MUNISTS BATTLE: SEV
ERAL INJURED
BERLIN, Oct., 17, (JP)—Bedlam
reigned in the Reichstag as
communists howled about the
government’s program of eco
nomic reform.
Gregor Strassar, fascist party
spokesman, advocated abroga
tion of the Versailles treaty and
"if necessary, German’s salva
xion, war.’’
Strasser's declarations were
made after fellow partisans had
nowled down others who were
iorced to bellow their arguments
for and against the government.
At one point Socialists shout
ed “Throw ’em out.”
The fascists replied “Come
and do it.”
i Bedlam lasted for hours and
did not cease until Strasser took
the floor. He said “Fascists are
jh> t seeking war but wont
shrink if it should become the
last means in securing German
independence and social free
dom.” He said the treaty is “im
moral and hence void.”
The Reichstag met while the
mty was seething with disorder.
Police fought communists up
and down the streets and several
were injured.

PAPER INTERESTS
WASHINGTON, Oct., 17, (A5)—
A suit to prevent issuance of
license to I. and J. D. Zellerbach
of San Francisco for a power
plant in Southeastern Alaska,
has been filed with the District
of Columbia Supreme Court.

for an injunction to restrain is
suance by the Federal Power
Commission for the rights to
Swan Lake.

quired title for 30 acres of land
involved in the project and is
suance of license would deprive
Irm of his rights.
Jones got title from native In
dians on Hevillagigedo Island,
o nwhich Ketchika nis situated,
Commission officials said the
records did not show that native
Indians ever owned the island.
COLD SUPPLIES
SE IlflDEQUIIE
FORT WAYNE, Ind. Oct. 17. !
nadequacy of the gold in the Fed
eral Reserve System to permit ex- !
ension or continuance of the cheap j
noney policy which manifests it-,
elf in large holdings of govern- i
nent securities by the Federal Re- I
;erve banks, was addressed here by j
Jenjamin M. Anderson of the j
"hase National bank, in an address
>efore members of the Indiana
Jankers’ Association.
“The gold position of the Federal
teserve System is impregnable,
inderson explained, “so far as the
ibility of th esystem to maintain
he gold standard and to meet a
ight money situation is concerned
“But the system’s gold is inad
quate to permit an extension, or
ven th econtinuance of the cheap
loney policy which manifests it
slf in large holdings of government
purities by banks of the system,
nless the Federal Reserve System
; willing to face the necessity of
drastic reversal of policy and a
larp rise in interest rates when
ade revival begins.”
Frank Murphy, 66, well known
ormer employe of Alaska Rail
oad died last week in Seattle, ac
ording to word received at An
horage. He was injured over
cvo years ago in a train wreck on j
tie Anchorage-Seward division and j
ad never fully recovered.
A misfortune that will be
equally mourned by many sports
: men both here and abroad has
overtaken Lew W. Bishop, ‘Prince
j of Hosts’ of world-famed Russian
I River, the home of the big
j trout.
: Bishop has just lost by fire
j his new fishing and hunting
lodge on Russian River which
he has been two years in con
structing. Now the old lodge as
well as the new are a heap of
ashes in which are buried all
of Lew’s personal effects, his be
loved rifles and fishing tackle,
his boots and cloths,—everything
in fact but a Victrola and a
mattress. When he arrived in
Seward Thursday night with
j Fred Broadwell he had nothing
left but his land, his foxes and
the clothes he stood in.
Broadwell has been down there
finishing up the interior decor
ations of the new lodge and the
j two had moved into the building
| three days ago. Some potatoes
: had been dug and left on the
i ground but for fear some of
j them had frozen, Bishop spread
; them on the floor of the nejv
I lodge and had built a fire in
I the old stove.
Nothing had happened the
I first night but the morning of
the third day the men were
i awakened by the popping of
| cart: idges and awoke to find
the lodge building a mass of
flames. Hot dripping tar from
! roofing burned them in their
i efforts at fire fighting which
! were futile.
Soon the new building was in
i Fames and all they could save
' was the aforesaid mattress and
j music box. Bishop declared he
| is going right back and start
another lodge.
[ Bishop’s lodge is international
ly known and now there will be
an international lodge of sorrow.
Many a local fisherman has en
joyed the famous Bishop hospi
tality and several of the local
boys are trying to dope it out
so that they can get away from j
their duties here for awhile and:
devote some strong-arm effort
and other needful assistance in |
the new building operations.

CORRECT TRAINING, DIET
ING IN COUNTRY’S OWN
CUISINE PLANNED
LOS ANGELES, Oct., 16, (£>)—
Plans for the Olympic Village
for housing and feeding the
athletes during the Games of
the Xth Olympiad in 1932, are
engaging the attention of the
organizing committee which is
completing all of the details of
this big and important feature
of the preparations for the
ccming world event.
The Village plan was received
enthusiastically and adopted at
the recent Olympic Congress in
Berlin, although it was possible
at that time for the organizing
committee to present only a
general idea of the plan.
The committee believes that
the health, comfort and peace
of mind of the athletes and their
immediate entourage are of
principal importance in the
success of the games. Correct
training and diet in each coun
try’s own cuisine is assured un
der this plan.
It was recently reported .at a .
meeting of the Cordova Cham- J
her of Commerce that the com
mittee which had been instruct
ed to investigate the problem ^
of the proposed removal of court (
headquarters from Valdez, be- ^
lieved that no removal order lt
would be forthcoming, but that
if such an order is issued by
the department of justice, Sew
ard is favored as the best place J
for the court.

GREAT WELCOME BY
SAMOANS
PAGO PAGO, American Samoa,
Oct., 16, (/P)—Devising a govern
mental scheme for American
Samoa promises more complex
ities than the mere scaling
down of republican iorms to fit
a country of midget golf-course
size.
But whatever the problems
are the warmth of a genuine
Samoan welcome greeted the ar
rival of Senator Hiram Bingham
and the congressional commiss
ion appointed by President Hoo
ver to investigate and make re
commendations as to the gov
ernment of this South Sea out
post of Uncle Sam.
Formal tribal rituals that are
symbolic of a mild-Pacific cul
ture dating back to the 12th cen
tury, the dignified ceremony of
mixing Kava, the graceful danc
ing of fair Samoan maidens and
many other gestures of friend
.ship were on the program of
these people who are to be ad
mitted in an entire body as cit
izens of the United States.
Other members of the com
mitte included Representative
Edgar R. Keiss of Pennsylvania,
Senator Joseph T. Robinson of
Arkansas and Representative G.
Williams of Texas.
