For Air Base
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 3—
Preparing to forge another link
in the chain of protective air
bases, the War Department nam
ed a three man board to select a
suitable air base site near Fair
banks. The base was authorized
but not financially provided for
by Congress in its 1935 session,
when it passed the Wilcox Air
Base Bill offering the United
; States flying corps the extreme
northern aviation supply depot.
Among the first to express
satisfaction of the«.Board appoint
ment was Delegate Anthony J.
Dimond, who said he was “con
fident that it will be shown that
Alaska is as important as Ha
waii in the national defense
scheme,” the War Department
long has considered the feasibili
ty of establishing an aviation
base in the nation’s northernmost
territory. Althou the high com
mand didn’t openly acknowledge
it, it was generally understood
that the mass flight of the heavi
ly laden bombers to Fairbanks via
Edmonton a few years ago, was
made chiefly to study flight con
ditions in the North with the
view of establishing a base at or
near Fairbanks. There were ac
cidents, delays, and difficulties,
enroute, but in official circles it
was said the flight showed the
advisability of establishing an
Alaskan base.

Cardinals Jump
Into First Place
National League
(By The Associated Press)
NEW YORK, July 1—St. Louis’
rough and ready Cardinals,drove
back into the National League
lead today by nosing out the
Pittsburgh Pirates twice in two
of the hardest played games of
the season. The Cardinals althou
out hit in both ends of the twin
bill, scraped out a one run mar
gin over the pirates twice to
break the deadlock with the idle
Chicago Cubs for first place and
take the lead by a full game.The
scores were 2 to 1 and 4 to 3.
Mickey Haslins fourth single of
the day, gave the Boston Reds a
T to 6 victory over the Giants.
In another change in the lea
gue standings the Giants fell
back into fifth place one percen
tage point behind the idle Cincin
nati Reds.
In the American League it be
gan to look as though the Yan
kees were going to make a runa
way of the pennant race. They
licked the Red Sox twice to in
crease their league leadership to
nine and a half games and lesson
the Soxs second place margin to
a meagre game over the Tigers
and the Cleveland Indians, who
are tied for third. They were the
only games played in the junior
circuit, all other contests called
off beause of cold and wet parks.

Governor Troy
Enroute Back
To Territory
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, D.C., July 3—
Governor John W. Troy on leav
ing the White House for Alaska,
said that Alaskans were afraid
that their section will be the
theater of the next war. Asked
with whom the war might be,
he smiled and said “possibly with
Siam."
Troy was accompanied on his
White House call by Delegate
Dimond and Robert W. Bender,
editor and manager of the Jun
eau Empire.
The Governor held several con
ferences with War and Navy offi
cials about the defenses of the
territory. Delegate Dimond said
that the regulations requiring post
masters to return to the Treasury
all bonus bonds that could not
be delivered within 30 days, had
been modified for the benefit of
Alaska veterans who were un
able to be at their postoffice ad
dresses within that period, said
the Department officials agreed
to order all Alaska postmasters
to allow Alaskan vets working
on fishing banks or in distant
mining camps, ninety days.

Digging Into
Past Life Of
Robert James
(By The Associated Press)
LOS ANGELES, July 2—The
State last night ploughed through
the graveyard of Robert James’
forgotten past, to dig up evidence
which they say will prove him
1 a cold blooded murderer, "the
Bluebeard Barber,’’ murdering
not only his seventh wife, but
also his third, to collect her in
, surance.
Robert S. James’ battery of law
yers, marshalled every legal gun
[to keep the case off this ground.
The prosecutors began to project
into the record testimony con
cerning the death of yellow hair
ed Winona Wallace James, the
barber’s third wife, found drown
ed in a bath tub at Manitou,
Colorado, in 1932.
Strangely the circumstances of
that case almost paralleled the
discovery of the last Mrs. James,
found in a fish pond last August
5th. Both wives were heavily
insured in James’ favor. The red
haired barber is charged with
murdering his final wife after
subjecting her to the torturing
fangs of live rattlesnakes.

5.5 pounds and very much alive.
He said the success of the opera
