MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
PWA Powerless to Give Resi
dential Preference to Applicant
Workers
In order that Alaska residents
■would be assured of having more
definite employment opportunit
ies, Delegate Dimond recently re
quested Administrator Ickes of
the PWA, to have provisions
made for the first offers of -work
On public works projects to bona
fide residents of the Territory.
The reply stated that under
the Public Works Administra
tion Appropriation Act of 1938
requirement cannot be made in
awarding of contracts that a res
idential preference be establish
ed in employment of workers on
projects. It was said, however,
that they do “encourage the em
ployent of local workmen as far
as possible.”
While the Delegate has consist
ently sought to help all resident
workers of Alaska in obtaining
employment in Federal under
takings. his request in this parti
cular instance was based on a pet
ition signed by a number of resi
dent working men of Anchorage
who asked that a certified list of
resident applicants for work be
established and that employment
on Government projects be made
from the list.
PLOT TO KILL KING
CAROL IS DISCOVERED
; --
BUCHAREST, June — Police
announced discovery of a plot to
assassinate King Carol, Premier
Armand Calinescu, Foreign Min
ister Grigore Gafencu and other
governors.
Seven had been employees in
the arsenal. Police said “half a
hundred” arrests were expect
ed.
Authorities reported two gren
ades were discovered in one pri
vate home. Scores of detectives
began raids on members of the
Iron Guard a nazi-like organiza
tion which incurred Carol’s ire a
year ago.
When times are bad, business
gets the blame; when they are
good, politicians take the credit.
I
Fishery Products Laboratory
Asked of Congress by Dimond
A bill introduced in the House
on June 9 by the Delegate would
authorize an appropriation of
$50,000 to enable the Bureau of
Fisheries to establish a fishery
products laboratory in the Ter
ritory.
Under the provisions of the
bill the Bureau of Fisheries is
authorized to cooperate with the
Fisheries Experimental Commis
j sion of the Territory, as well as
will municipalities, agencies, or
ganizations, or individuals, in
i working toward the purpose of
the Act. It stipulates that $20,000
of the appropriation authorized
shall be construed as the Federal
j participation for matching the I
like amount which was appro-1
priated by the Aerritorial Leg
islature in 1937 for such use. This
is particularly in line with the
suggested plan that has been un
der consideration for some years
to establish a fishery products
labratory at Ketchikan.
PLANE WITH GOLD
CARGO LOSES PROP
ANCHORAGE, June — Pilot i
Johnny Moore of the Star Air- j
lines was embarrassed recently
when the propellor shaft of his
plane broke, sending the propel
lor into space and leaving him
at an elevation of 3,000 feet and
35 minutes flight from Anchor
age.
Picking a swamp in the Susit
na Rjver flats, he glided out of
the mountains, safely landing his
cargo of 130 pounds of gold
which he was flying from Flat to
the Anchorage banks. He had no
passengers.
Moore radioed his plight while
gliding to a landing. A locating
plane picked up his signal that he
wanted “mosquito dope, a bed
net and whiskey.”
A rescue party arrived in 2
days, comprising five men to
pack out the gold. Moore was an
hurt. The plane was slightly dam
aged and cannot be taken out
until the fall freezeup.

McDuffee, Quartz Miner
Bings Cleanup To Nome
Developing one of the best
quartz possibilities in the Nome
section is Ralph McDuffee, vet
eran hard-rock miner, who came
to town the other day with a
sizable cleanup, from his claim
located 22 miles up Snake River,
at Silver Creek.
Operating a five-ton mill, he
has opened up a two hundred
foot tunnel off of a 40-foot shaft,
and has obtained ore running
from $100 to $250 per ton, with
about 75 percent saving in the
milling.
His plans call for a continua
tion of development work this
season with the present mill, and
the installation, possibly next
year of a larger mill, which
would handle the ore at a great
er profit and less expense. He
also expects to lengthen the
drift to about a thousand feet
and lower the shaft to about 100
feet.
Quartz is “Mac’s” life, and if
anything can be made of the pre
sent development, he is the one
to do it. What Nome needs is
greater development of quartz
prospects, for a steady employ
ing of labor during the entire
year.
Both Hitler and Mussolini
were corporals during the World
War. Just supposing they had
been top sergeants!
