REQUESTS LARGE SUM FOR JAPANESE NAVY
U. S. Army Amphibian Arrives From Bolling Field
ASK HUGE SUM JAPAN
NAVY WITH COUNTRY
CLEARS DECKS ACTION
(By The Associated Press)
TOKYO, July 11, — The Japanese navy is preparing to
demand in its next budget appropriations, seven hundred
and twelve million yen, or about one hundred and seventy
eight million, four hundred and eighty thousand dollars,
which amount is thirty-five percent above the current year’s
live hundred and thirty million yen appropriation for nav
al construction—the largest in the nation’s history.
This figure was set by the navy’s budget commission
today on the assumption that when the next fiscal year be
gins April 1st, 1936, it will extend into the new year in
which world sea powers will have abandoned the naval lim
itations treaties with the consequent prospects of a naval
race.
Hitherto the cabinet has always drastically pared down
the naval demands, but high naval officers indicated they in
tended to defend bitterly, their estimates in view of the im
minent lapse of the Washington London Naval Limitations
Treaties.
The estimates do not provide for a new construction
program but contemplate a rapid completion of the present
programs, designed to give the Japanese Navy all the ton
nage that is permitted under the naval treaties—with funds
for vessels in all categories except capital ships, by the end
of 1936. Thus Japan’s decks will be cleared for action if a
naval race is started.

UNDATED, July 11, —Four Euro
pean nations where war munitions
are manufactured and are for sale
abroad, are reported to be holding
up or flatly refusing to ship arms
to Ethiopia, which fears an invasion
by Italy.
The nations mentioned are Eng
land, France Czechoslakia, and Den
mark.
Mussolini in Rome told one hun
dred and twenty high officers of the
Fascist militia, previous to their de
parture for East Africa, that he was
determined on a “complete solu
tion” of the conflict with Ethiopia.
At Geneva, League of Nations
sources said that a special session
of the council would probably be
called within three weeks, on Eth
iopia's request for an attempt at a
solution.
In London Sir Samuel Hoare,
foreign secretary, told the House of
Commons that he didn't feel that
Italy’s need for expansion and com
plaints against Ethiopia were suffi
cient cause for war.

NEW YORK, July 11, ■—Angry
because she had to take off in a

twenty-five hundred feet on a thirty

The women’s record of 17 hours,
7 minutes and 30 seconds is now held
by Amelia Earhart.

, WASHINGTON, July 11, — Talk
of battleship building in the United
States and the greatly increased
sums for the Japanese navy, served
as a reminder of the situation con
fronting the world’s sea power, that
in less than eighteen months from
now, the London Washington Naval
Limitations Treaties will expire,
and unless a new agreement is
reached—the sky will be the limit!
Japanese admirals are seeking the
largest naval appropriations in the
history of Japan—about one hundred
and seventy-eight million dollars for
the fiscal year beginning April 1,
1936—or thirty-five percent more
than for .this year.
Secretary of the Navy of the Un
ited States disclaimed any idea of
starting competition, when he an
nounced the construction of twelve
destroyers and six submarines for
this year.

■Captain McClelland, piloting a
Douglas bi-motored amphibian, U.
; S. Army plane, with Sergeants
Krause and Tomanson, arrived at
Nome about 3:30 P. M., this after
noon direct from Fairbanks. En
route, the Army plane passed high
above a commercial plane bound
in the opposite direction, presum—
j ably the Northern Air Transport
plane enroute to Ruby to contact an
i other ship.
Was Supply <>llicer For Bombers
Captain McClelland was supply of
ficer for the fleet of U. S. Army
bombing planes which flew to Alas
ka last summer from the states. He
flew to Fairbanks this year from
Bolling Field, Washington, D. C., to
look into matters of supplies, spare
parts and other affairs pertaining
to the flight last summer of the
bombers which did considerable
photographic work in the Fairbanks
section. Sergeant Krause was a mem
her of the crew of one of the two
planes piloted by Captain Ross G.
Hoyt and Lieut. Snavely who flew to
Nome last summer in connection
with the bombers.
The squadron last year was to
have photographed a strip from
Fairbanks to Nome, but due to ov
ercast conditions the planes did not
come here.
The plane piloted by Captain Mc
Clelland landed on the 4300 foot new
Nome field this afternoon and will
probably remain here for a day or
so.
May Fly To I’t. Barrow
It was stated that it was the inten
tion to fly to Point Barrow by way
of Kotzebue providing the weather
is favorable. The plane flew to Nome 1
from Fairbanks and will continue
north on merely a general observa
tion flight.
Providing gasoline supplies at Bai
row are sufficient and the weath
er is favorable, the plane may re
turn by way of Wiseman. However,
it is believed it will probably fly
back down the coast to Nome and
thence to Fairbanks.
Capt. McClelland left Washington
D. C about June 12Jh, spending some
time at Dayton, Ohio, and then fly

