NAYY ALLIGATOR RETURNS T0 JAPAN Now in Hawaii Bat Will Rejoin Nippon Sca Fleet Hilo, Hawall, T. H., Jan. 37— (UP)~—"Mama San.” who i3 a five foot alligater, will sall from Hile for Japan upon the first avallable freighter golng that way, “Mama San” will rejoin the Japaness navy. “Mama San" eacaped from the cruiser Iwate early tn De- oember when the ship of war was anchored ta Hile harbor during the visit of the Japanese naval training squadron under command of Rear Admiral O. Nagano. Jupanese eallors and local police spent twe days searching for ‘Ma- ma San” but the sedrch was fruit- less and the Japaness training squedron salled for Yokohama witheut its prise alligater. And for a meath ‘Mams San" enjoyed the distinction of being the only alliga- tor ever known to be at large in Hawallap waters. She was captured lage in Decem- ber st Hoasuapo on the Kau coast, 100 miles southwest of Hilo. “Mama San” Bad to make a long swim to gein ber temporary freedom and for the meath she was at large few peo- ple ea this tsland went bathing for fear of the snapping jaws of the escaped reptile. “Mama San” now is kept In o strong box at Dr. Yoshimura's hos- pital here pending arrival of o freighter bound for Japan aboard which the will travel as guest of honor. Prior to his de. parture Rear Admirel Nagano of- fered $380 for recapture of the coy “Mama San.” But now that Ad- mirval Nageno is back in Japan there is some doubt as to whether the re- wapd for the slligator's capture will be patd. “Mama San" appears to be great- 1y humillated since she was caught in & Jobster net. WANT BOSTON FEDERATED INTO METROPOLITAN AREA Professor W. B. Munro of Harvard "Urges 40 Towns Join As One Unit. Boston, Jan. 27.—(UP)—Federa- tion of 40 cities and towns in the Boston metropolitan area, without the abolition of lgeal governments, wag advocated by fessor Willlam B. Munro of Harvard in an address to Massachusetts real estate men last night. Mayor Malcolm ¥E. Nichols also advocated some type of unification as the solution of the “Greater Bos- ton" problem. “The metropolitan area of Boston is an economic, although not politi- cal, unit st the present time,"” sald, “Since it appears impossible to expect annexation of this area to Boston, the federation idea, like they have in London, is perhaps the way out. Munro | “In this system, each city and town would retain its own local gov- ernment, but would trun over things of general importance to a central metropolitan council. This council would handle such things as the ‘water supply, park system, possibly fire and police protection and city planning. “The advantages of the system would be shown in such projects as terminal planning and construction, in the borrowing power, in the rise of real estate values in the outlying sections, in the planning of through highways, in the lessening of over- head and in the increase of adver- tising value.”” REED PLANSTO . MAKE Blu FIGHT Senator From Missowri Wi Launch Presidential Campaign tor James A. Reed of Missouri is out to make a real fight for the demo< cratic prestdential nomination. He will not pursue a passive course in hopes ‘that Governor Al Smith's strength might eventually pass in part to BMm should Smith fail. Reed will fight for himself, it was dfsclosed today after his na- tional headquarters had been for- mally opened. Arrangements already have been made for several southern states to favorite sons and he is going into One engagement already has been made for him at Raleigh, S. C. Reed's friends think he has a good chance. They are not so sure that | Smith will go into a convention fight, They say they think he mny retire if the situation does not I inviting in June. Reed, they bc~ to the Smitl dominance in the party. Reed’s campaign will be conduct- ed on old-fashioned Jacksonian prin- ciples. His slogan will be: “Throw the rascals out.” Andrew Jackson used. While he is classed as a wet, prohibition will not be stressed as an issue and enforce- ment will be promised without de- mur., §: Reeq has been holding off for fear |that ‘he might arousc some of Smith’s supporters. Now his friends say he will go into every state primary where no favorite sons are entered. He has said nothing him- ‘aelt on whether he will be a candi- {date but opening of the headquar- ters here was arranged with his con- ®sent, and party leaders generally have been expecting his candidacy.
