"It should be realized without the

Italy will be met with the armed

AMBASSADOR SOVIET
RUSSIA PROTESTS THE
ACTION COMMUNISTS
Bullitt Issues Blunt Warning To Soviets If
They Don't Live Up To Their Pledges
(Bv The Associated Press')
MOSCOW, Aug. 26, —America’s Ambassador to Russia,
William C. Bullitt, Sunday delivered on behalf of the Unit
ed States government “an emphatic protest” against the act
ivities of the Congress of Communist Internationale which
recently closed.
His blunt note to Vice Commissar Krestinsky, in acting
charge of Foreign Affairs, said that these activities involv
ed interference in the internal affairs of the United States,
and called them “flagrant violations” of the pledge made by
Soviet Russia at the time she was recognized by America.
The American Government, Bullitt warned, “anticipat
ed the most serious consequences” if the U. S. S. R. is un
willing or unable to take appropriate measures to prevent
further acts “in disregard of its pledge to prohibit activities
in United States territory aimed at changing the political
or social order of the U. S.”
The note deemed it unnecessary to cite specified state
ments by delegates to the Congress at which some speakers
indicated that the eventual aim of the communist party in
the United States, was an established Soviet government.
Warning Is Seen By Politieal Observers
n j
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26, — A blunt warning that Am
erican recognition of Russia would be withdrawn unless the
Soviet government acts promptly on communist agitation
here, was read by observers, in the note delivered in Moscow
by Ambassador Bullitt.
Even those who had kept close touch with the develop
ing situation were surprised at the stern tone in the com
munication, and what they considered an outright threat,
disguised but thinly in diplomatic verbiage.
Soviet Radio Head
Given Reprimand
For Bad Program
(By The Associated Press)
MOSCOW, Aug. 26, — Platon Ker
shenitzev, head of all educational
broadcasting in the Soviet Union, has
received a reprimand from the com
munist party for a humorous skit
recently given over the Moscow ra
dio by one of his artists. To the
Capitalistic listener the broadcast
might have seemed just clean fun,
but the communists labeled it with
the blackest of labels—counter-re
volution.
A woman artist, taking the dual
role of a child and its mother, pok
ed fun in her dialogue at the use
made of children here by their par
ents to obtain preferential treat
ment on tramways and in bread lin
es. Adults with children may enter
either door of a tramway, whereas
the general public may use only the
rear door.
"Son”, the mother says ”dont you
want to take a nice tramway ride?”
He replies in tears: "No; I’m tired
of riding tramways. I’ve ridden a
dozen times today—-with grandpa,
with auntie—apd I don't want to
stand in bread lines either.”
The artist concluded with a funny
remark to the effect that everyone
should have children because they
are so useful.
When the editors of Pravda, pow
erful mouthpiece of the communist
party heard of this they were sur
prised and pained.
Couniter-revolution they muttered.
Other things were said about polit
ically irresponsible people who were
running the nation’s radio.
Then heads began to fall. Ker
shentzev wrote an abject apology,
lamenting the political blindness
which had permitted such a diabolic
al bit of counter-revolution to offend
the ears of Soviet listeners. He pro
mised a thorough cleanup in his ra
dio staff'. But this did not save him
from a rebuke by the party.
However, recent letters in the
British press "kidding” the com
munists for allowing a phonograph
record of a religious hymn "Steal
Away to Jesus” to be presented ov
er the Moscow radio and intimating
that perhaps the station managers
did not know what they were play
ing, has aroused only amusement
' here.

OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND
Delegate from Alaska
" ■ 1 ■
(By J. J. ECKLES)
Aug. 10, 1935
Legislation to provide for vaca
tions for government employees and
to standarize sick leave for civilian
employees was introduced in the
House June 12th, by Robert Ram
speck. Chairman of the House Com
mittee on the Civil Service.
The proposed legislation is sepa
rated in two bill; H R 8428 to pro
vide for vacations and H R 8459 to
standarize sick leave. The bill first
mentioned would entitle all per
manent employees, with the excep
tion of teachers and librarians of
public schools of the District of Col
umbia to receive thirty days annual
leave each calendar year exclusive of
Sundays and holidays, and any un
used leave would be accumulated
until it totals not to exceed one hun
dred and twenty days. This would
put employees back on the same bas
is for leave of absence that most of
the Departments recognized prior to
the reduction of leave established by
the Economy Act. H R 8459, to stan
darize sick leave would provide cu
mulative sick leave with pay at the
rate of one and onefourth days for
each month not to exceed, however
one hundred and twenty days. Ad
ministrative officers may advance
thirty days sick leave with pay be
yond accrued sick leave in cases of
serious disability or ailments and
when require^ by the exigencies of
the situation. Both of these bills
passed the House, August 8th, after
action on them had been delayed
in one way and another for some
days.
This proposed legislation is of par
ticular interest to the Federal em
ployee in Alaska in that both bills
have a section in them providing
that ‘Nothing in this Act shall be
construed to prevent the continuan
ce of any existing leave differential
now obtaining for the benefit of em
ployees of the Federal Government
stationed outside continental limits
of the United States.” Another point
that the Alaska employee will ap
preciate is the definite accumulation
of leave for four months, for under
a non-accumulative system it has
hardly been possible for an employee
in some parts of Alaska to take a
vacation in the time allowed.
Authorizing the city of Anchorage
to issue bonds in the amount of
$75,000 for the construction of a mu
nicipal building and the purchase of
a modern telephone exchange, the
bill introduced by Delegate Dimond
was approved by the President,
August 3rd.

("By The Associated Press’)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20, —Probable court tests on
four major pieces of legislation, blocked Labor from claim
ing more than potential victories this session.
American Federation of Labor chieftains are pleased
with the congressional approval of the Wagner Labor Dis
putes Act, the Rail Pension Bill, the Guffey Coal Bill and
Social Security legislation.
It was conceded however that battles for these measur
es had not been won until the Supreme Court of the United
States gave them an O K. President Green of the A. F. of L.
predicted that the Wagner Act will be in court before snow
fall, as industry is maintaining generally, that the Act is un
constitutional.
Railroad leaders likewise expect a court test on the re
vamped pension bill soon. A number of soft coal producers
said that-Roosevelt’s signature on the Guffey Bill would not
be dry before they had the measure in court.
A test on the Social Security Act was not mentioned, but
government officials expect that one will be made.

The Nome City Council meets in
session tonight at the office of City
Attorney Leroy M. Sullivan, to take

It was reported last week that a
move to institute municipal control

It was not definitely ascertained as
to whether it would come up to- ]

be discussed, at any rate.
This subject has been broached to f
city officials more than once during

ed they are of the opinion that some
measure of municipal regulation
should be carried out in Nome. (
