Boy Trapper Saves Life By Cutting Telegraph Wires to Newspaper and
 Waiting, Half Frozen, for Line Crew
Lad, Out On Traps, Cannot Start Car-Facing Death In Bitter Cold, He Ships Circuits to Call Help - Aid Arrives In Time.

New York. Dec. F CPt-Last Fri day evening the telegraph printer which raps out Associated Press dispatches in q ticking stream the news room Of the Boise, Idaho, Statesman stopped suddenly and was silent.
 Here IS the routine report ot what happened, as 1t was made to the plant department Of the long lines department ot the American Tele- phone and Telegraph company from which the lines are leased:
 "A. r teletype circuit 7667 de- layed 7:20-8.45 to Statesman, Boise, Idaho, account total line talurc Boise and Pocatello caused by young hunter who was lost. cutting the wlres'
 Story Behind Report
 And here is the story behind that report;
 A l5 year old boy lives with his father and hve morherless brothers and sisters in Boise. The father day laborer has been Iobless for weeks. The boy helps support the family by trapping fur-bearIng ami mals In che woods and selling the belts.
 Once he read III c telephone ad- vertlsemeut that ihe com pany al- ways runs down line trouble, night or day, the instant A wire ceases to function.
 Last Friday night it was dark when he finished setting his traps in the woods. 3U miles from Boise The night was bitterly cold and when the boy got 10 his rickety sec ond hand car. parked in the road nearby the engine wouldn't start.
 Cuts Wires and Waits
 For two hours he worked to turn the motor then, freezing and des- perate. he saw the wires overhead beside the road and remembered that advertisement. He skinned up a pole. cut all the wires, and wait ed.
 Linemen hastening to find the break came upon the lad less than an hour and halt later. They did more than fix the wires. They re- paired the boys car and brought him back 10 Boise.
 There IS d federal law against tampering with wires, but nothing will be done to the young trapper. His ingenuity disconnected the Boise Statesman for an hour or so, but it probably saved his life.

No one whose father vas d trade. merchant or ku- lak Handed peasant) has the slight est chance of being elected 10 the lowest position. much less achieving the seats Of the mighty in the cap ital,
 All One Party
 Tn the elections Of the soviet there are nothing comparab ble with the re- publican and democratic parties of the United States There is only one party in present day Russia. Its principles arc those of the dead Lenin, god of the communists. and the much alive Stalin who. although holding no official post, has wide reputation as the dictator of the re- public.
 The campaign this year. as set forth in all the newspa pers (which 9re controlled by the government and party) has had to do with the popularizing Of socialistic construc- ton as embodied in the famous five year plan: the booming Of Collec- tive farming among the peasants; 1 the cxtermination Of the kulak; fur therance Of the new government loan, and promulga,ion Of the idea ! that war constantly threatens Rus { sia from the invasion of foreign i'm perialsts.
 Urges Criticism
 Izvestia. newspaper mouthpiece for the government, says; The cleo ton campaign must be conducted on the basis Of self-crlticism. | We must disclose the difficulties ot our growth. We must reveal our mistakes. However, we must not al- low our class enemies-thc hulak, priest, speculator, etC,-to replace our 'self-crltlcism' with their 'Criti- cism.' We must draw line Of differ enCe between self-critiCism within the system of proletarian dictator ship and criticism from outside
 The elections Of every village and town will be carefully sCrUtinized by the higher authorities. Election or fcials throughout the country have been cautioned 10 take necessary measures 10 isolate the kulaks and other disfranchsed clements, Spc- cal lists Of persons who. according : 10 the constitution, are deprived of voting rishts-such as kulaks, ex- traders, former arlstocrats, priests must be posted in public places in all villages and towns before the elections are held,

Editors note:-Folloving is the first of two articles written for the United Press by William A. Thom- as, Jr., of Chicago, the 10 year old cabin boy with Commander Donald B. MacMilan's Arctic expedition, now in Iceland. One of the youngest ad- venturcrs ever to visit the far north, he describes his experiences.
 By WILLIAM A. THOMAS, JR.
 Written for the United Press)
 The reason We came 10 Iceland with Commander MacMillan on the Bowdoin was to take Us boys to the celebration and see the country. I have come as cabin hoy, My father is along as doctor There are seven other boys.
 This celebration is for the first thousand years Iceland has had an undisturbed government, You can still see the souvenirs in the win dovs.
 As we approached Iceland in the Bovdoln along the coast we saw many snow covered mountains. If people like scenery. come to Iceland. There are mountains, volcanoes, val leys, plains, water and geysers, A person would want nothing more. One good thing is that you can get many places by auto or else you can go by pony or on foot.
 We were headed for the main town called ReykjayIk. We found Reykjavik to he q plain fishing town with about 26,06d people A good many could speak English so you were not by yourself The people are very polite. and the men raise their hats 10 each other.
 When you are walking or riding in the country you will see lttlo patches Of grass and the rest is rock. f is rock all over the isle and with little grass on top. It is not very often you sec a big field or thick grass or hay. The crops do not get 2 very good grip on the rock, so you can see why there are no trees.
 Hay is Chief Crop
 nay lS lIt DIS crop WILL SpIlt potatoes and some truck farming, They raise sheep on the mountain slopes 4 good deal Of the noun tains are volcanic. After long tnme the volcanic rock gets fertile. or part Of it gets fertile and grass grows and sheep can he raised on the mountain side. There are some cattle and many ponies. They have no fence around the fields so they hobble the horses by tying their front feet together Then they can move around enough 10 graze hut cannot go too far.
 We went on q two day trip to Thingvalla, We saw where 10000 tents were pitched for people who had come 10 the celebration There were big stands where they gave i speeches. We also saw where people had thrown coins in pool for one thousand years for good luck. On the bottom Of the pool you can see the coins, We helped the collection along. There was q drowning pool. When 2 man was sentenced to death they would walk the man of the edge of a cliff with his hands tied behind him. At the bottom was a pool about six feet deep. The man would break his neck in the shallow pool and drown.
