ALASKA AT THE
COMING CONGRESS
The time is rapidly approach
ing when the United States con
gress will convene—January 3—
in one of the most important ses
sions of its history.
With the European war and
"Hie conflict in China setting
things topsy-turvy and jeopard
izing the Western World, Amer
ica has a lot to do to keep the
ship of state on an even keel and
to anticipate any contingency. It
is up to her legislative and ad
ministrative branches of govern
ment to be alert to the exigincies
of the situation, and to work fast
er than the nation’s potential en
emies, keeping jumps ahead of
them.
It will be just too bad for Am
erica if this is not done. Indica
tions are that the administration
is planning accordingly — and
that congress will rise to the oc
casion.
Many an adjustment and pro
vision must be made on matters
touching foreign and domestic
relations. The construction and
building program in the States
already is reaching boom propor
tions, with factories humming
and skilled labor engaged in act
ivities approaching the 1929
boom.
The national program extends
far, and includes a defensive and
•development program for Alaska
that is sure to unfold a new era
in Alaska, which will manifest
itself throughout Alaska by
spring.
Wide-awake Alaskans antici
pating this already are bestirring
themselves. The situation de-:
mands that such matters as come
before congress touching Alaska
be handled with benefit of full
knowledge of her needs and the
cooperation of her people.
Delegate Dimond. anticipating
the importance of the situation,
is hastening back to Washington
from his recent visit here. He
. will have a heavy task to keep
in touch and help guide aright
every measure and movement
that develops at the capital affect
ing the interests of Alaska.
He deserves and should have
the fullest and speediest possible
support and cooperation of the
people of his vast constituency.
It is none to soon to get into
action. Chambers of Commerce
and other representative bodies
of the Territory will de well to
formulate their needs and recom
mendations and get them down
to Washington at once.
Look out for surprises and
many acts of legislation that
will have a vital bearing on ev
ery collective and individual in
j terest in the Territory this year.
: And don’t be caught napping. It’s
ihigh time to get going.

ISLANDERS ON
PITCAIRN SHORT FOOD
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 —
Read Admiral Byrd reported to
the Navy his Antarctci expedi
tion found the 200 inhabitants of j
lonely Pitcairn Island, in the j
South Pacific in a sad plight be-j
cause of the European war.
Many Lslanders, direct descend
ants of mutineers from the Brit
ish sailing ship Bounty in 1790
are suffering from food shortage
and lack of medical attention.
The MS North Star visited the
island enroute to Dunedin, New

visited the island since October.
The islanders were provided
with food and gasoline to run
their radio power plant, and doc
tors treated patients. Machinists
renaired the radio.

j silence and for the first time re
lated details of the trunk mur

Enroute here from Yuma
! where she was captured after 12
days of freedom she told Sheriff
Newman and newsmen she kill
ed Agnes Ann Leroi and Hedvig
Samuelson in self defense and an
accomplice helped her dispose of
the bodies.
She told newsmen she precip
itated the fight with the two wo
men when one of them threaten
ed to teil her husband Dr. W C
tJudd she had been "trifling” on
■him and Mrs. Judd retaliated
| with a threat to expose them as
i perverts.
"Miss Samuelson came at me
i with an automatic. I grabbed a
'butcher knife off the kitchen
: table and stabbed her twice in
i the shoulder and the knife bent

Maricopa country sheriff has the
knife.
“Then I grabbed for the gun
and I was shot in the hand. I
caught hold of her hand, twisted
it and Miss Samuelson was shot
by the gun still in her hand; the
i gun fell to the floor.
"I whirled as Ann came at me
j with an ironing board. Fighting
land tussling we fell to the floor.
H got the gun on the floor and
shot her.
A friend arranged for the dis

in which they were shipped to
