SEATTLE, Dec. 3, A forecast of a new Alaska was made

S. S. Yukon for Juneau.
Mr. Bartlett has been Secretary to Delegate Anthony J.
Dimond since 4932, when he left his position as a newspap
er man on the Fairbanks News-Miner, to go to Washington.
With the appointment of John L. Pegues as Director of Fe
deral Housing Administration in Alaska, Mr. Bartlett was
drawn upon and appointed Assistant Director.
While in Washington, he had conferences with the Fe
deral Housing Administrator about which he says:
“I found Washington, D. C., interested and enthusiastic
about getting such a program under way in Alaska because
of the great need for housing improvement.
“The government’s willingness to help the program re
presents an opportunity to build a new Alaska. This applies
particularly to Nome where the need for better houses is
very evident.”
He is to take up his duties upon his arrival at Juneau,
under Director Pegues. _

Community Xmas
Tree Plans Under
Way: Meeting Sun.
A meeting yesterday afternoon at
2 p.m. in the Native School of the
Office of Indian Affairs, called by
Chairmbn EL Farrel, of the Com
munity Xmas Tree Committee, elect
ed new officers for the ensuing year.
Superintendent Bloom of the
Nome Public School was elected to
be chairman of the Community
Xmas Tree Committee for 1934-35.
Miss Russel was elected Secretary
for the same period, and J. S.
Stangroom was elected treasurer.
A community Xmas in Nome has
been an annual affair for the past
several years. In each instance the
community feeling developed and
the enjoyment derived by providing
a common entertainment for every
one, has well repayed all efforts to
ward making it a success.
Plans are now being made for a
Community Christmas celebration
this year. Committees will soon be
appointed by Chairman Bloom to
handle the various factors in the
presenting of such a program.
Following the election of a new
board of officers Sunday, discus
sion of the many phases of the
Community Xmas Tree occupied
the remainder of the time until ad
journment.
A committee was appointed, how
ever, to investigate and bring be
fore the next meeting the date on
which the celebration would take
place. Another feature which caus
ed considerable discussion was the
place in which such a program
could be given. The same comm
ittee is also to inquire into this and
report at the next meeting.
The paramount interest in pre
senting a Community Xmas, was to

the children of Nome to be gather
ed together in one large group for
the celebration of a Christmas pro

At the same time, there is no doubt
that the adult public has benefitted

heretofore. This year, especially, a

tion will do much toward uniting
jthe citizens of Nome in a common
.celebration typifying the great Am

whole-hearted support. Further par

as the committees are appointed
and actual work commenced on the

PROPOSING A PLAN FOR
COLONIZING ALASKA BY
INFLUX NEW FAMILIES
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 — The controlled migration of
impoverished families fromthe northern States into Alaska,
is being studied by the relief administration, aand the De
partment of the Interior.
Relief officials described the plans as still nebulous,
and further added that no positive action could be taken be
fore spring.
Nevertheless data is being assembled on the possible
scheme on which families might be moved advantageous
ly. The proposed migration would be limited perhaps to not
more than three hundred families the first year.
While families desiring to go to Alaska from the States
would not be excluded, those in Northern States would be
preferred. One group in mind are the families in the copp
er mining area of northern Michigan, who are on relief rolls
and where there is little chance of re-employment there.
It is suggested that they be transferred to some mining pro
jects Alaska, Where it is hoped that they could be placed
where they could grow part of their own food.
The head office was flooded with correspondence as
soon as this information became public. Officials said that
plans were not advanced sufficiently to warrant inquiries
or answers.

advisers pouring conflicting council
in his ear, President Roosevelt enter
ed today, the month in which he is
to make his decision as regards to

to taper off federal expenditures in
relief, trusting that the business re
vival will do the job. This is the
question which will occupy his at

TVA IS PROUD
TORY ENEMIES
DIRECTOR SAYS
LILIENTHAL ASSAILS REACTION
ARIES IN SPEECH BEFORE
TENNESSEE CROWD
--i
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. — David ,
E. Lilienthal, Tennessee valley au
thority power director, told a west
Tennessee audience here that the
TVA is “proud” to count among its
leading enemies “the whole tory
crowd concentrated in New York
and Chicago that always fights ev
ery move toward ^giving the aver
age man and woman a better
chance.” •
“The interests of this crew of re
actionaries, and your interests,” he
said, “are diametrically opposed.
There is a conflict there that can not
tie reconciled. Either TVA has to
be for you, or it has to be for this
other crowd. When that crowd be
gins to sing the praises of TVA, it
is time for you to throw us out.
“Suave Lawyers,” he added, “are
ready to furnish opinions C.O.D.
showing it is unconstitutional and
probably against the laws of nature
."or an ordinary farmer to have elec
tricity. These Tories and their- Hes
sian lawyers and journalists are go
ing to have the surprise of their
lives. Who has a better right to a
good life than the hard working
men and women on the farms, in
factories and places of business who
make up the bulk of our people?”
