HENRY WALLACE IN ELLWOOD

To Henry Wallace the town of Elwood, Indiana, is memorable only as the place where, once and for all. he settled the ques- tion of how to pronounce the word tomato"
 He went to ElWood two years ago unaware that Willkie had ever lived there, to speak at a tomato festival. He opened the speech by telling the audience that Washington hostesses tried to make him say. "to-mah-to," !" and it went hard with him be- cause back in Iowa he always used to say, "To-may-to."
 So he proposed to settle the question right there in Elwood. He put it to a vote. "Those in favor of 'to-mah-to,' raise their hands, commanded Henry. Not a

hand was raised. Those in favor of 'to-may-to?" Every hand went up.
 Henry went back to Washing ton and told Mrs. Wallace that he had been vindicated, that he didn't have to follow the vogue of Capital hostesses any more. But Mrs. Wallace took the side of the opposition, declaring that in Mexico, where the tomato came from, the word must have been pronounced "to-mah-to."
 Result is that when the Wallac es sit down to dinner, Henry starts off with 'to-mayto" juice and Mrs. Wallace has "to-mah- to- juice, and the chances of re- conciliation on this issue are very slight indeed.

SEC. ICKES ANNOUNCES POLICY TO GOVERN SALE OF ALASKA REINDEER

WASHINGTON Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes an nounced the governments policy in connection with Alaska rein deer in a press release. He said:
 "The welfare of Eskimos and Indians of Alaska is a matter of continuous Federal concern. To resolve unrest, 10 insure social and economic security for these people, to protect capital already invested by the Federal Govern ment, we have acquired reindeer to which whites had title & will hereafter forbid the sale of live reindeer to anyone in Alaska but natives, except for slaughter. We will also regulate the range to protect grazing resources. With this accomplished, we think the natives of northern and western Alaska will attain economic Se- curity by possessing the one and only food industry their ances- tral homelands can provide"
 Purchase of non-native owned Alaska Reindeer is expected to terminate misunderstanding that have become more and more acute since white commercial in- terests have been active in de- veloping the industry along lines considerably different from the method of the natives. Disputes as to ownership, range control and other matters have been in- herent in the disparity between the two methods. With the re- moval of commercial interests the Indian Service will be able to distribute and protect the rein deer so as to provide an adequate substance for the native popula- tion and at the same time pre- vent the serious deterioration of the range.
 A generation of factional strife in the far frozen north, compar- able in drama and intensity with the cattle-sheep warfare of the | American West thus comes to an end.
 Commenting on the reindeer work of the Indian Service John Collier, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, pointed out that;
 The Alaska Reindeer industry, |+ born in 1892, is now the basic source of food, clothing and sup port of large percentage of na- tives. Because of the essential un productiveness of arctic or sub arctic Alaska, reindeer continue ] to be the only stable source of food, clothing, and to lesser ex tent of income for the native in habitants of the reindeer regions,
 The area, occupied by 18,000 Eskimos and adapted to the rais- ing of reindeer is the coastal re- zion stretching from Demarka- ton Point on the Arctic Ocean to Ugashik on Bristol Bay near the base of the Alaska Peninsula. Reindeer also live on certain of the Aleutian Islands and on Ko- diak Island. It is hoped that they may be grazed on other islands in southeastern Alaska and in certain parts of the interior.
 The reindeer in these regions sprang from 1,289 animals i'm ported by the Government from Siberia between 1892 and 1902 to bolster the vanishing native foods. Starting in 1914 white in- terestS acquired reindeer which grazed on ranges adjacent to those occupied by native deer or in many instances on the same range. Suspicion, jealousy, charg es of transgression and profteer- ing developed. Both natives and non-natives have suffered thru the strife. Joint use of range and of handling facilities by whites and natives will now be abandon ed and mixed herds abolished.

Petroleum Committee
Denies Defraudinq
Of Gasoline Buyers
House Groups Inquiry
Not to Sturt Until
Next Week

The Executive Committee of the
District Petroleum Industries Com
mittee yesterday denied charges that
service station operators in the Dis
trict are defrauding motorists by
selling ordinary gasoline at high-test
gasoline prices.
Buyers of gasoline, the committee
said, are obtaining the type of gaso-
line for which they pay.
Action of the committee, rep
resenting independent and chain
service stations, followed announce
ment by Chairman Nichols of the
special House \ subcommittee ap-
pointed to investigate the gasoline
situation that the inquiry would
not start until next week.
Mr.. Nichols, who previously had
said the investigation might begin
Friday, said George M. Roberts,
superintendent of weights, measures
and markets, would be the first wit
ness.
Should the Nichols special subcom-
mittee instigate legislation provid-

