out in minute and careful detail was submitted to an unsuspecting Congress yeste 3 ay Under the recently enacted reorganization bill Con- gress has 60 days in which to think it over. If it is disapproved by both houses within that time it is lost; if Congress approves it or takes no action at all it goes into effect late in June. Undoubtedly much pressure for defeat of the re- organization proposal will be brought to bear. It will disturb the status quo of innumerable Washington job holders. According the President's estimate the change would save from 15 to 20 million dollars an- nually. This saving will come largely out of dispensing with the services of supernumeraries on the Federal payroll. Nothing righteous indignation and condemnation of a piece of legislation as the prospect of having a few political friends tossed out in the cold.

The old Monument measured 1,820 square miles; | the new takes in 3,850 square miles of Southeast Alaska Mmountain, shore and bay. The additions are on the west, where the new boundary goes to the ocean, tak- ing in the whole Pacific slope from Cape Fairweather to Cross Sound; on the south, bringing the boundary down to Icy Straits; and on the east, taking in the entire western slope of the peninsula which separates Lynn Canal and Glacier Bay. The Monument was brought 30 miles closer to Juneau by yesterday’s action. Glacier Bay tourist attraction of Southeast Alaska, has been largely neglected since it was made a National Monu- ment. : Time was when the old steamship Queen went Into Glacier Bay as part of its regular Alaska route. A tidal wave destroyed the steamship compan; Jboardwalk in Queen Inlet and since that time Glacier Bay has been left pretty much alone ‘When Cook made his voyage of discovery, glaciers of Glacier Bay came all the way down to Icy Straits. They have receded rapidly, leaving bare earth which B. D. Stewart, who has mapped both areas, says is more desolate than Death Valley. Not ® tree, shrub or blade of grass grows on the denuded land. No animals live in the and even the birds seem to avoid Glacier Bay. An absolute silence prevails there, disturbed only by wind or wave Because of the unusual cha: r of the region, the area W. 5.
