WASHINGTON; Aug. 30.
Officialnotlfieation of the killing
of the Italian members of the
Greco-Albanian frontier delimita
tion mission and the steps' taken
by Italy in asking of the Greek gov
ernment immediate reparations
and punishment of the guilty was
given orally as a matter of infor
mation to the state department to
day by the Italian embassy, acting
upon instructions ,from Premier
Mussolini. r" v:
The Italian charge is understood
to have said in , substance that
Greece morally was responsible for
the assassinations attd that the
Italian requests i made upon
Greece represent a minimum ade
quate to the -satisfaction due Italy.
In ' Greek! official t circles here
the view was said to be held that
since the murders were not com
mitted on Greek soil. Creek courts
had no jurisdiction . and that an
adjustment should be ? reached
short of extreme measures. f '
Although official comment was
withheld, the ; Amef lean- expecta
tion is understood to be, one of
hopefulness that a satisfactory ar
rangement will be reached without
resort to arms. . , ,
Evidence Asked ' : " 5
The Greek legation in a state
ment based upon a dispatch from
Athens, declared that its "govern
ment denies the statement that
the crime was committed under
eyes of the , Greek ? authorities"
adding the demands contained in
the Italian note are particularly
humiliating - and Ht Is ; not even
known that. the assassins were
Greeks." -v

statement continued. wM be glad?

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 0t How
ever much President Harding maj
have been impressed before going-
to Alaska with the need of c
general reorganization of the fed
eral activities there,' he came away
after his visit very definitely oi
the opinion that such suggestions
were not well considered, Secre
tary ' Wallace of the department
of agriculture declared ; today in
a statement relative to the Alas
kan situation. '
"President Harding did not find
any justification for the charger
of muddling or mismanagement of
public business by the federal
agencies in Alaska," said Mr.
Wallace. ''Neither did he find
that the Alaskans j themselves
took any stock in such stories.
He found the .various departments
of the government doing exactly
the same kinds of work in Alaska
that they are doing , in the 48
states. . His speech on Alaska,
(made at his last formal, appear
ance before the public at Seattle
on July 27) was a vigorous pres
entation of detaite opinions, based
on accurate knowledge and Inves
tigation at f irst hand and it ought
to put an end once and for all to
the agitation which has been so
hurtful to Alaska." !
