URGES ESTABLISHMENT
 OF RUSS BASES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21-Senator Mons c. Wallgren (D.-Wash) today said the State Department should undertake negotiations with Russia for the acquisition of military bases in Siberia.
 Wallgren told reporters that the bases could be used to protect the United States against any Japanese move against this country If Ger many should win out over Russia, they would protect us against the Nazis."

AIR BLITz ON WOLVES
 NEW SPORT
Nome District Pilots Tell of Thrilling Hunts
 from Planes.

Pilots in the Nome section are practicing for winter wolf hunting. Two thrilling air attacks on large families of wolves within 20 miles of Nome have been made recently by veteran Alaska fliers, Frank Whaley, Sigurd Wien and Bill Lund.
 Three wolves are thought to have heen killed, and several were wounded in about two hours of flying But the airmen have re- fused to claim any bounty. They were so engrossed with the excite ment of the chase, and .the wolves were so inconspicuous against the bushes and rocks, that they lost track of animals after they were shot.
 A law passed at the last session of the Legislature enables licensed fliers who, in company with gum ners, have killed wolves from the air, to claim the regular bounty of S20 on the basis of detailed af- fidavits. This makes it possible for airplane wolf hunting to be con- ducted in rough country where landing to pickup dead animals would be impossible.
 Used BuckshOt
 Pilots Wien and Lund attacked a family of 12 wolves. At first the animals were surprised and be- wildered, lyut soCE scattered to race across the tundra. Single animals were then pursued as they fled for vocer. Wien and Lund us-d a 12-guage shot gun loaded with hi1ckclaot. thic aniiir,naafat ruac licad

by Frank Whaley's gunner, also, and is used by other pilots for predator work.
 Mrs. Joe Crosson, who was a recent guest of MT. and Mrs. Whaley at Nome, was flying with the Whaleys when IA wolves were sighted on a rough mountain 20 miles east of Nome. The plane proceeded to Nome for guns, then Frank and Neva Whaley flew back to hunt Neva. who is also a flier, was assigned to the gunners job. The wolves had moved, but by fly, ing in widening circles around the spot where they were seen Frank located them promptly. Then sport commenced.
 Some of the crafty animals dove in clumps of leafy willows to hide. But this availed them nothing. for Frank put the gunner into position by side-slipping the plane toward the willows; and the wolves were blasted out. This occurred several times. Finally, one big grey wolf failed to emerge, then another.
 Hid In Crags
 The Whaleys were amazed to find that the fleet creatures ran swiftly up slopes so steep that the plane could not keep at shooting range except by making wide circles. Downward pursuit had to be so steep that excessive flying speed made accurate shooting impossible. Effort was made to chace the animals into the broad valleys. but they remained among the crags. Mrs. Whaley fired Is shots alto gether. a-ll sat
 Winter hunting conditions are much more favorable than at pres ent. Now the terrain is splotched with dark colored rocks and foliage. In winter, after the bushes have dropped their leaves, and the country is glistening sheet of white snow, the pilots are really going to work on wolves.
 Tracks and moving animals can be seen for miles. Wolves get begged down in soft snow, and Pilot Bill Munz has reported that they tire after being chased for about 20 minutes. They have little chance against a clever assault with suit able equipment
 Save Wildlife
 The Government has, so far, not undertaken airplane wolf hunting in Alaska and. private fliers must pioneer this work. Every dead wolf means saving of great resources of wild life and reindeer, as wolves are persistent killers for sport. Last February Pilot Bebe Ellsworth, with his wife as gunner. killed 16 wolves and coyotes in short early morning flights near Neknek. Conditions were such that Mir. Ellsworth picked up all pelts. which find ready sale for parka ruffs.
 The reindeer ranges of the west coast are about the size of Califor- mia, and ground hunting appears very uneconomical in this huge, roadless, uninhabited tract. But the swift airplane, travelling the great air highways, can attack wolves wherever they have been reported.
 Both Whaley and Ellsworth use Piper Cruisers for their wolf work. Sig Wien intends to procure light plane for wolf hunting this winter Archie Ferguson, of Kotzebue, has shot 16 wolves from Curtis "Robbin", and is keen enthusiast of the sport. When it is realized that the increase of female wolves is goo or 600 per cent each year, the valuable work doiie by airplane hunters is apparent.

ing capitalization stands in the
way of private efforts to accom-
plish such rebuilding. Ackerman
puts it thus: We have built our
cities under guidance of the same
economic fallacy which accounts
for the plight of our railroads. We
failed to extinguish their capitali-
cations at rates corresponding to
physical decay and obsolescence,
whichever was the higher. In
world of unprecedented advance,
il science, the urban center has
stood firm against change, either
in respect to physical plan or fiscal
policy both of which are obsolete"
Such changes sound like a Spar
tan remedy, but no city which has
a "blighted section" at its center
can afford to see that heart of the
city go to seed without making
strenuous efforts to meet the prob
lem before it is too late.

