A MERITED RECOGNITION
Rumor has it that A. A. Shonbeck of Anchorage is
being spoken of for the highly important Alaska post ot
Democratic National Committeeman.
No better choice could be made than Mr. Shonbeck,
both for his political consistency and faithfulness and his
ability as a business man.
Starting on the placer mining creeks of the Iditarod,
branching out further when the city of Anchorage was
a tent village, Mr. Shonbeck has been a signal success not
only in business, but one of the architects of the Head
quarters City’s present growth. In addition to his urban
business, he is one of the few men of means who have
given encouragement to Alaska farming, in that he pur
chased and successfully operates one of the best farms
in Western Alaska, at Palmer. He has heavy investments
in and around Anchorage, and may be classed as a 100
per cent Alaskan and 100 per cent Democrat.
SPLENDID INTER CITY SPIRIT
In coining to Seward with the entertaining and in
vigorating comedy, “Let Anne Do It,” Anchorage has
again displayed the splendid inter-city spirit which is
laying the foundation fcr more intimate association and
cementing of kindred interests.
Members of the cast, KFQD Serenaders, broadcast
artists and a iar6e number of other Anchorage residents
are corning over tonight to assist the Seward American
Legion Post in raising funds for erection of their “dug
out,” which will provide a gathering place for service
men and promote the club spirit.
We thank you!
AUTHOR POINT OUT
PHILADELPHIA, April 7.—Low
ell Thomas, world traveler, com- j
merited on letters he had received
from friends in Germany, telling
of the advent of Chascellor Hitler
and the Nazi party. All of the let
ters, he said, were from other than
Nazi supporters, but carried a tone
of faith in the Nazi leader.
One letter, from a Catholic for
mer anti-Hitler believer, asserted
that the present turmoil among
the Nationalists and National So
cialists was only an assertion of
the two parties of their hard-won
victory. Their anti-Communist
and anti-Jewish crusade, ths. letter
said, was only a thrust at their
bitter opponents.
“There have been no atrocities,
and there have been no crimes,”
the letter said.
BEER WILL MAKE
PEOPLE FORQET, ROLPH
SACRAMENTO, April 7— Gover
nor Rolph believes the return of
beer to California will “put a heart
in the people, will give them a pick
me-up, and make them forget the
depression.”
A barrel of beer of the Governor
was brought from San Francisco
to the capitol by airplane.
‘ Will you serve beer in the of
fice?” one newspaper man inquir
ed. “Well if what Mrs. Roosevelt
says is rightly named, that beer
can be served in the White House,
I don’t see why I shouldn’t do the
same thing Ihere”, the Governor
replied. ,
THREE STRANGLED
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., April 7,

baby and eight-year-old son were
strangled to death and asphyxiat
ed in their home here. The owner
of the house, a school principal,
