ity Act itself becomes little more
than a side issue. Some members
of Congress who criticize the adj

agree with the administration that
the Neutrality Act is bad legisla-

They don't like the Neutrality
Act. But even more they don't like
the administrations implied rea-

upon England, France and the
whole European scene as a sour
job, out of which this country
should keep its hands.
Thus the fight in that respect
becomes again the old battle over
the League of Nations. That affair
lasted many, many months, and
the isolationists won, hands down.

The new Patrol, consisting of AL
aska Wild Life Agents Sam White
of Fairbanks and G. j. Rhode of
Cordova and two Royal Canadian
Mounted Police officers, was set up
to prevent smuggling of wolf and
coyote skins from Yukon into AL
aska and other pelts in the oppo-
site direction.
The Patrol was made possible by
the cooperation of Maj. T. v.
Sandys Wunsch, Superintendent
commanding the Yukon subdivision
of the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police, with the Alaska Game Com
mission.
Flying Border Patrol
Dufre5ne said the Patrol would
be maintained Tor at least another
80 days. 1t operates by flying into
the border region by plane, drop

other pair at another point, the two
then converging on the suspected
violator The plane flies in to pick
up the Patrol and the prisoners the
next day.
Though the Patrol uses plane,
bechuse violators also are SO
equipped, the work still calls for
many miles and hours of hard leg
work ON snowshoes, Dufresne said.
The Patrol was established along
lines predicted by Dufresne before
Committees Of the Territorial House
and Senate here last month when
the bounty question was being dis
cussed.
On Trail Three Years
Dolan was convicted on four
counts covering use of poison and
taking Of Illegal furs. The Game
Commission had been on his trail
for three years. He first came to
Ala5sas attention when IA beaver
pelts which were seized by Homer
w. Jewell, Assistant Executive Of
ficer Of the, Commission, at a Ia
coma fur sale were traced back
through Denver, Vancouver, B. c.,
ana Dawson to Snag, Y. T., where
Dolan lived. 1t was found that the
beaver had been illegally trapped
at Nabesna, Alaska. and smuggled
to Snag. At that time it was sus-
pected that Jack Dolan was taking
wolf and coyote skins over from the
Yukon and taking back beaver
pelts.
Again last year, when Lou An
derton was convicted at Cordova of
collecting on fraudulent bounty
claims and was made to pay $500
back to the Territory, Dolan was
Implicated Anderton said the Snag
mail carrier had smuggled 40 coy

to Nabesna. Dolan has stayed on
the Yukon Territory side of the
border since, and so has been

Lyckens, a naturalized American
citizen, was arrested at his home
in the Sixty Mile River country,
where he had been trapping both
sides of the border. He was con-
victed at Dawson of possession of
poison, releasing to officers num-
Der of contraband marten, fox and
wolf skins.

termed the crew.
Later, the newspaper said, two
German planes flew over Luxem-
bourg territory and generated smoke
trails which formed a huge cross.
Nobody could understand the mean
ing of the demonstration. The
planes continued to France but were
chased away by French pursuit
planes and anti-aircraft guns.
An authoritative source said Ger
man planes were flying system
at'cally over Belgium en- route to
French frontier provinces for re-
connaissance. At first, it was said
the French believed these flights
were accidental, but in view of their
repetition, it was now decided that
the Germans were ignoring Belgian
neutrality to get better information
on the Allies positions.
Last nights patrol raids on the
Saar front were preceded by reci-
procal reconnaissance flights. The
French reported that Germans had
changed their tactics in the past
few days, having virtually aban-
doned daytime fighting for night
fights.

Army May Waive
Bid Requirements
On Plane Orders

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. (UPo-
The administration may ask con-
gresSA to remove the competitive
bidding requirements on army all
craft and other purchases to safe
guard the national defense program
against interference from foreign
orders, it was learned today.
A study of the problem is being
completed by army procurement
experts. Their report will be sent
to Assistant Secretary of War Louis
Johnson, who is in charge of the
army's buying program, for a final
decision whether to press the mat
ter at the coming session OF con-
gress.
The national defense act of 1920
gives the secretary of war the power
to waive the, competitive bidding
restrictions if there is war or il
it is "im.ninent.' Experts said that
the issue has arisen whether this
power should be available during
the present Limited national emer-
gency." Such a step would require
congressional legislation.
