WARDENS FLY LARGE
 AREAS IN FEW HOURS

Trappers are a pretty good lot of folks in Wildlife Agent Jack O'Connor's area - but they are even better these days, Game Com1nissionally speaking"
 Reason? A good one.
 Agents O'Connor and Gren Collins have been making aerial patrols in Agent Collins two place airplane.
 Well, we're not surprised" 7" trappers greet them, We've seen wardens travelling in every con- ceivable way" as they drop out of the sky poking their official noses out of an airplane.
 Time was when Wardens mush ed slowly over miles of trail checking during beaver trapping season-sometimes heralded via rnukluk wireless; but now they have taken to wings even as have the trappers traders and fur buy CTS in Alaska Mushing is not out either, for often landing places even on skis, are not always pro perly located so the boys take to their snoWShoeS.
 Recently these two represent atives of the Alaska Game Com mission covered approximately 1,5O0 miles in about Is hours flight. They dropped in at var ous trapping grounds, lakes, and cabins as well as trading posts. They flew over most of the beaV- CT area on both sides of the Al aska Railroad as far north as Tal- keetna, across the Suslstna flats, around the Yentna and Swentna drainage along Cook Inlet, thru Lake Clark Pass and over the dralnage regions ol Lakes IldIk and Ihannna.
 On return trip due to the fact that Lake Clark Pass was plug ged with fog, they swung over part of the Mulchatna and Stony River valleys and broke thru the Alaska Range via Merrill Pass. = Collins is holder of a private palot's license and has logged ov- CT 100 hours since last October in his light plane, covering his own district which includes most of the Arctic. His headquarters are at Nome. Collins has over 200 hours, having flown Outside before coming to Alaska.

10 Negroes DCpOrtcd
by Coast City

Stockton Cal. Sept. 7 (CNA)-
The Stockton Negro community
was agitated this week over the
forcible deportation of forty
Negro agricultural workers from
tho county.
The workers were rounded up
by the police and booked in the
local Jail on vagrancy charges.
At a hearing before Police Judge
f. E. Breitenbucher political ma
chine appointee they were found
guilty Of vagraney sentenced to
$50 days in the county Jail. Sen
tence was then suspended on con-
dition they leave the county and
not return for two years.
1t was reported that policeman
engaged in the roundup had said:
There's too many niggers in
town. We've got orders to drive
yon out before election"
Many Of the workers driven
from town had made Stockton
their home for many years. Some
at the time of their arrest were
awaiting the arrival of a con.
tractors truck to take them to a
peach-picking job at Linden.

200, 900 Dismissals on
WPA Planned

Washington, Sept. 6 ICY Chas.
Alexander for CNA)- Works
Projects Administration officials
announced this week that plans
have been completed for the dis
missal of over 100000 workers
from the work-relief rolls by mid
October. The dismissals are in
addition to the thousands being
fired under the eighteen months
provision of the Woodrum Relief
Bill. Workers on the rolls now
number 100000. a considerable
reduction during the past few
weeks.
An extent of the rate of re-
duction was seen from the reports
of major cities. New York City
reported $4,000 laid off so far,
with an additional $4,000 schedul-
ed for Dismissal within the next
ten days. 1t was revealed that the
number on the rolls in that city
was the lowest since 1888. Other
large cities show a similar trend.
The dismissals in New York
we're reported hitting Negroes
with unusual severity. Several
hundred Negroes have already
been fired under the 18-months
ruling and a considerable num-
Der is still slated to go.
The social usefulness of the
WPA was dramatically demon
strated by a partial report issued
by Colonel Somervill, the New
York City administrator. The re-
port stated that during the past
year the New Deal work program
has built 3O8 new Public buildings,
repaired 633, made 100 miles of
new highways, built score of
new Fairgrounds, and made many
other public and municipal i'm

her and then criminally assaulted

Relatives of the accused Negro
employed Attorney Webster l..
Porter, to defend him, and when
the case was called in city court
Wednesday morning, Judge John
L. Mynatt dismissed the charges
after hearing the statements of
Chief of Detectives Pat Wells,
Mrs. Anderson and Jeffries. After
the grilling cross examination of
the white woman and her male
companion by Attorney Porter, in
which fragrant conflicting state
ments were offered and absurd
contentious were advanced, Judge
Mynatt announced, there's moth

Tn addition LOG miles of new
water mains were improved, two
new breakwaters were erected and
several piers were repaired.
Announcement of the new fir
ings was accompanied by reports
of further wage cuts. Under the
Woodrum Bill the national WPA
administration is ordered to make
the wage reductions at the same
time increasing the number of
hours of work.
The United States Conference
of Mayors under the leadership
of Mayor LaGuardia of New York
has protested the reduced wages.
The Mayors pointed out that such

Railroad Union De-
mands Probe of Fatal
Wreck

San Francisco, Sept. 7 (CNA)
Was the wreck of the City of
Francisco, streamlined train in
which "a persons, including eight
dining-service employees, were
killed, a result Of the %"retrench-
ment" policies of the railroad
monopolists who reduced appro-
priations for personnel and main
tenance of trackage and equip
ment?
That question was raised this
week as veteran train service
employees charged that fragrant
neglect of equipment may have
been responsible for the fatal
crackup and ridiculed Southern
Pacific officials charges of sabo-
tage as "poppycock.'
The charge was backed up Of
ficially in Chicago when AFL
Joint Council e Dining Car EN-
ployees asked the U. S. Depart
rreat of Justice to investigate the
curtailment" of maintenance ex-
ems on railroad trackage as a
probable cause of the wreck.
"The lives of members of our
organization were lost and some
of them were manned on the
recent wreck Of the Southern Pa
cific lines near Carlin and Elko,
Nevada" said the union letter ad-
dr. to Attorney-General
Frank Murphy and signed by
Secretary Treasurer Fshmael P.
Flory.
Referring to Southern Pacific's
charge of Sabotage" Flory said:
"The truth of this conclusion has
ror been established to the salts
faction of our organization, and
20 the bereaved members of the
deceased and manned"
Seven of the Negro employees
killed in the wreck were members
of the walters union, and one
a member Of the Brotherhood Of
Sleeping Car Pc itrs.
Six walters also suffered grave
injuries, and several of them may
be crippled for life.

Armstrong Got Raw
Deal
By LESTER RODNEY
Crusader News Agency

OUT OF THE weller of accu-
cations of Elk" denials and gen
eral bad taste following the sec
ond Armstrong-Ambers fight one
thing is clear and has to be said
Armstrong got a bad deal.
When two little fighters like
Armstrong and Ambers lock to-
gether for fifteen bruising rounds
of what was almost toe to toe
punching it's impossible to clean
ly and accurately score the rounds
in favor of one Or another. The
completely contradictory score
cards around the press box and
even of the three judges proved
that.
Nevertheless there were very
few who would have given Am
bers the fight without the aid of
five rounds automatically award
ed him by Referee Donovan for
supposed Armstrong fouls. Don
ayan's ~scoreeard itself yen with
the five round headstart for Am
bers was only 7 and 7 in favor of
Lou. So if it weren't for the
rounds taken away from him by
the referee whose judgement in
the matter also dictates the score
of the two judges it's clear that
Armstrong would have won the
fight and retained the lightweight
title.
What about those "fouls ?"
