CARIBOU TRAVELLING UP
 YUKON ON SOUTH SHORE
By SAM. 0. WHITE

Game Warden, Fairbanks District
 The following is based on observa- tions of game conditions made on my various trips this fall to date. After the unexpected and fairls heavy July run of caribou on the Steese Highway, there was a very light crossing of caribou during the rest of the season. Reports coming in to date indicate that the caribou are now travelling up the Yukon above Circle on the south shore par allel to the river A good number of caribou are reported in the uppsr Goodpaster and Fortymile.
 Many moose nave been reported as taken by local hunters around Fairbanks. On my trips l have prob ably seen a total of twenty moose. seven of which were bulls Some of the cows and calves were probably seen two or three times. The bulls are easier to identify when seen the second time because of the pc culiarity of their horns.
 Wild Fowl Season Closed
 The duck and goose season closed on September 30. In some of the lakes large rafts of ducks of vari- ous kinds were seen as late as Sc, . tember 25. Cranes, geese and swans were seen passing over each eve ming and one band of nine sw..ns alighted in a lake and stopped over night Quite a few flights of cranes stopped overnight. There was one pair of swans with one offspring that seemed to live at one of the lakes. and was there upon my arriy- al and departure. I did not see tha young swan make any attempt to take to the air, although the pair of adult swans were cruising about between the lakes a good deal The young swan would sit on one Of the lakes by himself all day until the adult pair returned. Studied at close range they are certainly very interesting birds and much larger than one suspects.
 Headed Into Wind
 The pair of adult swans when taking off from the lake always headed into the wind and took plen- ty of space to make the takeoff The noise made by their wings and feet beating the water was unbelieye- able. Their call is a very musical sound resembling a bugle note to some extent and has quite a volume. am told that these birds live to a great age and have only one mate If that mate is killed the surviving mate never mates again. I have seen at different times a few lone swans which may have been left alone in this fashion. There is one , swan that I have seen for several seasons on an island about 20 miles | below Cinema on the Panama. I did not see him this spring on my trip down the river. He was very large bird and was always alone.

Help Organize Steel Men.

NEW YORK, August 81 CP).-The
General Executive Board Of the In
ternational Ladies Garment Workers
Union yesterday voted to assess mem
bers of the union 81 each to help
finance the organizing campaign In
the steel industry.
David Dubinsky, president Of the
union, which claims membership Of
225,000, said an advance payment of
100000 in anticipation of the levy
would be sent Immediately to the
Steel Workers Organizing Committee
in Pittsburgh.

"The recent drive for unionization
Of the workers in the steel industry

ROW IS PROPOSED
Typographical Union Head
Suggests Rank and File
Ballot on Issue.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A rank and file referendum in the
American Federation of Labor's fam
lily quarrel was proposed yesterday
BY Charles P. Howard, president OF
the international Typographical
Union.
:. Unless 10 unions affiliated with the
John L. Lewis Committee for Indus
trial Organization make peace with
the federation's Executive Council
before Saturday, they will be sus-
pended for "insurrection."
These unions are promoting drive
TO bring all the workers in each big
industry into one big union. The
federation Is controlled by group
which holds that all skilled crafts
men, as a rule, should belong to the
union of their craft.
Howard is secretary of the Lewis
committee although his union has
not formally affiliated. When the A.
F. of L. Executive Council voted to
suspend the 10 unions that had joined
the committee, it directed William
Green, federation president, to ask
Howard by what authority he had
participated in the committees work.
Howard Makes Reply.
In his reply, made public by the
Lewis committee, Howard said:
1T is common knowledge that
many members Of your Executive
Council are not required to submit
their official or personal acts directly
to the members of their organization,
as does the president Of the I. T. U.
Under such circumstances, why
the inference that the president of the
I. T. U. has acted in an irregular or
illegal manner?
"If your Executive Council is de-
sirous of learning the attitude Of
those who finance the A. F. Of l.. from
their pay envelopes, would suggest
a referendum upon the question at
issue"
At the same time the Lewis COM
mittee announced that an incom-
plete survey showed that three inter-
national unions, four State federations
VI IdUOl, OO lCl1IL al 4dUOl ul1lOIlo dllO
local unions too numerous to list
had urged the Executive Council to
recall the suspension order.
approved Program.
Eleven State federations, 16 central
bodies and numerous" local unions
previously had approved the Lewis
program, the committee said.
The four State federations protest
ing suspension, the committee said
were Iowa, West Virginia, Wisconsin
and Vermont. Those which favored
the committee program before the
suspension order was issued were
Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Alabama
Georgia. Virginia. Colorado, Nevada
Montana, Wyoming. Kentucky and
Alberta.
Labor men generally expect the
suspension orders to become effective
Saturday, resulting in the loss of good
standing by more than 1,0000 900 men,
bers of the 10 unions affiliated with
the committee. Suspension Of these
unions, however, requires a two
thirds vote Of federation conven-
ton. The next. on November 16, will
be at Tampa, Fla.

