SEWARD. Alaska. May 9—(U.P) —Sixty seven famUies of the Mat-anuska valley federal colony transferred their dogs, children, and household belongings from the transport St. Mihiel to Alaska railroad trains tonight, preparing for the final phase of their migration from mid-west drought areas to untilled Alaska fields.
The colonists will reach Anchorage tomorrow in time to be feted at an “all Alaska” dinner consisting of bear “beef.” huge salmon steaks, flesh of the hillbird obtained by crossing the Siberian Yak with domestic cattle, early fresh vegetables from Matanuska valley and other dishes.
From Anchorage they will continue by train to Palmer, near which they will settle in tent cities erected by the advance guard of
CCC workers. Later each family
wili draw lots for 40 acre tracts and permanent residences will be built before fall.
The transient workers today were grading streets and laying drainage facilities in the valley. Wells, to supply pure, cold water, were dug.
Work of the colony in the fertile Matanu&a. as one Alaskan put it, will begin the change of Alaska from the “land of the tin can” to a garden spot of fresh vegetables and fruits.
The newcomers were a bit disturbed in sleeping by the long hcurs of sunlight. The sun does not set until nearly 10 pjn., and climbs over the eastern mountains again at 4 ajn. Days will continue to lengthen until June 21. when there will be only four hours between sunset and sunrise in the Matanuska.

Amazons To Handle Polls; Instructions for Balloting Announced by Jones
As the cloud of smoke arising from the most heated political campaign ever seen on the S. C. campus began to bio waway, Trojan students today discovered that the tumult and the shouting was part of the procedure of electing a president of the Associated Students to serve during the coming year.
The question before the students today was whether Eames Bishop or Dick Parker will be the new executive to fill the number one office of the A.S.U.S.C. A flurry of charges and counter-charges from the two opposing camps will probably be forgotten as 2.200 registered voters decide which man they wish to lead them next year.

ROME. May 9 — <U.P) — Premier Benito Mussolini, aroused at reports friendly nations are permitting sale of large supplies of arms and ammunition to Abyssinia, is making strong “representations” to the governments of countries involved, it was announced today.
The names of the countries to which the protest, or inquiry, is being addressed were not officially divulged. However, the semi-official Giomale D'ltalia commented:
“The Italian government knows the names of those supplying Abyssinia with arms and the quantity supplied.
“The intermediaries in this arms traffic likewise are known to the government . . . Italy’s friendship is conditional on the attitude of each country in connection with the future supplying of arms to Ethiopia.
“The world knows the worth of Italy’s friendship.”
The increasing seriousness of the war threat in East Africa was indicated by a report filed by Deputy Biagio Pace, accompanying the foreign office budget submitted to the chamber today. He says:
“Italy cannot remain indifferent before the bloody incidents (on the Abyssinia-Italian Somaliland border) which, unless faced adequately, would seriously endanger the integrity of both Eritrea and Somaliland.”

Pipeline Taxation Passed By California’s Assembly
SACRAMENTO. May 9— (U.P) — Taxation of oil and gas pipelines at the rate of $40,000,000 a biennium, proration of agricultural production and changes in the method of determining public utility rates were approved by the assembly today as the lower house passed a series of highly controversial bUls.
Charging that the major oil companies held a monopoly on pipelines, Assemblyman John O’Donnell, Woodland, successfully urged pasage of his bill which would tax the pipelines or give them an alternative of becoming common carriers under jurisdiction of the state railroad commission.
“This bill will prevent any monopoly and provide regulation of over 4.000 miles of oil pipelines. If the oil companies insist on their monopoly, then they should pay a tax. They can become common carriers and still make a reasonable profit," O’Donnell said.
Assemblyman T. H. Delap, El Cerrito, leading the fight against the bill, insisted the measure was not intended for revenue purposes. | "The independent oil companies
of southern California are asking you to stullify yourselves to use your power of taxation for their benefit,” he told the assembly.
Answering this opposition, Assemblyman S. L. Heisinger, Fresno, said that there were four reasons why Delap was against the bill. He listed these reasons as “the Standard, the Shell, Union and Associated oil companies.”
The bill was passed 49 to 24.
Immediately following passage of this measure. Assemblyman Frank J. Waters, Los Angeles, asked approval of his measure to tax natural gas pipelines.
“In San Francisco, where the pipslines are regulated by the railroad commission, the cost of gas to consumers is 54 cents per 1,000 cubic feet. In Los Angeles where the pipelines are not regulated, the cost is 80 cents,” Waters said.
After Assemblyman Delap had voiced brief oposition to this bill on the ground it was also an example of using taxation to force regulation, the measure was passed, 52 to 24.
fices, Draxy Trengove will be unopposed on the ballot for the position of vice-president. Betty Keeler and Mary Todd are nominees for the office of secretary, and Ed Hallock and Harry Ledell are the only candidates for yell-king.
