NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-Stories of
insolence and INSTRUMENTATION among
the crew came today from passen-
gers aboard the liner Acadia, which
docked last night after weathering
a hurricane described by the captain
as the worst he had seen in 80 years.
The Eastern Steamship liner, un-
der charter by the U. S. Lines,
brought $40 passengers, including
482 Americans, from Europe.
Sixteen crew members and six
passengers received bruises and other
injuries during the storm.
Ships officers confirmed passen-
ger statements of trouble with the
crew, but said it arose from union
disputes. They SAID members of
the two rival maritime labor or
ganizations-the National Maritime
Union &C. I. o. and the Interna-
tional Seamens Union GA. F. of L)
engaged in dozen fights during
the crossing.
Used Abusive Language.
Miss Edna McDonOugh OF New
York said the stewards used abusive
language to the officers and at times
refused to obey them.
The Acadias master, Capt. Robert
H. Allen, remarked dryly:
mo one was insolent to me-"
A second passenger, William E.
Charming of LenoX, Mass. a grad
uate student at Harvard University,
said the whole service was bad" and
that two mothers had been unable
to get proper food from stewards
for their babies.
Other passengers complained they
had been compelled to pay S100 or
more extra passage money.

WOLVES CUT DOWN
 TWO DEER HERDS

Wolves cutting into the rein deer herds in the last five years have reduced the Noorvik deer from 5000 head to 100, and the Selawik deer from 14,000 to 2,000 it was reported in Fairbanks by Archie R. Ferguson of Selawik.
 He and his brother Warren J. Ferguson of Kotzebue, have trad ing posts at Selawik, Kotzebue, Shungnak. and Deering, and are the owners of Ferguson Airways. Pilots Jack Hermann and Mau- rice King fly for the Fergusons,
 Wolves are hard to trap in the Kotzebue and Selawik sections, or in any open tundra country, MT, Ferguson said. They seldom put their feet in a trap, and as long as deer or caribou are avail able, they won't take bait.
 Eskimo herders seldom have an opportunity to shoot wolf. Hunting by plane with a shotgun is the best way to kill the pred ators, MT. Ferguson has demon strated.
 The Ferguson Airways pilots, with the cooperation of Aero nautics Inspector Charles R. Burnett, and MT. Ferguson recent ly proved the feasibility of wolf hunting by plane, using a Cur tis Robin. A pump shotgun, 12 guage, with buckshot bullets, got the job done.
 Wolf tactics among deer are highly destructive. Accustomed to the herder's dogs, the deer are not as wild as caribou, and are easy prey for the predators.
 On killing a deer, wolves us- ually take only the tongue. blood, heart, and liver, and leave the rest of the carcass, then go on to kill another.
 MT. Ferguson and Hermann flew to Fairbanks in the Curtis Robin plane, nd enroute they watched a wolf chasing moose near Hot Springs.

Maritime Com.
 Announce Seat
 tle-Orient Run

WASHINGTON, Feb. II (P)- The Maritime Commission an nounced the immediate reestab- Ishment of the American flag freighter service between Seattle and the Orient. The Commission said the service would begin as soon as suitable commissioned vessels could be moved to Puget Sound, and they would be sup plemented within eight months by four combination passenger and freight ships now in the Baltic service.
 There has been no American flag service out of Seattle since June, when the Dollar Steamship Company withdrew the Ameri, can Mail Line boats.
 The Commission rejected the proposal of the Puget Sound del- egatien, that four idle Munson liners be put in service on the ground that they stood a chance of losing about three million dol lars before the new ships would be ready for service. The Com mission feels that if they use the Baltic ships they stand a chance of breaking even.

comes the rumor that Earl
Adams, manager of the Trojan

an all-star team to meet the

In the outfield we may find
the Conchs little weak. At left
there's juice Barcelo, a 800 hit
ter, in the first-half of the Mon
roe County League schedule, but
who is now in a batting slump.
Evelio "Skippy" Rueda, Trojans,
can be used as a substitute in
this position. In the center gar
den will be- found julius "Do-Do"
Villareal, the kid wonder, who is
breaking all local batting records.
At rightfield, the right man for
that post will be Clayton Serling,
member of Adams Trojans.
