WASHINGTON, Oct. 28, —An
Inspector for the aeronautics div*
is'ons of the Department of Com
merce was to have sailed for Alas
ka today to examine airplanes and
pilots throughout the Territory.
This will be the first inspection
since early last spring.
It was at the instance of Dele
gate Dimond that the inspector
was authorized to make the trip.
The Delegate called upon the chief
of the inspection service in Wash
ingtoi prevailed upon him to
assg* ember of his staff to
the j£r. Dimond endeavored
to hav Inspector stationed per
manent<_ a Alaska, but was in
formed t it lack of funds would
prevent that at this time. How
ever, he was told that every effort
would bem ade to bring about the
desired result next spring.
w .
A new study is being made of liv
ig costs to determine if the fed
eral pay reductions now in effect
should he abandoned in whole or
in part.
Delegate Dimond is gathering
further arguments to show why a
separate study should be made
with respect to federal employees
in Alaska. Dast spring, it will be
remembered, he urged a separate
study but was informed that there
was no authority in law to make
It. The Delegate is not convin
ced of the soundness of that inter
pretation and once agaih he will J
present a demand for an entirely;
distinct survey in Alaska.
wS?".’
Repeal of the national prohibi
tion act. almost certain to occur
early 5n December, wil not mean
that ai- ,1c beverages other than
3.2 pti Cent beer can be import
ed, lit ' i/’’»,tured or sold in Alas
ka. i'-.xC > any of these things
can hfe /ne, Congress will have
to re£~— the bone dry law. This
was established definitely a short
t'me ago when the Attorney Gen
eral ruled that Alaska, the Dis
trict of Columbia, Hawaii and
Fuerto Rico would remain “dry”
until Congres rules otherwise.

An allotment of SI00,000 has
been made by the Pnbl'c Works
Adininis ration for public works in
and around Indian and Eskimo
villages in Alaska. Wb'le this is
less than had been requested it
will nevertheless make possible
^icconiplishmenlr of a substantial
amount of work. The Office of
Indian Affairs has allocated the
appropriation as to place, charac
ter of work and amounts as fol
lows.

In carrying out this program
Indians and Esk'mos will be em
ployed almost exclusively so that
they may derive the utmost be
fits from the funds expended. Dele
gate Dimond made several appear
ances before the Public Works
Administration board in support of
th's program. He asked for an en
larged program which, if approved
would have carried $315,700.
Acting on the sugestion of the
Delegate, the House Committee on
Rivers and ‘1 ibors ) as passed a
resolution for a review of reports
on the Nome harbor.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. —Tak
ng into consideration the remote
ness of Alaska from continental
United States, a remoteness- that

Public annoucement of tlie plan,
whch will also probably extend
to Hawaii and Puerto Kico, has
not been made in Washington but
there is slight liklihood that It
will not go throu-gh as now con
ceived.
The plan has the unqualified ap
proval of Governor Troy and Dele
gate Dimond; , They believe it has
the best features of all the var
ious proposals suggested to take
care of the Territory. As a mat
ter of fact. Delegate Dimond has
been consulted frequently in the
evolving of the plan and several
of his suggestions Have been In
corporated in . it.
Obviously the national codes
could not be applied without al
teration to Alaska without risk
ing violent disturbances in every
walk of life. Thee minimum wage
rates would in the vast majority
of cases not provided even bart*,
subsistence for Alaska workmen.
On the other hand, other provi
sions of the code would bear down
heavily upon those classified as
employers. ^
Under this special plan tlie var
ious interested groups in Alaska
will have full oportuni y to pres
ent amendments . to the national
codes.
A recovery board, probably coni- I
posed of three members, will be
set up. It will hold hearings
which are expected to bring out
all pert'nent facts. This is one
phase which appeals particularly ,
to the Delegate, and he believes it
will have similar appeal general
ly throughout the Territory, for
1h“ reason that Alaskans can make
their wants known d'rectly to a '
board which will understand local
problems. Few could afford the
expense involved in making .a trip
-o Washington for a hearing affect
leg their particular industry, and
'fortunately the National Recovery
Administration recognizes that fact
The hoard is to be headed by a
deputy administrator, He has not ,
j yet been selected, but it, is defin- j
itely known that he will he a man j

TbiR point is insisted upon for the |
reason that the deputy adminis

After hearing requests for code
amendments, the board will make

This, of course, is merely a i
rough outline of the plan. De
a'ls have not been worked out.
When they are, full particulars
,vill be sent to Alaska.
In the meantime, it may be said
mthoritively that compliance with
he President’s re-employment ag
reement on1 the part of Alaskans
will he entirely a voluntary mat
er. First and foremost, the Nat
onal Recovery Act is designed to j
mild up, not tear down, and NRA ;
officials here are fully aware that ,
he re-employment agreement may
not be applicable in all its phases !
to the Territory.
If some interests have their way, I
ii processing lax would be placed
on all fish and fish products for I
the benefit of hog producers.
Alarmed by the threats which
ihis processing tax implies to the
i mire fisliinq industry owners and
fishermen have launched a bar
rage of protests and to their voic
es has been added that of Dele
gate Diinoml. He sees in the pro
posed program a distinct peril to
tile operations of the Territorial
government and the possib'lity of
crippling what is Alaska’s most
important industry. - ’
Hog ..producers, it seems, have
fared badly during 1 these depres
s'on years and their woes hav*
been added to the fact that a large
surplus hangs over the market
that, doesn’t exist. The theory
that lies back of the processing
tax is that if other commodities
are taxed money will thus be sec
ured wh'ch can be paid to the
raisers of porkers for holding
down production. The commodit
les to which the tax is applied w.'ll
have to add it to their selling
price and pork/ tax free, will thus
be more in demand. In passing,
it may be said that only those en
gaged in raising hogs appear to
have given the plan their whole
hearted support.
