President Roosevelt, he added, is
working long hours over his pro
gram and the remarkable showing
made by him since his inaugura
tion has revitalized the entire coun
try. From coast to coast, the rank
and file of Americans recognize
his masterly leadership and their
conlldence in him has given them
self-confidence. Congress, too, has
supported him loyally, but if the
time should come when it fails to
do so, he has only to appeal to
the country at large to remedy its
defection, Mr. Morton said.

Alaska and until he was forced to
entsr a hospital for an operation
recently was getting many things
done. His ability is already recog
nized by many members of Con
gress, and he has made many
friends there for himself and the
Territory, Mr. Morton said.
Hurja Gets Position
E. Emil Hurja, former Alaska
newspaperman and one time Secre
tary to late Delegate Charles A.
Sulzer, was recently appointed ef
ficiency expert on the Reconstruc
tion Finance Corporation, accord
ing to Mr. Morton. During the na
tional campaign last year, he was
attached to headquarters as a mem
ber of the statistical division of
the National Campaign Committee.
He made a splendid record there.
Mr. Hurja last visited Juneau some
two years ago.
Regarding his own chance for
appointment and confirmation, Mr.
Morton was modest. He said his
application along with those of the
others of the Alaska slate had been
approved by Mr. Farley and sub
mitted to the Department of Jus
tice. It, apparently, has been
approved there. When it will be
submitted to President Roosevelt
and by him to the Senate depends
to a large extent on the progress
made with the emergency legisla
tive program.
