('ALLS FOR
RUSSIAN MKMOK.ANU.A
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7, (yP)_ —
Deapite the opposition of the Am
erican Legion, President Roose
velt has called for a complete
memoranda on the question of
Russian recognition. In high ad
ministration circles it is said that
the chances are fifty-fifty for re
cogntion. It will be taken- up
shortly for disposition It is in
dicated, however, that while the
decision lay with the President,
■it is not likely that quick and un
conditional recognition will be
ganted* which has been strongly
urged. On the other hand, it
appeared probable that final action
will be reached through negotia
tions, covering a number of
joints of difference which requir-.
e^.time to adjust. The Russians
desire recognition of credits which
will enable het* to make purchases
of goods needed. The United
States desires .to recognize Russia ■
and "to open te way for full and
profitable commercial relations.

Jackie. Cooper, 'the phenomenal
towheaded boy who teamed So eff

Robert Coogan in the first Percy

“Skippy.’’ co-stars again with Coo
ICSii in a new Shantytown adven
ture for the Crosby successor,
“Sooky,” which opens aft the Dream
Theatre. Friday, October 13.
In addition to Cooper as “S^ip”
and Coogan as "Sooky,” five other
members of t,he “Skippy cast
carry in on roles which they creat
ed. They are Jackie Searl as
•fSidney,” Willard Robertson as
Dr. Skinner,” Bnid Bennett as
"Mrs Skinner,” Helen Jerome
Biddy as "Mrs. Wayne,” and Guy
Oliver as "Mr. Moggs”
The story centers chiefly in the
efforts of Skippy and Sooky to
build their own cadet corps after
they have decided the Boone Boys
in the fashionable neighborhood,
are too snooty and need a ribbing.
Their ruses, tricka. frolics and
good turns, with and at the ex

and little pets and trinkets, con
stitute a luscious slice of typical
boyhood.

To those engaged.Ur the Alaska
gold industry and to all others de
pendent upon that industry, the
"New Deal’’ this week had a con
crete meaning.
By a stroke of his pen Presi
dent Roosevelt increased the value
of their product approximately
one-third when he signed an ex
ecutive order permitting the ex
port of newly mined gold and as
suring fior it the prevailing world I
price, which 'is now about $29 an
ounce. Formerly the American
gold miner lias received a fixed
price of $20,157.
Delegate Dlmond has been
among those who all summer
have been urging the issuance of
such an order. He has bee^ in
telegraphic communication with
various miners, banks and others
upon the subject. Some' ef-those
to whom information was recent
ly given are the Miners ft Mer
chants’ Bank of Nome, the Miners
ft Merohants Banks of Iditarod.
