program is only a start toward pro
viding an assured and permanent
source of income to great numbers
of our people who fall within the
class called sub-standard groups.
It is a strange commentary on
human nature that a magnificent
governmental effort of this kind
should be subjected to attacks from
rapacious groups, whose greed for
gain and lu^t for power has contri
buted largely to the present econom
ic distress.
The Investigators
This article would hardly be com
plete if I neglected to mention the
numerous investigators, or as the
late lamented world figure Will Rog
ers terms them “Committees.” He
stated in Anchorage tha^ his reason
for visiting the Colony was to find
out whether or not the government

had run out of them.
Quite a few investigators have
passed in review before us the past
several months. What was accom
plished by the attendant fan-fare of
trumpets and the back-wash left in
their wake is a matter of conjecture.
Several have become temporarily •
attached to this Project, and after a
period of orientation are contribut
ing a full share to the ultimate suc
ess of the first year program.
Washington, D. C. has contributed
several familiar with Rehabilitation
operations in the States, who are as
sisting with their advice and guid
ance. But, always in the background
looms the solid figure of Don L. Ir
win, working quietly and unobtru
sively instilling into these people
transplanted to a strange land, far
from friend and homeland, that neb
ulous quality that springs from the
spirit and furnishes the motive pow
er that wills to do and accomplish
great things.
No finer selection for Director of
Colonization in Alaska could have
been made than Don L. Irwin. A
man of long farming experience, a
graduate of Kansas Agricultural
College, a former Director of Mata
nuska Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion, he brings to the task besides
his experience, a genial disposition,
a broad tolerance; infinite patience
and understanding in his human re
lationships, and a large capacity for
hard work. The people of the Ter
ritory should feel that this Project
as well as future undertakings of
this kind, are safe in his hands.

Scenario Writer
Killed By Bullet
In Back Of Head
(By The Associated Press)
HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 7, —A weird
death mystery, in which the body ]
of Carl Erickson 27 year old film col
ony writer was found beneath a
lone eucalyptus tree, a bullet hole
through the back of his head, con
fronted police tonight.
Police at first believed Erickson,
who wrote scenarios for the motion
pictures, Silver Dollars, and Black
Fury had shot himself in a fit of
despondency. His own gun, a heavy
caibre Luger automatic, lay beside
the body. But Dr. John K Scharaff
er County autopsy surgeon, after |
examining the wound said it would
be extremely difficult for a man to
handle a heavy pistol so as to shoot ,
himself in the manner Erickson was |
shot, through the back of the head.