STARVATION VICTIM
STILL UNIDENTIFIED
Woman Who Died in Baltimore
Believed Resident of D. c.
or New York.

Baltimore and Washington police
sought today to learn the identity of
q woman about As, thought to be a
resident Of this city, who died in a
Baltimore hospital yesterday Of star
vation and exhaustion.
The woman was found, semi-con-
scious, in a rooming house near the
Baltimore water front Saturday. She
was on the floor, unclothed, with only
a sheet over her.
Hours Of police questioning de-
veloped only that her first name was
Nellie. Police said her surname might
be MARCEL or Marcina and that she
was believed to have been resident
of the District or of New York City.
The landlord Of the rooming house
in which the woman was found could
say only that he had rented the room
to a man named Jim from West
minister, Md. The man could not be
located and other roomers could not
recall having seen him recently.
A slip Of paper found in the room
bore the name of an officer or en-
ploye of a New York shipping con-
cern. This was the only clue police
had.

CHICAGO, August 3l.-Roland
Munroe, 15-year-old choir boy, main
tanned an unruffled calm today as
officials studied his confession to the
hammer Staying Of crippled widow
in robbery that yielded So worth Of
jewelry.
Assistant States Attorney Richard
Devine said the red-haired prisoner
confessed last night he beat Mrs.
Agnes Roffeis. 65, to death Saturday
night at her home.
The prosecutor quoted the youth as
observing without rernorse:
Il don't think they'll convict me,
though. I'm too young"
Devine said the boy apparently held
the belief he had committed "per-
feet crime" but after four hours OF
questioning declared:
well, I'll tell you. She died partly
by accident and killed her because
I didn't want her to suffer"
Fell to Floor Without Cane.
Munroe related how he went to
Mrs. RoffeiS apartment to collect for
newspapers he had delivered. She
brought out box containing an old
watch, several rings and cross and
sought his advice about selling them.
She suddenly rose from a sofa and,
attempting to walk without her cane,
fell to the floor.
The prosecutor quoted him as say
ing:
While she lay there the thought
entered my mind that if knocked

on the head. The third time I missed.
The hammer hit the floor and the
handle broke. Then ! grabbed her
cane and hit her five or six times

The prisoner was quoted as saying
he went to the home of an old gold
buyer to sell the loot-valued at So

Sanity Test Possible.
The reason he wanted the money,
Devine said, was for show and
things"
Devine expressed tn opinion Munroe
could be tried in the criminal court
and that the death penalty could be
imposed. 1t may first be necessary,
he added, to arrange sanity test.
His parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Roland
Monroe, sr., disclosed the prisoner
had recently been examined by
psychiatrist because he had been
acting queerly." No report on the
case had been returned, however.
Police learned young Munroe had
been regarded as reticent by his high
school teachers. He sang in the
junior choir at church. but devoted
much of his time to reading lurid
crime fiction. Investigators said he
admitted association with a youthful
band engaged in petty thievery.

PARIS, August 31.-Minister Of De-

by methodical reinforcement, would
keep its army ''the solid buckler of

Daladier, speaking just after Ger

claimed his potential fighting strength
to be 100000 men, informed Inspec-
tor Gen. Edward Rydz-Smigly of Po-

of a luncheon at the war ministry,

His conversations with French lead
ers were believed directed toward con-
solidation of military and economic
ties between the two countries, Ger
many's eastern and western neigh
bors.
Gen. Rydz-Smigly arrived yesterday
to return the recent visit Of Gen. Ga
melin to Warsaw.
The Polish Army chieftain deposited
a wreath on the unknown soldiers
tomb, where he was greeted by Gen.
Henri Gouraud, military governor OF
Paris. He also reviewed Republican
Guard detachment.
France, although jubilant over what
it considered to be Poland's shift from
Germany to a stronger French al
lance, nevertheless feared a sudden
move in the opposite direction by Ru-
! mania.
Ousting Of Titulescu.
Disquietude over the custer OF
Nicolas Titulescu, Rumanian foreign
minister and friend of France" was
voiced in several quarters. Alarm was
expressed lest the move mark the be-
ginning of strong German era In
Rumania, especially priced as an ally
because of its oil reserves.
France still is tied to Rumania
through her Little Entente alliances,
but evidence of lessened fervor on the
part of Rumania has been apparent
for several months.
Both Poland and Rumania were de-
scribed as seeking to avoid any en-
tanglement with the Soviets, and Rydz-
Smigly was expected to inquire how
France intends to aid Poland against
either Germany or Russia. He made
brief calls on Premier Leon Blum and
Foreign Minister Yvon Delbos.
The Poles were reported so anxious
to avoid obligating themselves to
Russia that a plan was believed under
consideration by which they would
obtain Soviet raw materials through
the French.
