Ranges About Size of California

The reindeer ranges of the west coast are about the size of California, and ground hunting apears very uneconomical in this huge, roadless, uninhabited tract But the swift airplane, travelling the great air highways, can at tack wolves wherever they have been reported.
 Both Whaley and Ellsworth use Piper Cruisers for their wolf work. Sig Wien intends to pro- cure a light plane for wolf hunt ing this winter. Archie Fergu- son, of Kotzebue, has shot l6 wolves from a Curtis Robin" '" and is a keen enthusiast of the sport. When it is realized that the increase of female wolves is 500 to 500 percent each year, the valuable work done by airplane hunters is apparent.

Nome Pilots Practicins For Winter
 Wolf Hunting From AirpIanes
 Predators Prove Very Hard To Hit

Piles in the Nome section are practieing for winter wolf hunt ing. Two thrilling air attacks on large families of wolves within 20 miles of Nome have been made by veteran Alaska flyers, Frank Whaley, SigWd Wien and Bill Lund.
 Three wolves are thought to have been killed, and several were wounded in about two hours of flying. But the airmen have refused to claim any bounty. They were so engrossed with the excitement of the chase, and the wolves were so incOn- spicuous against the bushes and rocks, that they lost track of the animals after they were shot. A law passed at the last session of the Legislature enables licensed flyers who, in company with gun ners, have killed wolves from the air, to claim the regular bounty of $20 on the basis of detailed aAidavits. This makes it possible for airplane wolf hunt ing to be conducted in rough country where landing to pick up dead animals would be impos- Sib1n

The Presidents speech was a stern but by no means chip-on- the-shoulder notice to Germany and Italy that, within the limits defined by the address, the clock had struck the quitting hour. In the waters which we deem neces- sary for our defense, American naval vessels and American plan es will no longer wait until Axis submarine lurking under water, or Axis raiders on the surface of the sea, strike their deadly blow first" Those words may mean that trying times are ahead for those claiming the nationality of the men who spoke them. We have been in a jam before, and are still here. Hitler has not been put to such a test. The future may hold new experience for

Sea RattleSnakes

Having recourse to a little lev ity, in order to relieve the ten sion caused by serious mistake, it ould be had to find out much about sea rattlesnakes in natural history books, good natured joke which probably would give the President himself a laugh, at a time when bereavement and official cares have combined to make White House laughs few and far between: but there is something to think about that is more important than mixed up biology.

The advance of the United States toward the shooting stage is deplored by all. None is more concerned upon that score than MT. Roosevelt. Nevertheless, as he and his predecessors in office have pointed out, the seas must be cleared of piratical rampage. More is involved than merely promoting the American ship ping business; more, even, than making it possible for citizens of the United States to sail the great depth in safety The fact that the country is bounded on the north by Canada, and on the south by Mexico, gives rise to no anxiety. Peace of mind would depart, if the eastern and west ern boundaries were the Axis Ocean.

Tire In About 20 Minutes

Winter hunting conditions are much more favorable than at present. Now the terrain is spIotched with dark colored rocks and foliage. In winter. af- ter the bushes have dropped their leaves, and the country is a glisten1ng sheet of Whlte siruo, the pilots are really going to work on wolves. Tracks and nov ing animals can be seen for miles. Wolves get begged down in soft snow, and Pilot Bill Munz has reported that they tire af- ter being chased for about 20 minutes. They have little chance against clever aerial assault with suitabe equipment.
 The Government has, SO. far, not undertaken airplane wolf hunting in Alaska and private flyers must pioneer this work. Every dead wolf means a saving of great resources of wild life and reindeer, as wolves are per sistent killers for sport. Last Feb ruary Pilot Babe Ellsworth, with his wife as gunner, killed l6 wolves and coyotes in short early morning flights near Nak- nek Conditions were such thot MT. Ellsworth picked up all pelts which find ready sale for parka ruffs.

Attack Family of 12

Pilots Wien and Lund attacked family of 12 wolves At first the animals were surprised and bewildered, but soon scattered to race across the tundra Single annals were then pursued as they fled for cover. Wien and Lund used l2-guage shotgun loaded with buckshot; this equip ment was used by Frank WhaI- ey's gunner, also, and is used by other pilots for predator work.
 Mrs. Joe Crosson, who was recent guest of MT. and Mrs. Whaley at Nome, was flying with the Whaleys when IA wolves were sighted on a rough noun tain 20 miles east of Nome. The plane proceeded to Nome for guns, then Frank and Neva Whal ey flew back to hunt. NeVa, who is also a flyer, was assigned to the gunner's job. The wolves had moved, but by flying in Wid- ening circles around the spot where they were seen, Frank located them promptly. Then the sport commenced.
 Some of the crafty animals dove into clumps of leafy will lows to hide. But this availed them nothing, for Frank put the gunner into position by side-slip- ping the plane toward the will lows; and the wolves were blast ed out. This occurred several times. Finally, one big gray wolf failed to emerge, then another.
 Crafty Animals Hide
 The Whaley were amazed to find that the fleet creatures ran swiftly up slopes so steep that the plane could not keep at shoot ing range except by making wide circles. Downward pursuit had to be so steep that excessive

