Warren Fer guson member of the firm of Ferguson Bros. who operate trad ing posts, fur farms and lighter age plants in Kotzebue Sound, Selawick and up the Kobuk Riv9 CT, says that the Bureau of Air Commerce recently notified them permitting the use of a newly purchased Robin cabin plane, to hunt wolves in.
 The authorization, said Mir Ferguson came from Washing ton, D. C., following considerable correspondence, and a test of the newest method of eradicating this predatory animal in northern AL aska, which has developed into a serious threat to the reindeer industry, and the source of food and clothing to the Eskimos.
 Recently a newspaper story in the Nugget told of the experience of Archie Ferguson, another broth CT, in shooting down three big wolves, while enroute on a flight from Fairbanks to Kotzebue, the northern base of the Ferguson Airways, which has as a pilot Maurice King.

Governor Frank Murphy Again Give Credit for
 Performing Service

(By The Associated PreSs)
 LANSING, Michigan April 7, Governor Frank Murphy an- nounced last evening that an ag- reement had been reached in the Chrysler automotive strike. and brings about a complete settle ment.
 The agreement provides for re- cognition by the Chrysler corpora tion of the United Automobile Workers of America as the sole collective bargaining agency, and of it's employees and members by the firm.
 The union, claiming fifty nine thousand of the sixty seven thou sand Chrysler employees were members, asked for the sole bar gaining rights when it called the strike March 9th, when this de- mand was rejected.
 It also provided that the cor poration would not aid, promote, or finance any group or any oth- CT union which might undermine the JAVA.
 In return the Union ledged it would call no sitdoWn strikes nor permit its members to engage in any in ChrysAer plants during the term of the contract which extends from March 3st on.
 Negotiations will open April 9th to arrive at supplementary agreement disposing of issues not treated in the preliminary settle ment.
 The corporation promised to re- open their closed plants and re- employ the men as rapidly as possible.
 The employees on strike were

to return to their usual work without discrimination being us ed against them for participation in the strike.
 The sett tlement affected eighty five thousand men who have been out of work since the strike began.
 It was described as one of the greatest victories for John L. Lew is, leader of the Committee for Industrial Organization, of which the United Automobile Workers of America was an affiliate.

 SAN DIEGO, April :, - Four naval tliers plunged to their death in the sea after two fast scout bombing planes, carrying live bombs, collided headon while en gagged in maneuvers over the fleet dr!i. grounds, forty miles off shore.
 They were carried to their death in the tangled wreckage.
 Killed were Lieut.. Joseph J. Loughlin of Long Beach, Harry M Bradley of San Diego Mach insts Mate, John Joseph Carney ehief mate.
 Although officially denied by Commander A. w. Radford, more than eight sailors among liberty parties gave vivid descriptions of the explosion.
 They said the two ships were loaded with live bombs. From the deck of the aircraft carrier Lexington they took off in order. About a mile from the ship one of the planes appeared to side slip into the other. They hit with a splintering and grinding crash like a thunder clap.
 A cloud of black smoke obscur ed them for a second and then the planes plummeted down, green and yellow flames shooting from their sides.
 Bradley had been in the navy for more than l9 years and had only a few more week 10 go be- fore retirement.

TOOTHPICK TOPICS
BY c. C. FLINT


Some Of my Key West friends
who have heard of a New Eng
land conscience" might like a de-
finition. The dictionary says that
conscience is "a sense of RICH"
and the New England brand is that
plus the strength Of will to live up
to it. This is the story of man
who lived up to his New England
tradition, proving its worth-and
his, tho it broke his heart.
A young man sat at his desk, III
the Massachusetts House of Rep
resentatives, fresh from a small
town law office. He was eager to
win honors and inspired with his
obligation to his constituents. An
old fox among the legislators, no
ticing the deal of the new arrival.
invited his signature to a bill OPP
posed to a presidential third term,
to be proposed to Congress. The
young man read, approved and
signed the document-which was
never acted upon.
! Years after, the man who had
set his name on paper as opposed
to a third term, was himself Presi-
dent of the United States. His
ambition had not grown less with
the years and prosperity had fol
lowed him in office.
His enemies dug up the signed
document, thinking to use it as q
lever for power. They did not
not reckon on the New England
conscience OF the man in the
White House. He might have
been elected to a third term. He
was urged to run; some thought to
draft" him for office. But he
had given his carefully considered
word on the subject, years ago.
and his word was good. His reply
to his friends was regarded as
mysterious then. but time has
made the meaning of it clear.
He simply said. 81 do not choose
to run" In those words died his
ambition, and death took a step
closer.

They parted abruptly. Before he
had taken 20 steps, Neill looked
longingly over his shoulder. But
Janet was still marching ahead,
eyes front, and he scoWled and
kept on. A second after he had
looked, Janet looked over her
shoulder, all ready to run to meet
him, but NELL was looking ahead
then and she kept on. Neither
would look again.

thing clear to him was that he
must Immediately make good his
words that Prescott Tanning was
a crook. Where could he find out
something about him? Neill was
not well acquainted in Baltimore.
Janet had let fall two names. The
first was Horace Kettering. Neill
turned into the first drug store he
came to and looked up the tele-
phone number of Kettering's Of
flee. He was too late: They told
him that Mr.. Kettering had left
for the day. Neill then called up
his house in the suburb of Guild
ford but with no better luck. Mr..

/ Kettering was not expected home
to dinner.
The other man Janet had men
toned was the manager of a well
known hotel. Not difficult to get
hold of him. Neill entered the
marble lined lobby of the Cecil
Calvert and asked at the desk for
Mr.. Bromley.
He's in the bar if you don't

clerk.
Neill didn't mind. It was easy
to pick out Mr.. Bromley where he
stood in the bar with a group of
| friends, because with his immacu-
late grooming ana his air of good
fellowship he looked like nothing
in the world but hotel manager.
It occurred to Neill that he had
better conceal his hand in this
matter, so he ordered a drink and
watched his opportunity.
Presently Mr.. Bromley strolled
