V.-tP) Territorial Treasurer Henry Ro den said Tuesday that a $1,000,000 loan which he negotiated for Alaska has failed and his an nouncement brought immediate and conflicting statements as to the reason. Roden, In a 600-word statement j to all Alaska newspapers, charg--ed that the failure to complete! the loan was brought about by! entrenched business Interests which used "legalistic skulldug gery" In the hope of "bringing! Alaska to Its knees ..." i In Anchorage, however, Elmer Rasmuson, president of the Sank , of Alaska, said he had received j a telegram from J. F. Mullen, Juneau banker, saying the can cellation resulted from a discov ery that territorial indebtedness ' is $2,500,000 Instead of $1,000,000 : and that it will "progressively : mount throughout the year. In Seattle, K. Windslow Jr, manager of the Seattle Trust and Savings bank, said he had "no comment other than to confirm the statement made by Mr. Mul len." Treasurer Roden charged that unnamed "industries" seek to force the territory to hold a spe cial legislative session to modify or repeal existing tax laws and enact a sales tax. Roden went to Seattle early this month to negotiate for the purchase of $1,000,000 worth of outstanding territorial warrants. At the conclusion ol nis session he announced that he had ar ranged a $1,000,000 loan. c Cats, Other Animals Crash Big News Stories, But Dogs Get Uncooperative By ED CREACH NEW YORK, Aug. 17. UPt These may be dog days but the dogs are- dogging it. There hasn't been a grade A, all dolled up-wlth pictures dog story In the papers since Hector was a pup. And this (you should pardon the expression) is a doggone shame. When I was breaking inio the newspaper business, shortly after the battle of Chickamauga, a wise If watery-eyed old city editor told me "Bub, If you want people to read what you write, remember this: "One weather story equals two society divorces, and one good dog story will beat any weather story that ever came down the pike. ' This worthy man later died of a pickled liver, but his advice still seems sound to me. The only trouble is, the dogs aren't cooperating. Cats get into the news. So do elephants and monkeys. Even fish are spiasning tneir way into ine headlines, to say nothing of some publicity hungry birds that have been loitering hopefully around newspapermen's hangouts. But dogs? Except for Popo, the wire haired terrier, they've turned as camera-shy as a movie blonde with two black eyes. You remember Popo. He showed up only last Sunday, swimming bravely In the general direction of Ireland. He was nine miles off the main coast when a tuna fish ing boat hauled him aboard, pret ty well poohed. Popo's story was that he had fallen off a yatcht, but nobody be lieved him. Obviously, he was out for glory as a trans-Atlantic swim mer. And it was good to know that one pup, In these decadent days, still had some get-up-and-go. Cats, now they're performing all over the place. First there was that mouser aboard the British warship Ame thyst. He got a real, honest-to- George military decoration for holding the rats at bay while the Amethyst was bottled up by the Chinese reds. Then there was Klkl. He went the Amethyst cat one better by f jetting bottled up himself. Came n on the liner Atlantic reeking of strong drink, walking with un steady dignity, hiccoughing as he purred. "Kikl just loves cocktails," con fided his proprietor, Mrs. Wini fred Hunter of the U. S. embassy at Madrid. "He'll go for a Man hattan, a Martini, anything. Car ries it like a gentleman, too; he's never had but one hangover." Yes, all the beasts are getting into the act. There's Mickey, the New York STILL BOY SCOUT AT S7 PAR, England (AP) Dan Chapman believes in the motto, "Once a boy scout, always a hoy scout." Dan claims to be the oldest scout in the world. He's 87. He still leads Par Troop 1 on 10-mlle hikes. He founded the troop and be came its scoutmaster back in 1908, the year after the scout movement itself was started. monkey that wipes the dishes alter every meal. Just like a hus band. Mickey also hangs out the window and gives pretty girls a big hello. Just like a . Well, of course, there was Grady, the cow that eot caueht in the silo. And Bimbo, the midget elephant that died of pneumonia, poor little guy. And Booger, the Rhode Island red that hangs around the Hialeah bar in Miami, mooching cigarets. And there was that fish ud at Hydaburg, Alaska, that was found to have a bottle of sherry un openedin its stomach. And f isn stones 7 Not me I'm a doe story man, myself.
