NO FEAR OF GRASS GROWING
ON ANY STREET IN THE
UNITED STATES
NEW YORK. Nov.. —Franklin
Roosevelt, supported without quali
fication by Owen D. Young, repeat
ed here Thursday night his plea for
a “new deal" and attacked anew
what he termed the president's
campaign of "fear and intimida
tion". as “Un-American".
Young preceded Roosevelt on the
p 1 a t f o l m at the Metropoliian
Opera House. “I am supporting
without qualification, Mr. Roose
velt and Mr. Garner for the two
highest offices within the power of
the American people,” Young said.
ASSAULTS TACTICS
Roosevelt then proceeded to as
sault Republican campaign tactics
and again summed up his policy
for economic rehabilitation. He
charged that President Hoover had
shown a singular “lack of ability'
to cooperate with Congress during
this crisis, not only “with a Demo
cratic Congress but with a Repub
lican Congress”.
He said Hoover had conducted a
government "by guess and by gam
ble". The administration had guess
ed that the speculation would dc
no harm; it had guessed in one
budget after another, that busi
ness would improve. "It had gam
bled" on the hope that some nev
invention would pull the country
out of its crisis”.
I IS - AMERICAN
Roosevelt tlien summed up Hoo
ver's argument for reelection. "The
most un-American episode of this
campaign”, Roosevelt said, "is the
11th hour effort of the president to
abrogate to himself and his hand
ful of associates, the right to claim
an exhaustive interpretation of
and ownership in the American
system of government".
He explained his conception of
the American system and added.
"It is not a combination of the
economics of John Law and his
Mississippi bubble with those of Mr.
Grundy and his campaign contri
butors”.
GRASS BE TRAMPLED
The Democratic nominee ridicul
ed what he called the "Campaign
of fear”. "The president threat
ened”, he said, “that if the Demo
cratic party was placed in power,
the grass would grow on the streets
of the cities. It has little chance
to grow in the streets of our cities
now. It would be trampled into
the ground by the men who wander
these streets in search of employ
ment.”
BUTTLE IT BOOBS OF
WASHINGTON, Nov. —A battle
at the doors of the Supreme Court
between police and demonstrators
next Monday appears likely.

applied Thursday for a permit to
picket the court when it may ren
der a decision in the Scottsboro
assault case. Capt. Stephen Gnash
refused to issue the permit.
Angry words were exchanged be
tween Gnash and Frank Spector,
head of the Defense delegation.
Gnash insisted he would carry out
his threats if it led to a battle.

ic nominee for Delegate to Con
gress, Frank A. Boyle, for Auditor,
and N. R. Walker, Senatorial nomi
nee, were greeted at Skagway by a

will go overwhelmingly Democrat
ic this year, it is said.

day. wired Attorney General John
Rustgard at Anchorage offering “to
publicly prove the correctness of
his statement" that Rustgard had
offered William Paul a position in
his office ifter election if Paul
would withdraw from the race, and
that Rustgard had failed to reply
to telegram.
Roden told Rustgard that several

by Judge Truitt from Henry Roden.
“Last Monday I received the fol
lowing wire from Rustgard; ‘Did
you write letter to Paul saying he
would give job my office after elec
tion? If so by what authority?
Answer.’ To which I answered
Monday night; ‘Am at loss to ac
count for your telegram; your
memory must be poor if you have
forgotten that you directed me to
tell Paul you would give job in
your office after election if
would withdraw and support you.
There are other people here who
know you made that promise. Do
! you want me to prove publicly cor
rectness my statement? Answer to
I day.’ !To answer yet is your author
1 ity to publish Anchorage Times.
Signed, Henry Roden.”

i cific Alaska Airways, landed at the
I Seward Airport today from Anch

in POUNDS OF
GOLD FROM NUU BNY F
8ITZ PROPEBTF
Big things are in the offing for
Nuka Bay.
On the next boat from Nuka Bay
it is expected The Alaska Hills will
send in a fine cleanup of at least!
30 pounds of gold. At this time a
deal is pending on the Babcock and j
Downey property, the Goyne prop-1
erty, the Rosness property and the j
Lang property.
The country is rapidly coming to :
the front. One of the principle rea- j
sons why this locality has not re- \
ceived so much attention is due to j
the classification given the rock. I
Instead of being described as gray- j
wacke and slate, it should bft more J
specifically classified as diorifce Di- j
prite is an igneous rock, and gray
wacke, which is a sedimentary rock,
lies on the surface only, not ex
tending to the depth at which di
orite and its values are found.
What is needed at Nuka Bay is
practical prospectors—prospectors
of the type of Wyman Anderson,
with real experience, who can un
cover veins and deposits in a much
shorter length of time than the
inexperienced. So says Charles
Goyne who h a s brought into
town two beautful specimens of a
rich ore shoot recently dug up on
his property and are now on ex
hibition at Ogle’s Garage. This
rock is classified in the diorite and
andesite class, which is a combina
tion usually carrying the values to
full depth.
In the recent strike at Nuka Bay
there are very strong indications
of the presence of telluride ore.
Mr. Goyne’s samples are to be test
ed soon to ascertain whether or not
this is true. The ore carries small
quantities of lead, zinc, antimony,
bismuth and molybdenum, besides
the usual sulphides. The surface
only, however, of the properties in
the district have been scratched,
and the entire extent of the miner
■ alized zone is unknown.
