NEED FOR A PROGRAM
In the absence of other pressing needs for legislation
at the coming session of the Alaska Legislature, the time
appears propitous for that body to launch a program hav
ing to do with the respective needs of various portions of
the Territory as related to Federal activities. There are
many restrictions under bureaucratic control that might
be removed if Washington was properly impressed with
the need for reform, and many innovations that might be
introduced were the departments at Washington assisted
in arriving at a conclusion as to what Alaska really
needs. The initiation should come through the Legisla
ture, backed by representative bodies of each region af
fected, and these in turn backed by a vigorous press. Nei
ther Legislators or the officials at Washington may be
looked to for progressive action unless those virtually in
terested show a keener activity in pressing their needs,
and no more valuable service could be rendered than co
operating with the members of the Legislature in evolv
ing a program calculated to impress upon the higher
powers the fact that Alaska knows what she wants and
that there is unanimity of sentiment behind the demands.
FORD’S FIVE DAY WEEK
The national Association of Manufacturers has ob
tained the views of a considerable number of presidents of
American manufacturing establishments on Mr. Ford’s
five-day week plan. These opinions and conclusions con
cur in holding that the plan will not work because,
(1) It would greatly increase the cost of living;
(2) It would increase wages generally by more
than 15 per cent and decrease production;
(3) It would be impractical for all industries;
(4) It would create a craving for additional lux
uries to occupy the additional time;
(5) It would mean a trend toward the arena, that is,
excessive amusement;
(6) It would be against the best interests of the
men who want to work and advance;
(7) It might be all right to meet a sales emergency,
but would not work out as a permanent thing;
(8) It would make us more vulnerable to the eco
nomic onslaughts of Europe, now working as hard as she
can to overcome our lead.
One of the striking contributions to this symposium
is that of Charles Cheney, of South Manchester, Conn.,
who observes that “America now has a great handicap
over the rest of the world in the matter of efficiency, but
it can easily sacrifice it by letting down upon its effi
ciency.”
Nothing could be more unsound than the policy of re
ducing output, he says. It strikes at the very root of
American prosperity. Great Britain will be eliminated
in its struggle to maintain its place in world commerce, if
it continues to be hampered by the policy of reduced pro
duction and declining efficiency
Thus the plan does not appear to meet with favor
among manufacturers. They assert that they oppose it,
not because they wish to deny wage earners more rest
and recreation, but because it may materially injure the
United States industrially and perhaps put America be
hind in the race for trade and commerce.
With Queen Marie of Rumania, a guest in the coun
try, being made the incentive for a controversy between
rival automobile concerns, there is little wonder that
Europeans consider America a nation of rapacious money
, grubbers. „ . '
First we had the Florida cyclone, then the heavy
weight battle, then the world Series, the election, .and in
between, Aimee, and now we have the Hall-Mills case
staring us in the face. Whut next! __

STAR WOMAN WITNESS
REPORTED NEAR DEATH
NEW YORK, Nov. 8. (JP)—A new
blow was struck at the prosecution
of the four year old murders of Rev.
Edward Wheeler Hall and his choir
singer afinity, Mrs. Eleanor Mills, at
New Brunswick, N. J„ when the
| State’s star witness, Mrs. Gibson, be
Jcame gravely ill at the hospital where '
she was removed following her col
lapse at the trial. 'The plea of the
prosecution that her testimony be
taken on w-hat may be her deathbed
was denied at least for one day, af- ^
:ter the judge visited the hospital and
the defense counsel protested that
hei condition prevented a rigorous de
fense cross-examination.
Mrs. Gibson, an eccentric, knowm as
the Pig TV oman,” was to have testi
fied to having witnessed the murder
and to having seen Mrs. Hall, widow'
of the slain clergyman, kneeling at
the feet of her dead husbank follow'
ing the shooting.
With both the prosecution and de
fense stunned by the latest develop
ment, Ralph Gorsline, married vestry-^
man and Catherine Rastall, another
choir singer, testified to being present
in a parked and unlighted automobile
near the scene and to having heard
the fatal shots. They failed to iden
tify the murder party, whom the
state charges included Mrs. Hall and
her brothers, Henry and Willie, now
on trial, and a stockholder cousin,
Henry Carpenter.
Mrs. Hall had a complete set of pic
tures taken to prevent the use by
newspapers of snapshots showing her
to be an ugly, scheming woman dur
ing the trial.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8. (£>)—On the*
eve of the trial of Mrs. Hall, her bro
thers Henry and Willie, and their
cousin Henry Carpenter, of the New
York Exchange for the four year old
murder of Rev. Dr. Hall and his choir
singer, Mrs. Mills, the prosecution’s
star witness, Mrs. Gibson, mysterious
ly disappeared. Prosecutor Simpson
was frankly worried at the latest de
velopment which is one of a series of
disappearances and other setbacks
which have beset the prosecution of
the trial for four years.
