Japan Protests Use Of Soyiet's
 Planes in War

MOSCOW, April 5, (PD-Japan protested to Russia against the military assistance, she alleged that the Soviets are lending China. Mamoru Shigemitsu, Ja- pans Ambassador, warned Soviet Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lit vinoff that the Russians will have to assume the responsibility of consequences if such aid is con- tinued.
 Japan based her protest on the shooting down of a Soviet plane near Ranking, the two bodies found being Russians. The Sov- jet bomber was shot down near Wuhu last month when two of the occupants were killed and one captured alive and identified as Mikhael Donin. He is quoted as telling Japanese officers that he left Leningrad last October, when more than ten Soviet fliers left for Hankow via Chinese Tur- kestan.

Half Million For Reindeer Purchase Is Approved
Alaska Natives
 To Be Made
 Self Supporting g

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 5, (P-The U. s. Senate approved without a record vote the propo- sal to appropriate one half mill ion dollars to purchase aQ white owned reindeer herds in Alaska, as part of a program to establish 1'self sustaining economy among the natives. The item was an amendment to the Interior De- partnent's appropriation bill.
 Senator McKellar objected to the proposal contending that the government would be using mon ey to buy reindeer 1t already owned, and urged instead, that the Senate approve the fifty thou sand dollar House appropriation for an investigation of the deer and property, proposed to be ac- quired under the authorization act which was approved last Sep ternber, which Act authorized ap- propriations totaling two million dollars.
 Mcclellan contended that the whites claim ownership of at least two hundred and fifty thou sand deer, illegally.
 Chairman Thomas of the Indian Affairs Committee, asserted that the development of the reindeer industry was one means of plac- ing the Eskimos and other Alas kan natives on a self supporting business, and further said that half a million dollars would pro- bably buy up all the white con- trolled deer in the territory.

worn and she felt suddenly sorry for
him and wished there was some
thing she could do to help him.
Toward the middle of the evening
Lucian danced her out onto the
terrace. They moved along into the
shadow at the terraces end, found
bench there and sat down.
1t was then that Lucian kissed
her. 1t was different from what she
expected. 1t didn't thrill her as she
had hoped. 1t wakened in her no
response, no reaction save repulsion
She was glad when the kiss ended
She hoped it was ended. But 1t
wasn't. Lucian was just beginning
He seized her again and she strug-
gled against him. and then unex-
pectedly a mans voice said:
20. K. Squier, lay of. You're
kissing my girl
Both Lucian and Paula were SO
surprised that for moment they
only stared stupidity at the dim out
line Of Bills figure. Paula sensed
rather than saw that Bill was diff
ferent from any time she had ever
seen him.
Lucian laughed harshly and stood
up. Your girl. eh? Who says so?
Your girl, when she's been going out
with me two nights a week for q
month? Your girl when she's been
dying to have me kiss her and it's
only now I've gotten around to it?'
Paula gasped. Bill swore and
leaped. Paula heard the sickenine
sound of flesh against flesh. She
heard hard breathing and the shut
fle Of feet and then a heavy thud
She looked down and Bill lay
stretched out on the terrace and
Lucian stood above him.
With little cry Paula dropped to
her knees. BILL" she cried. Bill!
And Bill opened his eyes and smiled
cynically.

I wanted"
"It has this time, Bill" Paula
cried. "If it's me you want, you've
won. We-well continue to fight
together-for other things. and, dar-
ling, We'll get them, too."
Bills arms went about her and
Bills lips found hers and the thrill
that Paula had expected from being
kissed by Lucian was the result.
Lucian stalked of with a snort OF
disgust. At least he could take a
hint.

accomplished more satisfactorily at

used-live bait in the form of shad

see what you mean. Paula"
Paula didn't see Bill again for
two weeks. She regretted that. She
had always had fun with him. She
didn't intend to break up their
friendship. But she understood. If
Bill loved her it would be hard for
him being with her. She wished
l,o J;d,{ loyo hor cn vouph that
he couldn't bear to see her.
At the end of two weeks she saw
him at Lucy Nash's engagement
party. He didn't look happy. But
he smiled when their eyes met. They
danced together and talked a lot
of small talk, and that was all.
1t was at this same party that
she met Lucian Squier. Lucian came
from Holbrook He was college
friend of Jim Nash, Lucy's brother.
He danced with Paula three times
at the party and then asked if he
might see her home. She thought
he might try to kiss her, but he
didn't. On the contrary, he was
decent and polite and a lot of fun.
He made a date to see her the
following Saturday. They went
dancing and afterward Lucian drove
home by way of lonely Black Swamp.
She thought about him that night.
He was good looking and lot OF
fun. She hoped she'd see more Of
him. She wondered how long it
would be before he tried to kiss her.
She was wondering the same
thing three weeks later. They had

d Statistical data from the

Long a Subject
OF Congress Study.
In so far as information in re-
gard to the railroad problem is
concerned, there is probably no
other subject to which the Con-
gress, year after year, has devoted
more study or obtained more in
formation. The troubles of the
railroads are not new, but they
nave been getting, on the whole,
steadily more difficult since before
the World War. 1t is true that a
general upturn in business would
undoubtedly help to keep many
railroads from actual receivership.
But it is also true that resumption
OF traffic at last years level would
not solve their growing difficulties
permanently.
Most of us have definite objec-
tion to Government subsidies to the
railroads to enable them to meet
the interest on their outstanding
bonds or for any other purpose,
and most of us also oppose Govern
ment ownership and operation Of
the railroads. 1 do.