TEACHER
AND BUILDER
christian Science Monitor)

NSHIlSlldll oClelC6 NOlllOI
ANY teacher who looks back on many
years of teaching can take comfort in
the contributions being made by his SUI
dents: but when William M. Donald,
dean of Negro schoolmasters, LOOKS
back over his fifty-one years of contln-
uous service recently completed, he
should be able to see work that shines
like light out of darkness.
For in the span of one man working
years Teacher Donald can recall himself
as son of slave struggling to get an
education, holding little schools for his
people in local Negro church buildings
without school equipment quietly and
indefatigably teaching in one-room rural
schools. until the other day in Enter
prise. Alabama, he cleared his desk for
the last time in building containing
modern equipment, staffed by group OF
faculty assistants, and enrolling 4Oo
pupils.
But the story between the lines is more
than this. 1t is story of the ldeallsm
and sincerity that must have gone into
those years of service. 1t is written IN
the fact that five out of Teacher Donalds
nine children are now teachers also, WIN
the others holding equally responsible
positions 1t is told in the positions OF
trust held by many of the 10000 children
taught by him in these little Negro
schools of the rural South
Professor Donald, as an experienced
educator, of course sees the great work
still to be accomplished, the high litter
acy rate still to be found among adult
Negroes of the deep South. the all too
many poorly housed and ill-equlpped
schools in some rural regions; but 1t is
hoped that he sees also the deeper inter-
est in the Negro felt by many educators
and public men, and the better-informed
and more practical desire on the part of
increasing numbers of Americans to en-
courage this gifted minority race of fel-
low citizens in their sturdy progress.

LIE JUST AHEAD

Crete is lost to the democracies. A

After that, perhaps it will be SPAN ana

West Africa, including Dakar,
1t is a gloomy picture. But 1t is PIC
ture which should not be viewed as the
last scene in the drama of warfare More
important, perhaps, than the question:
Can Hitler complete his Mediterranean
conouests?" is the question, How long
will it take him.
For Hitler's ultimate success or fall
ure today depends more on speed than
on scope. Hitler faces these necessities,
no matter what propaganda comes from
Berlin!
He must gain as much territory as pos
sible before the United States enters the
war.
He must complete and consolidate the
entire present campaign before winter
sets in.
Thus the time element is all important.
Britain is fighting a delaying war. The
British, if they must lose ground, want
to lose it as slowly as possible. For their
strength increases with each month, IN
ratio to that Of Germany. Their losses
in the Mediterranean area represent loss
only of potential Jumping off places for
a continental attack when the time comes,
not loss of comparative striking power.
Only if the losses come too fast are the
British in grave peril Of conclusive de-
feat
The conclusive battle Of this war will
be fought in and around the British Isles,
if the conclusive battle comes this year.
If it is delayed, there is possibility that
it will be fought in Germany, or at least
on the continent. That statement is based
on the fact that successful invasion of
the British Isles is unlikely when winter
weather makes flying difficult and mass
troop transport by sea almost impossible:
If such an invasion is to be attempted
this year, it probably will be attempted
before winter comes.
And it most likely will not be attempt
ed until the Mediterranean struggle has
been resolved.
So Americans, watching the progress
of the German military machine, should
not allow themselves to become unduly
depressed at continued loss Of territory
by the British, just because more and
more territory is lost. The time to worry
in a big way will come when and if it
appears that the Mediterranean will be
lost to Britain before summer has ended.
If that happens, leaving clean weather
for an attack on the British Isles, then
indeed will there be cause for worry.

MODEL FOR LONDON
(Grass Valley Union)

When the city of San Francisco exper--
fenced its terrible baptism of fire and
earthquake 80 years ago, it little dreamed
it was blazing trail or doing favor Tor
genertions unborn, across the world.
When its people wiped their tears and
bound their wounds and pitched in to
clear 521 blocks of charred, Scared
ruins; when they made their careful
plans to rebuild city-those people
would have smiled if they'd been told
their meticulous reconstruction work
would one day benefit another ruined
city-the biggest in the world.
But the havoc wrought by war in Lon
don is being measured in light of its near
est parallel-the San Francisco quake
and fire. From London recently came a
letter asking for advice and counsel on the
rebuilding job to be done there, and San
Francisco officials hastened to respond
in detail, in accordance with the city's
experience.
To those who witnessed the fearful
scene of a city's desolation in 1906, it
seems scarcely believable that man
would contrive to deal out that kind of
punishment to great civilian popula-
ton, purposely.
It is good to know that the rehabilita-
ton pattern fashioned then. today is
helping other men face their ruins with
courage and hope.

GOING TOO FAR

We have championed the right of
Charles A. Lindbergh time and again in
these columns to say what he thinks, even
though we have disagreed with his ideas
most of the time. Now, however we
have the feeling that Col. Lindbergh has
gone farther than any loyal American
has a right to go.
When he urged the people of this ma
tion the other night to turn to new pol
icies and a new leadership" he was get
ting dangerously close to open advocacy
of treason.
In or near election time, such an utter
ance would be perfectly natural and high
ly proper But how, so shortly after cleo
ton, can this nation seek "new leader
ship within the democratic framework?
If we misunderstood Col. Lindbergh'S $
implication, we are Sorry-but he should
have been more specific.
A democratic people has the right to
criticize its elected leader; criticism Is not
disloyalty. But democratic speaker
has no right to urge denial of his leader
ship. That is disloyalty.

growth declined, and in some cities
the actual population is declining.
From the expanding central area
now moves a continual migration
of people to the suburbs and even
the country.
There are many reasons for this
migration, but they boil down to
this: many people weighed the
comparison and found that life
was better farther out. Whcreupon
