SECESSION CIO .LONCSHOREMEN FORECAST TODAY
Delegates Gathered for AFL Council of War;
 See Break

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20. = A major break, possibly the seces- sion of thousand longshoremen of the CIO, was forecast by various delegates gathered for the AFL Council of War"
 AFL organizers said the Council was called to consolidate Longshore- men, Warehousemen and Teamsters under the AFL. The National Labor Relations Board in Washington said it wouldn't enter in an immediate dispute here between CIO teamsters over the control of warehousemen.
 The CIO spokesman said the AFL probably would get a few delegates, some locals who don't like CIO or Bridges"
 However, he added, they will get no where because longshoremen voted by referendum to join CIO, standing by that course when the Board ruled that longshoremen rep resented the majority of warehouse men.

A rebellion among a certain group of Matanuska colonists against sending their children to the Wa silla school has broken out in Pal mer and Commissioner of Education A. E. Karnes is in that city trying to bring about a peaceable agree ment, according to word received by the Commissioners office today.
 According to school district lines children of the parents in what is known as Camps Two and Four on the colony project are not in Pal mer school district but Wasilla dis trict and last year attended the Wasilla school without protest, il was revealed at the Commissioners office. But for some reason which has not yet been discovered, the parents in Camps Two and Four decided this year to take their chil- dren to the Palmer school which is reported already overcrowded.
 Turn Down Free Buses
 Free bus transportation had been provided for the Wasilla school as well as for Palmer and additional teachers had been put on at Wasil- Ia to care for what was estimated to be an enrolment of 67 this year When school actually started Prin- cipal Williams Klockensteger of Wa silla reported that g pupils came to school, the parents taking the rest of them to Palmer in their own machines.
 In the meantime, Superintendent H. L. Thuma at Palmer was getting more pupils than he could get with in the building and so notified the school authorities.
 Several weeks before school start ed. l3 families in Camps Two and Four sent petition to the Con- missioner of Ed u cations office which said that they had decided to send their children to Palmer this season. No reason for the de- cision was given, and, in the mean time, school authorities had created more facilities at Wasilla.
 PrOtesters
 Signing the petition were MT. and Mrs. Ed LaValley with four chil- dren; MT. and Mrs. Fred Larson, three children; MT. and Mrs. Henry Jensen, three children of pre-school age; MT. and Mrs. Edward Moss, two pre-school children; MT and Mrs. Otto Nelson, three children; MT. and Mrs. John Church, three children; MT. and Mrs. James John- ston, one pre-school; Robert Klein, fom' children; MT. and Mrs. Frank Bruckbauer, five children; MT. and Mrs. Allen Sexton, four children; MT. and Mrs. John Johnson, two pre-school; MT. and Mrs. Harold Dinkel, two school and three pre- school; MT. and Mrs. Arnold R.

 FEELS PLIERS WILL BE FOUND
Leo Khvat, Pravda Avia- ton Expert, Tells
 Why in Juneau

Convinced that the six lost trans polar airmen are still living, the Russian Government will not stint money in the Arctic search, Leo Khvat, aviation editor for the Prav- da, told The Empire today.
 They will spend one million dol lars-or five million dollars--to find them.' he declared. We think and we hope-they are safe"
 MT. Khvat, who has been on the ground floor of search activities in Fairbanks, arrived here Sunday by PAA Electra enroute to Moscow, via Seattle, Washington. D. C., and New York. He will sail south on the steamship Alaska Tuesday morn- ing
 With the aid of Frank Karabelni- koff. who speaks Russian fiuently. MT. Khaat informed The Empire of the underlying facts behind the Soviet governments confidence, in an interview at the Gastineau Ho- tel. where the Soviet journalist is staying
 Signals are Heard
 Ten days after the plane went down, on August 25," he pointed out. faint communications were heard in Moscow on the same kilocycle to which the fliers would broadcast. This gives rise to the belief that the men are sase but that they cannot get enough power on their trans hitter to send messages to the outer world.
 Tn our previous experience we have found-and so have fliers of other nations--that ice seems to have a weakening effect on radio sets, crippEng them for sending mes- sages but enabling them to receive. Realizing this. messages telling about the search avtivities are sent daily from Moscow for the special benefit of the fliers. so they will know we have not abandoned them.
 Then again. when they left they had full provisions for six weeks. However, seeing they were down. they could easily stretch this food out to last several months. They