It is idle to say of the Nazi head that, having attempted to spread his dominion over Europe with more than a threatening gesture in the direction of Africa he will be content, if ultimately successful, to leave a hot bed of Democracy untouched on the Western Continents. The Presi- dent did no more than to give voice to a sense of self-preserva- tion and self-respect that is na- tion-wide. Never believers in the Nazi revelation, the people of the United States have come to feel that something beside schol- astic disapproval is called for. The President is backed by a large non-partisan majority.

Postn,en Say
Their Uniforms
Too Costly

LOS ANGELES, Sept. Sup
The Nations postmen want Q
Congressional investigation into
the cost of the uniforms they

The National Association
adopted q resolution asserting
the cost of the uniforms Is all
out of proportion to the cost of
other civilian clothing.
At the same time they asked
that the Government neither
furnish them nor provide q 500
allowance for their purchase.
The postmen didn't elaborate on
the reason fer this unusual re-
quest.
Rep. j. Harold Flannery Cd
Pa.) member of the House Post
office Committee, told the con-
vention the Department had an
Sl8,OOO,OOO surplus last year and
predicted it would be $30,00O,-
900 in the current fiscal year.
He suggested that men in the
Armed Forces be permitted to

Army Corporal

ORENO, New, Sept. 3-R)-
Cobina Wright is too interested
in her career to think of marry
ing Corporal Palmer T. Beau
dette, son of a wealthy Pontiac
man, or anybody else right now,
the mother of the New York and
Hollywood actress and night
club singer said tonight.
The mother, who is also named
Cobina, talking on the telephone
from a dude ranch 20 miles
south of Reno, said:
II don't understand why Pal
mer Beaudette should make
such a statement.
''We find him very charming
and like him very much, but
there is no truth at all in the
statement that Cobina will mar
ry him.
"She is too interested in her
career to marry him or anyone
now"
The mother said her daughter
was ill. and declined to call her
to the telephone.
Beaudette visited the ranch
where the Wrights are staying
yesterday.
The mother said she and CO.
bina would fly back to Holly
wood tomorrow by special plane.
They are frequent visitors in
Reno.
In Pontiac, o. Leo Beaudette,
said today he had had an link
ling" of the friendship between
his son and Cobina but that any
plan to wed was news to him.
Young Beaudette caused a
stir in Pontiac and Detroit So
ciety in 1884 when he eloped to
Bowling Green, O., with Miss
Marie Louise Lord, daughter of
Robert o. Lord, former Detroit
banker, q few days after their
engagement was announced.
They moved to Carmel. Calf,
where a daughter was born, and
are now divorced.
He is a grandson of oliver j.
Beaudette, founder of the Beau
dette Buggy Works of Pontiac.
That company branched into the
automobile body field and was
sold in 1922 to the Fisher Body
Corp.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3-(R
"A Minnesota congressman,
Just returned from six weeks of
sea duty as q Marine Corps
Reserve Air officer. declared to-
day that Japan was "deathly
afraid" of the United States
fleet when il was in the Pacific.
The Legislator Colonel, Rep,
Mas (R.-Minn.), remarked in
IN interview that some of the
fleet had been withdrawn to
the Atlantic, but he expressed
the opinion nevertheless that
United States Forces in the
Pacific remain strong enough to
fend off any attack against this
nation, and at the same time
keep open supply routes for
vital shipments of rubber and
tin,
Further, he said he believed
that the Western Hemisphere
sis in no danger from Japanese
aggression"
a 1.-THE Hawaiian Islands are
more powerful than Gibraltar
ever was because their defenses
are geared to modern warfare"
he said. "No Navy could get
to Panama without passing
Hawaii and no Navy could get
past Hawaii.
Japan is deathly afraid OF
the American fleet when 1t is
intact. It is significant that
they did not move into Indo-
China until the fleet in the
Pacific had been split and part
of it had been transferred to
the Atlantic.
I'm spite Of all the secrecy OF
the navy, the first information
that the American public had
that the fleet had been split
was a news broadcast from
Tokyo giving the dates the
