Stangroom, Cashier of the Miners and Mer chants Bank of Nome receiv ed a wire today from Pres. G. R. Jackson in Seattle saying that he was leaving immediately for Washing ton, ID. C., and while there would look into the mat ter of the proposed Nome Federal Building, in an at tempt to have it approved and work commence by the arrival of the first boats. M. J. Walsh, and perhaps others, heard over the rad io last night, in new broad casts from Station KFQD, Anchorage, that the $10, 000 delegated to Nome in the war department appro priation bill, was to be used for the Dry Creek basin, in the Nome harbor. The telegram received by the Nugget did not mention what it was to be used for and left the impression that it would be merely for the harbor. Perhaps, this is a special appropriation for the basin and a large one will be made for gen eral maintenance work of the harbor. Italian Seamen Desert \ esse Is In l. S. Ports Peak Reached in Desertions When Ethiopian Con flict Started (By The Associated Press) Washington, D. C., March —Evidence that many Ital ian seamen prefer the shor es of the United States to those of their native land— or perhaps are avoiding the heat of Ethiopia—was con tained in reports of the United States immigration and naturalization service. Despite Premier Benito Mussolini’s frequent asser tions that all Italians are be hind the African war, of ficial figures show that the number of deserters from foreign ships arriving here increased to 1212 in 1935, compared to 972 in 1934, J. F. Wixon, deputy com missioner of immigration, declared. ‘Italian desertions ex ceeded those of other na tions.” Italian desertions are ap parently declining, altho they continue to lead those of other nations. These de sertions, it was reported in other quarters, reached their peak when the Italian campaign in Ethiopia got in to full swing. Italian sea men leave their ships on ar rival here in the hope of finding homes in this coun try, but many are located and deported. lhcrc is nothing in the immigration laws to pre vent seamen from desert ing foreign ships here, but such meh are required to re-ship a ra.n \ it' in 60 days. I*' w seaman desert the . days, however, unless they hope to remain in 'his country, an official expkiin ed, because the depressed condition of shipping mak es the obtaining of new jobs difficult. Most of the Italian deser tions are.from small ships, it was said. The masters are required to report de sertions to immigration of ficials before sailing. Some of the seamen who were seized were said to have explained that they feared they would be draft ed for service in Ethiopia. _ SAVE $2.00 $10.00 paid in advance will give you the Nome Daily Nugget for six months, A saving of $2.00.
