Gillette, of Towa, today urged the State Depart- | ment to approve at once the pro- posed Senatorial investigation of the activities of the Japanese diplo-| mats and other representatives in the United States. Senator Gillette announced that he has arranged for an interview with Secretary of State Cordell Hull re- rarding the attitude of the State Department on the resolution that he and Senator Hiram Johnson, of California, offered this week calling for an inquiry into reports that agents of the Axis powers are or- ganizing non-quota aliens, also “dual citizens” into groups hostile to this nation. Chhe WASHINGTON—A good barom-' eter of the Duke and Wallie's standing at the British Embassy | was the fact that newsreel men' were ordered to take mo pictures of the Duchess either in the embassy, or with any part of the building showing in the background. And it took the Duke himself to countermand the order. As the; newsreel men were setting up their| apparatus far back on the lawn, he brushed aside a young embassy dip- Jomat who was handling arrange-| ments and declared: | “Il take care of this myself. I'm| an old hand at newsreels, I've been | in them so often.” i He then informed the cameramen that they could take a shot of him- self the Dutchess walking out| of the embassy into the yard. The voung diplomat backed off in con- fusion. ' ¢ Despite the awkwardness of the/ situation, the Duke put on a cheer-| ful front, chatting freely with the, photographers between retakes. Once he said: “I don't think I've| got on the right kind of tie. 1| know you fellows like to focus on a tie and this onme isn't bright | enough.” | He wore a consepvative two-tone| blue cravat, with diagonal stripes. As the newsreel men were wind- | ing up their work, the young diplo-| mat tried to square by suggesting that the Duchess have something to say for the sound tracks. But the Duke gave him another brush-off. “I'm going to do all the talking,” | he said- crisply. DELAYS TO RUSSIA There were two inside reasons for the slowness of the U. 8. mlss!onl to Moscow in sitting down at the conference' table with Joe Stalin.| One was the technical difficulty of | the flight across Germany. The other was China. The flight from London to Mos- cow is not the easiest thing in the!

The boys are feeling fine but there are 'some things they need, I learned. Fov instance, the boys from Ketchikan, backed up 100 percent from the ! First City with a $1,000 company | ¢ fund, have footballs, boxing gloves, punching bags and what not. The Juneau boys, I believe have a measly $35 company fund, fight now, or they did two days ago and no athletic equipment, They ce.- tainly will be jubilant at the Em- pire’s Enterprise Fund and I hope Juneau goes over big in this. “Of course you will be interest- led in two former members of the Empire staff and George Willey, I was told, has charge of all recrea- tion and education, including box- . |ing, basketball and other sports. Evan .Hill (by the way, both of | the lads are Lieutenants), is man- ager of the War Department thea- tre, as a side duty. Christy is in charge of the officers’ mess and the: officers. are getting plenty. Benedict is range officer in charge jof all shooting and—too many let it go at that. The boys of Ket- !chikan and Juneau are kept busy {but I believe the force is waiting for more men before much in reg- ular training and maneuvers can ‘be undertaken. None of the boys are complaining as the majority were inducted with their eyesopen. The regular army boys at Chil- koot, the Juneau lads told me, are a fine lot, but don’t forget the Ju- neau recreation and company fund. Also, don’t forget, the boys want newsy letters from home, so write them often.” el e .
