FR. HUBBARD WILL TRY
NEW TRAVEL IDEA
There are many ways of trav
eling up the fjord-lined coast of
Alaska—dog sled, steamship, air
plane—and Father Hubbard, the
"Glacier Priest" and distinguish
ed Al3skan Authority, has tried
them all.
Last year Father Bernard R.
Hubbard, S. J., covered 2500 mitl
es in a 50-foot boat built by Es
kimos, with eight natives, ten
dogs and two tons of gear. This
year he has a new idea. Instead
»f riding out the quick violent
coastal storms, he is planning to
use a boat fast enough to ruin
away from them.
On his way to a lecture en
gagement at the University of
' Michigan, he stopped in at the
Gray Marine Motor Co. factory
in Detroit, to inspect a Gray
Phantom ‘“S:x-103” which is to
be his power plant in a special
Century 20 footer, and to study
the possibilities of the single cyl
inder Gray Marine Diesel for his
1940 exploration work.
Leaving Seattle the last week
in May, Father Hubbard expects
to cruise up the 1,000 mile
stretch to Juneau from where his

small boat will be transported to
.the Aleutian Islands by the Coast
Guard or by Fishermen. Then he
will go on to Kotzebue Sound
where he plans include a trip up
the Noatak river to investigate
mineral deposits.
The explorer will be accom
panied this year by Sportsman
; Cod. Douglas B. Wesson, of Smith
and Wesson, makers of firearms.
Gray marine engines, such as
Father Hubbard will use as well
as other types, are handled in
Fairbanks by Wells Alaska Mo

Opposition To
Reorganization
Plan Is Smashed
WASHINGTON, May 3 (/Pi —
The House smashed under a land
slide of votes the attempt to kill
President Roosevelt’s initial plan
for reorganization of the govern
ment's sprawling executive agen
cies by a vote to 264 to 128, when
it discarded the resolution of dis
approval of the plan offered by
Representative Taber.
The action virtually cleared
the way for the reorganization
program to go into operation in
the next month since both the
Senate and the House must re
ject the plan within sixty days
after its submission to Congre
to prevent its being effective.