cused of selling regular grade gaso-
line at premium prices, an unused
appropriation of $500 is available
to the Department of Weights,
Measures and Markets for investi-
cations.
THE amount is ample to keep a
close check on dealers" Mr.. Rob-
erts said today as he prepared his
records of last years investigation
for presentation to the subcommit-
tee. The investigation showed that
OF 80 purchases of high-test gaso-
line selling at premium prices, fully
~ per cent were proved on analysis
by the Bureau of Standards to be
OF regular grade or lower.
That investigation cost about
$4,000 of last years appropriation,
Mr.. Roberts said. 1t seems useless,
he added, to spend more of the
peoples money when there is moth
ing we can do against violators," :"
and therefore further investigations
on large scale have been stopped.

ING attention to the average teacher
ealary Of s735 with which North Car
Dina leads the southeastern states.
The average for the nation, he said,
is approximately Sl,3Oo.
Bills now before Congress would
provide federal aid to states, DR..
DOUGLASS said, providing funds for
distribution on the basis of the num-
Der of children between the ages of
5 and 10 and on the ability of the
individual state to educate these chill
dren.
North Carolina, he said, would be
most favored under the proposed
legislation, because of the large num-
! Der of rural children in the state.
The proposed federal aid law
would provide S75,000.000 for dis
tribution among the states during the
first year, this sum increasing an
nually for six years until the maxi
mum of S2l0000,000 is reached. Oh
this sum North Carolina would re-
ceive approximately S4,O00,0O0 at the
beginning and approximately Sl3.-
100000 when the maximum was
reached
Objections to the proposed legis-
lation, DR.. Douglass said, have come
largely from wealthy taxpayers and
from those who do not understand
provisions of the law Lack of ac-
quaintance with the proposals and
lack Of interest in the subject have
also delayed action, he said.
Questions asked from the floor
at the conclusion Of Dr.. Douglass
discussion included:
Would the states lose control of
their schools through operation OF
the federal aid plan?" To this DR.
Douglass read from the proposed law
statements definitely intended to
guard against this possibility.
would negro schools be raised tc
the same standard as white schools
and would negroes attend school with
white children" Dr.. Mcdonald re-
piled that no previous federal aic
to schools has brought about this
condition and that such circum-
stance has not been intended by the
proposed law
would any part of the fedora
funds be allocated to colorec
schools" The bill now before Con.
gress, it was stated, provides for di-
vision of funds on the basis of pro-
portion of colored to white children
What would the additional fed.

the council and tentative plans for
1our or five additional forums this
year were made. At the suggestion
OF Z: M Rollins, superintendent of
me henderson and Vance county
| schools, the group selected as the
topic Tor the next forum the subject
Next Desirable Steps for Education
III Vance county.
"A forum is any place where peo-
pie meet for public discussion. Dr..
Mcdonald said in opening the meet
ing. He went on to say that forums
are IN session Whenever people meet
to talk over questions of public in
terest and that the formal public
forums sponsored by the University
and the United States Office of Edu-
cation have been developed for the
two purposes of stimulating public
discussion and Of developing toler-
ance through opportunity for the
presentation Of the two sides which
belong to any public question.
Regarding the topic before the
forum last night Dr. Mcdonald said
that the matter resolves into the two
questions: is the education of chill
dren responsibility resting partly
upon the United States governments
and rs il 50 much Of responsibility
that the federal government should
appropriate money for part of the
cost Of cducatlOn!"
Dr.. Douglass expressed at the out
set of his discussion the opinion that
federal aid for schools is needed
Such aud coUld be obtained. he said
whenever the public became enough
Interested and aroused to bring pres
sure 10 bean on Congress for the pas
sage OF necessary legislation, which
| already has been introduced in both
houses OF Congress.
Historically. Dr.. Douglass said, the
question Of education has been left
to the individual communities and
the individual states, although for
many years the federal government
has been giving financial aid to in
stitutioIs of higher learning and for
specialized work, such as vocational
training, in the public schools.
Modern conditions, however, DR.
Douglass pointed out, have altered
the old conditions whereby there
were only small inequalities of OPP
portunity fer children to receive an
education.
Concentration Of wealth, he said
has developed in almost inverse ratio
10 the concentration OF children OF
school age, making it so that the
richest states had the feWeSt children
10 educate and the poorest states hao
the largest number of children de-
handing schooling. DR.. Douglass
quoted figures showing that the ma
tional income varied from a high in
some state Of approximately $4,000
through the national average of ST.
SEQ. to the North Carolina average
Of 81 900 and to states Of even lower
average income.
The speaker cited figures on aver
age pay of teachers to show the in
ability of poor states tO meet the ma,
tonal average or the higher salarie!
