MENT, TIS SAID
WASHINGTON, Nov., 17, (/P)—
A definite decision against rec
ommending the repeal of the
18th amendment but a certain
trend toward some sort of a
modification of the dry law ap
peared to prevail among the
members of the Wickersham law
enforcement investigating com
mittee as the time drew near
when it's report must be ready
for Congress and President Hoo
fer.
The recommendation for re
peal was unanimously rejected
by the committee it is under
stood and it is believed that the
commission will oppose any form
of government dispensation of
liquors either federally or by
states.
Just what form the modifica
tion will take is as yet unknown
and it is not likely that the exact
means of exporting changes in
dry law have been framed by the
•oromr-: ion : m' T.

have appeared in Middle West
newspapers and have proved em

* out of the loan of $4,090,000
which was made to a company
selling grapes by the federal
farm board.

! FAPEI SHOWS HISTORIC
‘‘The airplane serving on an er
rand of mercy” is the caption of a
picture in the Mid-Week Pictorial
of the New York Times.
The crew of the Arc. ic Pur Trad
ing Schooner Karim is shown low

b db who made tbo iiiaht froui
' me to Cape Scr '- ^ Siberia, in
! answer to a call for help.
As will be rememb'.a'ed by the
news dispatches' of the tame, this
was one of the historic flights of
. the North. It was undertaken un
der the most trying weather con
ditions. but it was a matter of life
and death. The Karise was ice
I bound and her captain so ill that
lit was imperative that he be go1
; ten to a hospital for medical at
| tention. Dorbanat, and Cope of the
International Airways of Alaska
happened to be in Nome when the
call for help came in. Without any
more delay than it took them to
fuel their ship, they were off into
the Arctic storm. It was a tossup
if they would ever return- But they
did return and brought the cap
tain back with them and his life
was saved. The item carried little
space in Outside papers. Had any
thing anywhere near like it oc
curred in the States or Canada, it
would have been given a whole
page.
BOOSTING ALONG
C. J. Lincke, editor and publisher
of the Midnight Sun of Anchorage
tosses a nice bouquet as follows:
The Seldovia Herald will soon be
installing a printing plant. If its
first efforts prove a criterion.
Lcldovia is destined to get onto
the map with a bang. Like the
Sun, and the Seward Gateway, Ed
itor Bussey believes in vigerous,
informative journalism, and his
bigger newspaper will be welcomed
into the fold, as one of the powers
calculated to mold a progressive
present and future for this por
tion of the Territory.
MOST FACE ISSUE

SIDESTEPPING BY ANY PARTY
SPELLS DOOM, DECLARES
SO PUN
WASHINGTON, Nov., 17, (A3)— j
To compete plans advanced for j
prohibition changes, Represen- j
tative Beck, Republican from
Pennsylvania, suggests that the
Volstead act be repealed and
States enforce the 18th amend
ment.
Beck said any effort to repeal
the 18th amendment would re- j
suit in such a defeat as to post
pone all “practical relief for
another generation,” and that;
any political party attempting
to sidestep the prohibition issue,
would be doomed to defeat.
The law enforcement commiss
ion is expected to make recom
j mendations for strengthening
i laws without reference to repeal
! or other changes.

Yale’s two-foot line when the

this slim margin prevented the
Princeton squad from scoring
the most sensational updet of
