 villages the opportunity has been given to but . few white men to visit them.
 The meager amount of fur taken by these people means but little in their livelihood, especially consider ing the excessive prices charged by traders in this section. Their diet for theNmost part consists of seal meat and needle fish. During the summer months they go to the Kuskokwim river to fish, but then they take only only such fish as they consume dur ing the summer, for should they take more than they can use at the time, according to their superstitions, the fish will not run the following sea- son. During the fall months the neede fish come. Then theirsdiet con- sists of needle fish and seal oil until the spring sealing opens., It can readily be seen that the. failure .of any one of these fishing or hunting seasons would spell famine and. pos sibiy starvation for tthese people, There is only, ane solution to, the de- plorahle condision4in which these peo- pie are. forced to live. Thatrssolution involves unliraiteds governmental aid from. the standpoint of food, clothing and ilnmoved, dwellings,.
 ~' A .deceat cabin is. 1,an;- unknown thing to the people of this coastal section.s Their dwellings,. are small, filthy holes underground in which the white men would hesitate to keep hogs. let it is not uncommon to find as many as eight and ten living in one of these ax12 novels. The ab- sence of good cabins in these villages is not ;dues to a.lack of enterprise on the part of the>native, but to lack of building materials. In thiss couh- try, where there is not even a sprig of vegetation, not even drift log, there is naught the native can do but build his home of sod and earth, the only things available. for that pur- pose.
 In this. coastal section between the mouth of the ;:Kuskokwim river and the mouth of the Yukon, river there ives approximately 5000 native pco- De. All of these people, except in the villages of Quigillingok, Taunak and Hooper Bay, where the Office of Education supports schools and med ical work. live in the most. primitixe condition Their world extends. hard 'fy 30 miles, from their doeryard and they fear to leave, ther4 homes for any great distance, thinking they will never return Their children, grow up, as serfs of thes parents, and the orphans are veritable slaves, doing all the work, the fshinv and hunting, for the support of the family. :. During the coming summde. .a. school will. be constructed at. the village of Chee- chingamute. This will. be an. enter ing wedge in the program of bringing enlightenment to these people. but without ample aid in the. way of clothing, food and building material

URGES HOOVER
CUT TARIFF TO
REPAY FAVOR
Democrats Deserve Hand
for War Debts Aid,
SAYS Robinson.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, July g. Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover was called on
today to repay Democratic support
for his debt suspension plan by ad-
vocating a reduction of the Hawley-
Smoot tariff rates. Senator Joseph
T. Robinson of Arkansas, minority
leader in the senate, made the Sug-
gestion in a statement issued
through the Democratic national
committee.
Democrats, he said, waived par
tianship and thereby Smoothed the
way" for the debt plan.
Nov, has not the time arrived
for the President equally to rise to
an opportunity and back-pedal on
his insistence on tariff bill which,
in the minds of most economists,
largely is responsible not only for
the depression in domestic business
because of the slaughter it involved
our export and import trade, but
which foreign statesmen hold has
had a great influence in the in
dustrial and commercial distress OF
their own countries?"
Such action by the President,
Robinson said, would "show that he
is as courageous and as patriotic
and as concerned with the welfare
of the average American as are his
political adverSarieS.

ID ETENTION of control Of Mar
IN ion county in the Twelfth dis
trtct and that section of the county
included in the new Eleventh dis
trict is the avowed intent of the
regular Republican or Coffin or
ganization here, it definitely was
learned today.
Notice has been served on Sen
htor James E. Watson by officials
of the G. o. p. organization here
that any attempts of insurgents in
arvington to seize the reins there
will be viewed with the utmost dis
favor.
Especially repugnant to the or
ganization heads will be any aid
gi-en Bert Morgan, president of the
Irvington Republican Club and
Joint campaign manager for Cover
nor Leslie, in his efforts to become
Eleventh district chairman, Watson
was told
To permit Morgan or any other
figure not identified with the Coffin
organization to become district
chairman would be dealing a death
blow to that groups control of the
county machine the regulars" well
know.
Under the reorganization plan
agreed to by Schuyler Haas, pres
ent Seventh district chairman, at a
conference recently with Eliza o.
Rogers, state chairman, the precinct
committeeman in that part of the
county lying within the Eleventh
will elect a representative and an
assistant to sit in on the district re-
organization meeting to name a
chairman.
If Coffin succeeds in re-electing
his precinct committeeman the pair
will be his adherents.
Morgan, it is asserted, has been
building up strength in Hancock
end Madison counties, the two other
parts of the Eleventh, with view to
being named the chairman.
His friends contends that mas
much as Bert Vestal of Anderson
expects to be renominated by the
G. o. P. for congress, a Marion

county man should be district chief
Coffin adherentS, using the same
argument, declare the chairman
must be one of the regular organi-
cation boys"
II the east side should come I'M
der the control of an avowed enemy
the primary applicant, always the
source of Coffin strength, would be
upset, because the precinct commit
teemen there would look to the dis
trict chairman, representing them,
and not the county chairman, for
information and guidance.
So Watson was told, if not in so
many words then in SUBSTANCE, "We
have got to name the next Eleventh
district chairman. If not, it will be
an easy matter for the heavily pop
ulated portion of the county within
the boundaries of the Eleventh to
nominate the next Republican con-
gressional candidate, and it won't be
Nine Vote Bert Vestal.
OF course, it must be remem-
bered that Morgan is very popular
in Irvington; that Hancock and
Madison counties have a four votes
in the district meeting to Marion
county's two, and that if named
chairman, Morgan also could keep a
Marion county man from defeating
Vestal for the nomination.
It's a poor rule that won't work
both ways.
