WASHINGTON, June 26, — President Franklin D.

established the “National Youth Administration” to meet
what he called a great national need, by offering the unem
ployed youth of the country “their chance in school, their
turn as apprentices, and an opportunity for jobs.”
The new agency will be under the Work Relief Pro
gram. The President set aside 50 million dollars for pro
viding work apprenticeships in private industry, and offer
ing high school and college training for those between the
ages of 16 and 25, and the giving of work relief to youths.
Roosevelt Determined Save U. S. Youth
WASHINGTON, June 26, — The new undertaking was
put under the direction of Josephine Roche, Assistant Secre
tary of the Treasury and Aubrey Williams, assistant to Hop
kins of the FERA.
President Roosevelt in announcing his plan to aid an
estimated half million young men and women said:
“I am determined we shall do something for the nation’s
unemployed youth because we can ill afford to lose the skill
and energy of these young men and women.”
The average payment will be fifteen dollars monthly
for youth on work relief, and a fixed six dollars monthly for
those going to high school, and fifteen dollars monthly for
those in college.

The Washington
News - Letter
OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND
Delegate from Alaska
(By J. J. ECKLES)
May 18, 1935.
(Delayed in Transit)
The Ketchikan Bond Issue Bill is
probably the most widely known
legislation of local importance that
has been enacted by the present
congress and its pubicity was as un
sought and unexpected as it was
free. The fact remains, nearly ev
eryone in Washington knows of
Ketchikan and its now famous .bill
authorizing the purchase of the light,
water, and telephone utilties.
The build-up of this advertising
came in the following manner: The
bill, having passed the House, was
passed by the Senate on May 3rd,
and immediately sent to the White
House for the approval of the Pres
ident. As is customary, before sign
ing the hill the President sent it to
the Department of the Interior for
its report. Several days passed with
no action being taken by the Pres
ident, so Delegate Dimond called
the White House to inquire when
the bill was likely to be signed, and
was informed that approval of the
bill was being withheld until it was
returned from the Interior Depart
ment with the report. The Dele
gate then called the Department,
and pointing out the urgency of the
legislation, requested that everything
possible be done to expedite its re
turn to the White House. The De
partment was entirely in agreement
and said that the report would be
forthcoming immediately.
Two more days and no further
word on the bill, so the Delegate
began to make almost daily calls
on the White House inquiring as
to the approval of the bill, but the
reply was still the same, the bill
and report thereon had not been re
ceived from the Secretary of the
Interior. Day by day, the ten days
were slowly passing that would
make the bill a law without the
president’s signature. After deduct
ing a day for transmittal, one for
Saturday and another for Sunday,
the time would expire at midnight,
May 15th.
On the morning of May 15th, the
President forwarded to Congress a
letter from Secretary Ickes reading:
“I regret to report the loss of en
rolled bill H. R. 6084 authorizing
a bond issue for Ketchikan, Alaska,
which was delivered to my office on
May 3 by a messenger from the
White House. The bill was receipted
for by a messenger at my door, who
has no recollection, however, of this
particular dooument.
“The practice is for the messen
ger to deliver enrolled bills to the
man in charge of the incoming mails
to my office, who sends them to the
file room for recording. There is
no record of the receipt of this
bill by the recording clek. I have
caused everyone to search all pap

ALASKA JUNEAU MINE
SITU ATION REMAINS IN
STATUS QUO TODAY
!%o Won! Is Beceived From Washington On
Governor's Bequest "That Troops Be
Brought To Juneau Preserve Peace
(By The Associated Press')
JUNEAU, June 2G. — The Alaska June Mine strike sit
uation still remains status quo, with continued registration
for back to work being made at the mine office.
Colonel Dosenberrv, who flew here Monday night from
Chilkoot Barracks, had nothing to say today, as he most re
ceive his orders from the Secretary of War.
At the Governor’s office, no word had been received
concerning Governor Troy’s request for federal troops, to
help safeguard property in Juneau in case further rioting
or fighting developed, when the Alaska Juneau Mine reopens.
Union pickets still continue to maintain a limited force
on the lanes leading to the mine office, but no intimidation
is being used, was the apparent indication this morning.
Over thirty persons have been arrested, charged with
rioting as a result of Monday’s demonstration. They were
taken before the United States Commissioner and all were
released on five hundred dollars average bail.
Officials of the mine would make no announcement as
to when they would probably resume operations.

with the one he received from Max

Camera was bleeding freely at
the mouth after the first round and
went down for counts of four twice
in the 6th. Then Louis flattened
him a third time with a left hook
to the nose. Camera rose at the
count of three, but was dazed and
helpless.
Referee Art Donovan stopped the
fight at that point.
Camera’s purse was ninety-six
thousand and Louis’ forty-nine thou
sand dollars.
