The airplane is not particularly
noted today as an aid in the per-
petuation of life.
And yet there probably escaped
the general public attention recently
the fact that an airplane, dis
patched from Alaska by Uncle Sam,
was in large measure responsible
for saving the reindeer herds of the
vast bleak section of that country
inhabited by Eskimos and indirectly
the Eskimos themselves.
During the last few years the
chief food and livelihood of the
$4,000 Eskimos who live in an
Alaskan area larger than the State
of Texas was threatened. The
reindeer herds had been split up
and no one knew which animals
the white men owned and which the
Eskimos owned. AS a result many
reindeer were left untended to die
of starvation, to be frozen, or be
killed by marauding wolves.
Some of the herds decreased as
much as 80 per cent. The vast
Kivalina herd, which numbered
1900 animals in 1882, had dwindled
to 5000 last winter.
1t looked as though the Eskimos

deer herds, would either face

Government, the Eskimos Of North
ern Alaska can look forward to a
winter of security and work. And
the young boys. especially, should be
happy over the roundup, for it is
upon them that the work of tending
the herds largely falls.
For IL months of the year the
boys who choose to become herders
must guard the lives of the animals.
They must follow them over the
tundras through the long winters,
keeping the wolves away, hunting
food when billiards. and bitter winds
freeze over the vegetation.
In the humid, damp summers the
boys must see that the black swarms
of gnats. flies and mosquitoes do not
all but devour the nervous animals.
The young herders must be prac-
tical veterinarians and be able to
cure a sick reindeer When the
herds are on the increase they must
know how to slaughter the animals
for food and cut up the hides for
clothing.
The life of these dwellers of the
Far North is not a lively one as
compared to the standards set by
civilization. In the winter the chill

as one of the most astute politicians
in the Republican Party, he has had
long experience in practical politics.
Mr.. Martin makes his Washington
home in a hotel near Republican
headquarters. When in the Capital,
he usually reaches his office by 7:3O
or 8 in the morning. After con-
ferring with his aides, attending to
his correspondence, and receiving
visitors, he speeds to Capitol Hill
at noon, if the House Is in session,
to take up his duties as Republican
floor leader. BY mid-afternoon, he
often returns to national committee
headquarters, and frequently will
put in couple of hours work there
after dinner.
Pressure Eased.
Chairman Martin keeps in close
touch with Mr.. Willkie by telephone.
Hardly a day passes that the two
men do not exchange views on
campaign developments. Henry P.
Fletcher, one-time head of the ma
tional committee, and former AM
bassador and Undersecretary of
State, is assistant to Chairman Mar
tin. One if his assignments Is to ease
the pressure on Chairman Martin
by receiving visitors whom the
latter, because of the demands on
his time, is unable to see. His diplo-
matte background has made Mr..
Fletcher an excellent buffer" for
Chairman Martin.
The publicity division is headed by
Franklin Waltman, a former news
paperman. Adjoining his office,
which overlooks the White House,
is the city room," where a large
staff prepares the material for the
publicity barrage which the G. o. P.
is laying down on the enemy, and
his Notifications. AS its major OBJ
jective. the division is seeking to
present the Republican case in every
American newspaper, on every radio
network, and in motion-picture
newsreel. and in picture and other
magazines. The volume of material
released by the division is enormous,
and it flows through many channels.
Director Waltman is the author
of a weekly column" Looking For
ward" which is distributed, at their
request, to several thousand daily
and weekly newspapers. In his col
umn, he discusses current affairs in
Washington, giving the Republican
slant on these developments. For
the benefit of small daily and week.
ly newspapers, the division publishes
each week a clip sheet. This is a
combination of facts and opinion,
and serves as another medium for
laying the G.. o. P. point of view
before the country.
Regular Features.
In addition to a spot-neWs re-
lease service for the information
of Washington correspondents and
political writer's, the publicity divi-
sion has special news services for
the Catholic, Jewish, farm, labor,
and the Negro press. 1t has also
established an industrial news serv-
| ice, for distribution to trade and
business papers. Another important
activity of the division is the car
toon service. More than 1890 news
papers are now receiving cartoons
prepared by G.. o. P. artists. In

Allies Want 10 Buy
10000 More Planes
Within Next Year
Full Force of Germun
Air Attack Expected
To Come in Spring

Bearing out Prime Minister Cham
berlain's warning of grim war
ahead, Washington official quarters
heard today that the Allied Pur-
chasing Mission in this country
wishes to place orders for 10000
American war planes for delivery
within the next year The orders
would supplement present contracts
calling for about 5000 planes.
According to reports reaching
Washington officials, the British ex-
pect the full force of Germany's air
attack will be forthcoming in the
spring. While their own plane pro-
duction has been stepped up tre-
mendously since the war began, both
Britain and France, it is understood
here, feel they must also have
American-made planes in quantity
if they are to overcome within the
year the superiority of Germany in
air strength.
Pursuit Ships Needed.
The allies are seeking bombers and
pursuit ships from American fac
tories, which are now running at
full capacity on foreign orders and
filling domestic contracts for the
Army and Navy. Further expansion
of plane production capacity is
viewed by experts here as the only
way to supply the needs of the allies,
who are reported as particularly
anxious to obtain many hundreds
of American-made pursuit ships.
These craft in the hands of French
airmen already have proved their
superiority over the German fight
ers, according to reports on action
on the western front.
The allies, particularly Great
Britain, anticipate intensified aerial
warfare, directed largely at British
shipping, coastal towns and navy
bases in the North Sea So far, most
aerial activity has consisted of OBJ
servation and Photographic flights.
Firms to Get Planes.
To these flights and the accurate
spotting of British naval vessels the
allies attribute their trouble from
German submarines and mines.
Meanwhile, work is being speeded
on A of the latest type of the navys
fighting craft, similar to pursuit
ships, which Finland has obtained
from the Brewster Aircraft Corp. of
New York. This order will be COM
pleted within the next week or 10
days, according to reports reaching
here, and the planes will be shipped
Immediately to the Firms.