MILL OPERATORS ARE
NEAR TO SUCCEEDING
BREAKING OF STRIKE
(By The Associated Press')
SEATTLE, July 11, —An announcement of a “much
more cheerful outlook" came from fifty prominent Wash
ington and Oregon lumber manufacturers and logging op
erators, following a conference at Aberdeen, as the lumber
strike is apparently drawing near to its end. after having
tied up the huge industry for ten weeks.
Everett is the only major Washington lumber city where
operations of some kind have not been resumed. The situa
tion is still tense there. The mills at Anacortes are also
quiet.
A strike agreement proposal offered by Everett opera
tors to the sawmill union was withdrawn, and this, a lead
ing operator said, apparently blights all possibility of any
immediate agreement.
The Seattle delegates to the Aberdeen conference listed
a six point plan to serve as a basis for the re-employment
of strikers. The terms included a fifty cent minimum basic
wage for common labor, and a forty hour w-eek.
A “No Discrimination Clause” was modified by the re
tention by the operators of the right to refuse work to
those who were guilty of “assault, violence, threats or in
timidation.”
Alaska Hunting
Gives Veteran A
Wonderful Time
KODIAK BEARS TAKE LEAD
OVER STATES, CANADIAN
WILD GAME CHASE
.When J. Bruce Allen isn't hunting
moose and wild cats in Alberta,
mountain lions in New Mexico, griz
zlies in Montana, or Kodiak bears
in Alaska he is back in Chicago
prasiding for the Merchants Matrix
Cut Syndicate, a printing establish
ment that issues colored pages for
comics, magazine sections and fills
contracts for the big national mail
order houses, says a recent issue of
the Seward Gateway.
Second Visit
The company makes a specialty of
“Apple Mary” and “Dan Dunn”
comics, while many other editions
of the comics, advertising and art
work roll olf the busy varicolored
presses.
Mr. Allen, who on this trip is ac
companied by his wife is making his
second visit to Alaska. Six years
ago he and his family took in the
Skagway district. While this is his
first time in this secton of the ter
ritory, it is one that will be remem
bered for a long time, longer than
any of the others that have embrac
ed his wide-flung itineraries.
Two Kodiaks
Downing Kodiak bears was a new
experience for the busy sportsman,
and the fact that he downed two
ef them made the experience doubly
shrilling. They were huge beasts
i
the larger measuring 11 feet and
three inches, being considered by
oldtime residents of Kodiak as a re
cord breaker.
The second bear was far from
being a miniature, 10 feet, four in
ches being his measurements.
In company with friends from
Denver, Chicago and mid-western
points Mr and Mrs Allen spent three
weeks about Karluk lake, and under
[the guidance of Captain Charles
Madsen and his sons spent the time
of his hunting life.
Grizzly Next
The placid lake with entrancing
surroundings, with huge bears and
smaller wild life making up a mov
ing background, will remain in his
memory as a vivid episode in his
outdoors career.
Enroute to Chicago, Mr. Allen is
going to stop off at Bozeman, Mon
tana. There is a big grizzly bear in
that section he intends to add to his
collection.
Body Of Ben Easley
Found Last Night
Word received by the Roust Air
ways last night from Kotzebue was
to the effect that the body of Pilot
Ben Easley was found near Cape
Blossom and that the body was to
be taken to Kotzebue. •
It will be recalled by Nugget read
ere that his plane was found floating
in the waters a short distance off
shore from Kotzebue several days
ago evidently having made a forced
landing due to the dense fog in that
section while enroute to Kotzebue
from Candle.