 LAST REPORTS

 Once from Aklavik

EDMONTON, Sept. 20. - The possibility that Sir Hu- bert Wilkins has crashed in a blind landing near Aklavik, Northwest Territories, is seen by Capt. May, Canadian Air ways District Superintendent.
 This impression prevails as the result of a radio from Pi- lot Arthur Rankin, now at Ak lavik.
 Pilot Rankin said Sir Hu- bert's radio faded out just af- ter the explorer-flier said he was going to try and make n landing somewhere on the Mackenzie River Delta.
 Wilkins has been missing since yesterday afternoon.
 Capt. May has wired Stef- ansson, of New York City, of- fering to send Pilot Rankin to search for Wilkins after the weather clears.

GLENCOVE, N. Y, Sept. 20. = William Loeb, Jr., 72, who rose from a professional stenographer to Bus mess Executive and Vice-President of the American Smelling and Re- fining Company, is dead at his home here as the result of pneu- monia. He was best known as the private secretary to Theodore Roosevelt.
 The chance to get somewhere came to William Loeb, Jr., actually by opportunity knocking at his door"
 In his case, however. the door of opportunity was opened for him and he was called in.
 How it Happened
 The incident, as related, occurred during the early days of the Ad- ministration of Theodore Roosevelt as Governor of New York. At that time the capital at Albany was not so well supplied with stenograph- CTS, especially expert ones, as in la ter years.
 One day, as the story goes, Cover nor Roosevelt had some stenograph- ic work to be done on an import ant matter and wanted 1t done quickly. Tn the corridor outside the Governors private office number of newspapermen and others were gathered, waiting for something to turn up.
 Wanted
 Suddenly the door opened. The Governor, addressing no one in par ticular, actually shouted, Send me in a good stenogsapher," putting emphasis on good" The office door banged with the strenous effort put behind the closing of it.
 The stenographers in the gath ering retreated. one after another,

INDIANS ARE DROPPED OFF
 TRIBAL ROLLS
Then Fight Starts Before Commission for Reinstate-
 ment Some Cases
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. = One lof the things can happen to an Indian in this day of enlightened treatment of the redman is to be left off the tribal roll.
 Offhand that would sound like being expelled from the D.A.R. or the Elks but to an Indian it is a cash proposition, not sentimental. The Indians on the tribal roll re- ceive dividends from tribal prop erty. In many tribes the com munity kitty runs into millions and the income buys much gasoline and many blankets.
 In other tribes the property has already been divided among the members, but those off the roll would like to get on because it would give them at least sem blance of a claim against the gov- ernment for not being cut in.
 
 TAKE MIR. FIX, NOW
 A sample is the case of Robert Fix, who claims to be descend ant of Choctaw Indians. He and his family were left off the rolls and he is quite frank in stating that he wants to be on so as the share the tribal bounty.
 Fix was a lad of about high school age when, in 1907, Gov ernment Commission held a hearing to determine who were Choctow Indians and so entitled to division of the tribal property. The Fix family was left off for failure to

M, N, Plorpont, local milk pro: ducor. .dealer, hos declared himself ungatISfied with statistical repofte given out by MIX AdministFator 2, McIean Buckingham, the reports bejng based on two independent sur. Veys conducted for the commission. or other producers and dealers agreed, stating that the reports aad- ed little or nothing to what they already knew about the cost of milk production and distribution.
 MT. Buckingham contends the' cost figures justify present schod' ,lles of milk prices. He did not make Any cost data public.
 Administrator Buckingham clung to hig position that the dealer cost figures were confidential and not to be published. He said he had not vet received any written report from Samuel W. Tator, under whom the dealer survey waS conducted ano that MT. TatoF's figure "of average distrlbution costs, given the pros ducerS and dealers ct the meeting FTiday was merely tentative.
