DISAPPOINTING NEWS
Alaska had rather confidently expected a sizeable share
of the billion dollar works fund. Now it appears as if the
Territory is not to get all it had hoped. In one sense, the
picture is dismal. Still, in all fairness it is probable that Al
aska will get a share proportionate with its needs and there
fore comparable with the shares that go elsewhere.
However, there is one grave danger that the federal
government may not be fully conversant with Alaskan needs
and may therefore distribute work to one or two sections
and assume that such project will take care of unemploy
ment in other parts of Alaska. For instance, it may be as
sumed by those who do not understand that the $400,000
allocated for a road to Matanuska will do some good for
Ketchikan and Juneau. Of course, the Matanuska project
is virtually useless to Southeastern Alaska.
It is probable that the time of greatest need in Ketchi
kan will be in the fall—at the conclusion of the fishing sea
son. For that reason, responsible agencies should get their
bids in now for work projects in the Ketchikan district to
start in the fall and carry through the winter, as much as
the weather will allow.
There are various possible projects. Roads would be
useful. An air field might even be considered. Most of all,
the projects pushed by local interests should follow the
broad principles laid down by President Roosevelt:
(1) The projects must be useful.
(2) They must be of such nature that a large proportion
of the money spent will go into wages for direct labor at the
site.
(3) They must promise an ultimate return to the fed
eral treasury, "for such projects will receive preference.
(4) They must be of such nature that work can start
promptly, since it is hoped to complete all projects by July
1 of next year.
A fulfillment of these conditions may challenge the wits
of those interested, but it is certain that if we are to get our
just share we must go after it.—Ketchikan Alaska Chronicle.

LEMl'R HUNT TO TRACE FOSSIL
FOREBEARS BE STARTED
IN MONTANA REGION
(By The Associated Press')
NEW YORK, Aug. 3, —Vanished
creatures that roamed the plains of
Montana 50,000,000 years ago, be
lieved to be the earliest link in the
mammalian ancestry of man, will be
the object of a hunt during the next
four months by an expedition of the
American Museum of Natural Hist
ory, headed by Dr. George Gaylord
Simpson, assistant curator of verte
brate palaeontology.
The region to be explored is in
the vicinity of the Crazy Mountains,
near Harlowton, in the central part
of Montana. Preliminary surveys
have revealed, Dr. Simpson stated,
that the geologic strata of the early
paleocene period, about 50,000,000
years old, contains rich beds of fos
sils of the early primates that may
give new information about the re
mote ancestry of man.
Links to Lemur
These creatures, ranging in size
from that of a very small mouse up
to a small sheep dog are the earliest
mammals to emerge in the course of
evolution, making their appearance
on earth in relatively large num
bers only after the disappearance of
the great dinosauri, Dr. Simpson
added. They were related to the
lemurs, the most promitive living
primates, which they resemble.
While a few fragments of these
creatures have been found Dr.
Simpson stated, no complete skele
ton exists anyw'here at present. At
least 50 species and 35 genera, and
very likely more, are known to be
entombed in the Crazy Mountain
rocks.
The expedition is sponsored by H.
S. Scarritt, a New York broker, and
Mr and Mrs. Fenley Hunter of
Flushing.
Bullitt May Protest
Communist World
Congress In Russia
(By The Associated Press')
MOSCOW, Aug. 3, — American
Ambassador William C. Bullitt may
protest officially against activities
of the Communist Internationale,
now holding a world congress here,
it was learned today. ,
Any protest would be made on the
ground that the Communist Inter
nationale is plotting to overthrow
the American political or social or
der.
It would be based on the Soviet
American agreement of November
19, 1933, in which Russia promised
not to countenance any group aim
ed at forcing a change in American
social or political orders.
